I’m fairly convinced the β€œfour leaf clovers are lucky” thing was started by a parent who just wanted some quiet time.

Haha thanks! I’m really just glad they had such a good day; could’ve been a sugar-fueled rager, and not the good kind

Also; cheers, fellow dad! Hope you & the King clan are doing well!

Twins are asleep, the house is a mess, there are tire tracks in the yard from the rental power wheel cars (did y’all know that was a thing?)

But they had an amazing day.

Happy birthday littles & happy parent-aversary to us

This is awesome; we need to be sharing more & more often

Does anyone know of a compendium for all of these kinds of resources? Or is it a xkcd.com/927/ kind of situation?

The Law of Cool UI in #gamedev:
Every game since 2002, regardless of genre or style, will reference Minority Report (2002) at some point in its development cycle.

See also: curved HUDs, mostly transparent & boxy menus, and blurry/down-sampled backgrounds

Like most businesses, running a co-dev studio is mostly looking at spreadsheets

Today though, it's asking candy companies for bulk discounts to send my team a little somethin' somethin' for the end of the yearπŸ¦„

If we haven't met yet, I'm Andrew; a former "AAA" programmer who ventured out to create a UI/UX co-dev studio named Aspiring Unicorn Games πŸ¦„

My team & I are just about to wrap our 5th year; it's been a wild ride so far (see below), and we're looking forward to 2025
