The step in between is "write codegen to output the JSON serialization code automatically", followed by twenty more steps of "why isn't the codegen working?!" 😌
Generated C++ code in SuccuDeck for the card data model shows different values being loaded depending on the mode: Static, Saves, or Replication.

If you're using Visual Studio, you should install the (free!) Smart Command Line Arguments extension. It allows you to enable or disable options with checkboxes and even radio buttons without having to dig through the goddamn project settings every time you want to do some testing 😌
An elaborate hierarchy of command-line options for SuccuDeck displays many folders, checkboxes, and radio buttons.

Last week, I fixed a longstanding issue in SuccuDeck where card scripts of the same type were actually *sharing their variables* between instances, causing incredibly hard-to-debug "phantom" issues 😱

Oh, and I guess I made more content 😝

SuccuDeck 1.0.0 build 397 - 65 commits since Monday, November 17th Cool Stuff 💡 Added a new WIP character rigged with Spine (thanks Emily!) Dazed is now a status effect that halves an opponent's damage and triggers when a body part becomes Exposed Improved assigning random weaknesses by shuffling a list of options Added three phases to the first boss battle and removed Scramble as a reaction Added a threat indicator and battles from 1 to 5 stars Bugfixes 🐞 Fixed a crash when loading directly into a battle without a deck Fixed a crash when forcing a battle to end while a debug player window is open Fixed an issue where body parts were displayed in the wrong order after the first battle Fixed variables being shared between scripts of the same type, causing many weird scripting issues Fixed many crashes in the battle scripts Fixed status effects being removed before a body part is defeated, causing the part to remain alive because bonuses aren't applied Fixed opponent not discarding actions correctly Brainworms 🪱 Updated Stylelint to 16.25.0 Updated inkcpp to 0.1.9 Added banner controls to the battle debug window Cleaned up selecting a battle scenario Minion now removes temp files generated by Live++ Added a brain log to the battle player window Weaknesses are now assigned through battle scripts Battle scripts are no longer counted for the total word count Improved logging for stories and Ink bindings Fixed not being able to remove collapsed debug separators Sort backgrounds in the picker dialog alphabetically Fixed not being able to create Quick scenarios Massively simplified the actor picker widget Added actor preview to widget Avoid logspam in the stage actor Debug text is wrapped automatically Cityscape victims are split into deck and hand

Yesterday, I played Songs of Silence and thought, damn, I wish I could spice up my layouts like that...
A screenshot of the victory screen in Songs of Silence shows key art in the middle flanked by two tables with information on either side. It's all very pretty.

They're right 😌
Any digital noise or random signal would work to jam the navigation system, but Night Watch wanted to use the song because they think it’s funny. “We just send a song…we just make it into binary code, you know, like 010101, and just send it to the Russian navigation system,” Night Watch said. “It’s just kind of a joke. [Bandera] is a Ukrainian nationalist and Russia tries to use this person in their propaganda to say all Ukrainians are Nazis. They always try to scare the Russian people that Ukrainians are, culturally, all the same as Bandera.”

I still need to figure out the actual progression mechanic, but SuccuDeck's cityscape now features a "deck" from which victims are drawn, each with their own battle behavior 😊

#IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #WLCG
A screenshot of SuccuDeck with debug windows open shows a battle with a Commuter highlighted, which has a threat level of 4/5. The battle is against a woman in a cheerleader outfit, and features the stripclub exterior as a background.

To put it in perspective, the Nazi bar is only slightly more popular than one of the lesser known Chinese social media
A graph by Statista shows that X, The Everything App has 557 million active users compared to QQ's 532 million. Facebook has 3.1 billion, and Instagram has 3.0 billion, by the way.

This could be you 😌
A comic book page featuring a fan and an author: Fan: I GOTTA SAY, MAN... I'M AMAZED AT HOW YOU GET THESE THINGS OUT ON A MONTHLY BASIS. IT SEEMS LIKE SO MUCH WORK TO DO IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME... AND YOU'RE NEVER LATE. Author: ACTUALLY, A LOT OF TIMES... I'LL JUST REUSE ART THAT I'VE ALREADY DONE OVER AND OVER. IT'S GOOD FOR PRAMATIC PAUSES AND WHEN STUFF DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE MUCH FROM PANEL TO PANEL. MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN NOTICE. The same panel is shown three times. Fan: DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S KINDA CHEAP? The same reaction panel is shown three times. Author: NOT REALLY.

Once again, my artist Emily has been banned from Bluesky. Neither of us have any clue what she did wrong. All she did was post her own (human) art and occasionally ask if people were interested in commissioning her 🥲

There is an unbelievable amount of power in making your own debug tools as a solo dev 💪

Remember when Biden was based
Newsweek article from 2019: In a video posted by Turning Point USA founderCharlie Kirk, an unseen woman tells the former vice president she is an Iowa college student. She then asks him how many genders there are. "There are at least three," Biden, 76, can be heard saying. The woman then asks him to name them.

A UTF-8 encoded string being interpreted as Latin-1 is very Citizen Sleeper-coded, but I don't think it was an intentional detail 🥲 (ý = C3 BD in Latin-1 encoded bytes, but ý in UTF-8. "MEV Rýgr" makes more sense lorewise)
A screenshot of a dialog in Citizen Sleeper 2 shows the line: "Not your Rig, obviously, but a rig. Or an 'MEV Rýgr Class', as the plague on the base tells you."

I was looking for a stupid meme picture when I noticed something strange. The first image is copied from Google search results. The second image is taken directly from the source on Reddit 🦷
