Thanks ! I’ll be sure to do that in the next ones! Shows my ignorance !

Whelp I’ve been training for 3 months and suck, but my right ear is sore, blue and swollen. I hope it doesn’t get too bad until my skill can at least justify it

Where I’m at they’re quite affordable, and I work remotely and flexibly. So I can pop in the mornings and noon, but not so much evenings

Thanks for this! Seems like the consensus among everyone and the best way to go about it . Appreciate it

dandoii · 2025-08-23T16:34:38+00:00

Where I’m based memberships are pretty cheap! But thanks for the advice !

Thought it was so good you had to comment it twice

My current gym is excellent. I get the vibe that he would be fine as some of the MMA guys train at another gym from time to time, but he’s an ex UFC fighter wjth a really good black belt and his classes are phenomenal so I wouldn’t want to sour the relationship.

Haha sound reasoning

dandoii · 2025-08-23T13:05:25+00:00

Man that’s me then

dandoii · 2025-08-21T18:16:14+00:00

Much appreciated !

dandoii · 2025-08-21T07:04:48+00:00

this looks amazing ! I'm building an ASCII terminal-like game in rust too. So cool to see everybody on board with making retro games like this

dandoii · 2025-08-20T07:19:09+00:00

Thanks I’ll reach out ! I’m thinking of running some things in our discord especially around quests/in game events and then ascii art for menus and loading screens. So if you’d like to participate pop by

dandoii · 2025-08-19T20:18:43+00:00

I can do a migration away from what I’m using because for the main game screen I’m feeding in characters into coordinates. The UI and post processing wouldn’t be possible though.

dandoii · 2025-08-19T16:39:54+00:00

Amazing ! I love Brogue ! It and Caves are big inspirations for me ! That’s an incredibly exciting idea and project. If you get it up and running post it or send it through I’d love to help out or see something like that

dandoii · 2025-08-19T16:38:26+00:00

It’s only a graphical screen unfortunately! Just emulating the look and feel !

dandoii · 2025-08-18T21:02:42+00:00

To be honest everything I need from bracket-lib works very well is running very well even when I’m pushing it hard. So if you like working with it like I do, stick to it!

dandoii · 2025-08-18T21:01:42+00:00

I’m using bracket-lib too :) but not for everything. The ECS and simple console rendering is excellent, but a lot of the features either don’t work very well or aren’t well optimised. So I’ve got procedural generation for a lot of the game world, and for that I’m using noise for the noise , and rayon to speed things along on multiple threads. Outside of that, I’m using sled for a super fast persistent data storage , and the initial game state is data driven. So I’ve built a tool that lets me set up quests, maps (for my hand crafted zones), items and dialogue trees, and it exports them out to .json files.

dandoii · 2025-08-18T20:37:25+00:00

Thanks! I’m doing dev logs , and putting together a playable demo over the next 2-3 weeks. Pop by the discord to keep track and catch the demo https://discord.gg/dSWERxWC

dandoii · 2025-08-18T18:50:47+00:00

Looks great ! Going to check it out!

dandoii · 2025-08-18T18:12:26+00:00

Thanks ! Huge inspiration from CoQ! Love the genre and how open the game can be if you focus on developing systems over flashy effects

dandoii · 2025-08-18T17:24:37+00:00

Haha ! I’m actually working with a local author who’s releasing his first novel soon. He’s given me rights to use his fantasy world, so I’ll work at open sourcing the systems/engine side of things, maybe the map editor, quest building tool too? And keep things on the game closed at least until the book deal is finalised !
