Picture of a very colorful mural on the side of a building. I would say it's very abstract and hard to describe. There's some text in the lower corner that says, in English, "Because a blank wall is nothing but a pile of bricks"

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, but I'm currently in Osnabrรผck! It's been so rewarding not only to see the place where I was born, but to meet my family who still live here.

It's very long overdue, and I'm grateful. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I feel like a god right now.

When I entered the hotel lottery for MAGfest, I decided to book a hotel with the option to pay later.

So, I didn't win the lottery, but the hotel I booked is on the list of shuttled hotels to MAGfest. I also got it at a cheaper rate than the MAGfest discount price! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

This mini-doc left a big impression on me when I was younger. The music section of this mini-doc was the one section I was fascinated by and remember to this day. This game still has some of the best ambient music I've ever heard.

Check out this amazing remastered (at 4k!) version of "The Making of Myst" mini-doc! Originally included on the Myst CD-ROM in 1993, this version has been carefully recreated by Ted Sase using footage preserved by the VGHF!

My fiancรฉ has been watching me play a lot of Megabonk and Clover Pit lately, or as she called them, โ€œfake games made for a CSI episode about an older brother with anger issuesโ€

It's currently day 8 of developing Magefight: Pain & Pleasure in #godot and it's so exciting to see how fast it's coming together. If you're interested in following my #solodev #gamedev journey creating mechanically satisfying furry video games, please consider giving me a follow ๐Ÿ’™

TIL the silly little melody that plays in the Atari Jaguar startup screen is actually their old commercial jingle from their VCS days

Added some template frames for npc animation to draw over later. Built a cool dynamic animation system which pulls the frames out of the folders and dynamically builds an animation library at runtime. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

A Dell computer tower with two sticky notes. One is a picture of a cat face, the other says "what is it called when your employee falls asleep at work? a 'cat'astrophe!"

A wood grain desk with three buttons for "pet" "scold" and "feed". Multi-colored post it notes with messages and pens are strewn about the desk. You also see some PC speakers on either side of a computer monitor with the game running. Some post it notes are hanging on the Monitor as well.

Wider shot of the previous photo. The previous alt-text still apllies, but now you see the wall with motivational cat posters, as well as multi-colored post it notes.

Thank you to everyone at #RVA for coming out to the RVA game Jams opening reception. I had a blast seeing everyone's games, talking to people, and seeing the smiles when folks played our team's game! Sorry I didn't post this yesterday, I stayed late for the after party!

Great stream! I was jinjo in the chat, but didn't want to say my bsky name in case it sounded too self-promotional. I really should thing about changing my username on Twitch...

The longer I ponder on it, the funnier it is that these two characters are both officially playable in an AAA game.

I know this might not be surprising to folks paying attention. On my walk just now, I noticed more and more buildings with "For Lease" signs in front.

Crazy times we live in.
