This just in! Monchers have been spotted relaxing in inner tubes! Thwimbly can bop them from below to move them around a bit but watch out! Jumping into them from above can spell a nasty surprise! Made in #TIC80 with #RES64 palette

Picofoil is (somewhat) out! The deadline for the paper I'm writing on it is tomorrow, so the toy needed to be released, even if it still has some major accuracy issues. ok back to writing the paper :) #picotron

It appears that the airfoil is preparing to make the jump to lightspeed. This is not physically accurate, but it is mesmerizing. Still a lot of work to do. #picotron

I'm not going to say its working as intended, but flow field visualization is getting somewhere. it's at least not crashing anymore, which is more than I could say for a couple hours.

Realizing that Picotron's trigonometry functions are optimized for gamedev in ways that break more "academic" math operations. Having to try and write my own converters to convert the equations from Anderson's Fundamentals of Aerodynamics to work in Picotron. At least I have clickable buttons tho

i forget sometimes that indie can mean someone who goes to an office and gets paid a salary and has company health insurance. in my mind it will always be one guy, working alone, with a leather jacket and a broad brimmed hat, swinging across spike pits with his whip, hating snakes,

Managed to convince my professor to let me do my final aerodynamics project in #Picotron, so now I have about two ish weeks to get thin airfoil theory working in here. I currently have NACA airfoils displaying, next steps are lift coefficients and streamlines, then a better UI

Current scope target for the next demo is: The entirety of World 1 (4 levels) 1 Kaizo Challenge level (seen in video) 1 test level with a variety of lategame mechanics to get some feedback Aiming for demo release late December, but that depends on wrist cooperation

autumn trees in Thwimbly 1-1 are lookin pretty good if i do say so myself.

I wonder if this is part of the reason why many modded SMW assets integrate so well into the game. Makes me curious what a graphics swap would look like where everything was converted to one style.

Finally finished this song/music video I've been chipping away at since summer 2023 or so. idk what genre to even call it youtu.be/OIgWk8Dk2I0

Doin some videomaking again. First Devlog on Thwimbly is up, talking about what the game is and an overview of what my next steps are in development. Link in thread.

the key to game design is to imagine the target audience for your game and then imagine how you would make them the most upset

making moves

at least i was able to use the time for something productive

Rebounder is announced! Wishlist it on steam, or play the shareware version right now: reboundergame.com/shareware

what if i told you in the next update thwimbly can wear the 7 grand dad hat

THE THWIMBLY DEMO HAS BEEN UPDATED TO 0.1.3! Featuring better controls, more graphical juice, and better music/SFX integration. Made in #TIC80 with the #RES64 palette Free download, link in replies

Spent a bunch of last week at #sgdq2025 the most fun i've had in years. brought my 3DS along to streetpass folks and took this selfie on the (admittedly lores) 3DS camera. Definitely want to go again, definitely gonna pick speedrunning back up, it's been too long since i've had a speed game

This clip cannot capture just how loud the chanting was in person. Probably my favorite single moment of the whole week, absolutely hilarious

Spent this week watching GDQ and working on JUICE for Thwimbly. Trying to get a vertical slice of the first world done soon! Built in #tic80, I'm trying to push this fantasy console as far as I can graphically. Having only 32 colors is tricky!!

RX7s are some of my favorite cars ever, always a pleasure to see them show up on my timeline

Working with two of the oldest mechanics in Thwimbly today, Doublejump tokens and pipes and doing some rework to make them more usable and versatile The jump tokens look like candy, I want to eat them, really happy with how my shading has improved over time Game made with #TIC80, palette is #RES64

Finally getting near photorealism in my Blender Renders. It's the little things that make all the difference. The background was just downloaded from CGtrader, it's not as polished as optimal, but its decent enough at first glance. Render is of a new 3lb battlebot for competition : )

I told myself I'd finish this game before Picotron came out... That was like three years ago and I'm still nowhere near finished. Remaining major goals are level design, music, and the world map. Made in #TIC80, using the #RES64 Palette :)

Gettin the new profile set up with some stuff, here's a recent image of my game Thwimbly, a 2D platformer made with #TIC80 Just added borders to make entities more readable, it's pretty charming! ^_^

Cool picture from a 1lb robot combat ( #battlebots but smol) comp I went to this summer. One of the few times I'm not the one flying around lol.
