At a c++ standards roundtable tonight. C++ contracts offer an interesting way of building in correctness to our programs. Will be interesting to try out. As a #gamedev, and #gameengine dev in particular, I am wondering about possible impacts on performance. #cpp #cpp26 #meetup

Please add me. I love linux and it is one of my primary dev platforms. As a consequence #Fugl also has a native linux version store.steampowered.com/app/643810/F...

Haha, actually it was a Halloween level that didn't make the cut. A swamp. Here is video version of it

I guess it depends on your definition of new and upcoming:). #Fugl has been in early access since 2017, but we have recently gained some traction and ate hoping to exit EA early next year

No sure how awesome I am, but we are currently working on gerting #Fugl ready for the full release

Our game Fugl is out for the Oculus Rift (www.meta.com/en-gb/experi...) . We are also working adding a VR version for steam. store.steampowered.com/app/643810/F... . I'd be grateful if I could be added to your list.

Hanging out at the AI & Games conference today. Though I am doing a #PhD at Goldsmiths, I rarely find an excuse to travel in. Its good to be back. Please feel free to come and say hi if you see me #gamedev #gamesai

Found my way into a BAFTA Masterclass on 17 years of Assassin's Creed. Feel like I have been kind of withdrawn from the #gamedev scene for too long now #bafta

Just saw this poster in a cafe in #Hackney. If I was able to vote in the #GeneralElection, Diane Abbot would be my only reason for voting Labour.

Fixed the possible overflow in the audio device name for #Fugl by moving the sound menu to the right. Guess it is still possible to generate an overflow with a non-default audio device on #steamdeck. Resubmitted the fix to

Got #Fugl launching on the steamdeck without the in-game launcher. Turns out execl, which we used to spawn the game, crashes on the steamdeck. Fugl is now rated Playable on Deck, but not Verified, because of the possible overflow in the audio device name shown here #indielife #steamdeck

Did you notice the music in #Fugl and how it often blends seamlessly with the naturalistic soundscape? Great work by
Martin Kvale and Joar Renolen . The standalone soundtrack is launching soon! #indiedev #indiegames #indielife #soundtrack

New #Fugl update is live! store.steampowered.com/news/app/643... . This is mostly a technical update focusing on the machinery under the hood, making sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened and stay in place! #indiedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #indielife
