Uninstalled. Looks like fun but I let Google choose a hard password and there's no way to paste it into the Android app. I tried typing it but had to swap back and forth between apps to get all the pieces of the password. The game clears the password when I got back. Last chance change password but I don't see how.

#72You seriously may want to reconsider the name. ‘Angel Dust’ is a slang for the narcotic PCP - I immediately was confused and only clicked so I could tell what it actually was. Not sure how this didn’t come up before? At any point in development? O.o Edit: whoa, downvotes, really? Care to say why? This is a legitimate concern?
Who cares? There’s a front page drug positive post on HN weekly. Kids don’t know this; and it doesn’t really matter. It’s like getting up in arms about the group Crystal Method... just silly. Drugs aren’t as bad as the 80s DARE programs brainwashed people into thinking

#73Earlier quoted context omitted.
Minor nit: PCP is a dissociative hallucinogen, not a narcotic.
"Narcotic" has shifted, at least in American vernacular, from meaning drugs that induce sleep to meaning any illegal or Schedule-I drug. Merriam-Webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/narcotic Collin's Dictionary: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/narcoti... Edit, regarding "no one calls marijuana a narcotic": Not sure why I was downvoted, considering that we are discussing angel dust…
No one calls weed a narcotic.

#74What are the advantages of using your custom engine instead of unity, unreal engine?
Lower system requirements is one that's pretty obvious.

#75This looks cool!
250K players is impressive. Are those real players or bots?
Interesting to know more about performance too, what is your rate of update per second? How long does it take to process a tick?
Do you have a tech blog? Would be really interesting to learn more.

Cops sure do.

#77This is the most interesting thing I've seen in a while. Props man. Good work.
Thanks so much! Finally sharing the end result of all my hard work feels really good. And seeing so many visitors swing by on the livestream is insane!
Yeah. I'm definitely going to follow you for more updates. It will be interesting to slowly learn from you via osmosis as I've been interesting in developing browser games for a long time. Seriously impressive to see what today's tools enable creative people like you to do as a team of one.
