It was 2 hours for 13 posts which is less than 10 minutes per to queue up (which is pretty good) but it discounts all the image/video collection time too

The less glamorous part of gamedev -_-

I mean: look at all them!

  • Been tackling a lot of errors on the Linux build of Sully / fixing up the build scripts so they work on Windows and Linux for both Release and Demo builds of Sully!
  • Two nights ago my Windows Buildbot decided that it no longer liked custom git commands outside of the checkout Github Action so I’ve been diagnosing that! (My Linux Buildbot is perfectly happy still)
  • This is all in preparation for an OSX build (which dozen of people will use. Dozen!)

    • (The Linux build will be much more popular due to the Steamdeck)

    Also Ustor has been doing a lot! And our animator Val has been killing it lately! Check out this WIP!

    Got vrpg back up again. What a precious little baby this site is (if I upgrade mongodb it gets sad. sigh)

    Let’s see if it happens

    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

    • Spent way too much time learning about the horrible state of sending email in these hellish after-times
    • Set up a new mailing list and ported all the mails over from the old service
    • Updated https://breadbros.com/ with links to wishlist Sully and to join the mailing list
    • Updated the site with more videos and put the videos higher up and added calls to action for wishlisting
    • Collected all of the pre-orders into a list finally (This… was a 10-year outsatnding task)
    • Collecting new screenshots and videos to start actually making some noise

    So. That’s… me.

    Edit: oh, I also almost fixed the account verification/recovery stuff but that’s all tied into “wow it sucks these days.” So that’s… still in progress

    (an upgrade made it so it was no longer upgrading to HTTP2 to stream in the js/css. The web was a mistake.)

    I neither know why nodebb stopped serving the its critical js/css files, nor do I particularly care after spending way too long fixing them by stapling them into place.

    Internet.
    Of.
    Shit.

    Did you know that github no longer provides free branch protection for private repos? It’s true!

    Just $44/year for everyone who’s a collaborator if you want this useful feature!

    …so if you got an email saying you were disconnected from one of my projects this week: I still love you. ❤

    I’ve been turning my beefy windows machine into an automated build machine!

    And boy is it frustrating!

    b5cb0e74-87ed-40af-b2ea-9b4f8a4870b8-image.png

    I mean, October was a little light but LOOK at all those COMMITS!

    Anyways, can’t talk about all that. Let’s see, what have I done?

    Since the last update I’ve:

    • Worked with Ustor to debug some pipeline issues building the Sully Demo
    • Recruited Demo Beta Testers
    • Set up infrastructure for testing feedback
    • Done a bunch of legal stuff for the company
    • Recruited an illustrator to work on the marketing assets for Sully

    Wow, did you know there’s tons of stuff to game making that ISNT making games? I hate it!

    Out of professional courtesy I won’t post WIPs of the marketing art. It’ll be done soon! :3

    In the last two weeks I’ve:

    • Fixed some bugs in Breaditor
    • Been working on a event-driven C++ UI system
    • Been learning unique_ptr<> for the first time to deal with fixing ownership/lifetime issues for said UI system!
    • Lost 5 lbs (idk does that count?)

    Making a custom C++ UI system for the current game project!

    Basically bringing the concepts of Sully’s C#-based McGrender engine that Ustor and I have developed over the years and making it work in a C++ SDL2 context.

    It’s going surprisingly well, but I’m annoyed I’ll have to make a drop down menu >: (

    …I made a webapp for tracking whose turn it is for cleaning the litterbox in my house?

    Look, I’m still playing catchup on tasks from all the setbacks from the server work and housework. I’m just about getting done with professional work and games work may continue apace shortly.

    AND MOST OF THAT IS SECRET STILL 😠
