Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! In my last post, I mentioned something about logging my programming time. I’d like to expound on that a bit more. I’ve only been doing it for a little under two weeks, but basically…

The ginormous engine rewrite has been underway from the LD31 experience. Currently, my ECS is going by the name “Flux,” a name that is meant to reference the transformative nature of game objects and ECS in general. As part of getting…
