INTERCHANGE

I'm making a game about urban transportation, so I began researching the world of 2000BCE. As it turns out, there's a lot we can learn from the paths Sumerian copper merchants followed. If you're interested in history, math, or simulations, this may be interesting for you.

Urban transit, Sumerian trade routes and simulation games are all the same thing. I spent the past 8 weeks going incredibly deep on transit networks by studying how the ancient world worked. Next week, I’ll be publishing what I found in a long form video essay

I’m making a new game about building subways and I'm going to document the entire thing on YouTube. Urban transportation and transit is fascinating, and a problem in every city. Let’s see what happens. Follow along for updates #indiedev

the next type of geometry I've built is the intersection hub for 3 or more converging edges the math was really tricky, especially in ensuring smooth cubic transitions at the joins, but in theory this should work for n edges of variable widths #gamedev #indiedev

working on a hierarchical navigation system that feels really good tap to cycle between targets, double tap to zoom in, all parents and children are accessible in the same view #gamedev #indiedev

pictures i took in a small town

added "infinite detail" with a new hierarchical architecture in which each body's transform is local to it's reference frame, enabling extremely precise values over massive distances #gamedev #indiedev

@nowhereont if it’s untitled how will we distinguish it from your other lawn pianos

@_GABRIELOC i only read the french side of sparkling water cans, ai has yet to replicate this

still reading books huh. guess you didn’t realize sonnet cloude o-53 just replaced all writers. buy my course to learn more

@robjama and he’s also taking insane photos of small town ontario over at @nowhereont

This is one of the coolest career pivots I’ve seen. From Shopify and Spotify to elementary school teacher.

Last bit of winter in Ontario

just released a massive update to @chaotic_era huge performance improvements, brand new movement system, tons of bug fixes, and more. and we dropped the price by 40%
