@AlexRoseGames @thoughtrise Hmm in that case I'm thinking I could maybe do a combination of chrome remote and a smart plug. Set the bios to boot on power. Login with chrome and then switch to parsec. And hope to avoid bad while loops. Dev on the road.

@AlexRoseGames @thoughtrise Do you remote boot your PC? Love the idea of being away and doing this, but the idea of any power loss etc gives me anxiety that I just couldn't work

@mikeBithell Afraid the experience is unlikely to improve once you start using the software 🤮

For those hit by the horrendous lay offs at Epic and SEGA today, we're in good shape over at FuturLab and have a growing list of fully remote roles available. Very friendly and talented bunch. Stellar place to work! futurlab.co.uk/jobs/

@_GilesArmstrong I'll find you as soon as I'm cool enough to get in. Hopefully before this terrible place burns down entirely

@AlexRoseGames @DannyT @willgoldstone Always wondered why more publishers don't offer a publicly visible 'menu' like this. Here's what we offer devs (porting, QA etc) with a range of how much each will add to recoup threshold and affect rev share. No reason to keep all of this a secret until negotiations imo

“You might lose your mind entirely.” Just completed The Spectrum Retreat for a second time this year, first time on PC. I love this game. My second playthrough took 3.8 hours. @RealEntropy @RipstoneGames #indiegame #indiegames #indiegaming #indiegamer #scifi #sciencefiction

@AlexRoseGames Usually 1-9 are for user defined groups of units/buildings (Ctrl+num maps current selection to number for quick reselection) Outside of groups, just direct left click on building/unit to select

@AlexRoseGames Left-Click and drag to select multiple units (no key needed) Right-Click to give orders (Hold shift to queue instead of override) Hold shift to place multiple buildings This is almost universal in recent years and works well :)

@AlexRoseGames Thanks for guiding me to this harsh realisation ❤️

@AlexRoseGames Yep, you're right. No solution in current form. Gotta expand the Ns into quaternions instead of points and a dir.

If anyone on here is really good with Vector and Quaternion based mathematics, especially in the context of Unity's funky transform stuff, I'd really appreciate a DM❤️
