Oh man finally figured out how to save and load all game progress woooooo Plus some other minor changes. Starting to feel like a real game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

there's something romantic about the click of your turn signal matching the speed of the turn signal blinking on the car in front of you

The fun part about trying to #gamedev when you aren't a coder is that you have to do everything fourteen times because the first thirteen are utterly boneheaded

Finally got some saving and loading working in this game - currently only for the UI/options. Also the game now tracks your total gems collected here. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

Boy won't we all be jealous of both the people who watch that show

This whole section really.

Every time I'm reminded of Mr. Beast I want to kms, jfc what kind of society do we have where this is remotely acceptable

This would all be way funnier if it wasn't happening in real life, dammit

sherlock: leave me. i must go into my mind palace sherlock, in mind palace: [swatting away the word "PENIS"] sherlock: [swatting away the word "BALLS"] sherlock: [swatting away the word "GOATSE"] sherlock: [swatting away the word "PENIS" again]

Foobaw

I got the currency system up and running. Each game will cost a different amount, and subtract that number from your total earned money. Legendary Lorenzo Land is supposed to be the most accessible one, so I only made it a dollar. #gameboy #gbstudio #indie #indiedev #retro #gbc

Authors, one more time: 📣 ANY use of genai will get you onto my "do not read" list. Cover art, interior art, character pages, extras, bookmarks, ads, marketing material, website, all of it. Using it AT ALL means you do not respect or understand the damage that genai has done and actively does.

I think it's natural and good for ppl making games to be talking about it on here, but there's this fine line between "I'm excited to be making this LOOK AT IT" and "hi i'm a shill with no personality who is begging for clicks and money" and I'm not sure how to navigate that #gamedev

Quick update as I didn't have a ton of time today. Now the game tracks which gems you've collected (all of them will be unique). #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

A few new things today. Options menu now has an audio level feature. Also made "shields" which protect you from one hit (except for OHKO floors). Fixed an issue with save/load feature and made sure the game remembers which shield you have. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

In the process of moving all my music from one distributor to another which is going to be extra tedious

Okay added my first enemy type - hopefully it goes quicker after this. Basically it's a goomba by any other name. Also added a couple sound effects but I don't really like what I did with the jump and land sfx. Will change them asap. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

A lot of work done today, but the big thing is the game now tracks which doors you have already opened, so when you re-enter the room they stay open! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

ayy made doors. They don't open unless you stand nearby with the right key. The game remembers keys just fine but doesn't yet remember if you've already opened a door (I'll do that later). At least you can reopen easily. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #promosky

posting this from heaven. got raptured early because i remembered to share all those jesus memes. i would recommend not eating right before being raptured. it doesn't hurt but it's a little nausea inducing

hey guys when you're raptured tomorrow can i have your stuff

Lots of new things! Added some basic sound effects to the main menu, which also has a crudely drawn title card. Added keys to the game which save progress, though the keys do nothing yet. Also made little decorative flowers which dance! #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #promosky

Happy #screenshotsaturday! The game is just about finished and will likely be released tomorrow or Monday morning. I just need to fix some major bugs. #gbjam #gameboy #gbstudio #retro #indie #indiedev

A taxonomy of the video game production scope #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiedev #gamedesign

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

introducing the "puzzle compass," a certifiably correct and statistically proven chart of my infallible opinion what games need added? let me know, because i am the authority on this purely objective study #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #gamestudies

When people say dems should oppose abortion it is because they oppose abortion, not because of any polls.this isn't even new, it has been true everywhere dems have any chance of winning for decades. Some people get more socially conservative as they age and pretend it is polls or science or whatever

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Video game recommendation: UFO 50. Dang, 50 *good* games in one is a steal. #gaming

Nothing more perfectly sums up these people than the fact that she wrote “Loser” on her own cup and then pretended to be a victim so that she could harass service workers with threats of violence

If you're a white leftist who wants to be an organizer, the #1 way I know coalitions will fail is if you're snide to Black people online. Calling marginalized folks cowardly and stupid for trying to keep themselves safe while protesting? You don't have what it takes.

fascism has one tool and it's a stick and they hit you with it and when you say stop they say no and hit you harder and when you look like you're gonna fight back, they hit you again and when you give in they keep hitting you until you're dead there's no middle ground with fascism

Continuing to build out pieces of the world. Also fixed up the popup text boxes, which display correctly no matter how much text I put in them. #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #promosky

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Created a popup text box. It's designed to figure out the size of the text and make the window change size accordingly. Hard to show that here though. #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #promosky

I think if you're at all a rational person you recognize that there is nothing that this administration would not do. No censorship, no murder, no corruption that they'd stop at. They're 100% all in on this and Republicans are 100% on board with it. All that matters is how we react.

It will always be the dumbest weirdest grossest worst person. Always. Whatever the position in question. It’s a flex; “the worst of us has beaten the best of you”

Some minor things today - added a neat little particle effect when you hit a checkpoint flag. #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #promosky

Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

why do they call it a tgirl when you take T out of girl put E in girl make girl E into girl E girl no more T

Added a cooldown bar which shows up to tell you how long until you're able to "burst run" again. Cooldown bar works with all palettes too. Also added a tiny particle effect when you land on the ground. #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming #promosky
