 Blzut3 | last couple months have been largely uneventful. Figuring out home maintenance things mostly (had to evict tenant and repairing some things to get the unit available for rent). I did finally get my desk made so pretty excited to not have a bunch of stuff piled on the floor anymore | 23:21:39 |

 eukara | cozy! | 23:22:46 |
| Blzut3 | I did merge ECWolf 1.4 into the S3DNA code base for the Steam release. Piko Interactive for some reason hasn't responded to my request for permissions to upload it though which is odd (we renegotiated the revenue sharing agreement recently so we've been in contact) | 23:26:25 |
| Blzut3 | immediate next issues on my plate for ECWolf though are to fix the issue with the death fade effect not being cleared on quick load and I've gotten reports that ECWolf isn't handling high PPI display scaling correctly. So that'll probably make for a 1.4.2 release | 23:28:15 |

 Vague Rant | What's the situation there, how come there's a license agreement? Piko licensed ECWolf from you so they wouldn't have to open-source Noah's Ark or something? | 09:44:01 |
 taiga | i hate how the game randomly freezes, what's up with that? | 18:11:30 |

What's the situation there, how come there's a license agreement? Piko licensed ECWolf from you so they wouldn't have to open-source Noah's Ark or something? It has always been the case that Piko Interactive doesn't have to open source S3DNA. Piko Interactive/Wisdom Tree has a license for the Wolf3D engine from id Software that covers the id code. Wolf4SDL and ECWolf's additions are permissively licensed. Barring some technicalities in some third party libraries that could be easily addressed there's nothing forcing them other than it is I who maintains it | 17:12:28 |
| Blzut3 | The permissive license also means that Piko Interactive can use ECWolf without splitting any of the profits. They don't have to allow me to sell the game through itch.io. But they choose to do so in return for me providing updated builds | 17:14:33 |
| Blzut3 | There are changes to how the revenue split for Steam works going forwards. itch.io is still effectively my donation box | 17:16:24 |
| Blzut3 | The specifics are mostly a private matter between Piko Interactive and myself, but the new rules effectively put a time bound and is subject to renewal for feature updates (i.e. 1.4 -> 1.5) | 17:20:27 |
| Blzut3 | To be very clear: Piko Interactive/Wisdom Tree have been very supportive of the project. They never had to do any of this. They do it all because they want to. | 17:24:31 |

i hate how the game randomly freezes, what's up with that? I don't believe I've heard of this issue. | 17:27:35 |
| taiga | it's ok, doesn't happen often | 17:28:51 |
| taiga | and the red screen thing? have you heard about that one? | 17:29:06 |
| Blzut3 | yeah, I mentioned it the other day. I haven't looked into the fix quite yet, but I know it's caused by ECWolf 1.4 changing the death transition effect to a post-processing overlay (allows multiplayer to work). There's an edge case with loading/saving (specifically quick load I believe) where the transition isn't being cleared. | 17:30:33 |
| Blzut3 | dying with the fade active should reset it since only one effect can be active | 17:31:14 |
| Blzut3 | (or wait for the fade to clear before loading a game of course, but I understand it's mostly a reflex) | 17:32:22 |
| taiga | one time i had to load the game twice to clear it | 17:34:29 |
