Mayhaps they'll even offer a refreshing beverage after all that dungeon diving!

Never know until you ask :D

Oh no! I think it has to be a comfort zone thing, even if coding is a mess and painful getting all the bugs, if it's what you've been doing it's the comfortable side of development in that moment lol

Good luck to you and making your art!

I've done so much art and writing that I'm now excited for my day I spend in engine working on code, when the last few months I've dreaded working in engine.

Game dev really is just a wild pendulum huh

I knew I was bad when my therapist gently tried to suggest sleeping in and having coffee to learn how to relax

Figured since ChatGPT is trending, I would say that my works and projects are NEVER made with any form of generative AI at any point.

Not the conceptual phases, not the writing or editing phases, coding, nowhere.

I was put on this earth to create, and I refuse to ever lease that out to a robot.

I had my first chapter reviewed by several author friends of mine, and it came to glowing reviews!!

Especially happy it was compared to Stardew Valley and Legends and Lattes in quality and comfort/fun ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ˜„

Excuse me while I ride this high for the next few days!

When I write for Tales of Amythria, I never realize how much it feels like processing some of my own stuff through characters

Unfortunately this leads to my crying at my own descriptions of grief and loss ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Who wants to join my support group for all those victimized by anti-aliasing on transparent pngs

For no reason, definitely didn't spent a half hour troubleshooting a solution on this today...

Back from camping and ready to continue development!!

Lots of edits to the script, art assets and implementation to gear up towards the demo release. While making time for fun fall-time activities hehehe

I'm also planning longer dev log posts on Tumblr!

Oh that sounds like a nightmare! Also not unlike the solution I had worked out lol, we all are victims to minor increment changes

I finally got my dialogue system to be a lot more flexible and allow for much easier implementation of branching choice paths!

Only took like 8ish hours to figure out I just needed to tweak one line of code, after trying a ton of more complicated solutions ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Heck I spent a few months on a completely different version of my game that all around wasn't necessary, we deal with this in every form ๐Ÿ˜‚

Today, I made a solid asset list and schedule of release for the demo (to be announced!) and spent a few hours experimenting with some art style shenanigans that proved unnecessary in the end lol

Bit of a mixed bag all together

I braved through my cold-medicine induced brain fog to sketch some ideas for the intro of my game demo!

To reward this monsterous effort, I will now be comatose in bed ๐Ÿ˜‚
