I create Free and Open Source games with zero ads and zero tracking since 2018.

Currently working on @99managers.org

My goal is to make the gaming world a bit more free, one game at a time.

I love refactoring huge unorganized chunks of code. The feeling afterwards is priceless.

While trying alternative web browsers, like Falkon and Konqueror, I was wondering why no ads where visible, even without any ad blocker installed.

Turns out my pi-hole DNS ad blocking works! I totally forgot about that.

I feel really dumb now.

v0.5.4 is brings a lot of improvements to transfers and match engine, once again. Now you can negotiate contracts with players and it is not possible to easily buy the best players.

Godot uses 64-bit integers, so the max value is 2^63 - 1, bu the RandomNumberGenerator uses 32-bit integers, where the max value is 2^31 - 1.

Keep this in mind while generating big random int numbers.

My game @99managers.org participates for the first time at Games in Italy Steam sale!

I did not know that games like Ride, MotoGP and Sebastian Loebb Rally are made in Italy, cool!

I started my blog because I wanted to share my work and have a personal presence on the web, that is truly mine and not dependent on some social media or similar. Now nearly 3 years later I wrote 37 blog posts and I love it!

Big news!

Transfer are now working much better and I hope most issues are resolved. I also just found a new technique to move the ball around the field, making the match engine much easier to implement.

The next update will be great and is planned for next week.

Somehow I released v0.4.2 on Steam two days ago instead of v0.5.2. I guess I miss-clicked something during the release process.

Now v0.5.2 is released for real.

Sorry for the mistake!

Back home after #GodotFest in Munich!

It was great to meet old and new friends, business contacts, and #GodotEngine developers of legend ✨

Good job to the orga team, all the volunteers and the speakers for a well-rounded event!

The first update after the Early Access release brings some urgent fixes to the match engine. Now all players play correctly the second half and don't shoot own goals, sorry for that :-)

Our stable branch for #Godot 3 users was due an update for new platform requirements, so here is 3.6.2-stable!

This is particularly relevant if you have games published on Android and iOS.
But we also recommended upgrading from earlier 3.5.x or 3.6.x releases for all other platforms. #GodotEngine
Maintenance release: Godot 3.6.2 – Godot Engine
Although we fixed many of the major 3.6 bugs in Godot 3.6.1 in June, we have decided to make a new 3.6 point release in order to keep up to date with platform requirements.
