It seems that tvOS apps are allowed to require a game controller now..? When was this changed? I'm pretty sure there was a big fuzz about having to support the Siri remote, which is bollocks for any game more sofisticated than Crossy Road.
Cool, I got Sling Ming up and running on my nVidia ShieldTV. 60 fps on a big screen with a nice controller, that's console gaming in my book! #gamedev #indiedev

I guess you've seen It Follows? If not, do it! It's got a very special, creepy vibe. A bit like what you described, but not entirely. Don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it.

Exciting news for #GameMaker users, support for #NintendoSwitch is coming! gamasutra.com/view/news/3153…
Replying to @voxagonlabs @tuxedolabs
Sounds lovely, getting rid of all the cruft. It would be super interesting to get a peek at your framework/toolchain some time! I'm never quite satisfied with mine, but then again perfection is unattainable.
Replying to @BraveCoder @tuxedolabs
I mean, have you ended your "hiatus"?
Replying to @voxagonlabs @tuxedolabs
True! We are way beyond that limit, so I don't pay much attention to it anymore. Are you back to making mobile games again? :)

Replying to @voxagonlabs @tuxedolabs
Then I think your current solution sounds great, since you'll never edit the cooked textures. Unless you want to support modding, I guess. Why do you want to switch format? To reduce the data size further? Is that important these days? (genuine question)

Replying to @voxagonlabs @tuxedolabs
I use TGA for non-cooked assets and a custom file format for cooked/runtime assets. The runtime format is basically the texture data (either RGBA or some packed format like DXTx) including mip-maps with optional ZLIB compression. Works fine but data is quite large (non-lossy).
Replying to @voxagonlabs @tuxedolabs
I seem to recall that the shareware games of early 2k (PopCap?) used two images for their textures, JPG for color and PNG for alpha. Obviously a problem which has been around a while. Your solution seems reasonable, but I guess it's a pain to edit images (no Photoshop support)?
