"The Art and Secrets of #Karambola" - a digital 92-page #artbook heavily illustrated with yet unpublished sketches, drawings, paintings and locations from the game - is now out!

Agata (@holypangolin) reveals her thoughts on the curious fruity characters’ personalities and backstories, as well as some difficult decisions she had to make during the design process.

The recording of my #FOSDEM talk - a dive into a bug in USB 2.0 and the problem of spontaneous modem resets that used to be experienced on the #Librem5 is now available to watch: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3200-universal-serial-bug-a-tale-of-spontaneous-modem-resets/ #linuxmobile #mobilelinux #usb #fosdem24 #fosdem2024 #fossonmobile #mobile #linux

The newest game I've been working on, ODGŁOS, is finally available to play! A cute owl, the history of electronic music, shapeshifting snakes and intergalactic journeys inside the Polish Radio Experimental Studio - all in a stop-motion interactive story :) You'll need a browser, headphones and 30 minutes to spare. Have fun!

#Introduction time!
My name is dos; some call me Sebastian. I made dozens of small silly video #games and some slightly less small ones too. I'm one half of @holypangolin studio. Sometimes I pretend to be a musician, but don't get fooled. I'm also a living encyclopedia on a Polish rock band "Perfect". Trams are cooler than trains. The more caramel, the better. I've been using GNU/#Linux on #mobile phones for ages, which led me to work with @purism on the Librem 5. btw I use Arch, but I ❤️ Debian!

One more thing to note is that DCP-o-matic's Encode Server just worked flawlessly - you simply launch it on another computer in the network and it automatically participates in ongoing encoding. Turns out that Steam Deck is the most powerful PC we own, as its participation has sped the process up considerably 😆

If you're near Los Angeles County next week, I invite you to visit Long Beach and attend DIY Film Fest, where @holypangolin's short "The Flight of the Quirky Owl" is going to be screened on Sat, Aug 9th ☺️ https://www.diyfilmfest.life/

However, DCP-o-matic had troubles with our slightly unusual source material (variable frame rate stop-motion). The video was blinking.

So I looked into its source code and it turned out that hacking it into duplicating missing frames instead of injecting black ones was a matter of a single line change.

Now try fixing a thing like that when your Adobe suite is acting up 😂

A film festival has asked to provide the video to screen in a cinema-specific format (DCP), "created using a reliable tool e.g., DCP-o-matic".
Deadline: two days 😱

My first thought: great, I'm going to spend two days wrestling with Wine and some barely working "industry standard" tooling, am I?

But looking closer, it turned out:
- DCP is a stream of JPEG2000 frames in MXF container and some XML metadata 🤔
- the cinema expects a ext2-formatted drive 😮
- DCP-o-matic is GPLv2+ and multiplatform 🤩

Aren't you glad that sfghefaes (@dawlkjr27898) has added you to a group conversation on Twitter?

#StopKillingGames is about to reach its millionth signature as we speak, a month before the deadline. A tiny, but very necessary step in the right direction.

If you hurry it may be yours 😁 https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
