#SolarAsh is out today (PS + EGS). I'm very emotional, having seen this through all the way from the first prototypes five years ago (!!!) through testing/final-polishing on the day before release. It wouldn't have been possible without the incredible team at Heart Machine.

I don't think it's fair to use live-action Speed Racer as a means to dismiss Cowboy Bebop. The overlap made it harder to invest into live-action Bebop for me. The originals aren't comparable, and Speed Racer doesn't need to be a formula to follow.

I released a starter kit for the FNA game framework: github.com/blendogames/fn This kit is *very* basic scaffolding for input, rendering, audio, etc -- so you can get up and running quickly. I like FNA quite a lot, and I hope this helps gives folks a foothold to using it. Enjoy!

Since I missed my first chance to talk about Metalhead: It was one of the couple eps that felt relevant to me, not because of the 'funny' 'sci-fi' AI dogs, but because analogous remnant war ordinance/chems form uninhabitable zones and harm civilians already.
Last day to back! I'm on the project for sure at this point, but your contribution can still make the project even better.

Coding History's in its final 24 hours! You can still get a key to Eni's Labyrinth ($10+), binaries, early access, PDF, and more: kickstarter.com/projects/eniko Coding History is a video series about retro 3D and how you can create a raycaster, DOOM renderer, or Outrun racer

This might've came off as an "I'm diff" thing? I calc beliefs/actions vs anxiety/shame/effort/efficacy/lack-of-support-network. It also takes conscious effort to not throw movements under-the-bus due to my own fears, or inversely, to not be defensive when I see it happen.

My political awakening was when I saw tear gas and pepper spray used on occupy protesters in California. All the rightwingers around me dismissed the movement as goalless LARPing and mocked it endlessly, but I think what I saw year was transformative to me as a kid.

General reminder that OWS was ongoing, with actionable demands. It took coordination of every level of gov, using violence, false charges, and post-midnight raids on camps to dislodge protestors, concurrent with misinformation being fed by media. twitter.com/ellaguro/statu

It's understated how much shame and mockery plays a role in denying justice. Every movement will have misguided 'mascots' focused on and insincere questions of efficacy. It leaves fair-weather allies too embarrassed, and gives dissonant folk a chance to give up.

i guess a lot of people either forget about or slag off OWS in retrospect but it was hard to think of a protest movement (at least in the US) having any real steam behind to the point where it became mainstream discourse before that point

Something to keep in mind if you are learning about game dev jobs: huge numbers of people in this industry are not on twitter and/or don't tweet. For every one of us tweeting there are several big time geniuses who have, unlike me, conquered their id and don't tweet at all
