*extremely mature cackling*

Babe u left ur bike unlocked again 😭

Okay, enemies and the player can now die in my Godot game. Gotta make an attack and a sensible respawn point for the player. I expect for level 1 to basically be playable today.

that one section that makes me question why it exists

Ballet [1/4]

At the doctor for a follow-up for the surgery. Just a couple complaints for them, but otherwise, I'm doing MUCH better.

Yoooooooo, got the variable lane scrolling speeds to work in the Godot project. This is gonna be sick when it's finished.

Dwarf Fortress updates still have the best notes. From this month alone:

I'll stop talking about this one day, but holy crap. After living with pain at about a 4 or 5/10 for several years, having it occasionally pop up to a 1 or 2 is just... surreal.

Time to sleep! Tomorrow, my goal is to have level 1 basically finished - I'll tweak animations later, but it'll be functional

I legit love how my stupid little Godot game is going so far.

I apologize for how absent I've been with streams. Sure, I've been recovering from surgery, but I've also been able to focus on a creative project without having pain—one I want to do that could help secure a fantastic gig. And I'm just SO invested in it right now

Considering he used a PS5 controller to write this, perhaps

Okay, Godot project is making good progress: Variable jump height depending on how long you hold jump Momentum Clearly distinguishable lanes Probably time to work on an enemy to test that out

You know, it's weird being the only person in your family to escape a cult—I mean, besides the cousins who tell you secretly that they've mentally left because they're too afraid to let family know. Wish some could leave, but if they believe they're happy, it's fine.

Current Dwarf Fortress problem: I captured some crundles and used them to defend my fortress entrances. Unfortunately, they reproduce QUICKLY. I've now got 109.

Goal for today: finish developing everything needed for level 1 of my game. I'll have to change a few things around when it comes to collision, but it should be easy enough.

Time to sleep! I'm just excited to get back to game dev again - I can probably start making the first prototype level look like a level.

There! New platformer now has four lanes of movement. There's a little impreciseness with moving up in the video, but I've already fixed that.

Trying to get the lane system in my platformer working in Godot, and... well, THIS was unexpected.

Yeeeeeeep, still no food bux for the month. We'll be able to make it a little longer, and I'm happy to keep going until Democrats get people what they deserve. Might not need SNAP in a month or two, especially since the surgery helped me out a LOT.

So y'all know, the game I'm doing with medieval art? It's heavily inspired by Hani on the Road, and I fully plan on taking my own spin on the game's lane system - genuinely fascinating and surprising it never really got used in other games! Might put some early builds up somewhere as I progress

I'm still just amazed that removing my gallbladder has resolved 95% of the pain, and the remaining 5% could be attributed to my stomach getting used to not having a gallbladder. How the crap did I manage to do anything in that state?

Just over two weeks since I got my gallbladder out. Brain is trying to convince me I need to do more since I feel a lot better, but I'VE ALREADY MADE THREE GAME PROTOTYPES AND AM WORKING ON A FOURTH WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT

Got distracted with Dwarf Fortress again. Really hoping to see some of the siege update - I settled in a slightly dangerous place so I'll get attacked. Also might bring it back this weekend for stream. Been a while!

Hey, looks like a reason not to hop back onto FFXIV. If/When they put their work into supporting humans, I'll consider it, but Square is currently on my naughty list.

Okay, getting the first screen put together for my Godot platformer. Gonna take a while to make all the enemies and art, so it looks like a public broadcast signal. But I'm fully committed to the medieval art aesthetic.

I'm in such a weird limbo. Meeting with the retro game dev CEO guy at the end of the month, and we'll hopefully get the gig—he seems very positive about it all! And this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At the same time, I don't wanna wait three more weeks lmao

I got a key for the game, and I'm having a blast so far! Worth checking out - it's a city builder with a bit more of a puzzle feel, and it's got a style that I really dig. Always nice to see devs take a genre and put a little spin on it. I'll have to dig into it more.

OMG, I think I remember them putting the fence around it. So many people rode it that it got damaged. Pretty sure I rode it as a kid, though. What an ugly dinosaur.

bluesky mods retire bitch

Woo, meeting to talk about game development towards the end of the month! Gonna be with a CEO, but he's pretty down-to-earth, and I think he's significantly younger than me. Until then, gotta get prepared!

Four-suite spider solitaire (grandmaster difficulty on Win10's Solitaire and Casual Games) is still the most frustrating card game out there, but I'm usually able to clear one game in between 20-40 minutes. I'm not kidding. That's how evil it is.

Me, all week

Okay! Wrapping up the Godot 2D platformer tutorial today. After that, I'm gonna jump back into NESMaker as well as my own Godot fever dream project.

Decided to see how my stomach would do if I had More Pizza Than My Gallbladder Had Liked (TM). It's fine. Might be a tiny bit upset, but the people who told me I'd miss my gallbladder are liars :P

i owe so many video game designers an apology

Okay! Godot platformer tutorial is unpolished but mostly working at this point. We've got death, multiple levels, physics, tile mapping... just a few little HUD things to add, I think.

The cuteness aggression I've had for Byte since first seeing these designs a couple months ago ultimately fizzles into this image

Time for more gamedev work on Godot! Just finishing up the platformer tutorial in the next day or two.
