Marathon...

I've been working on a "Proper Sokoban" in godot as a warmup this year, I've really come to like the genre recently! "Proper" meaning state based, loading levels from text files, I just implemented ctrl-z functionality! It's been a good workout for my knowledge of array searching

I hauve covid so I decided to go and get a bunch of achievements on Original Hollow Knight (namely the sub 10 and sub 5 hour speed-run achievements)

I really bought Morsels only to really start thumping my head against Nuclear Throne due to the big hundo update, MAN I forgot how good of a rougelike this is. Breakneck. I've unlocked most of the characters despite not clearing a run yet

Made the only risk of rain 2 tierlist that matters. tiermaker.com/create/risk-...

Working on a deltarune theory of my own. gonna blow the lid off this whole thing. 6 7 theory. It's the idea that chapters 6 and 7 are going to release concurrently like the 3 + 4 release.

oh fuck yeah, kingdoms of the dump, AND Morsels same day? *I am immediately squished into a disk by the risk of rain 2 DLC*

all my wisdom teeth... gone...

fuuuuckk videogames are good

Undertale stream looked crazy, had a ton of awesome bits and from what I've seen had a really sweet and positive message about creation; that I've kind of been struggling to resonate with due to the difficulties of actually making and finishing projects in the tedium of being an adult.

OH I also started a new job this week! Feeling relatively positive about it, still kinda working out how i'm fitting in gamedev + other obligations with it but wow it's nice to be employed and doing things.

Silksong First Impressions : Surprisingly, more like Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy than I was anticipating

Been trying to get a perfect run on Night Manor, I like how it feels legitimately tense when the stakes are losing All of the progress, don't *love* how confusingly the house screens are laid out because accidentally back tracking during a chase is a death sentence

No media thread this year so i'm just posting films I've seen recently like releasing cats out into the wild

Perfect recreation of the original naked gun movies tone and joke frequency, communicated to a modern setting, MAN I missed this stupid ass type of comedy film. Feels like a certified classic on first watch

AWESOME movie, felt a bit grug-caveman like walking out of the theater because I was too on edge/scared to pick up on all the cool symbolisim and communicative camerawork everyone was talking about lmao. INSANE ending

Been in kinda a weird place creativly lately, been feeling disconnected in most senses of the word. Also kinda bummed I flunked out of GMTK this year, loved the concept I came up with but couldn't get it working for the deadline. bleh.

"jockington is the tail of hell" is the new "onion is yellow diamond"

beat cave story yesterday

Rougelike City.....

alrighttt that's Tipareths core meltdown cleared. only took 107 hours and losing most of my decent EGO gear and employees letsgooooooo

Man I can never quite draw anime girls without thinking about that one chapter in franken fran where a girl The Substance's herself into not having a lower jaw

the wasp rays have invented lock-on laser tech it's over for us my good buddies this is the end farewell wait actually nvm i dodged it all good #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #godot #godotengine

I've Witnessed

Working with diagetic UI i've somehow managed to recreate my actual desk-keeping habits. Ehhh I need this corner free so I'll just pile up the manual and compedium buttons on one side. Ehh need mouse space free so i'll just put all the sticky notes in a pile. lmao

when the character you like aestetically (read: need carnally) the most in a fighting game is a technical mixup factorio builder type and not a grappler with an ABC gameplan I do go through the dmc3 orb faces

Loved the mobile port of this, it put a ton of thought into the ergonomics of control to make something really comfortable to pilot

I'm ruining your S-rank run. #Deltarune

CLEAN

JUST FINISHED CHAPTER 4 THEY'RE CALLING IT THE BEST VIDEOGAME OF ALL TIME. GOD.

oh my god that was so good. Instant get when it launches I loved that. Not only is the mechanic genius it's also really intuitive and controls well, has a lot of little allowances that smooth things along. Also MAN what good level design, both aesthetically and the actual layout/puzzles (MotionRec)

Got my Responsive Web Design certification done! felt like that took forever, but It was good get acquainted with HTML/CSS again after I forgot most of it from highschool lmao

New jam entry! Mirror Museum : A lil-collectathon with some strange rooms and odd powerups. lesliellama.itch.io/mirror-museum

I can't delta the rune until the weekend since I'm busy with a jam entry, it's a weeklong one and I only just realized what the hell I should actually be doing with the limitation on day 6 so prayers are appreciated

Happy pride!!! I should look up and see if there's any local events near me, feel like that'd be nice.

That was so cool! I've been posting a lot about stuff I've played recently, ah well, causalities of not doing a media thread this year. Anyway, Formless Star was extremely whimsical, I loved how much character every creature had. Favorites were #07 and #08

MUM GET THE CAMERA (Bauhaus Bonk)

Formless Star is out now! Travel to a mysterious ever-changing planet and gather data on the animals that live there. There's 60 different creatures to find, all with unique behaviours and descriptions! Get the game for free (or pay what you want) here! splendidland.itch.io/formless-star

oh wow 1 year on HRT already! Feels good and slightly surreal at the same time.

Checked out the Furi demake, it felt a biiit weird?? so I went back to the original for reference and oh my god it's gas. It's so good. I would have ripped through the whole thing in one burst if I didn't misread The Songs final phase melee prompt and continuing to stall it out & dying

Oh yeah! back from my birthday road trip, was awesome to go meet up with all my "local" friends. Had a great time at Armageddon, exploring the north island, Napier aquarium and Taupō lake, Greytown great as always but I'm also glad I went to Raglan!

GOATED WITH THE SAUCE

new ballionaire update is awesome. sippy cup go beast mode

Man everytime I think it'd be cool to try out unreal for a jam project I remember "no web exports" and welp. Even if the web version runs like hogshit it'd still *work* to get people to click on the project, see the terrible performance but interesting concept and hit that download button

My phone breaking 2 days after watching the new Eddie Burbank video on getting rid of his phone maybe the funniest possible timing. In the phone store like do I even want one. Why am I here.

Won a run of Hyperlight Breaker! I'm keen to stick around to see where this one goes, I think in it's current form they'd be fine to just keep adding Crowns, Zones, Equipment etc until it feels large enough but I'm anticipating some kind of large-scale change to one or two systems

Damn wild direct. Wonder how long deltarune was planned as a launch title for Switch 2 since I have to imagine that's been a factor in the "delays". Anyway, KIRBY AIR RIDE LETS GO

cold, calculating businessman: if you pack in good software for free people are more likely to buy the console and other games for it fun, whimsical game developer: 60 dollars at launch for our tech demo

I REALLY enjoyed Vaingers from UFO50, enough to write out a bunch of thoughts on it (and also draw my fursona in the R-Type Vainger armour) pastebin.com/dSSR5A2n

New jam entry! Action platformer where you can duplicate yourself. You also die in a single hit. lesliellama.itch.io/mirror-blade
