Hiii #PitchYaGame! Iโ€™m working on poong, an arcade casual game where you:

- hit a puck with a paddle
- aim the puck at targets
- repeat for one minute!

It plays in-browser on itch: shavedsandwich.itch.io/poong. If you try it out, Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for looking!

I've been working on a game but never actually posted about it here???

The game is called poong, and you play by using a paddle to hit a puck at targets. That's it. Seriously.

Give it a shot and lmk what you think! It's up on itch now: shavedsandwich.itch.io/poong

I think the bigger question here, really, is how did this slip unnoticed for so long. Itโ€™s been MONTHS

I discovered the combo scoring equations in my game were completely wrong. My previous high scores are about to evaporate into nothing but hopes and dreams

Super early look at Kenney Creator, my new modeling software for indies. It'll feature many blocks and tools to create any sort of model - aiming for a Q1 2026 release! โœจ

A Chuao honeycomb chocolate bar. The image on the wrapper depicts a honeycomb with dark chocolate dripping down from its top. To the left of the honeycomb is a honey dipper and a bee.

I double clowned myself because I didnโ€™t know that I could just, yknow, swap my user id to a non-blacklisted oneโ€ฆ instead of waiting the mathematical equivalent of three business days

I forget that as a dev I can do these sorts of things???

Okay update I tried to Ctrl+F and apparently that opens a tab to reply to the selected email...
1) how on earth is that intuitive
2) Ctrl+F still doesn't search for text?!?!?! WAS THIS ALL A LIE

Iโ€™m sorry Microsoft, but was that NOT the default behaviour to begin with???

Yes Barbara, I absolutely need all these tabs open. They are my Emotional Support Tabsโ„ข and each serves a specific purpose. Even if I donโ€™t know what exactly some of those purposes are just yet

Here's what my team came up with during the #gmtk #gamejam: you pilot a UFO hurtling through space! Movement was inspired by Gyruss and is limited to clockwise/counterclockwise "loops", sticking to the jam's theme.

Stepped out this morning to be greeted by a huge (fluorescent!) red spider just outside my neighbourโ€™s door. The emotional side yelled: RUN!!! WHILE YOU CAN. The rational side said: thereโ€™s no way thatโ€™s not a toy spiderโ€ฆ right? Right?!?!?!
