I've been getting into unit tests with Godot recently. It's very satisfying to be able to check all the logic clearly like this. I've not done any code testing in absolutely ages and it feels kind of rare and special within game dev.

I've been working on the tutorial for Chance. I'm very attached to the little mouse already.

A print and play version of Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit can be found socialcredit.schooljotter2.com/resources/so...

It includes some delightful satirical “chance” and “luxury” cards.

From the Economist. Good to hear the billionaire class are pursuing realistic and achievable aims and not betting on the arrival of a super powered omnipotent deity.

I've been playing Lego Harry Potter with my 5yo son and trying to explain (my quite bad recollection of) the plot to him as there's no dialogue in the game.

He's convinced though that the troll is named "Hogwart" and it's his school. I've given up trying to correct him so this is now canon.

I love the slightly wonky single colour “ulcer” cards.

Some delightful character portraits, although somewhat dated in its gender roles.
