for years i've dreamt of having my own tile-based RPG engine that would make lo-fi win95/macOS 9 spiderweb software style games like Realmz or Exile or Avernum

after so much hand-wringing about being unsure about the feasibility of building one from the ground up (the ground in this case being the love2d framework), i started yesterday. a couple hours later i've got the beginnings of a 2d tile editor. scrolling tiles, random terrain generation, drag and drop all work.

this is something that took me months to mould AGS into doing using a bunch of hacks and various script modules. there is no doubt now that i was trying to build a house by swinging a screwdriver at nails.

there's this theme in game development i've heard over and over: "if you want to make a game, never ever build your own engine." i've even given people that advice over the years. and after 12+ years of doing this stuff, i realize that i gave some terrible advice.

AMD has said that they'll be open sourcing more of their software stack and documentation in the future. Now "open source" can be a vague term. The license matters. Time will tell if they follow through. I know it won't satisfy all but more of their stuff being FOSS is better than less.

NEW Article - Debt From Above: The Carbon Credit Coup

Latin America is quietly being forced into a carbon market scheme through regional contractual obligations – enforced by the satellites of a US intelligence-linked firm – which seeks to create an inter-continental "smart grid,” erode national and local sovereignty, and link carbon-based life to the debt-based monetary system via a Bitcoin sidechain.

@RapistGoku While I can't guarantee that these brands are 100% non-toxic, you should probably look into these.

Okay, here is what I've been working on so far. I'm trying a different client this time. It's a roguelite dungeon crawler with Zelda-like elements. The game is written in C++ using the SFML framework.

If you want more frequent updates, I'm also on the Fediverse, which I'm more active on.
