Utterly depressing, all of it. People like that, the article, if true, all of it.

Trying to make some fall themed art. They look like trash but I feel like I'm learning something. So, I guess that's a good thing.

Not gonna lie, the credits song for Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman goes so hard. I really can't get over how good this sounds.

Learning how to use a DAW,
and figuring out how to manage plugins,
and virtual instrument programs,
and soundfonts,
and soundfont players,
and when to use which of these things,
and how to use them together,
and how to compose anything even kind of good...

is melting my brain. But I will press on.

Thank you! That's good to hear. Trying to not feel like I'm out of my depth. ๐Ÿ˜…

I made this little bird guy while learning to do pixel art. I feel like he needs to be used in one of my projects.

Something I noticed from trying to get acclimated to the community and watching a bunch of devlogs, I find myself getting a little overwhelmed and discouraged. What makes me think I can do what they do?

Puts it all in perspective, doesn't it. Unfortunately the ones that need to consider other perspectives loathe doing so.

I like your style! I am dipping my toe in the game making waters. One of my projects is a roguelike/roguelite idea. Would you be interested in chatting a little about all that?

That's easy, Subnautica. The first one.

Y'all have any groups or communities where indie developers yap or share stuff? It could be discord or reddit or whatever. Just trying to fit in or get involved.

Now I have to figure out how to make devlogs ๐Ÿซฅ

I'll have to dust off the old YouTube channel

Got some more in the works:

๐Ÿƒ A deck builder tcg sim with creative mechanics
๐Ÿ˜๏ธ My "big idea" dream game. It is a 4D puzzle adventure game. This one will be a slow burn, as I want to get my feet wet with a smaller project first, so I can do this one justice.

Let me know which one interests you!

I have a few game concepts I've started building. Which do you want to see brought to life first?

๐Ÿš€ A text based adventure with semi-random event progression
๐Ÿชƒ A resource management dungeon looting game with time based mechanics
โ˜„๏ธ A puzzle solving story based game with multiple paths

<See next>

Voila. Here I am. Pretending I'm cocky enough that I have a place in the crowded indie dev world. But I'm going to try! And I'm going to keep myself grounded. If success arrives, I'll scream. But success is not my goal, the journey is.

How did you spend your PSN outage this week? I started my speedrun to get this ludicrous item. And now that's done ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

It reminds me of how Russia spun the news to its people about how most of the world cut them off economically after they launched their "special military exercise" against Ukraine. I wonder what stories Fox and OAN are coming up with now.

I'm playing through 6 so that my girls can see this special game. It's the only FF I haven't introduced them to.
I hope you have fun with it!

That actually makes so much sense! The castle has libraries with scholars talking about ancient magic, but Locke wouldn't know how to recognize that. I'm kind of impressed.
