It's about month and a half since I finished working on support for gamepads in #SFML on Android and the maintainers are ghosting me ever since. I guess I pissed them off with something, although unclear on what.
Welp, seems I'll be building everything on my fork for foreseeable future 
And here we have release 0.10.0.
Implementing basic lighting system gives me an opportunity later to introduce more interesting effects during the game

Deer Portal Release 0.9.7 - Particles storm. There is a little FPS drop, so optimisations are incoming, but its good for start :) Do you like this massive particles?

Ktokolwiek z linuksowym desktopem chciałby przez dzień pobyć testerem linuksowej wersji gry? ;)
Anyone who wants to test the AppImage #Linux version of #DeerPortal

Did you try #DeerPortal 
and why don’t you like it?
It is a board game driven by a Deer god and classical elements

Most comments which I received and some reviews which I was reading were clear that nobody had a clue what is happening during the game in the context of the cards. I added a simple overlay text, will replace later with some proper graphic for UI, but for now it explains actions after taking the cards.

Released a major update today, adding #speedrun mode to my #indie game BubbleByte!

Powered by Modern #cpp, #sfml, #sdl, and #imgui. Fully #OpenSource!
I've crippled my left hand with an axe a month ago so I wasn't able to finalize #SteamDeck support of #Rend or write any articles or do any unrelated gamedev whatsoever (don't even ask me on my gaming backlog!), but the hand is getting better now and now I have a working prototype of gamepad support on #Android in #SFML!
Connection, identification, and button presses are working. Now to get analog inputs and disconnection code in place.
Oh great, two weeks of creating a cross-platform PC/Android C++ game creation kit only to find out at the end that the Joystick is not implement for Android in #SFML
Guess it is time to take a try at it.
Just published a short #cpp article that benchmarks the AoS (Array of Structures) layout versus the SoA (Structure of Arrays) layout in a 2D particle simulation.
You can try out the benchmark right in your browser!

Selba Ward is now fully up-to-date to use with SFML 3.
This includes all of the drawables, of course, but now also all of the documentation, examples and tutorials!
In addition, there are a few new drawables since I last posted about it so here are a few GIFs 
What are you working on that uses #SFML?
New blog post: Ruben's Virtual World Project. My longest running game project
I have an extension library for #SFML and as I am migrating to SFML 3, I am very pleased with how much code I am deleting.
Although I don't fancy the chosen names, it is nice to be able to delete a plethora of math helpers for angles and vectors.
With one exception - I have to maintain my toUnit helper, because the SFML implementation chickens out when the source vector is zero 
Meet Sammy! The SFML jellyfish! This was a request from someone when I made raymond, and I really liked how it ended up!
Does anybody have experience with #SFML and #SteamDeck? My game fails to load shaders on Steam Deck, but SFML sadly doesn't seem to provide more diagnostics.
Works fine on a Windows machine, although I've already seen similar issue on some Hyper-V VM. 
My new video for this week:
Comparing latest versions of Allegro, SDL, and SFML.
I made a video last week (scheduled to release *next week*) looking at SFML 3.0rc release candidate vs. SFML 2, Allegro 5 vs. Allegro 4, and SDL 3 vs. SDL2. Just had to re-edit the video to mention the 3.0 launch and reupload. Still will be out next Saturday. ^_^;
I've been thinking about SFML3 so much since making this though and am so hyped to update my chalo-engine next year. :3
SFML 3.0 is OUT! WOOO!!!
A sneak-peek trailer at Christmas Horse 5!
