Development – Scopique's

Core Game Development Platform

Scopique September 15, 2020

You may remember a while back I had posted a lot about an online game platform called Crayta. For a while, I was really into Crayta, learning Lua again and hopefully creating useful widgets that I and other aspiring game developers could…

Developer Confidential: I Just Started Caring About Interfaces

Scopique August 17, 2020

I have a confession: I am not that good of a developer. I have a very high level understanding about how applications work for the most part, specializing in the types of applications I am asked to create for my job. As…

The Satisfyingly Unsatisfactory Approach of Planning It All Out First

Scopique August 9, 2020

I don’t know why, but I was struck with a bit of inspiration while kicking back and doing absolutely nothing yesterday afternoon (literally: I was at my desk, feet up, contemplating a nap). As you might know, I have been semi-obsessed (semi…

Securely Insecure in the Knowledge

Scopique April 8, 2020

Thanks to the quarantine, I’ve watched dozens of videos on 3D modeling with Blender, and despite having watched dozens of videos on the subject before the quarantine, I feel that I’ve got a better grasp of about 75% of the basics that…

Temporary Set-Ups and WomBot in the Wild

Scopique March 10, 2020

It’s Like Moving In All Over Again Monday nights are our usual get-together nights around here. We sometimes gather together in person, or online if we’re A) sick, B) lazy, or C) all of the above. Last night the group was gearing…

WomBot: Feature Full!

Scopique February 26, 2020

A lot has happened since the last WomBot post on [checks notes]…huh. A few days ago. I guess I’m on fire here! Mixer I’ve added Mixer to the announcement functionality. This is way easier than Twitch was, as Mixer’s announcement returns everything…

WomBot: Twitch Go-Live Notifications

Scopique February 24, 2020

One major feature of CouchBot that the Wombattery Community server is missing is the “go live” announcement feature for Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube. API and I have a spotty history. For some reason, I have never been able to get my mind…

WomBot: A Discord Bot for Wombats

Scopique February 20, 2020

My personal Star Citizen focused Discord bot had reached a point where I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. I don’t run my own corp, and my current corp has a Discord bot that’s got more features than mine,…

Population Distribution

Scopique February 11, 2020

A few post back I had written about the Wombat’s brief flirtation with despotism as several of us flocked to NationStates. Since I haven’t personally heard anyone talk about it since those initial days I’m going to assume that I am not…
