…getting vrpg back up, once again

Did y’all know running a business is work?

This past week I’ve:

• finalized the Breadbros Logo
• done a lot of project management/triaging from internal testers
• done some hiring of new art contractors
• done a LOT of removing business-related services from my personal cards to the company card
• designed/ordered some stickers for conventions
• set up my laptop for development again
• set up a new ubuntu build machine (ongoing)
• posted some social media
  (please follow us on https://www.tiktok.com/@breadbros_games )

and… I’m sure I’m missing so many other things!

And wow I need to start listening to my monday calendar even to post here

…wtf how did a new thread get made I am bad at internet

New post here:
https://verge-rpg.com/topic/259/the-gruedorfing-must-continue

Hm, what have I been doing that’s public?

I made a neat electron app for my desktop tray so I add passive and active functionality real quick to my desktop system

Like, it’s got a webserver that listens to my local network and can play sounds into my real-life earholes. This was very useful because I wanted to hear when my VMs hit breakpoints or builds failed and stuff like that (because I’m VERY dependent on audio triggers)

I even added a 1980’s style voice synth so it could say in a very Stephen Hawking Way “LINUX BUILD FAILED”

https://github.com/mcgrue/tray-platform <- if you’re curious

• It also has a bespoke hot reloader that
  • auto-reloads your ‘renderer view’ if its out of date
  • sends an alert() to restart if your ‘main app’ is out of date
• It also also have an .env monitor taht auto-spawns your electron windows (if the proper variables are set) to the dimensions specified. This was mainly because I wanted my development workflow to always auto-open the chromium developers console, and put it in a separate location from the app

I really like optimizing my workflow

So. That’s neat… But it was only a day of all this:

It’s kinda impressive I can be so consistent because I was badly ill for three of those weeks, but I do love what I’m working on

The Dorf of Gruedorf has been far more consistent with his updates, and you should go follow him over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@shamuspeveril/111994370166230122

You can also join the Breadbros Discord and come to the #gruedorf channel if you’re so inclined!

Wrote the first draft of the first-ever Breadbros newsletter post!

(Should be coming out early next week after Ustor gives notes/feedback)

Started posting videos on video sites…
