It didn’t! How about this screenshot of Mt Jujube’s exterior, art by Hyptosis!

Things I’ve done in the last week for [SullyRpg.com](link url)
Oh, and Gruedorf’s back. 2021 Forum Lyfe!!!1
This week’s update is a little less spectacular. I’ve done a bit, but I’m going to try and keep my GRUEDORFING to Sully-only for the time being.
Anyways:
Things I’ve done:
❤️💕❤️
So, you ask, what delightful things did YOU work on in the last seven days, “McGRUE”. If that IS your real name.
Can you feel… the love?
Did you know you can update for gruedorf MORE REGULARLY than once every 7 days?!
It’s true. Every valid entry just resets the counter to seven days from itself!
…anyways, here’s today’s valid entry!
I’ve worked on the Dungeon of Love’s Dance Studio setting up a lot of polish before the penultimate encounter.
** Probably more polish than is needed but whatever
I’ve also reworked the entire logging system so instead of just printing debug statements caveman-style to the console I can send them AAaaanywhere. (But for now they’re just going to the console.)
** Also I named this Logger “CaptainsLog()”. Because of the whole marine theme.
…see you within the next seven days!
Today’s update (slightly late, I got plenty done in the past seven days, I just had Keto Superfog Brain last night…)
The post-Big-Daddy-Bubba-Fight scene has it’s first pass! This is one of my favorite scenes in the game, Tons of editing and scripting need to be done to make it more dynamic than 300 raw lines of exposition, but progress is progress!
A peak:
(Weird formatting note: Bubba’s text needs two spaces at the front of line 1 of any box and one space at the front of line 3 of any box to avoid the overwhelming power of his hat and shawl.)
I replaced hardcoded Portrait definitions with data-driven ones that were actively reloaded while in debug mode upon map reload!
And that’s it for Sully Stuff that I can talk about! :D
A week late and a weak post, but I got SOME work done:
Still plodding through the input menu stuff; just got a new xbox controller so I can test the XNA builtins and Overkill pointed me at some more generic controller code that’ll just, you know, work with generic gamepads?
Otherwise I’ve got it so bound keys now legitimately unbind! Yay! Now I need to make sure you can’t ever unbind the last keyboard binding for something, and… do the gamepad unbinding, and binding for both (have the if/else’s set up for it all, but it’s a lot of edge cases I… need to add more if/elses for!)
Oh and then I need to add loading and saving of all of this.
Wheeeeeee
28 Days later…
1: Been preoccupied by my day job; I decided to quit it to start focusing on Breadbros full time!
Today was my last day at the day job!
In the past week I got the Plugin System loading resources from the APPDATA folder, and then started the dockable branch of breaditor to enable a UI overhaul to allow Great Things™.
I made this!
https://github.com/mcgrue/scripts/blob/main/bash/killport.sh
killport() {
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Missing port argument"
return
fi;
output=$(lsof -t -i :$1)
echo "found the following processes on port $1 : $output"
for i in $output
do
echo "attempting to kill $i"
kill $i
done
echo "done murdering ports"
}
…because I was killing things a lot. Surely in about 2 years the time investment will pay off.
Why?
Because I spawned THIS MANY windows trying to make this:
…Why is bash so hard?
(I don’t think this theme was ever public, but the content is real!)
Well, what have I done this week that I can talk about?
Upgraded verge-rpg and breadbros.com in various ways, including the boards
I updated so many server certificates!
I’ve started removing breaditor’s jquery-ui stuff in favor of reactified componentry
I’ve been struggling with a full goddamned upgrade of the electron internals!
Hey, I upgraded the site, improved the theme, and now there’s 2-factor auth!
(Go to your profile and scroll to the bottom of your options menu if you want to enable it.)
(Also after confirming you’ll be logged out, so refresh?)
…Wow, the Breaditor is starting to feel like a real app!
Just to keep posts going, I’ve made sure to allow myself time for projects I’ve wanted to do, especially if they automate things I CONSTANTLY do.
In this case, I constantly convert screenshots to be on a 16x9 canvas so they look nicer on twitter.
an hour of scripting later, and I had an autohotkey setup do do that. Yay.

Wow, 64 days. I’ve lost… 9 cycles.
Well, some of those I didnt do work (but I was sick. Did you know there was a Pandemic on?) and some of those I did… but I can’t talk about the work (did you know there’s laws? >:( )
But here I am, (now) (to) Rock you like a hurricane!
So, what’s today’s Gruedorf update?
Well… what if the BREADitor had an actually good base UI framework and acted like a core Adobe app?
@kildorf this is sexy and I love it (and by extension: you)
