Niah 1.0.0.32 is released! A few bug fixes and a bunch of improvements to the UI. If you're debugging in #gamedev or #cpp, digging through the Visual Studio output window to find your trace messages, Niah can help. https://t.co/tdKTrs9GVi

When I worked on GameBoy games 20+ years ago, we always had in-house sprite editors to add points and rectangles to frames. It seems none of the specialized open source editors have this capability. I wonder how devs using these editors edit metadata such as collision data.

I was playing Brood War campaign and noticed this text bug. I wonder whether this bug has existed for 25 years?

Thank you, I'm very happy to see folks getting value out of it :)
This extension keeps a history of builds and debug sessions, and lets you filter the output window data in a super powerful way. I'm a fan! https://t.co/dbttKBa1Vw

Very happy that our release of @AgeOfEmpires 2 Xbox went smoothly yesterday. Community feedback has been amazing. Thanks to all our wonderful players, old and new! And to the many people who worked so hard for so long to make this a thing. RTS can now reach more people than ever!

Niah Text Filter 1.0.0.30 is out for VS2015 - VS2022. This update includes some optimizations, specifically targeted at the error & warning build output auto filters, which could become quite slow when a project's build output exceeds a few thousand lines.

Last month I started as lead engineer at Microsoft (World's Edge) on the Age of Empires legacy titles. It's really exciting to be working with a very talented crew who are so energized about RTS!

Interesting! https://t.co/TJTdXsl1qk I know I have some ex-SCR QA & dev folks on my Twitter, so I'd be remiss if I didn't ask: "can someone test this 1.16?" (Ducks for cover).

Ugh, this is very sad. Tastosis casting SC = the gold standard for esports. I loved watching every minute of their SCR casts.
Welp I guess the news is out. ASL english casting is canceled. To be clear, this was not an issue over payment negotiations. @afreecatv has decided to no longer support an english production. It's a very, very sad for Starcraft.

Belated announcement, but I left Blizzard late last year. Thanks so much to all of you in the SC community for embracing me and supporting the StarCraft: Remastered dev team over the last (almost) 5 years. BW/SCR will always have a special place in my heart.
