Hello World!

New website

After using WordPress for many years, I decided to go with something simpler, that would require less resources and that could be easily used with Markdown & Git. I first stumbled upon Hugo, which is recommended by many. But I found it too complex and cumbersome to set up, and I couldn't get any of the themes I found to work the way I wanted.

So, I looked for alternatives and found Zola (it always makes me think of Meredith Grey's daughter 😅), which is similar, but has been easier to use so far. But what makes my website look so sharp is this amazing theme called Duckquill by the awesome David Lapshin .

The git repository for the Zola project is hosted on Codeberg and I have a Jenkins instance running on my server, which pulls the latest commit, runs zola build and then pushes the artifacts over FTP to the web hosting service.

Blog

Though I've used WordPress in the past, I haven't really used it for blogging. But I'd like to change that, and write a few posts about video game development tricks, techniques and ideas. My main objective is to try and give back a little bit of the knowledge that the game development community has offered for free for so many years. One great example of such valuable source of information is catlikecoding.com , which I can't recommend enough.
