I'm a machine that turns cigarettes into chewed cigarettes.

What do you mean it's not spelled creamatorium?!

Epilepsy warning: I flash you

Oh gosh. Oh my. The game jam that requires low effort and expectation is coming along well. It's coming up to the weekend and honestly if you were gonna enter, now it the time itch.io/jam/palette-... Whoops did I just drop that? Would be a shame if you clicked amd entered

Hey so I have been needing a lil break from my main project, so next week I'm hosting a little jam. You can join if you want. Could be fun.

You know what's really gay? Trying to make homosexuality illegal so you're not tempted to try it. Just saying.

Did you know if you wishlist and download the Fist of the Forgotten demo, Santa will put you on the good list this year? Also, the chance of Jitspoe giving you a hug increase.

People have asked how I do a 45 hr job and still put in 40 hours into game dev a week. Easy, I burn out and have no time for anything else. Can't recommend it, but I have my reasons.

Are the younger generation cringe? Yes. We're you cringe at that age? Also, yes, and you still are. You're parents? Cringe. Just accept that we are in a constant quantum superposition of either cringe or more cringe. You are born cringe, and you will die cringe. Just accept it.

Hey @tobyfox.undertale.com I keep hearing stories about your Undertale code. Are the myths and legends true?

Ok, maybe I should be posting these places. Feels good to genuinely giggle at my own jokes

I have a confession. I'm not a Dev, I'm actually 3 trenchcoats in a trenchcoat. Each with their own 3 trenchcoats, until we go so deep in tenchcoats, we have a lil recursion error happen.

If you use Chat GPT, I will look at you like you're the slow kid in class, and our interactions will be all pitty and repetitions.

Just gonna put this here and watch people get called out

We doing lock screens?

If you needed a sign to start that thing or that things are gonna start looming a little better, this might be it, and I believe in you. If not, all complaints go to @earend.bsky.social No refunds, or liability taken.

Y'all really gonna sit there let the nicest guy ever not get wishlists? Wow. I thought you were cool.

Dev Update: Don't usually do these post stream, more of a mid-week "oh I haven't used Bluesky in a bit" kinda thing. But we got main menu working and that one bug is fixed. Turns out I had a copy paste bug...

Also, go wishlist Bear Defense Situation and Providence and Alpine Lake and whatever my game is gonna be called on steam.

Dev update: Yea, it turns out I had the flu and then caught covid. So the brain was foggy, and not a ton of work got done. I did start rewatching Naruto, though. I'm gonna be king of the Hokage yall.

Sometimes, a successful day is just putting on pants, and that's fine. Remember to set the bar low, and you'll always be successful

Well that's sad, guess I know what I'm blasting over the speakers.

I really do appreciate each and everyone of you who inspire me every day. I get so much done because you are all doing cool stuff and I wanna be like you when I grow up

Tried a neat new game dev trick last night. It's super power, but I haven't seen any devs use this. It makes the dev process so much faster and easier. I think it was called sleep.

So how's your project coming along? Are you procrastinating?

Game dev update. I'm stalling. Messing around with drawing to primitives to make the cards look all fancy. It's alot though so I kinda took a week off without anyone noticing

Emoji snakes make me incredibly uncomfortable.

Make it 19 and we got a deal.

Found a patch of hair in a non-uniform place. Do I get rid of it or leave it hopes of reaching Wolfman status?

Might do some Vintage Story for tonights stream. The team over at @vintagestorygame.bsky.social seem to hold a high standard for themselves and that should be celebrated. www.vintagestory.at

I may be sick and starting to talk nonsense. But you know what? Dhrbdksnajdkfksbekzgwbs ehrbqur rnakeb hehsbd butts

I think Sisyphus would enjoy game dev.

Happy 99th, Mel Brooks. With Gene Wilder during the making of Young Frankenstein (1974).

I would like to apologize for the misinformation I had pushed on stream last night. I want to maintain a high standard and that standard has slipped. But i can make it better now by correcting the thing I said. Turns out Mel Brooks is 99 not 94 👀

We did it. Made it to 500. Thanks everyone. Hope you find my antics enjoyable. I did have a thing I was gonna do at 500 but for the life of me I cant remember what that was.

You know what? If you're a game dev and not a degen, I don't think you're real. Also, don't give me hope I'd you do exist

And a game dev game update. I work with primitives now, the shape kind. The people working on this game are degens. Especially me.

Ok, so game dev update. I'm sleepy.

Some will say this photo is AI generated.

Can't wait to look back on those last two posts and cringe one day.

Couldn't bring myself to post the first pass. The card art here by @slugsinspace.bsky.social really makes it seem better than it really is

Spent forever coming up with the overall playfield layout. Maybe a few tweaks to go, but over all happy with the result

Do I just use Bluesky to brag about how happy I am with my projects and stream? Yea its called marketing. And thats gonna be my excuse for showing excitement publicly from now on.

Finally seeing the results of the work ive put in over the last 3 months. New Status effect and damage types are easy to implement. So now new cards just work out of the box when added to the card list.

I'm thinking that this aesthetic will really help players understand the cards more with less confusing visuals to get in the way. Were here to put the soul back in soulless.

When I talk about Chapels art, I'm usually thinking of this piece. I think it speaks for itself.
