- Reposted by Cairn4subscription software is a subscription first, software second
- Almost every time I'm unpatching/repatching my synth while listening to it... I think of the scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey where HAL 9000 is singing "Daisy" as Dave slowly pulls his memory chips out 😅😭
- Reposted by Cairn4Happy third birthday, Cherry! Today you're allowed to bite everybody as much as you want. 🥹

- first successful tiny habitat module for SpaceCat... although now also needs an airlock 🤔 also those corner joints were annoying to fit together, so will probably try to simplify them some more
- Reposted by Cairn49hrs in and already pretty much 75% of the way to the fundraiser goal!! <3 www.32auctions.com/publishingfo...
- Oy, that it's so easy to build out menus in #Godot - it's been fun to make tools and debug menus for MewnBase to help with testing and for easily reviewing data resources in one place. Always wanted an item menu kinda like this for creative mode etc - way nicer than typing in console commands.
- Made a little MewnBase SpaceCat standee / mini last night - also wanna design a habitat module for them to live in at some point 😸
- Reposted by Cairn4#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6
- Latest laser design that I finally finished this past weekend. Happy with how it came out but will probably try a few more once some thicker wood sheets to come in the mail to give it all a bit more depth. #DeepRockGalactic

- Reposted by Cairn4After wayyy too long, I finally have enabled the Credits page. All of the incredible art was done by @cairn4.bsky.social creator of MewnBase. The music track was done by JPass, a childhood friend whose skill in everything music I was always super jealous of. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de...

- Reposted by Cairn4Already changed up the demo, I removed the Round Restriction so that you can play through all 50 rounds (and more), but still no Meta Upgrades or Challenges. Maybe that will be just the right amount of tease. Much testing to be done. Let me know what you think: pattgames.itch.io/scorefall
- Reposted by Cairn4Tons of updates for #Scorefall! Finally! pattgames.itch.io/scorefall/de... #indiegamedev #plinko #roguelite #roguelike

- First attempt at a DIY wooden eurorack sidecar/overflow case is finally "done" and ready for some modules 🥳. Next time would go with thinner wood to cut down on weight, 3/4" maple is pretty heavy. Drilled holes... mostly line up haha.
- Reposted by Cairn4Well, I wanted to release my game for testing and wishlisting in August and I made it by 10 minutes. Introducing Scorefall. A chill 2D roguelite based on pachinko. Let me know what you think. pattgames.itch.io/scorefall store.steampowered.com/app/3829550/... #indiegamedev

- Reposted by Cairn4ICYMI! My latest substack newsletter has gone out! (its FREEEEE)
- Opened java MewnBase for the first time in a while. Dusting off cobwebs, trying to wrap up some old bug fixes that had never gone out in a build... but got sidetracked play-testing and decided for *some reason* that being able to pin a recipe to the HUD was something I needed to add? 😆 #gamedev
- Reposted by Cairn4I have sadly been hit by the lay off bug. Currently seeking any Freelance, Contract, or Full Time work! linktr.ee/CasWassHere
- Designed and laser cut some Star Trek TNG-styled lamp shade panels last night for my old IKEA light. Pretty snug and held together with barely enough glue, but still really happy with how it came out 😄
- Pitch + gate sequence -> Disting Mk4 in Adder mode for octave shifts -> Plaits and filter into Black Hole Reverb ... I could listen to this all night. #eurorack

- Reposted by Cairn4Soooo... I'm creating a graph-based modular synthesizer in Godot for fun and the results are nice so far! There's still a lot to add, but it's shaping up nicely! I'll probably open-source it when I'm happy with the results and UX is not shit. #GodotEngine #synthesizer
- Sloppy attempt #1 at prototyping some laser-cut eurorack case panels with scrap plywood. Got the measurements *almost* right lol

- wasn't impressed by the generic, unimaginative printed paper book covers and posters in this model kit lol. "Book", "Garden Time", "G/Jarden"? 🤔 ... so printed some new ones, and a tiny copy of the NIN poster that's been hanging in my office forever
- Reposted by Cairn4There's a Playdate OS/SDK update out today, 2.7.2. (Get it in Settings > System > System Update). While it doesn't have a lot of features for players, it sets the stage for a big new part of Playdate: networking. That means developers can start writing things like—that's right—multiplayer games.
- Excited to find out myself 😂 ... wonder what it'll look like!? (from the World of Goo 2 trailer)
