  • Androfoco Dev Diary 7/2/26

    Hello folks how is it going?

    I come today with some fresh screenshots

    I’d say about 3rd of the dialog is complete and in the game. Another 3rd is written but not in the game yet. The final third I have an outline for but not properly written up. Sometimes indie game development consists of hurriedly writing dialog into a spreadsheet using my phone before I forget it while my baby is asleep on me!

    We have 8 chapters for the main story. Our community hack the andro market to make an entry for themselves to hopefully improve their lives. This screen is where they live now. Looks a bit grim eh.

    You can press on their name to get their opinions on what has just happened before diving into the next match.

    It kind of reminds me of a 90s interactive encyclipedia cd rom. There’s like a million of them. I forgot they existed until I’d got this screen working and remembered how much I loved them. Weird eh?

    Why are they wearing old timey clothes, if this is set in the future? Good question

    I know some people will say “aww I wanted to explore their home”, well it looks a little bit like a battle map eh?

    So many crosshairs! They all mean different things. Shout out to Kenney who created the crosshairs and I also am using one of their cursors

    Of course I donated. These crosshairs are looking much better than the ones I made and the variety really got my creativity flowing.

    A Steam Next Fest is scheduled for July and I’m feeling confident that I can get a demo ready for then. It will probably consist of 1 map of online play / fighting against AIs

    I’m hoping for some feedback and seeing how well the online play works in the wild. I can only test with mine and my wife’s gaming PCs at the moment.

    In the full game currently there is a ranked online play where you level up and a custom game mode where you can invite friends and add AIs to the battle too.

    Stollies is an awesome little café in Wallasey village and also Liscard. They have got their own vegan menu. This is the Jurassic Vegan brekfast. Had to get it because it reminded of jurassic park. Was absolutely lovely and I rate it. Would deffo go again and also they were really nice in there.

  • he.net ipv6 certification

    https://ipv6.he.net

    If you want to learn more about ipv6 you can do this free certification and they also give you a free t shirt for completing it.

    badass 🤘🤘

    anyways

    If you want to do the certification you kind of need a VM with a public ipv4 address and a domain name. Ypu could do with some linux skills as you need to set up a simple web server and email server. I used one on hostkey, they were super helpful as they don’t allow SMTP but made an exception temporarily so I could finish the cert.

    Would recommend pursuing this as it was fun. One day I will get round to dual stacking my mikrotik router at home 😭😂

  • Pixel 10 and Anker Zolo Charging Pad

    I wasn’t sure if these would work together but alas they do – sort of

    For reference I used these 2 devices

    Anker 323 Charger (33W)

    Anker Zolo MagSafe-Compatible Wireless Charging Pad

    It works as in it charges but it will occasionally stopped charging and won’t start again until I unplug the charger

    It seems that as a fail safe, the charger will power down before it overheats

    This will leave my phone with low charge for the day 🥲

    As a workaround I just plugged it into a smart plug and scheduled a power cycle for 1am, 3am and 5am.

    This seems to do the trick quite well 😂
