We're plan to move our office soon. We're going to be moving from Bloxwich to Birmingham. Right now it's just a big empty shell. So we're getting a firm to design and turn it into a real office. I haven't been to many game studio offices. In fact, I think I've only been to one.. … Continue reading Office Design

Access control in serverside Blazor
I like Blazor, and I like Razor and ASP stuff. I've been coding stuff in it for a while but I refuse to learn about their built in authorization APIs. I come from the world of PHP where cookie/session management was always really handled manually, so I always feel more comfortable handling all this myself. … Continue reading Access control in serverside Blazor

Unity 2022
You know, I rag on Unity a lot. They've made a lot of mistakes. Deprecating features while the replacement isn't ready. Creating multiple new implementations of features from scratch instead of improving what's there. Abandoning their own features in favour of acquiring community made versions, and then abandoning them. Splitting the whole render system into … Continue reading Unity 2022

I was really sad to hear that he'd passed away a couple of months ago. I was even sadder to read that he … Continue reading Rip Foszor

I googled the errors and the common theme seemed to be the whole battery pack replaced.. not something … Continue reading My Tesla Broke
What sucks about Steam
Having used Steam nearly every day for 19 years, both as a developer and a gamer, there are a few things that annoy me. These things have become more apparent since I've had kids and other game launchers have come out. Friend Requests I'm sure normal people don't have this problem, but people add me … Continue reading What sucks about Steam
Making A Game 2022
Game Idea Every game starts with an idea. The best game idea is the one that's popular right now. Get a list of games up, order by the number of concurrent players and make a game like that first one. Yes, that game was made by 500 people, over the course of 6 years, but … Continue reading Making A Game 2022
