Ooooeeeeh. Working for two weeks on this and I just applied themes and such. Also customization for user preferences and so on.

Experimenting with catchall. It is my first attempt and in development: static.molodetz.nl/kaptcha

Ever heard of ghosts?

Yeah. But never met one. I think ghosts aren't supposed to be shitting all day long.

apparently its still a slop by reddit, as I used a colors from a line art that was colored by chatgpt. :DDDD I don't know man, I start to be afraid to use the undo button too. Maybe I have to paint with a piece of coal on a self made papyrus.

Progress of tickets; new Typosauris system, be patient

You created a issue and received the good news a pull request was created? Well, its gone. Not in the merged way.

They were all made by the old bots. The old system was a project manager bot (the one that communicates in ticket) and that gave instructions to the Devplace Code CLI application....

I have released 0.0.5 Today with the following:

Shop now has a Forge - Weapon Cards can be upgraded during the run.
Cheat to get all the cards ( see the main menu )
Worked hours on the weapon upgrade animation while the shop and other menu items are trash. πŸ˜„

I Liberated my PlayStation 5:

Interesting. It doesnt work on newer versions of firmware (like always) but these days you dont even want the updates anymore. Once, it was a nice service. But now, its only for screwing you over.

I have my laptop. It works fine as expected. Now, there are several bios updates avaiable. Only benefit: very theoretical security patches. Why would i risk my perect working machine for that.

retoor retoor

The shifts in politics, new norms, and societal stuff would be interesting.

iOS app create post + attachment

Today I added post creation and a nice attachment picker.

Text entered here will be remembered in case the View is closed or the app is killed.

Creating polls and linking to projects will come later.

retoor retoor

I like it, it's smooth, clean, close enough to real app. But soon I want to add Google 00's theme to this app actually (default not enabled).

Actually, you don't have to limit anything, server will tell limits.

devlog 02 08 2026 - The Shop

I have completely reworked the Shop, and it will receive a Forge where the weapons can be upgraded ( run-scoped buffs ).
Also lot of timing issues and bugs are fixed.

I count to do a new version release tomorrow :)

retoor retoor

Yeah, I underestimated the value of the feature and here it's probably even more needed than dR.

please deliver the paste image upload feature... its so labourous to save on desktop and find it and upload every time

Great! A huge amount of conflicts

Amazing development! But...

As you can see, there are conflicts. Every resolved conflict will have to wait for the build to run. That is fine;

but it means:

  • one ticket per hour, but preferably our buildserver x4 (will look at it tomorrow)
  • no problem in normal situation, it is not...
retoor retoor

Like devRant did BTW, we were actually just missing a notif. But admins of this site drown in notifications. But they're all configurable for everyone under the profile tab.

D-04got10-01 D-04got10-01

Was kind of annoying never knowing that somebody posted a new comment. But you could've always rejected the bot's pull request.

Ha, no, I even helped with it, it's not merged, it did not do a very good job.

Sorry I just cant resist...

Will this game ever be released Beyond The Gates' OS?

blindxfish blindxfish

Long way to go, I need to set up the website, steam page, and finish 8 more circles. I want to have a demo in September -maybe. And full release probably next year September.

retoor retoor

Did not have time to test your game. I hope Sunday I find some time.

Oh my god, I have to review this all. These are all the pull requests the autonomous build system did create.

Oh fuck no, I gonna sleep. Good night.

dora dora

And what a sleep it was, until 13:00. That's how we do.

D-04got10-01 D-04got10-01

Sounds like a chore.

dora dora

Yeah and they have all merge issues what that system does not allow to fix yet. So waiting for new system. This is maybe all for nothing.

CLOSED EARLY BETA TEST KEYS !

Yuhuu.

Please drop a comment if you would be kind to test the game.
Current requirements: Steam on windows. - This will stay like this for a while as managing different builds would be a nightmare at this stage.

I haven't posting for 2 days as nothing visual is happening now I feel worth to share but a lot has happened:

  • Hired a Professional Voice Actor who worked on Path Of Exile II, Clash...

I don't want to force you to do it just because of me, but I will check it out!

New quiz system for all sorts of quizzes

Coming soon (see pictures).

The best part is; you can just ask Devii Please create me a quiz about systemd configuration.

Cool stuff?

Even more pictures, kinda useless, since it is built and deployed already. Small bug left.

D-04got10-01 D-04got10-01

I'd definitely suck at a systemd quiz.

Me too, systemd is famous for doing too much. It probably has many features that we don't know.

DevPlace has soon three month birthday wherefrom two in production as you can see on my profile. I am very happy that it still has the quality / consistency I want. It is a marathon and pre discipline. But as you know, I practised a lot πŸ˜„

Tuesday is the UI day

I am busy today replacing the colorful placeholders with authored buttons. Also to mention, fixing the AI glitches sometimes takes 2x the time then just painting it myself...

Project: Beyond The Gates
retoor retoor

Someone should do something about this. I wish there was a procedure to make it happen.

Lensflare Lensflare

@retoor @blindxfish
I'll open an issue ticket

https://devplace.net/issues/150

It only addresses the issue with the missing link, not the edit issue.
@blindxfish feel free to make an extra ticket for that.

retoor retoor

That's the procedure indeed. Yeah, it takes some time before the autonomous build system works. I expected it to be more challenging financial, but in reality, it is time. For example, having the tests broken will affect every ticket. Every ticket builds an hour. Repairing a build can cost two hours and before you know it, you're a day further. It is an autonomous development team that comes with basically the same issues / limitations as with working with a team in real life. At this point, i could've done it all myself better and faster. But i'm investing. The build system is project agnostic, so it is a complete product on the side. Critical bugs i will just do myself indeed.

Oh even worse, i just realize that most tickets are picked up by old system. Chaos. First system was a successful POC made me believe it can be real.

iOS App upvote/downvote & polls

Implemented today:

  • upvoting/downvoting
  • polls
Lensflare Lensflare

In the ios app images are really just previews. tapping on an image opens it in a fullscreen view where it can be zoomed and saved/shared.

Videos just show thumbnails. When tapped, opens in a fullscreen view and plays.

I did this change because on iOS I think it's better.

Yo already admitting that prompting is a skill? :D Yeah, abot spervising code.. At a certain moment yo do it barely. Yo tink to know te llm at certain point. Then it goes a few time terribly wrong :P Bt in the end, yo wont check all anymore.
