Latest git commit message:
Death screen now connotes neither heaven nor hell but only the nothingness of oblivion.
@dsina In my current project, I tried to have unit tests, but after several weeks of trying the student programmers revolted. They complained that it felt like the tests were the goal. Now we're back to manually playing through the game to test each change. It feels absurd, but as far as I can tell it's the industry standard.

What are your testing practices? Do you do unit tests, system tests, manual tests? Do you simply never make errors?
I write unit tests for all my systems, which are usually quite small.
Now I started doing some larger scale tests. In those I mock nothing, just feed user inputs to start abilities etc. I hope this will help me detect regression errors from big changes earlier. I want to check is the functionality is still intact. I expect the unit tests to fail anyway.

You can access Mastodon through a web browser.
There is an official Mastodon mobile app and other mobile apps like Tusky.

@HumToTable Glad everyone's okay, but are you sure the doe wasn't just trying to boop her nose? I mean, who wouldn't?
@loyalnewb @ShaniKom @Fragglemuppet Tusky is working well for me.

One of the best posts I've seen on here was: "Mastodon is for what you love, not what you hate." I for one am devoted to keeping it that way.
@hellomiakoda Huey Lewis famously had the same problem.

@teresa_athome Yeah, it's meant for a laptop or desktop. Game 3 is likely to be mobile.
