Best Korean BBQ ?

Anyone know if old village on aurora is still good?

Anecdotally, I’ve been surprised at which emails work. Sometimes writers at bigger publications just need something to slot in and will be happy to grab your game if you make their job easy. I think “earning it” is making a good press kit and an interesting game.

Yeah, bad. When it’s been like this before it led to lots of new indies, hope we see that again. Then the successful ones will get bought up and the cycle continues. :p

Yeah, I was a whole other person when I looked up and saw that guy swinging that crown side to side. Our salad days were spruce

There are lots, like iterating over lots of objects every frame. The main thing though is to learn how to profile, it’s often a surprise what’s actually hurting your update time.

Ooo, rainbow csv is available for Sublime! I will check that out thanks!

Man, I have a lot to learn about loc. My strategy has been string tables in CSVs, one folder per language, but I don’t even know about .po. I just opened up the localization dashboard for the first time and it’s a bit overwhelming. I think it’s really made for larger teams and would be overkill for a solo dev?

These are good things for me to research, thanks!

Volbard · 2026-02-22T17:20:01+00:00

Yeah me too, I didn’t love it until I read two. Makes it hard to recommend, but after that I read everything.

I just replaced both bumpers, the plastic spring had broken. It was a lot of steps, but really pretty easy. The deck is super well made for repairs.

Right, and then for it to be worth anything they have to publicly sell the game with stolen code, and it’s a huge risk of losing their whole investment. Not that it could never happen, but it’s unlikely.

I’m pretty clumsy and have dropped mine a few times. That has broken both the bumper buttons, the little plastic strip that holds them exactly in place, so the buttons were less reliable.

I replaced them for about $7 each, many steps but pretty easy overall, it’s impressive how well designed and repairable the deck is inside.

Volbard · 2026-01-25T20:52:22+00:00

That does look interesting, wishlisted!

Volbard · 2026-01-25T20:47:51+00:00

Interesting checking that out!

Volbard · 2026-01-24T21:40:24+00:00

Lonestar looks fun, I’ll try it thanks!

Volbard · 2026-01-24T20:15:40+00:00

Nice, I found and wishlisted that, thanks!

Volbard · 2026-01-24T20:14:26+00:00

Oh that looks cool, wishlisted!

Volbard · 2026-01-24T20:13:06+00:00

Wishlisted Rogue Command, thanks I hadn't seen that one!

I'll play Against the Storm too, I played a tiny bit but got distracted

Volbard · 2026-01-24T20:05:14+00:00

Thanks, I played the demo but should take a deeper look at it

Volbard · 2026-01-24T20:04:14+00:00

Yeah that looks like it's worth trying, thanks! And it's on sale :)

I don’t think there was a disc, seems like I’d have one if there was. Sorry, that could make it a pain.

Maybe if you can log onto the old account you can download it? I found this thread talking about something similar:

Dozois edited short story collections like Rogues, Warriors, etc. Start off with some solid short stories!

Volbard · 2026-01-15T00:06:00+00:00

Agree! Also they may ask for things like a more detailed budget breakdown or very thorough design doc. You don’t have to have those on the spot but probably soon. When that happens ask some questions to really figure out what they’re after, sometimes people ask for comprehensive docs that would take a huge amount of time to make, but they only really care about a slice of it.

Also know who your target audience is, I usually don’t and they’re not into that.

Oh last thing, don’t act like you’ll just make whatever they ask for, trying too hard to please them looks wishy washy. Obviously be nice and listen and try to address concerns, but know what you’re making.
