There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

I really like test automation. I just think it's neat! but it's useless if you don't have a build server.

_and too many of you don't have a build server_

I know: you're busy, it's early in the project, silksong is out.

I'll sort it for you, dm me. with indie-friendly pricing!

Do you plan to (or need help with) translating some of this to UE too?

Andrew will absolutely help you achieve all these things, the asset tests alone will save many many hours of QA time and are very easy to set up

Furthermore, anyone “brilliant” would recognize that they’re more effective by not being an asshole, and adjust their behavior.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Sephiroth's Intervention and Moogles' Valor: The SOLDIER Sephiroth lunges towards Aerith Gainsborough, wielding his massive sword Masamune in a downwards stabbing motion. However, a small Moogle floats in the air between Sephiroth and Aerith, and has with a casual flick of its hand parried Masamune in a shower of sparks. The Moogle is wearing sunglasses, and adjusts said sunglasses with its other hand in a smooth gesture. Sephiroth looks down at the Moogle with a small-eyed expression of shock and disbelief, while Aerith looks up at the Moogle with a blank expression.

If you want to chat pragmatic approaches to test automation for both small and big game teams, I'll be at @developconference.com!

I have a battle-hardened plan that takes devs from nothing to effective focused tests, _and_ the knowledge to maintain and extend them, in just a few days.

DM me!

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Suplex and Crucible of Worlds: This drawing is set in outer space amid a black, starry backdrop. The tiny figure of prince Sabin René Figaro is bent backwards in a suplex pose as he grips a massive planet, sending it hurtling towards a second planet. A cross-shaped lens flare marks the space between the two planets as they near imminent collision.

Exploding barrels, and why your first test should be an Asset Test Learn about asset tests: an accessible approach to writing tests for game projects, and a great starting point for people new to testing

psst I'm going to do a proper Professional Thread on this but here's a blog post on asset tests in gamedev, which I think is a really important yet accessible type of automated test that often gets overlooked

Like sure I would probably also scream if I got hit by a club 3 times the size of me but also this is going to happen a lot in the next hundred hours could you tone it down a touch love

Made the mistake of picking the young female voice in elden ring and now every time I'm hit she screams like she has been murdered

A ranking of what fictional characters I am like based on answers I gave to a silly quiz. Dexter Morgan is at the top with 87%, followed by a bunch of people I have not seen the thing they're from. Ender Wiggin from Enders Game is 79%

Did the stupid quiz because I'm a millennial and it's our thing. I don't know 90% of these characters but 14 year old Andrew would be absolutely thrilled at that "Ender Wiggin" score (current age Andrew is just slightly concerned)
