   Thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot to me more than you know. You can bet I definitely would like something to come from this. I'm working on it full time without being paid. Even just a job would be life chang

   Hard to say really because I did get bored a lot. I just kept it in my mind and always came back to it. I'd really like a career doing this so I guess having a wager on it is good too.

   I'm uploading to google drive right now but it's moving slow. If anyone who's downloaded it already would like to upload somewhere themselves I'd really appreciate it.

   I'm pretty shocked actually. I stepped away to watch youtube with the wife and came back to this exploding. I'm uploading to google drive right now.

   It's mostly just Unity3d and lots of elbow grease. I used blender for the 3d objects and animations. I used inkscape and the gimp for a lot of the texture work. I used audacity for a lot of the audio work. I also made my own library fo

   That's really bizarre. I'll have to test it again on my ubuntu box. Thank you so much for the feedback!

   They shouldn't be animating slowly. I wonder if I forgot to make them framerate independent :/ I'd really appreciate it if you could file an issue here: https://bitbucket.org/ZayWolfe/boxbyte-lyte/is

   I don't blame you. People seem to be playing it without a problem if it means anything to you.

   I might do that. I'm a little shy about it since I'm self taught. No one's actually looked at my code before haha

    1) Yes actually. And it's my second game XD 2) It was very painful. I actually lost the whole game once from a hard drive failure and had to remake it whole. I guess I had to learn to use version control sometime lol 3) A: Focus on the

    Oh wow I've never heard of itch.io! I wonder if they allow games in beta.

    Yeah I definitely agree. I actually had a website up once but I had to let it go because I couldn't afford the domain and server costs. Currently living off of government assistance so it's rare to have more than a few dollars ext

    Hey everyone! I just updated the game. There was a vsync problem causing speed issues on some computers. Also fixed some boss bugs and increased the character limit on the score submit to 20. I just updated the files in the original links,

    I really don't agree. I like the interface and it's simple. I make indie games, but I suck at music creation. As of today I'm a paying member, just bought some menu music.

    I agree, I'd love to be able to tweak tracks after they're generated. Also I noticed in long tracks, like 5min+, that it gets a little repetitive, like the algorithm is trying to pad it out. At least in the few I created, could be

    I definitely spend more time using applications, and for the general population I'd bet even more. Webapps are what people are flocking too and that's where the industry is heading. Depending on your definition of application, arg

    What would be really nice is something similar to .Net's virtual machine CLR. It would offer the flexibility to design in whatever language you want and possibly a performance boost as well.

    I happen to like JavaScript but I agree about HTML, CSS, and the DOM. Actually I would like them to die. It doesn't take a PHD to see that we've moved beyond what the original platform was designed to do. It was designed for docum

    I had my questions too. That was until I tried VirtualDesktop. It literally makes your desktop into a big screen display floating right in front of you. For a background you can have a space scene with a planet similar to Saturn and asteroi

    These articles are always political, it even says in the article that it's not uncommon for reps to role their own mail solutions. Are anyone else's names listed?

    Fantastically written article. I found the most interesting question near the end. I've never been a proponent of socialism, but in a world where work can be filled by the push of a key by unquestioning automata, could it become viable

    I have some harsh news for you. I did exactly that. I moved back to firefox after probably 3 years on chrome. It's not much better. There's one thing about chrome that has spoiled me. The fact that when something crashes only the
