Yes. Probably the biggest and most misunderstood genre is the very popular "Role-Playing Game" genre. "You play a role of this character in this game, so that makes it an RPG!" And thus, by that definition, now Mario and Tetris are also RPGs.

I can't stop gushing over this every time I see it. Even though I hastily put it together in one day, it came out so good ๐Ÿฅน

I was SO happy about getting 30 more wishlists from organic meetups... only to discover today that 7,000 would be considered a good number for an indie game.

I knew that I was making a game with a niche genre, but finding out how far I am from a standard metric of success terrifies me...

There... uh... is an explanation for this. I just haven't made the cutscene yet.

I had to redo whole chunks of the code just to make it work properly ๐Ÿ˜ญ So troublesome

We made a Practice Mode so you can test your typing speed and words-per-minute! Longer words = More points! ๐Ÿ˜†

Try it out in our upcoming demo! We're just about done cleaning up the bugs, it'll be up in a few hours to a day or so!

I'm in that kinda mood where the moment I watched the first ep of Takopi, the precaution message at the start said "This is a story about not giving up" I fucking cried man

The anime hasn't started yet and I fucking cried. Something about the words "a story about not giving up" just stabbed me rn

After I did this, a merge in git erased all the files before I could push it to the cloud. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
Luckily, I had Unity still open and all the rock and plant placements were still right there in an otherwise blank scene.

I just had to recreate the terrain. Thank goodness.

Every other game is advertising itself as something "combined with Balatro" but don't have anything to do with cards... Why?
It's not like... stacking synergising mechanics is unique to Balatro...
It's a common roguelike mechanic...

Omgg... I can't believe I've only now realised why the frame rate is so bad. These trees have tens of thousands of tris?? I thought SyntyStudios assets were optimised because they make so much low poly stuff and I took it at face value...

Man, I need to replace all these trees...

So the full bluesky profile domain is needed to mention an account...

And links take up character count, so I have to find a way to shorten them, huh... ๐Ÿฅฒ

Assembling some Reptile Kingdom scenes! They're pretty lizard-brained, so they're not very big on... decorum.

The new font DEFINITELY looks better, but the previous font was so jarring that it actually helped to distinguish what words in the game were typable and what weren't.

I'm worried I'll lose it if I change to the nicer font. But I also can't leave it unchanged. Hmmggh... I have to figure this out...

And here's one with a new font! It's a typing game, so the text looking good is something super important but...
I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma...

Today I worked on the text and font because we got some feedback that it was hard to read so I did some tweaks.
Here's the old font: a very jarring pixel font I happened to have on hand...
