@dym_sh i had a good time doing 3 days Amtrak across America. i didn't get a roomette but rather just a seat, so not quite Type 1 fun, but definitely some kind of fun. also the idea is that at the end i would spend a few weeks in JapanPermalink Look on archive.org

a load of the resources for Flutter are on Medium, which means I have to look up how to do stuff in an incognitio window to get around the paywallPermalink Look on archive.org
-
also the culture of resources is different to other software communities i'm used to. it's 80% low quality blogposts just about expanding on some sample code, clearly people who have been told "write blog posts and people will give you work" and doggedly following itPermalink Look on archive.org
-
despite all this, it is a nice framework to work in. although it's a shame it's made by people who believe every app should adhere to Google design principles.Permalink Look on archive.org

there's a creative coding framework buried deep inside, occasionally straining to be set freePermalink Look on archive.org

jumping off from this, because I've not seen too much of either in my career. what I've seen is: - work is satisfying, even sometimes fun, in itself - but too much or with a frustrating context makes it draining - not much of a relationship between hard work and good outcomes @polotek/1499170256861884418Permalink Look on archive.org

@Jam_sponge i think this is "bad design", and something they have tried to correct (see: adding in extra signs telling you to get in the hole). but also it is funny and charming and this game is more enjoyable because it is sometimes a bit broken in a funny and charming wayPermalink Look on archive.org

@locust9 also a lot of equipment/items/etc stuff is a bit opaque or fussy but also it is the way you discover how the world works, and that act of discovery is a core part of the gamePermalink Look on archive.org

@locust9 and then some stuff is just a bit janky, where they presumably decided to not put the time in and focus on things more important to the core of the game. which is also an intentional decision, but it doesn't mean everything that came out of it is good, necessarily.Permalink Look on archive.org

here's the blurb: Downpour is a fun, quick and accessible way to make your own videogames. Take photos of yourself, your drawings, your world and then link them together. You made a game! Now share it so others can play.Permalink Look on archive.org

The utopian vision for the project is this: making a tool so that anyone, without prior knowledge, can make something interestingly interactive in a spare ten minutes. And without a computer. What would you make if making a game was as easy as writing a letter?Permalink Look on archive.org

And if you wanna try it before then... it'll be at Now Play This on the 8-10th April: nowplaythis.net/ I think the setup is going to be really nice, there's going to be crafting tables & props & maybe a dollhouse? And the games people make there will be playable online.Permalink Look on archive.org
