I realize I may no longer be a Pokémon fan nor a Nintendo fan anymore, because I genuinely do not understand the hype.

My queue of papers to write is already dozens of dozens of dozens of dozens deep. The #CodexProcess is basically a generator of papers and I’m the intern assigned to write them. 😭 This might be the world’s longest internship. 🫠

Updated the grass and foliage across the project while working on this riverside cabin area, and finished the next part of the route. Still tweaking the foliage style, but I'm thinking it's better suited to the game. Let me know what you think! [ #ProjectNewDawn #gamedev #indiegame ]

I'm not a loyalist to any country. I'm a loyalist to humanity.

Update on the #CodexProcess series. The work has now reached over 2,200 visible readers. For an independent, unaffiliated project, that milestone genuinely means a lot to me. To everyone who has taken the time to read and engage — thank you. I don’t take that lightly. The work continues.

Made some progress! The second part of the route is done, and inside the log cabin! Next is the cave! [ #ProjectNewDawn #gamedev #indiegame ]

Death itself is not tragic. It is inevitable. What is tragic is an unnecessary one.

Here's a look at the first part of the redesigned first route. I was going to save this for an overhaul look with the rest of the redesigned parts, but I haven't been able to get time to work on my game. So here's a small update. [ #ProjectNewDawn 🌅 #gamedev #indiegame ]

Learning and knowing do not equal understanding.

Update: this is actually finished. I can't seem to push it any further without losing what I was going for.

Happy Pokopia day to all who celebrate

Honestly, echo chambers are everywhere. Your friend group is one. Your family can be one. Your own house can be one. If you’re surrounded by like-minded people, that’s basically the definition. So maybe we should drop the pretense that any platform magically isn’t one.

How I arrived on Bluesky: I had been on and off Twitter for years after Elon took over, deleted and made many accounts as the site got crappier and crappier, missed out on Mastodon, and jumped on this when I heard about it. Bluesky has been more or less what I want out of a social media platform.

Working on #ProjectNewDawn tonight! Aiming to get the next area done. Update soon. #gamedev #indiegame

I've officially made it! People are plagiarizing me and trying to scam me! The parasites have noticed! 🥳

Truth exists to be asserted.

Paper 9 of the #CodexProcess is now live. The Instability of Nothing examines whether absolute nothingness can remain stable. The answer is no. The smallest distinction generates relation. Relation initiates continuity. zenodo.org/records/1883...

Got a new #art piece done, I think I'm going to sleep on it, but assuming I'm happy with it tomorrow, I'll share it.

Question, during the process of me making #art I make a bunch of weird, abstract, and experimental stuff. Would y'all be interested in seeing that stuff?

History doesn’t lie. The powerful do.

Definitely Pokémon HGSS and BW/BW2. The series was peaking around that time. They had gotten very good at sprites. I honestly wish they just go back to 2D sprite style games. They're still struggling with 3D games even now.

Freezing enemies at the right time can result in some...intriguing frames. 👅❄️ #pixelart Shrine's Legacy is on SALE for 20% OFF! Links below! 👇

Tried making some art, turns out it's pretty difficult when all you have been averaging is like 4 hours of sleep for the past week due to a puppy. Brain no work no more

My poor baby boy Toffee has barked so much that he's hurt his throat. I've got a humidifier, a fan, Benadryl, and I'm warming up his dry food and turning it into soup. His Siberian Husky voice and Australian Shepherd energy, can't be contained in his little Pomeranian body 😭😭😭

Not really that surprising. Just confirming what we already know. You are what you ea̶t̶ consume.

So we're really just gonna let the touchscreen be a pointless feature.

Paper 9 of the #CodexProcess goes out on Monday, March 2nd.

Pokemon Ranger!

My wish for the 30th #Pokémon anniversary is the return of the Pokémon Ranger video game series, been wanting it to return for years! Maybe I'm the only one, but the touchscreen is right there. Use it! 😭😭😭

I saw a sign for a "Lion's Den Adult Superstore" on a recent road trip and I was like "Superstore? How many adult products could there be to warrant a superstore?" Turns out a lot LMAO

🔶🔷 "Welcome to Café Ephemera" (2/2) This took SO long y'all 😭 I completely underestimated how ambitious this was for me but better late than never I suppose... [Story Below] #art #illustration #oc #ocsky #digitalart #イラスト #ocart #syzygia

#artshare Lets fight the self-deprecation, post your work and tell me about an art-skill you are proud of 🚫A\I

I'm confident that any movie he wants to do will be good. He's a bit of a perfectionist. He won't release it unless he's happy with it. The standards he sets for himself and what he does are very high. He's proven that with every project he's taken on, and he just keeps getting better and better.

I believe this phenomenon is called the "Sunk Cost Fallacy."

Toffee is getting some good sleep today. I think I finally got him started getting the rest he needs. Got him from overtired back to just regular tired.

Raising my puppy like:

It's true. People truly do love this monkey lmao

No, people haven't disliked her. People barely knew her or cared. People have been tired of what Xbox has been doing for a while, even before her. If she's a scapegoat she's an unnecessary and corporate one.

Toffee finally understands what walking is! I got him to walk outside in the yard for around 30 minutes! He's also tuckered out and sleeping now! Hooray a way to get him the sleep he needs! 😅

Toffee is slightly better on potty training and has gotten a little bit more settled in, he no longer whines when I use the bathroom and close the door. He has also gotten to the point where he'll take short naps in my lap. He's a bit more independent and comfortable, but still needs supervision.

I officially got this little guy named Toffee, yesterday it was a 12-hour trip and absolute chaos. He experienced a lot of car sickness, but he's a bundle of joy and energy. I'll be busy over the next several days, so I'm unsure when I'll publish the next paper, create art, or work on my game.

You can pet the dog in Alterium Shift. This little guy will happily follow you around… but he’s not a party member. He’s just here to be adored. 🐶 #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #WishlistWednesday #JRPG
