how did this ship 💖

i think i'd like to release the PC edition of HEXA on friday (oct 3)? that gives me time to finish adding mission command, and a couple more days to scout for bugs i've also been prepping the itch page for release — i dunno if wishlisting is a thing there? but if so... go do it! raewtf.itch.io/hexa

apparently there's a pico-8 game jam going on where the goal is to make a game under 1kb. that's 1024 bytes! sounds like a fun excuse to make my first pico-8 game :D though, turns out it's over in less than 24hrs... well, i guess im speedrunning it then! #pico1k #pico8 #gamedev

this aged well

HEXA report: IT'S GOING WELL!! aside from: • custom mission creator • achievements (how will i do those??) • leaderboards (how will i do those????) the game is now up to complete parity with the original #playdate version, PLUS bonuses — unlockable colors? controllers? RUMBLE?? #gamedev #indiedev

scaling: good now!! before: pixel scale defined in settings locked to that res unless you manually changed it no fullscreen or even free resize now: freely fullscreeny/resizable setting now defines *minimum*/launch pixel size on resize, it'll integer-scale as big as it can, and letterbox the rest

the worst part about making a game for personal computers is that, if i try to message any of my friends to ask if they'd like to playtest it, they're gonna assume i've been hacked

HÉXA update — still a ways to go! half the assets need colored in, the mission select is 0% done, and the game softlocks if the timer runs out, BUT... otherwise. the game scene is now fully implemented — and insanely fun, as usual 😎 if i wind up finishing this, how do i release it? itch? steam??

HËXA progress report: i am procrastinating working on the game part. menus are easy! 😇 right now, the title, options, credits, e-manual, and jukebox are now functional with full parity to the playdate version; IN FULL COLOR!! ...which can be turned off too, if you want the authentic experience

i'll reiterate that i need absolutely everyone i know to experience this game, as soon as possible

uh oh. uh oh guys

i figured this out, btw — set my preferred defaults on a folder in the finder, found a terminal command online to find and destroy every .DS_Store (grrrrr) on my disk, and then the part i missed was needing to relaunch finder BEFORE i tried opening anything else XP now my whole disk is nice & tidy!

as someone who owns an honest-to-god virtual boy, and every single nintendo labo kit, i don't wanna hear a FUCKING WORD. this announcement was made for me and me alone

HOLY SHIIIIIT SKYLANDERS SWAP FORCE IS BACK BABY

"yeah my schedule might be a little packed, let me look:" • empire today • deltarune tomorrow "no i can't make it. sorry"

a bill hit earlier than expected, ive got -$85 and no savings 😞

Sorry for the delay - thanks for explaining! Bought the Catalog version and now my new idle screen for when it’s sat in my peg board. Lovely app!

trying pibb xtra — such an enigmatic soda! i was only half-sure it was still even produced; i've only ever seen it like ... on dominos' website, and for the first time in person at the store earlier, so i had to get it to try it's like if dr. pepper didn't go down my throat like sharp gravel. 10/10

every insufferable change discord makes directly benefits shareholders in some way i cannot quantify what was wrong with the 'close DM' button. why did they have to change its behavior 10 years later, move it to the BOTTOM of this new dropdown, and also re-label it so it takes even longer to find

found a good framing device for the fast-driving game: delivering pizzas. i'm very excited about the vision i've got in my head, now all that's left to do is to put it out into the code

need to add a confirm dialog still, but now you can buy and obtain cars from the dealership (car imgs still placeholders)

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

chewing on a new game idea — trying to capture the raw thrill of barreling through a quiet neighborhood at 80 miles a fuckin' hour (do not do this at home ...or anywhere) the road the car follows is relatively procedural (sortawonky circle), and the road is built real-time out of that shape. cool!

accidentally clicked on a youtube "AI summary" instead of the video description and i feel like i need to wash my mouse cursor

touching grass isn't enough, i gotta frolick. i need to blow dandelions and make a wish. i gotta laugh and roll sideways down a grassy hill and stain my clothes green. i gotta hold a stalk of wheat in my mouth.
