I have been working on my indie strategy game "Virtualord, The Virtual Conqueror" for 300 days straight!
A lot has happened since I started and now I am close to release a new alpha build that will be followed by a first public demo next month. 💪

Our @gameloopit Discord server is TEN YEARS old today! 🎂🎁🥳
I think it's one of the oldest communities on the platform that is still going strong, considering Discord opened just six months before. 😱 – at Granada, Spain
The recording from my /dev/games 2025 presentation in Rome is on YouTube! 📽️
It's a one hour talk about the last 14 years developing the @nCine2D, with a lot of interesting technical challenges.

Experimenting with CPU topology discovery for my job system, trying to choose smarter pool sizes and pinning.
Current approach:
– spawn workers only on physical cores across tiers
– leave fastest core unpinned
– don’t pin main thread
– pin workers from 2nd fastest core onward
Wet Paper is out!

I’ve added support for a bunch of environment variables that you can set to override any run-time value in your @nCine2d AppConfiguration.
Things like fullscreen, VSync, output audio frequency, the data path, the log file name, and much more.

#GameDev – at Granada, Spain
Last Thursday I gave a talk at /dev/games in Rome about my 14-year journey developing nCine, a 2D cross-platform open-source framework.
If you're into solo engine development or open source, here are the slides:

Now that @clion_ide is free for non-commercial use, you don't have any more excuses not to try it with the @nCine2D.
