@chipwits very cool. I have fond memories of the original game on Macs. However as I remember it the game or at least the version we had worked on our Mac 512. But then failed when we upgraded the hardware to a Mac Plus (can’t remember if there was also a System update involved I was just a kid). I’ve long thought the original game would make an amazing modern game and have been surprised it never got ported to later OSes or systems.
@Rycaut We're doing that, now! You can sign up for our beta at https://chipwits.com/ - still free tickets left. There was an earlier attempt with ChipWits II but it never got off the ground. We're adapting the new ChipWits for modern audiences.
All the puzzles for the new game have been planned! It's bigger that our previous ones, and it warranted the use of a good old Puzzle Dependency Chart™.
I've spent the last couple of days working on the 🇮🇹 Italian 🇮🇹 translation for my latest game "Not enough time", so I decided to write a blog post about the approach I used to make the game translation-ready (mostly so I won't forget again how it works, next time I make a game): https://blog.apicici.com/posts/2023/08/game_translations/
Among features and fixes, this release brings the ability to leave comments on content item previews for better collaboration and streamlined review-processes. 😊

@Middaparka heh I did use it as a link shortener for a while but not any more. I do use it for email. Wish I’d bought jo.hn when I had the chance though.
it's gonna be a pain in the butt to figure out a fix for this, especially since it looks like even though I'm using a python.org Python binary it's trying to pull in stuff from homebrew, which is of course never going to be portable or multiarch
okay so as a temporary "fix" I uninstalled homebrew from one of my Macs and used that to do the build, completely free of /opt/homebrew taint. Hopefully that works.
But the solution to "I want to build a binary that works on all Macs" should not be "own two Macs"
Happy Monday!!😁🎉
I optimized the bounty system further and have created a really dynamic solution! Check out my newest #Devlog! (slightly more technical than normal). https://vinciware.com/pressing-buttons
