I am not crying I swear. It took FIVE MINUTES FLAT instead of ONE TO TWO HOURS it takes me on my humble 2018 HP ProBook with an Ultrabook i5.
This is too much for my low cost, e-Waste bin special, shitty hardware-owning me.

A framebuffer is a portion of random-access memory (RAM) containing a bitmap that drives a video display.
Contains art, infodumps, projects and neurodivergent creativity.

the news came, unexpected
doors shut in less than a month
and lights leaving with the year
we thought we had more time, but that was never our decision
begging all gamedevs to hide eggbug in your games, put them somewhere cool. Eggbug could be the dopefish of modern times
literally been since saturday-ish doing the brackeys game jam 2024.2 gamejam and just learned about this 30 min ago. might as well do it, since it fits the theme. gonna link to it here (it ends this weekend anyways, so it'll be here before cohost... uh, yeah.)
comment what dialogue should I put on it. position will not be there, but in random places depending on the storyline.
theme: peace before the storm.
the game chooses one of these storylines at random:
you start at some place in the house, and you walk through it, interacting with objects, and the environment slowly changes until you're in the storm.
looks like a PSX with raytracing on. coming from me, shocking, i know.
it's 50% done. need to finish some assets, music and then dialogue. code is pretty much all done. was gonna do a follow-up and release the framework i built around godot to make the C# version way, waaaaaaaaay less bad, but maybe it won't be done before the read-only date :(
Gustavo Cerati, Argentinean rockstar of Soda Stereo fame (pretty much on the Olympus of music in Spanish) said on his farewell tour of 1997 (ironically, the year I was born):
That last phrase could mean a bunch of things. Total thanks, absolute thanks, the biggest and largest thanks of them all. And it became kind of their phrase after each concert.
It's also a phrase I use a lot to describe a deep level of gratitude for people very instrumental for myself, and those I care about. And for cohost and their @staff, there's no better word I can think of to say in this sour farewell.
cohost meant to me the clear point where I started to figure a way out. No more pity, no more excuses: I started working on myself and looking life a different way. And hopefully, get out of the capitalism hole that it is being marginalised because of being the wrong fur at the wrong place and time.
I felt like this was, in some weird and unexplainable way, a place with a LOOOOOT more like-minded people than anywhere else I've been. I hope I keep on finding these small treasure troves of happiness and empathy. Because, in these days of hardship, is what we need the most.
I am around the internet, same name (sometimes spelt framebuffers due to username being taken... But you'll notice the pfp). Discord (framebuffer), Telegram, and any socials probably in my webpage
Eggbug will live on.
