Someone wishing for a brighter tomorrow. And tacos for dinner. I think that last part I can make happen.
BTW, I do not just randomly add stuff to my game architecture. Everything I add has a purpose for the game I am working on. My latest addition of an NPC Retreat state is needed for some ghostly apparitions I will be adding soon.

I've finished adding a new Retreating state for NPCs. Possible states now include Patrolling, Waiting, Chasing, Attacking, Wandering, and Retreating.

I need to add one more dev support feature in game: invulnerability+free camera mode. It's really hard to monitor game events only from constrained character perspective. I need to be able to fly above without dying to monitor and then adjust how events unfold. #GameDev #IndieDev

Loving this new script I created. Instead of having to go out to my logging system config to change levels, now I can set up groups and change the levels from the inspector (script attached to my main DDOL game object). I like this so much better. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

Anyone have thoughts on #Vizz for #Presbyopia ? I'm surprised it isn't bigger news, considering it affects hundreds of millions of people and dealing with reading glasses/alternate prescriptions/bifocals is a massive annoyance. Curious what it costs. I'm wary of it but like the idea. #Vision

That a Reagan judge would give up his lifetime appointment willingly because he feels a future GOP president has rendered that appointment meaningless in the midst of an authoritarian speedrun is quite remarkable:

Anyone have any good resources for iframe embedded Youtube videos showing Error 153? Seems to be a fairly new phenomenon and the fixes people discuss seem very inconsistent as to whether they work or not. I have this issue and tried some fixes without success. #Youtube #Web #WebDevelopment

Been seeing this font error lately in Unity 6 (seen in 6000.0.58f2 but never saw it in 6000.0.32f1). Had to update to .58f2 due to security patch. Has workaround noted in thread though, so not a critical problem. #Unity3D #GameDev #IndieDev discussions.unity.com/t/unityexcep...

If you are into such phenomena, like "The Dress", and the Laurel/Yanny thing, I've encountered a new audio one. Find the Mini PEKKA "Pancakes" audio. Some people hear "pancakes". Others hear something else. To me, it sounds nothing like "pancakes" (not even remotely close). #Illusions #TheDress

Trying out Unity PostProcessScene to auto-configure objects between several pre-defined rigidbody configurations. Add just my pre-defined UnifiedRigidbodyScript to an object and the post processor will pick it up and handle generic config. Can be overridden as needed. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

Just learned about pyrex vs PYREX. I got rid of all Anchor Hocking after one of their measuring cups exploded cutting me severely when I was moving it from a dishwasher to cabinet. But now I'm concerned any lower case pyrex may do the same. Thoughts? #Cooking #Baking #Pyrex

I'm seeing Radeon 9070s as low as $560 right now (PowerColor Hellhound on Newegg, which is a nice looking card), so looks like 9070 prices have come back down to anyone who is interested. 9070 XT prices look to be breaking as well, though maybe not as much as 9070 yet.

This weekends work includes a new model highlight effect that pulses, a new editor tool overlay to assist in placing lines of objects, and a few bug fixes. You can see a bunny being highlighted in the screenshot. Color and pulse rate configurable. #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D

Things seem simpler than they are in practice. I initially paused all sound while in menu. But sound helps if the player is in settings and adjusting sound levels. To address this, I turn sound back on while in settings. Pun intended meaning, it's never as simple as it sounds. #GameDev #IndieDev
