The catacombs generator is coming along smoothly. Added some more rooms, weighted the RNG so less dead-end rooms generate, and started work on lighting (though candles don't add much) #gamedev #indiedev
There's a lot more verticality now since elevators are weighted higher too. Still using a lot of testing rooms that don't have materials set up well though.
Reminder that being left-handed means dealing with daily little bits of bullshit like Bluetooth phone/headphones combos that have lots of interference if the phone is in your left pocket ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I finally got around to frame that awesome poster I got with my copy of “The Bitmap Brothers: Universe”!
Pro tip: if you can’t find any dark hot chocolate, or you’re out of it, you can get those common ones and mix them to your liking!
There are only a few hours left on the DoubleSix Dice Kickstarter. I have a bag of the first generation ones, and I really like them! If you use D6’s, get some now! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattfleming/doublesix-dice-generation-two
Nature is gross. Two flies are currently having sex on my shoe.

New T-shirt! Any grognards around to recognize what that is? 😋
I love my iPad Pro, I love most of the apps I have installed on it, but iOS is a constant disappointment. Every time Apple fixes something, they make 2 other things worse. I’m really hoping for a serious shake-up at WWDC.

This is something I have been working toward, alongside many others, during my entire career at Unity.
It took a lot of "hack weeks," 20% time, and other donated time to get off the ground; it came within a hair's breadth of being terminated multiple times.
We fought to keep it alive, to get it onto the release track, to keep it from being shipped with special license restrictions.
It's great to finally see our work having a public impact.
