So the worst news is I won't be able to finish the slopes video for this week. I'm still not in a position where I have something I'm happy to record let alone edit. I'm not going to promise next Frid...

Here is some insight for you guys on some of the process behind this week's video and why I've made certain choices about the code we'll be doing. I dunno if talking about this is of interest to you g...

2017-08-17 16:16:46 +0000 UTC View PostSo the results of last week's poll are in, but it was absurdly close! 10 votes for Cutscenes so I'll be delivering on that, but since second place (Tile Collisions) got just one vote less and I know s...

This poll will run for $5+ supporters from now until Sunday night and will decide the next video topic. (This week I'm working on Complete Platformer part 3) It's kinda handy now in retrospect to have...

Going into some detail about how the pixel outline shader works. There's not a lot of code in this one, which I shared directly on twitter yesterday:
Whoa. There's been a whole lot more of you show up in the last few days. I guess my new platformer series is off to a good start!
I plan to add to that series once every two weeks. So this wee...
