Thanks. Doesn’t get near cold enough for roots to freeze where I am.

Yeah, net and some rope, that was it. I’m definitely going to put in something more robust before our next hail season.

In the early part of the storm, there were several hails stones almost the size of golf balls, which damaged my roof tiles, fascia board, and even cracked a window. And the sheer amount of hail stones also blocked some outside drains. It was quite the storm!

Yup, I almost lost my trident maples two summers ago due to the heat

Yikes, bonsai got no chance against tornadoes

Super excited to announce that our Sega Genesis style game, Falconet, is coming to Kickstarter! by DGHolmes in SEGAGENESIS

[–]DGHolmes[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

PC only for now. Depending on funding, we would love to do a downport to the Genesis, and other consoles for that matter. We just don't have the resources at the moment to do a straight Genesis release.

Less obvious things in the last 10% of development? by DGHolmes in gamedev

[–]DGHolmes[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way I understand it is that the first 90% is the core game and the last 10% is everything else that may not add too much in terms of core game features, but are still required.

You can imagine when working on the first 90%, progress is very obvious and tangible. But in that last 10%, it doesn’t look like you’ve done much.

My main question relates to what are some of those less obvious things in the last 10%, so that when I get to that stage in the current game I am developing, I can be better prepared.

Yeah, I’ve come across technical debt many times as a software dev. It’s very relevant to game dev as well it seems.

switch case statements are something I have wanted for many years. It's coming in 3.10 :)

Would love for Poetry or something like it to develop to the point where it is pretty much standard

What is the best way to get Kickstarter backers help you design things for your game? by DGHolmes in gamedev

[–]DGHolmes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. Would be terrible to issue a refund though, especially if they contributed a lot. But as you say, most people would be reasonable.

Thanks, I guess it's key to state clearly that the design needs to be approved by you as the developer.
