@killmondaygames.bsky.social I was looking for a game to play with my daughter that was a point n click like I used to play, and we picked: #littlemisfortune - we loved it, and my wife got sucked in and my other daughter. Now everyone is quoting your superb voice acting. What an endearing game.

Picking this project back up: it's a 2d #pixelart style Invaders + Tower Defense game. The original game was written in C++ and #allegro around 2006 by someone else. My version is implemented from scratch in #ziglang 0.16.0 and #raylib 6.0.

Damn, I installed Transmission on MacOS and that thing was barely able to chew through 5 megabytes of data after running it for 30 minutes.

Downloaded github.com/cenkalti/rain and that thing downloaded 6gigs in a matter of 8 minutes. Another win for software built-in in #golang.

Finally got around to designing this custom #SpaceQuest #RogerWilco logo on a T-shirt based on a patch that #SierraOnline released many years ago.

This is my original vector implementation getting printed for the first time!

Here’s a Mini PC Big Box recreation of Leisure Suit Larry 6 that I printed a few months back. You almost can’t tell that it’s just a few inches tall!
