Yeah it's definitely better creatively to be able to do everything yourself and tinker with all the numbers directly! Give me a shout if you ever want some GM help APICO was GM2!

Steam decided Snacktorio apparently doesn't meet the criteria but I promise it is automation and not my usual weird genetic nonsense games!!!

a photo of the mess that is my life whenever i have to do console updates because i don't have the space to have all of the bullshit out all the time so whenever i need to work on a console i have to set it all up on the sofabed with cables all over the place which i don't imagine is a safety hazard at all - ANYWAY the photo shows a ps4 devkit on a sofabed with a shitty usb monitor plugged in and then a bunch of cables everywhere

I have been helping out Big Bad Waffle, the creator of @isleward.com for much of its existence.

Now, after a short break, I am back to working on the game with Waffle as equal partners to improve the server infrastructure, add new features and more.

An exciting step in my indie #gamedev "career".
