Progress is mainly refractoring junk code, moving stuff around to sensible locations and my favourite, deleting stuff :-)

The idea rattling round in my head is Robotron meets Ancipital.

Working on the entities.
SPLEENWEEVIL contains a bunch of hacky, quickly thrown together, 'my first Godot project' code.
And I've been fighting Godot since the beginning, trying to remain out of the editor and in Visual Studio as much as possible...

One is a fast paced boomer shooter with metroidvania tendencies,the other a vaporwave flavoured lo-fi take on pinball

If anyone in the universe is out there that uses things like mixamo, I would love some feedback on this new open source project I have been working on built with #threejs mesh2motion.org

For a bit of research, installed latest Unreal 5 and Unity 6

FPS starter kit in Unreal, really terrible perf for me. Tragically slow load times.

Unity, initial install failed validation. FPS sample, crashed first time loading. Created a VFX graph. The gradient colour picker just keeps disappearing

Doing bits on #ERROR_PROTOCOL over the weekend.
*Slowly* morphing from SPLEENWEEVIL into it's own thing.

I wonder if I'll sort out all the // TODO, // HACK and // FIXME

Writing your own 'engine' is a ton of work. I love the gameplay code but collisions, physics, rendering is such a time sink!

I'm going to pivot to @godotengine.org again for the new thing.

#ERROR_PROTOCOL is going to be an FPS, building on what I learnt writing #SPLEENWEEVIL
