Hi! I'm Evan! A dad who's been modding and making games since the 90s. I've made apps and games for some huge companies but I won't be talking about that here. This place is purely for my poorly thought out personal projects. Also motorcycles!

Saw your talk at GDC!

And they were correct.

It's coming along slowly but steadily. Top is editor view so you can see whats happening. Bottom is game view. I'm still working on the cameras and such to make this cohesive, but you get the idea. Needs easing on everything. Left the [Dev] menu on in the bg.

Sorry for the long absence! My day job has been sucking away my motivation. This contraption is finally in the game though! Still need to finalize the textures and animations, but I'm moving ahead with puzzle logic in the meantime.

Love the idea. I had toyed around with doing something similar with the long gone Mine Train through Natures Wonderland at Disneyland.

I don't think the national guard wants to be there.

Thanks! The tank won't be so bad since I'm going to make it look like it's riveted on and the big seam can go on the bottom where it will never be seen.

Still super busy. Slowly making progress on this contraption though. Once I get all the parts in there I'm going to loosen everything up a bit to give it some character. UVing this is going to be ...fun...

Work has been insane lately. I haven't had the energy to work on my game much at night. I did finally start modeling the last missing puzzle though. It's incomplete, and needs to be relaxed a bit.

Can you guess what this contraption is?

I mean, good?

I've been working on my game for 3 years now. I just got the opening scene locked down a month ago.

That merchant is a real stickler when it comes to union rules. Best to try and stay on his good side!

Looks good. How long did that take?

I wish people were more punctual.

I finally added telemetry to Sierra Gold so I can keep track of how often things are done in the game. I'm now tracking basically everything a player can do including how many input taps the player made and how far the character has walked.

I'm well aware of the James Foley story. There are many countries where you need to be careful, that's been the case for decades. But your post implied that traveling everywhere was dangerous for Americans which isn't true.

I just spent a month in Europe. Literally no one treated me any differently than they have in the past. I've been going for 15 years now.

Stop spreading this bullshit. Travel for Americans is fine. If you're stupid enough to wear a trump T-shirt and talk shit then you get what you deserve.

Rear's back on and now the forks are off for service. The intake valves are pretty tight. No wonder it was hard to start the last few rides. Gonna tackle that this weekend.

And if you follow me for game dev stuff, I'll be back to that soon! Lot's to share.

Back on the trails! And yeah, hopefully no more surprises.

ClutchAbuse @clutchabuse.bsky.social · Jun 17

Swingarm has new bearings. All the other linkage components were ok and have been cleaned and repacked. I need to get the rear brake and wheel back on to finish the rear. Next up, the forks are getting new seals and the intake valves are getting adjusted.

American Father's Day is cool. But German Father's day involves walking through the woods pulling a wagon of beer behind you. When you get back there's bratwurst waiting.

Guess which one I like better.

ClutchAbuse @clutchabuse.bsky.social · Jun 14

You know you're in for a treat when your swing arm bearings come out as mostly dust. I'm pretty sure these are original. Removing the siezed race was surprisingly easy though. Good soak with WD40, and 2 sockets, with some threaded rod did the job.

Been using Kagi for over a year now. It's a breath of fresh air.

70 should be the maximum allowable age in any elected position. If a candidate will turn 70 before their next term would end they should be ineligible to run.
