Finished up that LDD from yesterday. Feeling wiped and really looking forward to an early night. Journalling is going well- I've hit a whole two days in a row! Very impressive commitment.

📢 PRESS + CREATORS! 🤩

🗡️GIGASWORD by @studiohybrid.bsky.social launchs Nov 13 and we want to give YOU a game key!

Battle between brain and brawn in this action-puzzle metroidvania. 🏰

❗️We're gearing up to send out review keys very soon, so please fill out the form BELOW ⬇️💘

Had the "bright" idea to try to post here daily about things I get done during the day. Something like a journal? Hopefully it'll help me track progress, since I tend to be very achievement-motivated.

Today, I wrote a test! I also did some diagram work for an LDD.

Yesss throw your balls at those big burly men yesss

Remember kids:
- Discord is not a place for storing game dev/project materials
- You (probably) don't need Jira
- Your internal deadlines should be BEFORE their final due date
- Don't put up with stuff; speak up
- If someone can't speak up, speak up for them
- Stay a little silly but take no shit

So... Hades II... That ending, huh?

Don't get me wrong, the game is really well-made! The ending just REALLY left a sour taste in my mouth. It almost feels rushed, even though there was no time pressure involved. I hope the epilogue changes my mind, but...

I'm a student in this program. Really excellent quality of teaching with a ton of highly applicable classes and activities and an emphasis on industry readiness. The semester-ly Design Week is also a fantastic way to gain experience and build portfolio pieces.

You hit the button. That's it.

*Sigh* I GUESS I can wait another month...
(Joking aside, take all the time you need!)

If you haven't already, go pick up one of the best roguelites ever made for DIRT CHEAP! This is as close to a perfect game as it gets and they're practically giving it away for free!

If this thing isn't a late-game boss fight we riot

A screenshot showing the "game completion" screen for Hollow Knight: Silksong, with a completion percentage of 100% and a time of 59h 05m 08s. On the left side is the "Completion" achievement, awarded for beating the game with 100% game completion.

This is my new favourite game of all time and nothing even comes close. Truly the best experience I've ever had with a game and more than I could have ever asked for.

Slashing my way through a glowing forest...

Straight-up bouncing on it, and by it, well, lets justr say, my gigasword

When I first ran into someone I knew while they were in combat, it felt so cool to jump in and help them out. Absolutely impeccable work from TC.

Been playing WAY too much Silksong the past few days and I still can't get over just how ALIVE the world feels. I've never played a game that made me feel so much like the NPCs are actual beings with their own lives and goals!

This will be Silksong in 2025

If you're Canadian, go sign this! Even if you don't purchase or interact with adult content at all, if payment processors get away with this then it sets a particularly nasty precedent.

Required reading for anyone who has ever been employed. Unions are there to protect you and your rights, and this comic does a great job of showing what happens when workers are denied those rights— plus, it's an all-around entertaining history lesson!

The study opens with the line, "In 1996, Game Freak and Nintendo released Pokémon Red and Green, a role-playing game based on the Japanese manga Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター) [...]" so I'm not entirely convinced on the quality of the rest of the study. It's still a good read, though!

I've finally finished the cutscenes for GIGASWORD, and I'm super happy with the way they've turned out. Here's one of the scenes from a pretty big scene that occurs in the beginning of the game
