In April I showed Scared Little Ghost at the WASD game show in London. If you're not familiar with the show, it's an indie-focused game show that replaced EGX Rezzed. It takes place every year over three days and it's pretty popular, attracting a lot of large publishers like Devolver Digital and Team17. However, it also has a number of smaller publisher and independent developers showing their games ... people like me!
I wanted to do a little post about how I came to do the show, how it went and some notes that might be helpful.

Just a quick one...
Today I made a little tool to convert TTF files into FNT files that the Playdate SDK uses to render text. Unfortunately there are not a lot of tools available that do this, and most of the ones I could find were not designed to be used as part of a build system, so I threw one together using the stb libraries and some basic C that should be portable to pretty much every platform.
You can download it using:
git clone https://git.bts.cx/ttf2pdfnt.git
Details on how to compile and use it are in the C file itself!

Over the last month or two I've been quietly moving a few things over to a personal server I now have that costs me at most $4 a month. There's this journal, which runs on some (very rough) software that I wrote myself, some of my git repos, a bug tracker, a few other bits and pieces. I just need to figure out how to set up the backup service my hosting provider offers and then I feel like I'll be in a place to turn off some of my other accounts from around the internet, chiefly GitHub. The only major thing that doesn't run on this server (and never will) is my e-mail, for which I've been using Fastmail for the last few years, and which I recommend.

Happy New Year to everyone who reads this journal! I wanted to write a January post about… something, but it’s been a tricky one to think about.
