Google is nearly straight unusable garbage now.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Morning everyone. If you're out there on the road for the holiday, stay safe. When your family inevitably annoys you, tell them I said you could play your games or read your books. 😉

Mom threw my comics in the fireplace.
Became obsessed with creative stuff after.
Got into automotive through tuning with my dad and went that path. Now I do boring stuff at work while I obsess about my indie game all day and get awesome stuff made.

I know these seem crazy but there's a method to my madness. They are invaluable practice runs. Always fun to listen to the actors warm up to the characters.
This time I also found out Ui elements remain visible to the camera if aiming at the npcs location. So had to fix this.

I'll be out of town next week, so if you could get your submissions in sooner rather than later so I don't have a massive backlog when I get back, that'd be awesome! Also, @ any devs you know here to help spread the word!
Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.
