I principally wear a programmer hat at Trinket Studios. Arguably I wear other hats there too, but they're tinier and sillier. Battle Suit Aces, Battle Chef Brigade, and a handful of other Unity tinkerings. he/him.

Byron from Battle Suit Aces is a tall man with prominent mutton chops that almost meet in a mustache. He has an abundance of chest hair peeking out from underneath his cut-up tank top. His expression is stern and his eyebrows are bushy. He is standing in red light and obscuring a mech behind him. The text he is facing toward reads "5 days until launch. Battle Suit Aces. October 7th, 2025".

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT...it's only FIVE days until Battle Suit Aces launches on PC, PS5, and Nintendo Switch! 🀩

Somewhat fitting that days before launch our build machine ran out of disk space. I guess I don't need those Battle Suit Aces (née Mech Trek) builds from February 2024... 😒

Yesterday I was testing the latest build of Battle Suit Aces at the kitchen table and my oldest kid, who was getting ready for grade school, asked what I was doing. I explained and she replied, unprompted, "You're the coolest dad". 😭

(she then also said, "remind people to wishlist it, dummy")

Unrelated to last post:

Just had two keys from my keyboard simultaneously pop off as I was typing and I IMMEDIATELY got the same feeling you get from the dream where all your teeth start falling out.

Surely a good omen.

It was a good reminder that sometimes, bridging a short gap for the design team can be worth a little extra work. Also a reminder that the GUI system can still have (limited) use, even though we've switched over almost exclusively to Odin Inspector for editor UX.

In BSA's Hangar, we have per character offset/scale tweaks. Editing those tweaks involved finding a data prefab via the Project window, or invoking a convoluted debug shortcut to autoselect the prefab. Today I realized we can use the old school OnGUI to expose these tweaks when the card is selected.

Meet Hanako!
USS Zephyr's dependable first officer, Hanako is always calm, composed, and confident, but she's an absolute ace behind the helm. Her professional nature (and fashion sense) can be intimidating, but don't mistake it for haughtiness. She always puts the team first.

A Trinket discord member asked if there was a Battle Chef Brigade dev log, which got me to re-read a bunch of the monthly Kickstarter updates I wrote. I got pretty nostalgic looking back at all that work! Here's a good example:
