I’m working on a life simulation game with the working title Project Harmonia.

Finished adding undo/redo functionality for all game actions. All logic is also networked using bevy_replicon 🙂

Next, I’m planning to work on house-building to create cities. I planning to implement apartment buildings first.

If you know any games where you can build apartments - let me know. Looking at prior art always helps!

When I migrated my game to bevy_enhanced_input, I added gamepad support. I figured it’d be fun to see if the game could run on a device like this.

It's a pocketable handheld with SD865 running Android and only 960p display. But making it work was surprisingly easy - just needed to tweak Cargo.toml and my main function.

However, there's a catch: GilRs, the input library Bevy uses, doesn’t support Android 😢 So, for now, I can only rely on touch controls, which I’ll properly support later.

Just wanted to tinker with it a little bit. Not very useful for the game at this stage, but since it's a hobby project, sometimes I just need to do something fun to stay motivated for bigger tasks.

Working on my game right now and making adjustments to the API along the way. This release allows attaching modifiers and conditions to sets and improves the ergonomics of the Negate modifier.

It's a port of the original Super Mario Bros from the NES to the Game Boy Color. The physics feel very nice, and I like how the sprites are adapted.

The port also extends the game. After the 8 original worlds, Quest B adds 8 more with new enemies, mechanics, and even bosses! I had so much fun playing it.

Also, the game is FOSS: https://github.com/Mico27/SuperMarioBrosMini

It’s a crate for server-authoritative networking. We use it for Project Harmonia, but it's general-purpose.

This release, I focused on improving the API for potential rollback crates. We now have full world access in writing functions, a way to reliably check for update messages (optional and needs to be enabled by rollback crates since it costs a little more traffic), and events to react nicely to confirmed ticks.

Currently, there is only one crate in development by another developer that implements a Rocket League rollback style, which is great for physics-based games. But it would be useful to have a "classic" rollback crate, which is better suited for shooters, so maybe we’ll see more rollback crates in the future!

I also improved the serialization. Replication messages are now more compact thanks to variable integer encoding, while still using a single buffer for performance.

It's a crate for dynamic and contextual input mappings for Bevy, inspired by Unreal Engine Enhanced Input.

Some highlights:

• Action events now have statically known types (bool, f32, Vec2 or Vec3), depending on the action configuration.
• Assigning inputs, modifiers, and conditions now works like Bevy systems: you can pass multiple items in tuples.
• Binding presets now structs.
• Many ergonomic improvements for passing input.

I didn’t plan all of these, but a user suggested these ideas and contributed PRs for most of them! I couldn't resist 😅

I’ve drafted two releases:

• 0.3.0 includes all the improvements.
• 0.4.0 updates to Bevy 0.15.0.

This way, you can address the breaking changes in 0.3.0 before updating to Bevy 0.15.0, avoiding the need to handle everything at once.

My wife is looking for a portable device primarily for modeling in Blender and optionally for drawing in Krita. So we looking for something with a GNU/Linux support from manufacturer.

We considered https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/TUXEDO-InfinityFlex-14-Gen1, it looks nice, but maybe you have other suggestions? Do you have experience with convertibles, how convenient is to draw on them?

We also considered https://earth.starlabs.systems/pages/starlite for drawing and a separate device for Blender, but having two devices might not be convenient...

I just wanted a pocketable device, so I decided to pick Mini over 5.

Originally, I wanted to order the white color but ended up choosing the black one because it makes the bezels and pillar boxes blend into the case. It also looks like a small SteamDeck 😅

When I'm not programming, I'm playing GTA III on it and earning RetroAchievements 😃
