The biggest complaint I have with Tomodachi Life is that it validates that one boss I had that always said "Living the Dream" when asked about how things were going.

I want to stream but it's been so hot I gave up for a bit... As it cools off this week maybe? But the heat totally borked my sleep schedule because I've been up at night when it's not 30-35C lol

Anyone else having issues with images not loading today?

Reposting because of the sony news

You've Broken your last Benjamin

Just... let them? If a company can't survive without a bailout... maybe it shouldn't exist.

It's been mentally tough dealing with and responding to feedback but most of it's fair, so far I think it's just the tutorial doesn't do a good job of explaining how to play well. People are still confused coming out of the tutorial confused and there's no other systems to help people who are lost.

KNEW IT!

Chill demo stream We're going to be playing some Next Fest demos and possibly doing some dev stuff later IDK I'm still not feeling 100% so just a quiet day. www.twitch.tv/snowdrama

I couldn't find a list of EVERY game from EVERY showcase so I made one haha snowdrama.net/blog/2026/al...

Uh oh! I think itch.io might be having some issues again... I know some people are probably having a really bad morning right about now...

Been using my Steam Deck in desktop mode while docked, and its wild how good its been compared to my full i9-9900 and RTX 2070 PC. Its obviously not the same but it comes very close considering my PC was $1400 in 2017 and I only paid $700 for the launch Steam Deck(not OLED, 1TB)

Made a spreadsheet, I have about 140 games on there so far(minus some holdouts I'll get to today) and I have about 50 so far I'm planning to sell. Im trying to pair that down further but the 50 I have are stuff I'll sell on EBay the others... I want to find them a good home.

Today is a wild one.... I'm culling my Nintendo Switch 1 collection, documenting every game I have... and deciding which ones live, and which ones DIE(or get sold) Come hang out and talk games and stuff! www.twitch.tv/snowdrama

Day 6 on my cleaning game dev went well. I added the ability to move items between various containers, and tomorrow I think we start on the dish washing workstation and then we can start connecting all the smaller systems.

I'm back to work on my 1 week jam of making a game that's a tongue-in-cheek game about being an unemployed game dev, and needing to do work while also doing chores, cleaning, and self care. Definitely not related to me at all game... >.> www.twitch.tv/snowdrama

I didn't really plan to learn to build godot from source but I have a major blocker for my (what was supposed to be) a one week project :P

Fedora Media Writer has been awesome, I used to use Balena Etcher, but because FMW will work with any iso, it's been awesome for making USBs for Arch/CachyOS/Mint/Ubuntu etc. I've been messing with different Linux distros to see their defaults and it's been a great tool.

Not me having to implement my own Mathf and other math and data type extensions again in a new engine! (Trying to port some stuff from Unity/Godot but it's going to be a bit I guess before this is all fixed) Today's going to be fun XD

I'm still trying really hard to get to the level where my games are good enough to sell but the resources for the middle part of game dev is MIA. Theres plenty of "my first game" and "research paper on AAA rendering techniques" but no "how to architect your entity system so you can do cutscenss ez"

Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 has been updated! 🎁 Now includes all my latest assets, edits and name changes. Complete changelog: kenney.itch.io/kenney-game-...

Never let anyone talk you out of a quick 2 day game jam. Those 4 months will be the best 3 years spent releasing a commercial game of your life

Why does it suck so much to use the Unity virtual mouse XD God it's so painful for no reason!

The studio I've been working with is shipping soon™ and its tough cause while I'm trying to wrap up and Polish last minute things, I'm DYING to start messing with s&box. I've been watching tutorials in the background and I'm so ready to start on a project with that.

The feedback the mouse wheel of my current mouse is so bad I can't tell when the mouse wheel actually "clicks" to the next segment and it's INCREDIBLY annoying.

