When the phoenix egg is used on a nest, the phoenix appears and caries the player one screen away. #gamedev #trollbridge #screenshotsunday

New SSD is setup. Copying the data from the old drive took a little longer than I had expected. #hardware

Tried creating a fire/lava boss in the past but didn't like the result. Kids had me look on opengameart again and found FireCreature. I modified the colors. Still working on the fight. #gamedev #trollbridge #screenshotsunday

Kids are currently watching an episode of Nature on the ichthyosaur. #pbs #Nature

ReactOS only support 32-bit applications. I switched the Windows builds of Troll Bridge and Bt Builder to use 64-bit. I'm wondering if that was a bad decision. #gamedev #reactos

Why is the g++ Windows cross compiler on Fedora a different version than the Linux g++? C++17 has the features needed to replace my use of boost in Troll Bridge. The Windows cross compiler doesn't support everything I need. #gamedev #C++

I took some animated lava from opengameart and add a modified version to Troll Bridge. It can also be color shifted to make water. Also added a nest image to implement the phoenix egg. The screenshot is an ugly test screen. #screenshotsunday #trollbridge #gamedev

I bought 7 days to die for Linux. It is very different from the PS4 version which I knew from reading about it before buying it. I tried playing with mouse and keyboard. I tried playing with PS4 controller. I now tend to use PS4 controller plus mouse. #7daystodie #linux

Sounds like an awkward setup. Doesn't the ps4 controller have a touch pad?

@poVoq It does have a touch pad but I find it too sensitive to use. It's not bad to use the controller and mouse. Mostly you use the controller. The mouse is use mainly for the crafting screens.

Interesting I can delete responses to other peoples posts from my stream. I assume it doesn't really delete the comment for the other person and just makes it so I don't have to see it. Hopefully it doesn't become something I need to make use of regularly.

Showed the kids Another World on the PS4. They liked it but it doesn't have the same feeling to them. Games have always had complex stories to them and nice graphics. #anotherworld #ps4

Troll Bridge's image conversion tool used the pcx format when I started working on it. I wrote a decoder for it. In 2015 I created a new tool to read indexed png files but I never got it very usable. In 2016, I updated the original pcx tool to read indexed png files. After crashing yet again last night, I added support for RGB color mode in addition to indexed color. Better tools make development easier. #gamedev #trollbridge

Demakes are reimagining games on older systems. I started looking at the Atari 2600 graphics and decide to demake Troll Bridge graphics. Included is the before and after. #atari2600 #trollbridge #gamedev #screenshotsunday

@dulsi not possible to make a basic texture on the rocks at all?

@poVoq To be Atari 2600 like not really. I can't think of a single game that didn't make walls one solid color. I suppose I should mention that Troll Bridge will continue with the regular graphics. I may add an command line option or something in game to switch to Atari 2600 graphics.

Found the code for an old civ clone I was involved in. I got the code to work but it can't load an old X11 font. It uses Xaw toolkit. Fixing the font handling seems more trouble than the code is worth. #gamedev

Installed Stella, an Atari 2600 emulator, and downloaded some homebrew roms. There are some impressive games for such a limited system like Bit Quest 2. #atari2600

Git is great for version control but I have found github has made fork a little too easy. Take Tux Type for example, the original website is gone. So where is the authoritative repository? Is it one of the two repositories on debian gilab instance? Is it the github tux4kids/tuxtype? Could it be one of the forks from that repo? #git

New World: Classes explains how some of the classes fit into the New World setting. Most are unchanged but the druid orders, psionics, and warlocks have some additional information. #dnd #dnd4e #newworld

Some of the Great Spirits are detailed in New World: Great Spirits. Unfortunately I didn't create as many as the other religions in the New World. Surprisingly they played a greater role in the game. #dnd #dnd4e #newworld

Long time ago I started writing up the New World: The Last Colonies as a campaign setting for 4E D&D. I'm going to try to post some more of the material in case it might inspire someone. Latest is the New World: Dragonkin Legends. #dnd #dnd4e #newworld

Kids helped replace the flags for veterans at the local cemeteries. The veterans used to do this themselves but their numbers in town are too low so the boy scouts, cub scouts, and girl scouts help out. #memorialday
