"Even with half a kingdom’s worth of distance between them, the mere memory of her stepfather could make her feel like a child again, small and angry and like everything she did—everything she was—was wrong." - Julie Leong: The Teller of Small Fortunes

hoot hoot hooray

How's the difficulty? I wanted to go for challenging ergo rewarding but ultimately still managable. I had to play it a lot though while the game was in development, so it's possible that I made the enemies too tough to handle for everybody else.

Is anyone actively working through Sublight Patrol, the game I launched today? Which mission are you on?

You have a point Rodrigo. There are a few big ticket items I would have done differently if I had the option to start from scratch on the game this year.
Investigating HTML canvas before committing to PixiJS would be one of them.
Building in TypeScript instead of plain JS would be another.

Thank you for reading to the end, enjoy the game, hope to see your name on a plaque in the Hall of Finishers soon! ;)

But after spending months and months more time on it than intended (e.g. the usual pattern in indie game dev :D), I also hold out hope that if I can put the game in front of the right type of nerd, they might get an evening's worth of entertainment out of it—hence this thread.

I've built the game over 7 months (five in 2020 and two more this year), hoping it could serve as a demonstration of my coding skills, to give me a leg up in technical interviews for Front End Developer positions.

Sublight Patrol is an open source and noncommercial (e.g. totally free) side-scrolling space shooter game you can play in your browser on any PC or Mac at the Url above.

Great Egret in Flight at Arcata Marsh YouTube video by Redwood Planet Media

Their posture is really something when in flight, their head is tucked in close to their body, long neck hanging down below, long black legs extended straight back like a free diver: youtu.be/8sEQCFcP0TI?...

I saw Yollo the egret again today at the Danube and it gave me the gift of flying quite close, right through my field of vision...

It’s their day. #SuperbOwlSunday

They joined the army to defend their country and not to make the already powerful even richer, so they are relieved and their heads are full of plans for a brighter, peaceful future.

The soldiers are heading back home after finding out that the war they were supposed to fight in was called off because it was stupid and pointless.

“Did you?” he asked, thickly.

... And she has an eighteenth-century harp crafted in France that feels like I’m playing silk. But she doesn’t want a dog. I think it’s painful because she misses her ex, you know? Even if she would never admit it. Anyway, I offered to take Pierre for a while.”

"“Where the hell did you get Pierre, Chlo?”

“He belongs to my mentor’s ex-girlfriend. She moved to Berlin to play with the Philharmonic. And a cello player.”

“Why do you have him now?”

“Grace—that’s my mentor, who I love. Oh, Sig, she’s a force. Truly one of a kind. ...

Chill Saturday morning. I'm getting really good at entertaining myself. :)

I like that. :D

I saw Yollo again today, hanging out in pretty much the same spot, then it flew up to a tree branch jutting out over the Danube proper.

Probably an awesome view from up there, hopefully it thinks so too and decides to stick around these parts for a while. :)

I've been visiting that spot 2-3 times a week the past couple of years, but have never seen a bird of this type before. I loved the way it moved, unhurried, elegant and delicate.
