My 3d retro world map will be populated with 2d sprites. I'm getting the normal vector for each triangle in the world to check if it's flat enough to place something on. Right now, it's just trees in flat grass areas. Eventually it'll be dungeons, towns, etc. #gamedev

More work on my retro procedural world generator. Added sandy beaches and better water. The shader for that could use more work to make it fit the retro vibe. Changed the orthographic camera to be at a 45 degree angle so you can see around mountains better.

Started working on another procedural generation project. The ortholinear camera and low-poly plane makes for such a cool aesthetic. #gamedev

Now you can explore the dungeon with your friends! I'm doing this through a pretty simple pub/sub system; every chunk in the dungeon is treated like a topic. This whole project is really just an excuse to learn, we'll see if I get around to adding any "game" to this game lol #gamedev

If there was one game in #UFO50 I would nominate for a full sequel, it would be Party House. It's a deck building game, though it took me a bit to figure that out lol

Is anyone out there developing a full project like this? #indiegames

Alright, I've zoomed everything up and made a "camera" to follow the player. Doing this in React instead of a proper game engine makes this sort of thing a bit more of a challenge.

Infinite dungeon generation with a teeny tiny player character. Might have to make this guy bigger. #gamedev

UFO 50 games feel authentically retro, while still benefiting from 40 or so years of lessons on game design. I've only played a few and have a couple dozen hours already. It's the best indie game I've played since Balatro. #indiegames

Update on my online Rogue-Like:
My Go back-end is generating a dungeon layout and sending it to the front-end as JSON. Then, I'm rendering it with PixiJS! Very happy with the result so far. #gamedev #roguelike

Decided today I'd like to make an online multiplayer Rogue-Like. Back-end will be Go. Here's the beginnings of my dungeon generation! #roguelike #gamedev

For #AdventOfCode day 3 I used a pretty simple regex in part 1.

In part 2 I added a few "preprocessing" steps:

1. Concat the lines into one
2. Split the line on "do()"
3. For each line, cut off every "don't()" and anything past it
4. Use the same regex to sum as before
5. Profit
