I sometimes like working on never-to-be-finished video game projects


Right now I'm making a game called Chronicles.


Wanna make a game? Here is a list of great C++ libraries to use.


I maintain a Letterboxd in much the way that I assume people maintain bonsai trees.

I know I want to implement a fairly simple FSM graph for NPC AI but I'm running into a few issues with the implementation. You want to very simply say things such as "If you can reach the player to use a specific ability on them within X turns, try to do that."

You want to be able to define these rules-based behavior states in assets and not in code because that's how we're doing things.

Hey all!! I'm releasing Grapevine, the Arcade/Puzzle game I've been working on, today! You can play a demo version in your browser, or get the full game at the link below! It's just a little thing, and I'm only selling the full game for $1, so if you feel like picking it up, it would really mean a lot to me!

the thing about being in a public space is that you are in a public space.

one of the advantages of online public spaces is that you can usually block and/or silence people, which is a physical impossibility in non-online spaces. that's pretty neat! but it doesn't get around the fact that you are in a public space. people will do things that you often do not like in a public space.

cohost is a public space. you should act, react, and protect yourself accordingly. this is not "a community" and I sure as hell hope you, reader, never think it is

A really big advantage to Cohost that was bandied about by people (myself included) excited to get going around here was "now I can post what I want without worrying about some weirdo coming after me."

The reality is that everyone's a weirdo and everyone has different takes and feels various levels of audacity from the above toward expressing their weirdo takes.

Cultural and structural work here puts everyone at very low to minimum risk of being harassed by your textbook villains.

That doesn't mean that everyone's your friend or agrees with you or is responsible for holding any benefit of the doubt. You're not protected from someone paragliding into your replies to weaponize the worst faith interpretations of your post into their own agenda.

Cohost is a cool space that I like a lot but everyone's allowed to be weirdos here. When you make a loud public broadcast, it's not that shocking I guess that someone who you didn't expect or intend to hear it might respond rudely.
