Hale the Damo

Oh yeah! How could I forget? Bary (Yes, one R....) the Capybara- Both Sophie and Leonard got into Capybaras recently so we've added him. He can swim. Snap is being adjusted to be the character who can swim *and* is comfortable in warm climates. Spoilers.....

This week with the kids: better state handling, and particles! The kids vetoed my dithered background too, so that's out. Oh and

MULTIPLAYER!

Which is working surprisingly well- Beating up a boss in 4 player is quite chaotic.

My first "complete" PC game starred a Lemming named Elvis.

Thank you guys for the inspiration!

Needs to be attached to a stick so you can attack Bokoblins.

This better be 2D.

Oh it IS?

I'm already in, bring it!

The whole moltbook thing has really worried me. Not because I think AI is all that clever and it's gonna take over and turn us all into human batteries, but because it's fucking stupid and letting AI agents loose on the web just seems like a recipe for a very messy disaster, especially on dev sites.

An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me Summary: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into acceptin…

so-called "AI" agents have now been observed, in the wild, putting out hit pieces on blogs against open source maintainers. on some level it's deeply funny, but really this is terrifying theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

I've just come down for a cup of tea after finding that my bosses can go through doors.

Mid boss fight test and the dude clearly had enough of me jumping on his head and noped out of the dungeon. Yeep!

Fun day at Bletchley Park today!

It is disappointing to see this stuff. We wrote custom baking tools years ago that was just multi-select, click, done.

I swear it's going backwards these days.

I posted this against the wrong post *Shrug*.

Makes me think of Doctor Who!

*Shudder* creeeeepy

Welcome, we have many nibbles!

Had a bug yesterday myself that had potentially crept in days ago, noticed nothing obvious in code.

Picking apart my git history to see potential typos- fun.

You got this!

I use 'em for readability but work with someone who swears they're absolutely unneeded.

I like to see visual clues personally.

"Windows Update is committed to help reduce carbon emissions"

If that's true stop sending me updates like this. I mean what about literally everything you're sending via Windows Update? 700mb webview is not carbon (or DDR5 prices) aware ..

How's this stuff getting through PRs?

I have AI switched off and no AI apps installed. Make this make sense please....
How can I have no AI apps installed but 16 instances of Copilot (WHICH IS YET ANOTHER WEBVIEW CLUSTER!)

At this point 90% of my resources are consumed by webview based apps taking 700mb each to do 1mb of work!

On that note, time to watch Futurama again.

I'ma build my OWN internet.

With Blackjack!

aaand hookers!

..... Forget the Blackjack.
.....ahhh damn, beaten to it.

OMG with this. Looks even better than I thought it would!

Link plastered *everywhere*

Yes, even there.

AS FAR AS I KNOW, because tbh I am not really paying attention, we are into the FINAL 24 HOURS in which you can get EMD crazy cheap instead of just normal cheap.

It would help me out SO MUCH if you could all just buy it pls.

This one's a hoot!

Good old Jasc! PSP7 for me, even had Animation Shop with it!

So now Paint and Notepad are also full of AI.

Paint's is subscription based.

Fuck that I'm installing windows 3.1!

(I genuinely believe that to be the best version of Paint with dithering effects etc.)

One satisfying wiggle!

Yeah it is. I've found better settings since.

I think I liked it because at a glance it almost gives a crayon aesthetic like Yoshi's Island. Almost.

Hmm, tried to add a gradient to the sky. Looks rough but I feel like this adds something- It changes the feel a bit too though.

Ah what a day to forget to tag #screenshotsturday !

Also a reminder the game is being driven by my two kids. I'd like to polish up their work before release but not completely redesign it. The game needs to be what they want, that's why I'm loving this project.

On this note I will be seeking someone to polish the tilesheet.
