fedora was the distro I was planning on trying, is there any reason you recommend pop os over it if I have an nvidia card?

i know about installing windows 11 without tpm but that seems hacky and risky to do on my main computer. and yeah I have an nvidia card, I heard they work well with linux now

but also don't really wanna support microsoft and be tied to their platforms/software anymore

at the very least i'm gonna give it a test drive on my main pc since windows 10 end of life is in a couple months and my pc couldn't update to 11

I think I'm about to become a linux user

finally looked at it
top 5% in enjoyment is not bad!
top 1% in audio is crazy lol, the part of the game I mostly didn't handle besides the sfx I quickly threw together on the last day

still haven't looked at the results yet
idk why I'm like this

I'm scared to look at the jam results. I became more invested in it than I thought I would be

oh I see the TRDR version has them (not the console that the default image search shows)

ah of course, how could I forget
(also I can't tell if those buttons are even labeled at all on it)

I was about to say I still think of them as start and select because handhelds still called them that up to the last generation, but now that's two generations ago...

technically it might be the vita but 3DS lasted longer and got a mid generation hardware upgrade

huh was the 3DS the last surviving console to have start and select buttons labeled start and select?

all these years as an artist and it turns out the aesthetic for my personal released games is "black box NES game"

somehow I feel like it adds to the vibe

I didn't post any screenshots or gifs of loop game on bsky or even the game's own page and the cover image is literally a screenshot of the title screen. but I kinda like that lack of "marketing" and how unassuming everything surrounding the game is lol. I think that's fine for a simple free game

omg walfie played my game...

I wonder if there were any other entries to the jam made in picotron

yeah! though I had a feeling I wouldn't be the only one making a game with that kind of gameplay lol
it was the very first idea that came to mind and I just went for it

fun fact: the loop direction colors was inspired by rotaeno

I knew there would be other games with the same mechanic lol. or with the same title. I pretty much just went for the first idea that came to mind and I'm worse at naming stuff than square enix

i have pixel art park FOMO but I got to make a game so I guess it's okay

I'm so happy I managed to get the spawn/despawn ripple effect working in the last hour (of the initial deadline)

my notes made during development

oh right I guess I had extra time to implement high score saving. now I don't think there's enough time to implement that well and I don't want to do it in a rush. I'll save it for the after the jam, I don't think it's necessary for the submitted version.

I guess it's a series now

I don't know what to do with this extra hour. I was in a rush at the end but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out

submitted the final build less than 5 minutes before the deadline (before I realized they extended it by an hour lol)

i didn't know I could stay up for that long

i don't understand how i'm still awake, I think i've been up for over 30 hours