Remember ZSNES? The original creators returned after 17 years with "Super ZSNES"; completely rewritten to run on the GPU with powerful and convenient modding support! → www.zsnes.com MVG made a short video about it and it looks amazing! 🤩 www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5tw... #snes #emulation #zsnes

A week of crunch down, I'm EXHAUSTED lol its entirely self imposed but if it works out... I might be okay for a while. I'll slow down this next week since I got some time before the next deadline

Almost forgot: Here's our Ludum Dare 59 game, “Searching for Signal”, a short cyberpunky platformer, made by out team of four spread across 3 time zones in 72 hours. ► ldjam.com/events/ludum... #gamejam #ld59 #ludumdare #ldjam

One aspect of Godot I like is that at least I know where to put suggestions. With Unity it's like... I want to suggest new lifecycle events that would fix a gripe of mine, but... WHERE?! Anyway... Every day I swear I'm getting pushed closer writing my own stuff with some other framework XD

Alright! Another #LDJam Down! #LD59! This is probably one of the best ones I've done, I'm definitely improving, I'm just sad we didn't get dialog, story, and even more levels! But maybe some day?! 🤔 Here's the LD page: ldjam.com/events/ludum... And the Itch link: snowdrama.itch.io/signals-shift

Yeah there's not going to be any playing LD games after I finish... I'm too tired, I'm going right to sleep as soon as it's uploaded.

I'm actively freaking out. Unity consistently crashes on start and I have no idea why, I've deleted cache, cleared Library, restarted, I'm now slowly removing all my tools, to see if one of those is somehow broken.

This morning? * Open Project * Hit Run * Crash WE LOVEEEE UNITYYYYYY

Why is Tilemaps so unstable, tilemaps haven't meaningfully changed in YEARS, how does it STILL crash when I try to do the rectangle placement of random tiles?! UGHHHHHHHH UNITYYYYYYYYYY

Me this weekend trying to summon good things

Update on our #LD59 game: We got basic platforming working and I've been arting my ass off today. Here are some of my artworks for it: #LudumDare #gamejam #Krita

Okay #LD59 Time! Got my coffee and ready to go! Still don't know what I'm making let's goooooo! www.twitch.tv/snowdrama #LDJam #GameDev #IndieDev #IDKMyBFFJill

#LDJam Day 2 begins! I still have no idea what I'm making... soooooo.... Running to get my breakfast and then hopping on stream www.twitch.tv/snowdrama #LD59

#LDJam Day 1 down, I feel satisfies knowing I got some math formulas I needed right first try. And j came up with a hacky solution to a problem that feels pretty smart. I'll maybe make a dumb video about it while getting breakfast tomorrow

We're firing up the stream! It's #LD59 time! #LDJam #GameDev www.twitch.tv/snowdrama

My #LDJam stream will probably start after I get dinner so 6pm EST or so. We'll brainstorm some game ideas and get my project set up! It's time to Dare! www.twitch.tv/snowdrama

Man I know you want to like give rewards to people who engage with your social media and events, but FOMO Twitch drops are not the way to do it. Anything that's time gated and then locked forever is bad and you should feel bad for doing it.

Finally wrapping up work for the week today and getting ready for my #LDJam stream. It's gonna be a wild weekend I think. I'm pretty excited!

Ludum Dare 59 Theme Voting will start shortly (in ~1 hour). I will then take care of the currently outstanding new account approvals, then dive into my backlog of account change requests (in my email inbox). #LDJam

THIS THING ROCKS! This is an awesome animation There is a short animation(in comments) that isn't dubbed, that gives some context about how we got here, but not SUPER important, just another fun watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCh...

I take this as a sign that it's time for me to play this lol, sad there's no GOG version but a steam are fine too. Sucks that it got removed from Google Play Store. This is why mobile needs multiple allowed storefronts. This decision from Google shouldn't effectively nuke the game off Android.

I was not ready to have an emotional roller coaster of a day but here we are! I'm wiped so it's time to sleep and hopefully tomorrow is not... whatever today was lol
