Indie #iOS Dev and AR Enthousiast
Working on a new secret App!
One of the big worries I had with Swift from the very start was how long it would take me to get back to building cross-platform apps and games if I adopted it.
Well, we're here, ten years later. Swift is robust, portable, and with C++ support easily handles Windows, the Windows App Platform, and now game dev through the magnificent work of @Migueldeicaza and SwiftGodot. I can build a game in Xcode and Godot that deploys to Windows, Linux and Android using Swift, and that's pretty f-ing cool

If you meet me at a convention you'll unlock a game asset of me at a convention. Are we gonna high five at IndieDevDay in Barcelona?
This blog post on Swift Concurrency by Jacob Bartlett is pure gold: https://www.emergetools.com/blog/posts/swift-async-await-the-full-toolkit
It’s the best and most succinct introduction to this topic I’ve come across so far. 👍
Do I have any follower working on system frameworks at Apple? The GRDBInternal private framework that ships with iOS 18 might well create conflicts for apps that use the regular GRDB.
The symptom is a hard crash whenever one performs a database access through a `DatabaseWriter` or `DatabaseReader` existential - an action that almost all GRDB-powered apps have been doing, for many years.
I'm not sure how to write an efficient feedback about this concerning issue.
It's out! The new update of TerraBrush, my terrain plugin for Godot, that includes better grass 🥳

@me wow this looks very nice!
Will download it to try ;)
My new indie VisionOS game release! Spatial Escape 1 Distress call.
A professor disappeared and the last call was made in a phone booth next the quantum research center.
You, a police officer was sent there, and discovered there’s much more secrets than you imagine.

Anyone need any platforming #gameassets ?👀
I've got 150+ stylised 3d models releasing soon!
The Medieval Hexagon Pack will come with a (free) handy userguide that shares tips and tricks for using them!
Here are some examples
Someone made a CLI to translate string catalogs using ChatGPT 👌

Now that visionOS 1.0 is in the rear view mirror, Apple has a big old graphics frameworks mess on its hands across its platforms that is going to take forever to fix. RealityKit for visionOS, RealityKit for iOS, and SceneKit all conflict with each other. No single one is fit to 'take over’ from the rest; they're all either going to have to be combined somehow, or some new imperative SceneKit-like framework will have to be built. I fear all visionOS RealityKit code is throwaway code
After a little edition of my Dining room:
Defend Cow Castle is a SwiftGodotKit application for VisionOS that renders volumes into the shared space.
Like Unity's Polyspatial, but for Godot, now available on the AppStore:
Congratulations to Therese 3D Studio for the launch!
