That’s a bit less than I expected. I’ve seen fuel price fluctuating by this percentage in a market conditions of Norway, Latvia and Canada.

Is that the pressure from the government that holds the price?

I didn't know until now that backerkit has an overdrive mode, when it keeps campaign active for 10 more minutes after the last pledge. That's a cool feature in my opinion! So here's the link for a Cypher campaign currently in the overdrive mode: mymcg.info/cypher

With that said our previous game jam entry (apoly.itch.io/derelict) will probably be rewritten to eecs + edat, so I can test some of the edge cases before jam starts.

We're going to participate of course and that will be a good test case for eecs (github.com/AlexanderPol...) in real game jam scenario.
I've also finished building an early proof of concept for edat (strongly typed file format with custom parsers), so hopefully I'll open source it soon and use it.

Our community is organizing a jam in the late October: itch.io/jam/dcexjam2...
It's a single genre (dungeon crawlers aka gridders like Eye of the Beholder or early Might and Magic and Wizardry) jam with limited set of assets so participants can just focus on making a game instead of making assets.

There are at least a couple of limiting factors right now. Number of green cards issued per year has a limit, processing of applications is limited by immigration officers too. So this workforce need to grow and limit needs to be increased at least. But how to motivate companies to sponsor GCs?

Alexander Polyakov @nolokor.bsky.social · 27d

It is happening! Finally a chance to get “jam proof” badge for eecs (bsky.app/profile/nolo...). I will definitely not make edat (strongly typed file format and parser) before the jam, but eecs alone should be enough!

I found that if I prop it up just right, with a certain charger, I'm able to charge my laptop.

Anyway, I made an #LDJam post. Letting it juice up some more before I edit other things for the event. Theme Suggestions open.

You mean green cards? Most companies don’t like them as they cost more and are less restrictive I think. And it takes a lot of time to get one right now.

Yep, my ticket was already resolved, thanks! I was unable to do it via a self service, but I guess that’s because I lived (and my account was tied to) a specific country so it had to be done manually.

Even though I feel more confident in my another goal now - open forcing or framework which we’ve used for Derelict, as it’ll be much cleaner with eecs.

Alexander Polyakov @nolokor.bsky.social · Aug 31

My main big thing for this library will be to use it for the next Ludum Dare and see it in action there.

Additional I want to add a serialization library (it’s so much easier when you have less types!) and port apoly.itch.io/derelict from flecs. But it’s a bit more complicated project.

To make sure that it serves any real purpose I ported apoly.itch.io/scampi (Ludum Dare 57) From flecs to eecs.

It was quite straightforward and asa result I get rid of almost all specialized components (only one remains, responsible for player updates).

My main motivation was to make component names be an identifier.

It makes adding any functionality to the game easier as you just add components to your entity and make systems/queries use these new components without registering new types.

float, vec2, int, std::vector is almost all you need!

Finally had some time to work on eecs, which is a simple entity component system library with a primary goal of being easy to use. Initial minimal implementation is public now: github.com/AlexanderPol...

Hey @support.blizzard.com, wanted to try WoW Classic, but have to change an account country to add my CC. My ticket is still in the “opened” state after a day and a half, can somebody take a look please? Would love to see it automated in the future!
