Top tip: Unity NPC prototyping is always more fun with googly eyes.

After several weeks messing around in Unity, I'm beginning to actually like what I've been putting together.

Free PC Games - The Best For The Broke

Sales season is officially over! But a reminder that you don't need money to be overwhelmed with cool PC games.

I still need to catch up on updating it, but my big list of Cool Free PC Games is ever-expanding, now featuring the massive & rad Quake Brutalist Jam 3, which is surprisingly standalone.

That's the cutest little starship I ever did see.

Come into some Christmas cash. Someone talk me out of immediately buying all the #Rimworld DLC...

Such an ambitious game - Whenever I think he's done with it another update appears. The time travel simulation is also absolutely magical bonkers.

Honestly it's such a great set. If you get the chance it's definitely worth grabbing.

Happy holidays to the creators of my daughter's favourite game. We both can't wait for full release.

That was my immediate thought. Still suspect we might see a Myrka, but I have a funny feeling it'll look a little different than the last time we saw it...

Rainbows are awesome, and here's one of them over some houses.

Rainbows are awesome, and here's one of them over some houses.

Thought we could maybe do with cheering up, so I refracted some sunlight through billions of suspended water droplets.

Hope you like it - I can never remember what order to put the colours in and always end up having to sing that damned song...

Allowed my son to select my next destination in #NoMansSky.

The planet he selected was strangely inhabited by sentient lightning, so apparently I have a pet energy being now.

I suspect he may be a glitch, but I hope he sticks around.

Like all the best aspiring writers, I spent the whole day procrastinating and didn't write anything whatsoever.

I blame this on the new Majuular video covering Serpents Isle, and the fact that Hitman VR is now good.

Hahaha! Spotted that change straight away. I like to think they had Harry Kim in an EVA suit outside with a bucket of paint like the opening to Red Dwarf.

This is a test of the national alert system.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!

The test now concludes.

I'd even be happy with the option to just add static crew to the empty chairs to give the suggestion of a populated ship.

So today I learned that Steam Trading cards still exist, and apparently I have over 300 of them. Guess I'll be putting those on the market then...

A starship descends through the clouds over yet another strange new world.

May have become a little obsessed with No Mans Sky. Was never a fan of the tiny starships the game gave you, and now they've gone and added 'build-your-own' corvettes.

Wish I could have an NPC crew though...
