I know we have the PGD challenge on at the moment... But who doesn't like a blitz paced game dev jam? I know I have a lot of work on my entry to do still... But if I'm honest I've now sort of got that - I hate looking at my code a little since its virtually all the code I've done recently... And so, I decided I needed a break - but one where I didnt fall out of touch with game code... A break called LD23. Just to give you guys a heads up - the themes are looking absolutely awesome so ...
Hey everyone! It's been a while since I wrote a new blog, so I figured that I should make an attempt to give you all a slice of my thoughts of late. I've been a little busy for the past few months, so you all know I have a full-time career on top of all this volunteer stuff I do with the community.

Prometheus now runs faster, smaller and more flexibly - and work is still being done in this area. Now theres an application logger that can be toggled at a flick of a bit, its pure OpenGl code that talks directly to X11/WinAPI and it has no DLLs/SOs. And to add another plus theres some extra niceness in the Utils unit that lets you lear out arrays with a single command, ...
Well it would seem that my plans to provide more news posts and start promoting PGD and Pascal Gamer before I left in November have collapsed. My slightly over one year iMac has gone wonky on me and I cannot seem together it to work again with reinstalls and diagnostic tools. Therefore there must be a hardware issue of which I'll have to send it in together it fixed. Sadly that will take more time than I an spare as it means a 3 hour drive to the next major city of where there is ...
