For this #ScreenshotSaturday and #gamedev period, I started on the networking side of multiplayer support in my game engine. Things are held together with duct tape and paperclips right now, but I've got a path forward now to implement full Quake-like networking.
I realized I’ve never tried drawing a Vortigaunt.

For this #ScreenShotSaturday, I laid the foundation for multiplayer support in my game engine. I've rigged up the ability for multiple players, and to spawn computer-controlled players whose inputs are derived from demo files. This let me test things before I had the network transport in place.

I got some game dev time in this weekend to add env_fade entities and the title card sequence for Half-Life. I built a config system to inject entities into a map based on its name, in order to bridge gaps between my engine and GoldSrc. I'm really happy with how this turned out! #ScreenShotSaturday

Desert Angels had a great showing at #SIX2025 ! To celebrate, here's an inside look at "Dance of the Stars", a music track that plays later in the game in a moment of reminiscing.

As a treat for hitting a milestone on the UI framework last #ScreenshotSaturday, I decided to add support for crossbows. #GameDev

This time for #ScreenshotSaturday, I've got a #GameDev post showing off my new console window. This means I can finally stop working on the UI framework for my engine (for now)! Onto developing the tools that set me down this rabbit hole.

A late #ScreenshotSaturday and #GameDev post, it's been awhile! While investigating a bug, I decided to write some tools and ended up down the subterranean rabbit hole that is UI frameworks... Of course I decided to write my own as part of my engine. Here's a quick video showing off the progress:

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

An outspoken vaccine conspiracy theorist just fired every last member of CDC's vaccine advisory committee.
RFK Jr. is paving the way to reshape vaccine policy based not on decades of science, but on his own unhinged fanaticism.
This is unprecedented, and unthinkably dangerous.

A #ScreenshotSaturday and #GameDev post for what I got done during the long weekend. I've continued to flesh out trains, and now you can properly ride them! Here's the beginning of Half-Life (c0a0) in my engine:

A late #ScreenshotSaturday post, but this weekend I squeezed in more #GameDev time. This time around I've focused on implementing more entities to get Half-Life's c0a0 up and running. I implemented the idle animation usage of scripted_sequence and func_tracktrain.

Another quick #GameDev and #ScreenshotSaturday post. I've gotten a start on implementing ladder entities, as well as map load triggers. Here's going up a ladder in c1a0e:

Finally found some time for #GameDev work and another #ScreenshotSaturday post. I've been refining and refactoring NPC movement. The biggest visual change is that animations are now tied to real speed of the NPC.

A late #GameDev and #ScreenshotSaturday post. This weekend I started wiring up NPC collisions. NPCs will now stop moving when they collide with something and start moving again when they're able to. In the future I'd like to tie the NPC's speed to their animation, so they aren't walking in place.
