Been trying to write a type reflection system for my C++ project. It would mostly be used for serialising arbitrary gameplay structs to the disk or the network. It's interesting trying to write a system optimizing for minimal boilerplate code (per struct supported) rather than the usual speed/memory.

Plus I got Life is Strange 2 and Cities Skylines over the holidays and both have native Linux versions

Finally upgraded my #linux distribution and the latest @gnome is looking really good :)

Happy New Year 🎆

Don't forget to vote today if you can 😊

Really excited to see that the Hammer editor is making a comeback along with Half-Life :)

Back to working on my engine today, looking at a terrain level of detail system so the visible world can extend out to the size of a whole planet...

At the massive Brighton climate strike today #fridays4future

It's horrible to look at, but hey! #gamedev https://youtu.be/coJ07agTUP8

Some more on my C++ personal project this evening. I finally got the terrain editing functionality to work asynchronously 😊

Travelling this evening and doing some C++ bits and pieces on the train 🚂💻
