@BeanJuiceStudio There were no game development schools when I started in the industry 30+ years ago.

So I spent a bit of time optimizing the IRQ handler and the Arkos tracker routine, then I ran the profiler before and after, then compared the frame time. Gain is about 5% of frame time :) Oric data science! 😅 Next step, identify and kill the spikes.

I was joking with a colleague the other day about my Oric game, saying that it may sell for years and years, because it's looking as retro as it will ever been, it can't ever end up looking more retro😅

Metal Slug turned 30 this year. It has aged incredibly gracefully; and I think the main reason is its pixel graphic style. Unlike early 90s vector graphics, ray tracing, or hyper-realistic styles, pixel art ages much better. You could release Metal Slug today as an arcade game

@sysxplore Funny, yesterday I was trying to find some documentation in a drawer, and at the bottom was a Ubuntu 6 in a cardboard sleeve, probably distributed in a magazine back then.

@therealh0ffman It's a pure Win32 dialog.

Software has a natural tendency to get more complex over time, specially if you listen to all the user requests. I can't say I'm particularly proud of the interface of that tool, but it's been doing its job (mostly) for about 8 years now, with very little maintenance needs. 😅

Ok, I did not realize it had been that long since I last made a serious Oric entry, "Oric Tech" was in 2015 and "ZeroFx" was in 2014, that's a decade ago!!! 😱

@LikeToBeBossy As long as you can point out things you don't like and why you don't like them, that's useful and actionable feedback. "I don't like it" has some value, but it's does not help knowing what the problem is.

@eeuoss @rfleury There are many people who use the debugger by default to trace their code to have an inside view of how the application behaves. I systematically trace all my new code (and I also have logs, tests, yada yada, ...). A different view of the problem gives different information.

I'm using something similar for PictConv, I've generated a list of md5 of the converted images, saved in the revision control system, and when I make a new version I can regenerate this list and compare it with the existing one. github.com/Oric-Software-…

been trying something new I have all my layouts as unit tests, but I also have them as real displays using raylib and writing out. I take all those images and save them to disk as "goldens" when I believe they are correct. Now i can 1. watch them all for visual sanity 2.

The demo is crashing on displaying a crash screen. Poetic justice 101!

@leonard_coder It's a help tool to manage Conan Exiles game servers: Fetch versions from Steam, mods, update checks, auto-restart, sending messages on discord, setting process priority/affinity, checking if port forwarding is working properly, etc... forums.funcom.com/t/conan-exiles…

Just found an original "Buggy Boy" on the local market, it's one of the few very good Atari ST adaptations from the arcade: The game looks good, sounds good, plays good! Recommended!

I had considered (briefly) adding a save system to Encounter, but reached the conclusion that would not bring any real benefit at all: The game is short and encourages experimentation, the cost of failure is not huge, a load/save system would just a be "another feature".

My hottest gaming take is that I actually dislike PC game save systems where you can just save/load wherever and whenever. It feels sort of like the equivalent of leaving a debug feature in a game, except it’s extremely normalized

@mwesterdahl76 When you install my game from Steam, you need 17 megabytes of storage, way above your recommended 5mb! 😅

@dubeg_ @nafonsopt Well, putting aside it grew up organically and that there are tabs for the logs, some users actually like this tool specifically because there are no sub options anywhere, it's all visible at once as a dashboard. That also make support much easier: Just share a screenshot.
