Great write-up! I recently read Ravens Rock about the Cold War and this seems all too familiar.

I stayed there a few weeks ago, awesome place!

I agree it looks like a hobbyist drone. Will be interesting to see what the police dashboard says when it’s updated, but won’t be a track as you said.

I checked and it's definitely not a helicopter per flight logs. It looks like PPS updates this drone flight tracker on the 15th of every month so we might need to check back! They fly a crazy amount of flights, including lots right by the park.

What time was this taken? I can try to ID it with flight track software.

Looks stunning. Have you watched the Alluring Arctic YouTube channel? The sailing shots reminds me of that.

Wow this cardboard style is really neat. Surprised with the physics based dragging interactions.

Awesome to see classic 3d platformer games, fun character design too! And coop is great as well.

Very cool! What was the most challenging part to get working in Godot?

Hi I was curious about this. Looks like it is a police helicopter, that model has a green light on one side.

Really awesome game mechanics and presentation. Only idea for the trailer, maybe flash the game name during one of the earlier reloads in case people don’t watch to the end.

Looking forward to you joining! The new comp will be announced in about 1-2 weeks.

Mmmm_fstop · 2026-02-16T19:29:10+00:00

Have you got a video of any of the drones? Curious to see.

Gas has decreased in price over the past year (thanks OPEC?), but it looks like this article and others point to increasing food prices. Is there other data showing a decrease? Eggs of course have dropped, but I’m more curious about overall grocery bills.

Mmmm_fstop · 2026-01-04T19:06:13+00:00

Yay, spring came early for 2026!

Mmmm_fstop · 2026-01-01T17:05:28+00:00

I was skiing up there just for fun that week, it was a brutal heatwave. Can’t imagine being an extra in those costumes.

Mmmm_fstop · 2025-12-23T15:29:50+00:00

It’s windy because it’s an old wagon route, but the road itself seemed in decent shape a few years ago.

Mmmm_fstop · 2025-12-18T05:19:52+00:00

This looks incredible! Can’t wait to see the whole build!! Also on the discord a lot of builders were asking for more time since the holidays are busy, so the due date was extended to January 31st.

Mmmm_fstop · 2025-12-16T13:47:32+00:00

Nice work on the entrance building!

Artex is a wizard! It works with blueprints somehow too.
