  1. Did I ever publicly mention I've been (slowly) working on porting my #Asteroidians codebase from #Unity to #Monogame ?

    Apparently that started June. 🙄

    I spent today working on my replacement Coroutine sys, which has gotten some 👀❓from the Monogame discord.

    I have specific needs for Coroutines though, for running game-simulation code over-time with my "deterministic lockstep sync" based #multiplayer architecture.
    And it keeps code tidy!

  2. CW: Selftaught/Career/Finance Woes

    I've tried to make #freelance work for income, and managed to barely sustain myself for several years doing so, but routine #SocialMedia (namely #marketing) is one of those #softskills I am godawful at keeping up with

    It's the same reason I couldn't generate enough interest in #Asteroidians as a game. (tbh the community management aspects of #gamedev kinda scare me)

    Unfortunately when everyone has less money, freelancers are hit first

    #Thread
    Often I forget just how amazing some of the #programming systems I have made for #Asteroidians are. Absolutely something that could be turned into a viable career, even outside #gamedev

    Being #ActuallyAutistic I seem to struggle with the #softskills necessary to turn the #SelfTaught skills I've developed into something I can live off of

    Its very invalidating, internally I seem to blame society or #capitalism which is not constructive
