Social media adds constant wear and tear to my brain and soul but it’s also the only way I can find out about indie games given few of the websites have the staff to cover them these days. I love blogs, if you have a blog with an RSS feed send me it!
Joel Auterson
Hello! My name's Joel and I'm a software developer. No, not that one.
I run a tiny indie game studio called Bearwaves. I'm also a published poet.
I'm part of the Rare Mammals collective, and am an alumnus of Southbank New Poets and Barbican Young Poets. I work in the games industry.
All notes
Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.
Got promoted to Staff Software Engineer at the day job and found out someone else is making a game in my game engine so that’s a lovely start to my year professionally
Not much of a view from the top of Binnian but still gorgeous to be out in the Mournes on the first day of the year
This evening I encountered a Christingle for the first time. How the English conquered the world I will never understand. Have a lovely Christmas friends, it’s hard out here but I love you and I’m glad to know you.
This dog keeps alternating between loudly snoring and yelling while walking around
Think that’s a new record for the amount of time it’s taken me to get a response to a GitHub issue
Thank you! No unfortunately not, I did apply years ago and got rejected, I’ll need to try again at some point.
That’s my WIFE
Random discovery I’ll share in case it helps a future traveller (or future me): the native C++ SDK for Google Play Games hasn’t been updated to support 16KB page size, making it now functionally unusable. You need to JNI bridge across to the Java SDK.
Another fab Algorhthyms, loved the owl theme even if it was slightly frightening
