Open source Minnesotan, making Veridian Expanse (@VeridianExpanse). I made the Chipmunk2D physics engine, and some other fun libraries. By day, I do a lot of game adjacent work like therapeutic VR, real time drone mapping, and math for heavy machinery.

@nprofile1q... Nothing major since putting out the demo. We've been trying to get some contracts to make actual money... >_> Haven't had much for paid work for in quite a while. I need to start really digging into it again though. The TODO list isn't going to finish itself...

@nprofile1q... It’s been like a month since our client had us make the template project for them. I assume they haven’t touched it yet or they would have started asking us questions. I’m kind of looking forwards to the schadenfruede(?) of saying they can always just ask AI to figure it out for them. >_> Though I’d be more happy to never speak of it again. 🤷

Hm. Unity AI response appears to be deeply underwhelming.

@nprofile1q... How so? I haven’t even heard anyone mention it in my circles.

Well with one exception. A client of ours asked us to set up a template project for them so they could try it on their weird hardware setup. (8 displays, depth cameras, multiple micro-controllers for custom inputs, etc) We told them we were pretty sure it wouldn’t work for this. We took their money and made the template anyway. Never heard back that they even bothered to try it. >_<

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Also same… I have a basement full of old Macs, but the App Store when it came to Mac really killed the “cool software I want to use” vibe OS X used to have. Gnome still has it though and I’ve been super happy with it for close to 10 years now.

I maintain a Mac build of the game I’m making but the code signing and notarizing make it just miserable. OS X was the only platform I used to use for 15 years. Now I think this will be the last software I mac for Mac. :(

You know when you fix a bug that you can't replicate the cause, but you just check for the effect and fix that... Yeah... I did one of those today and I'm not so proud of it. >_>

@nprofile1q... Jah… I had wondered what their endgame would be here. Subtle (or not so) ads in LLM, or really just sacrifice their entire business based in ads to LLMs…

Sounds like the latter first, and probably the former later. This is the dumbest timeline…
