Blockhead v0.29.0 alpha (Patreon)

My focus at the moment is to keep finding and fixing bugs until we have a good build which people can use for extended sessions without crashes or project files getting corrupted.

My guess is there will probably be a couple more builds before we get to that point but please have a try and see what you think.

For more development videos you can check out my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@colugo5172/videos 

I have mainly been making these videos to practice talking because I want to finally make a video explaining what blockhead is and how to use it, which I probably should have done ages ago.

In the past I have not been 100% comfortable with the idea of saying "hey everybody here is this thing I am working on check it out!" as Blockhead has always been broken in some way or other.

Blockhead is obviously still not finished but I hope v0.29.x will be working well enough for people to play around with without getting frustrated.

In the past the main thing that seems to lead to a spike in interest in the project is just small videos of Blockhead that people have posted. I hope once I create a good video explaining all the ins and outs of the software so far and how to use it then people will be able to post more stuff like that if they want to.
