My first thought when making a solo mode for a chess-like game was "What's the point? How could you ever simulate a meaningful game of chess without simply doing chess puzzles?"
Then I had the idea to make it sort of like a top-down arcade shooter... no, stay with me... 😅

Orienting a RigidBody with precision timing requires something beyond a naïve "accelerate-towards-target" method. Here's a slow-motion comparison between the naïve method vs. what I call the "Akira slide". Green line indicates acceleration.

Making Penguin Festival's VR gameplay trailer was really challenging, but also fun and rewarding. Here's a little postmortem for my own posterity but also in case anyone else finds it helpful!

Pitching your game to print media? Here’s a thread full of tips!
Always send screenshots in PNG format. JPEG compression blurs sharp edges and creates ugly artefacts that look even worse once printed at 300 DPI.
Where possible, submit your screenshots at 4K resolution. Or native res for pixel art.

This is a solid roundup of the ways Winnipeg is making progress. We can always wish these changes were faster but the fact they're happening at all makes me excited for the city's future
My column today: From residential zoning policy to trees, transit, Portage and Main and others, the summer 2025 was a season of urbanist change in Winnipeg. Some with immediate impact, some with impact in the future, and some are still a work in progress. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
Opinion: 2025: a summer of interesting urban changes
Over the last few months, the city has been busy implementing several new progressive city-building initiatives to enhance livability in our communities.
