Over the weekend I worked a little more on character creation and UI. The UI system is starting to get quite flexible and putting screens together is relatively quick now, with support for events, tooltips, text wrapping and colour. #rust #gamedev

a flattering insult

Spent the last few evenings hacking on a new UI system - post finishing the incredible 'Hands on Rust' by @herberticus It's ECS driven, supports mouse/keyboard and adds multiline colored printing to my fork of bracket-lib. #rustlang #gamedev

48 hours in London for work, ended up meeting a friend from California for lunch, then a spontaneous gig @CamdenAssembly hanging out backstage with @jjwildechild band. They’re opening for Pearl Jam tomorrow and I couldn’t be more jealous.

More progress on this little tool I'm currently calling 'rae' (roguelike ascii editor). Enjoying the cycle of prototyping code quickly in gdscript, then re-writing it in rust with @GodotRust #rustgamedev

I love how quickly you can whip up a quick ascii tile editor with @godotengine and @GodotRust #rustgamedev

The smallest game loop is complete. Lots of little things I would like to add, but tonight I'm working on some graphics and maybe particles (at a stretch). #RustyGameJam

Last update before I stop tonights #RustyGameJam coding session. The beginnings of simulating the random flocking nature of chickens, that want to hurt you.

Working on my #rustygamejam entry. I have no idea where this is heading... probably a farmyard version of SmashTV

Manchester Orchestra - The Silence. This track is relatable on so so many levels. Even the aesthetics, videography and live ending are so reminiscent of my band days. The drum shells are almost identical too. youtu.be/8ui9umU0C2g
