Long before my UI career, one of my lifelong dreams was to become a composer. Last year, that dream came true when I was asked to compose the OST on Piece By Piece.
And now... the game was just featured on Kinda Funny!! Greg Miller wishlisted it!! Absolutely surreal. 12 days to go!

I'm happy to say that PadCrafter 2.0 will finally support SVG exports! Control schemes can be saved as individual SVGs, copied to the clipboard (for pasting in Figma/Illustrator), or exported as an entire project in a ZIP file.
Launch coming soon, along with Mouse/Keyboard support and other goodies!

Yeah, it was just a canned animation that happens whenever you select a button. It added a huge delay between screens too ๐Ÿ˜… So silly.

Yesterday, I discovered that in Iron Man 2 on the Wii, when you select an option on the menu, Tony Stark's massive forearm comes along and prods the UI.

I think I get a bit like this with my anti-AI 'crusade'. I know many people are terrified, yet very few will actually speak up about it. I try to be understanding, but it's tough.
