Working on render optimisations for my #IndieGame @positrongame.com in today's #pubdev session down the local Wetherspoons. I suspect I've broken something, haha! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev

In the local Wetherspoons with @lauracaine.com. Bit of a pub-dev session on my game @positrongame.com, and putting together some new media for socials. Going to see TRON: Ares again tonight, but this time in 3D. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #PubDev #TRON #TronAres

Playing about with the reflectivity settings in @positrongame.com today. I do like having more reflections showing in the outer walls, but they can get very distracting when all the smaller walls are heavily reflective too! #GameDev #IndieDev #PubDev #SoloDev

Early pub-dev session at the Wetherspoons in Camden. Making progress on getting my Metal and D3D12 renderer to parity with the stable D3D11 code (as used on the Steam release of @positrongame.com).

Write your own C++ engine. It’s great fun. I started extending my particle system today, and have since had to expand my Random Number Generator, switch the billboarding to the GPU, and added sub-frame emitting to keep spawn rates consistent. All while at the pub(s). #PubDev #GameDev #SoloDev

Needed to get out for a bit of shopping today, so came out early for a bit of #pubdev on my game Positron for a couple of hours. Finally working on my engine’s particle effect system, which is woefully basic at the moment.

Had a little wander around Hebden Bridge. Pretty nice. Very compact little village center, but full of places to eat and drink. Had a sandwich and pastry, now in the Vocation bar, getting a bit of #pubdev done on @positrongame.com :-). #GameDev #IndieDev #HebdenBridge

Time for a bit of Husband and Wife #GameDev with @lauracaine.com. Been ill this week and haven't touched @positrongame.com at all, so we're in the Wetherspoons for a Sunday pub-dev session. Working on getting this 0.2 update ready for release! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #PubDev

I had planned an epic hike for today, but it's too hot and I'll melt in this heat. So instead I'm back in the 'spoons for some #pubdev on my game Positron. Managed to sort out the trail shaders to add this nice swoop at the front. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Steam #EarlyAccess

Bit of #pubdev on @positrongame.com today between cinema visits. Fixed a bug where the orb would be too high to collect sometimes in Snake mode, and increased the attraction distance as you approach too.
