My Google ads Aura is nicely Halloweeny... but otherwise a bit basic.

I wasn't going to say anything but a few days ago I opened Godot.

I blocked out a single level for a one scene jam style game.

Haven't made a character controller or anything else but... I opened Godot.

gamedev but no "real" coding.

SPOOOOOON!!!!

Wow

It really does.

Day 144.
I have re-acquired my iPad.
Still no sign of the iPencil...

Her design skills are as dead as her morals.

Maybe make sure those content creators have access to your game for their holiday drop.

What Happened. "Some explanation, in the time capsule that is this site, should be given for the significant amount of time I've not been working on the game."

Nearly forgot I had a blog! It needed an update due to all the non-updates happening.

Let your brain worry if you've spent a significant enough amount of time basking in it.
... Probably not.

Yesterday kinda sucked, but it's another step away from the old life. Gotta keep focused on building the new one

Had a TINY #gamedev idea to do as a Jam to honor the journey & reintroduce myself to #Godot - but not sure when/if I'll get to it

Preach

Type-o cancel me. Should have said can't fool me. Voice to text fail.

Cancel me, that's a cleverly disguised time teleportation device.

Need ideas for a good solo vacay in 2026 for someone who isn't good at meeting people

Are there low-prey gamedev boot camps or something?

I've seen the “geeky cruises” out there but I dunno if that'd be fun solo. But then, what would?

Can I just go help out at an archeology dig?

Congrats!!
🎉

Yep in the end... money.

For the record: whatever the process, I'm glad it worked out for Jimmy Kimmel ... I kinda thought all the late night hosts were gonna have to start their own streaming service

🤔 Maybe the should
If that happens I wanna work there. Doing... something
I'm a "Big Idea" guy... I can do something

Same

Fixed it for you...

Nice first DevLog!
I'm curious what game engine you're going to use?

And has probably never even tried to make a game & and knows they couldn't if they tried.

I worry about you.
packing boxes, jigsaw puzzles ... what will you warp next? Mac & Cheese?

The person who wrote that is a sad angry person. Hopefully one day they realize it and can get the help they need.

Also, In case it helps:

Great thread to plugged into the gamedev scene:

There's some really good blogging options.

BearBlog.dev It's a very cool, simple blogging platform, but not game focused

@iksmith.bsky.social here on bsky Just launched player3.io which is game focused. It has lot of cool features, but you can create content and tag it as a DevLog for sure

My OLDEST son has me back playing @pokemongo-eng.bsky.social. Must admit it's much deeper now

Trainer battles ftw. Now there's a reason to have teams of multiple types & strengths

But used some Fast TMs & The new move only applied to gyms and & raids. Not trainer battles.

⁉️Yuck.

Talk like a Pirate Day easter egg?
This is TOP TIER game design.

I love all the awesome stuff I’m seeing whilst I lurk. You people are awesome

As inspiring as it is, I’m still not really in a place to put energy into serious #gamedev

Starting to worry I’ll have to start learning fully over when I get back to it.
