Also to people saying “it’s not confirmed” “we didn’t see OG Q” like take a fuckin hint. They are really trying to tell us this is the new Q just shy of saying it outright. TBH if I were the creative director and saw people argue abt it I’d be coy too just to be an asshole bc it’s so obvious

It’s a really great way to solve this problem of Q being such a beloved character but also Q’s storyline being more than finished. Give us the new generation of Q. I think Rhys Darby did great as a Q and honestly tapped a bit into that excitement of a new Doctor that I lost with the recent DW stuff.

And we get the confirmation of who this us by a small voice cameo of John de Lancie, we see Junior Q and not OG Q which primes us to understand that the new Q on the block is Junior, and Junior had fundamentally different questions for humanity…

So Junior Q never really understood it. He came to understand duty and responsibility (kinda) but never really the emotional drive. So thats what he does in this ep. He wants to see how humans express love in this “ultimate” way and fabricates emotions from existing feelings…

The writers did a good job of giving us a parallel to TNG’s first episode. In TNG the John de Lancie Q (OG Q) condemned humanity for it’s mistakes. Then in VOY we get his son, who is taught all Q learned, but Q was never that emotionally human he had moments but generally he was emotionally a Q…

Man I get the the last ep of SNW was a little weird and made no sense if this is your introduction to star trek but I DON’T CARE THIS WAS PURE FAN SERVICE AND I ATE THAT SHIT UP.

V/V UPDATE

The PC demo build is up for review by the rest of the team. Going to see how hard it would be to insert the steamdeck reqs to have steam agree that it’s supported with a separate build, but it will have Windows and Linux. Worst case will do workarounds for Steam Deck like beta builds.

You do realize, I hope, that if someone shows up at an event with the specific intent of causing an uproar in order to get attention, screaming about it is only giving them the attention that they seek and will encourage them to try it again.

I’m so glad AC is always on 4th of July, nothing may be open for food but it’s so much more fun to spend the day in a space where you can just be a weird furry creature

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Omfg I cannot type at 10am apparently

“I am the main dev for level 1” the last line is meant to say

Been dealing with a lot and finishing some level edits and such has taken longer than anticipated. This is my own fault but at least it’s almost done.

Also some V/V housekeeping for today:

The demo will likely de delayed for the start of next month, why? Main one being Steam must review first the build as part of their hosting process

Other reason being I am the main drv for level and moving states is annoying AF. Cont.

I have read it and came to see for myself how Thor had lied about it. I won’t get into any intentionality debates because for now thats irrelevant, but know that whats on the petition is what it is, nothing more nothing less.

As a reminder, the popular game dev streamer “Thor” PirateSoftware has on multiple occasions lied to try and kill the petitions. It’s not as complicated as he tries to make it out to be. Please if you are EU read it and decide to sign on your own without others asserting what is is or is not

There is a pro-consumer rights movement for gaming right now called #StopKillingGames. It is currently try to pass an initiative to ensure that games that you pay for cannot be rendered completely unplayable after being sold to you, please consider supporting it.

After the move I’ve just been on limited energy trying to deal with everything that comes with this big of a move. I’ve honestly been slow in trying to get the V/V demo ready for steam review, but I’m glad I’ve at least found some media to help me find my creative spirit again

Just got fully caught up with Witch Hat Atelier and it’s such a breathtaking manga. The plot doesn’t rely on Deus-Ex solutions but those born from the characters. And honestly the theme of “making problems you can’t solve into something you can” is something I will always take with me going forward

This probably needs updating, but this is a good starter pack for talented Black folks who actively make cool video games.

Rewatching Capaldi’s Doctor Who after the uhhh… *interesting* writing on Gatwa’s run.

Listen is just such a good story and Capaldi’s delivery of a lot of the freaky stuff is so well done

I feel like this year the game awards will be dominated by indie game dev, it just doesn’t seem like theres much GOTY fodder from AAA this year which is fine, and I hope that this helps AAA see that growth in this industry requires fundamentally different ideas from the standard corporate playbook

A few late night updates for V/V, we’re testing a few new movement changes regarding jumps, instead of tap vs hold jump we are swapping to a standard jump with an additional air jump available after. We hope this will help with making inputs feel more consistent as we move to launch a level 1 demo

Just finished Expedition 33, Time to go cry.

Holy shit what an amazing game the devs deserve everything in the world for gifting the world this masterpiece

Me on my fuckin knees bowing down to the writers of Expedition 33 as I enter Act 3…

I’ma need like A YEAR to process whats happening here LMFAO. If this isn’t a GOTY nominee this year I’ma lose it

V/V on Steam A fast paced 2d Precision Platformer game where you must move dash and jump your way through platforms that begin to decay after you touch them.

Shameless weekend post telling you to go wishlist my game on steam that comes out next year!

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Just got caught up on the new Doctor Who ep and this is one of my favorites for this doctor, just what a great piece overall

I hope specifically whoever was responsible for the virtual queue disaster gets an ego check because even though I am not affiliated with the con or anyone who made the virtual queue if I were a dev on that I would have told them that the product was not ready and they were likely told that
