Anyone up for a stream this Friday?
Unsure yet if it would be a #gaming, #webdev, or #gamedev stream. Lots of varying things to work on for sure, but also it's the holidays.
Open to suggestions!
Follow me @ twitch.tv/crimsonstrife and/or youtube.com/@crimsonstrife

Presently the plan is to start streaming Saturday morning (EST) and go for most of the day, but it'll really depend on the interest. We'll be doing mostly #webdev on the website for @helicalgames.net
Pop me a follow over at twitch.tv/crimsonstrife to be notified if you're interested!

If you'd be interested in catching me live, I'd recommend tossing a follow over on Twitch for the notifications! It'll likely be late evening EST Friday, and/or possibly most of Saturday depending on interest level.

He probably doesn't want it, and I have no idea if he'll post much, but you guys can also follow @englethebert.bsky.social, he's a part of @helicalgames.net too.

I've seen a few people expressing interest in #webdev streaming/streamers instead of just #gamedev. I need to setup a site for @helicalgames.net anyway - and can't really show off Forge atm, so would there be any interest in a #webdev #stream this weekend probably over on
twitch.tv/crimsonstrife ?

If you feel oppressed elsewhere, everyone is welcome in my communities. And if I see hate it'll be a swift way to earn a block and a report.

The targeting and bullying on other platforms is unacceptable. Hopefully we keep Bluesky clear of that kind of trash behavior.

A brief thread on alt-text.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

I want to circle this thread again for my fellow Indie devs since my follower count has grown since I posted this.

If you have wishlist features for project management apps aimed at game dev, but also just software/app dev in general, let me know!

This is now easily the platform I have the most followers on. And it has grown exponentially in a short time.

I'm sure the lists I am on helped immensely, so it's not very organic, but if you're taking interest in anything I post I appreciate it!

I'll have more interesting things to show soon!

Still getting the hang of this character limit. Here is a longer thread to explain the plan and features of "forge" and what we're referring to internally at @helicalgames.net as the "foundry suite" of apps.

Already submitted for both this account and @umbraforge.com after you told @crimsonstrife.bsky.social about the feature. Waiting on verification currently.

But thanks!

Let me set expectations for what "forge" is. Think of Trello, but with a few more Jira features thrown in +
β€’ self-hosted (we have no plans for Saas)
β€’ open-source (unclear on the final license-specifics)
β€’ low-cost (we're aiming for a one-time license fee or donation model)

couldn't possibly have predicted that an image with a transparent background would default to black...thus hiding the also black logo 🫠

We don't have a name for it yet (not a marketable one anyway), or an ETA. The days are still early, but it is being developed to support UmbraForge, and will comprise of several apps designed to work together.

The first is currently just codenamed "forge" and is the core of the system.
