Yes absolutely. Glad I'm in good company on this method.

A valuable life skill.

The call to write PERFECT code is very strong. Like a Siren. A Code Siren, ready to smash you on the project management rocks.

The in-game art on this new Amiga game looks nice: acidbottle.itch.io/fast-food-2

Had a choice of 3 ways how to code a minor feature but couldn’t decide. So I unloaded the dishwasher and now I have decided :-)

sure was!

I think it has a shuriken throwing mini game right?

Really great game. I need to finish it actually, close to the end I think.

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

Aha cool, I'll probably use that key. Thx.

F10 as a boss key or a game control key?

Ok thx. Maybe f10 them but I can guess some games did use that.

when this happens this is my fav thing btw

I mean, we pivoted from Regency Solitaire to this: bsky.app/profile/grey...

It’s on my stretch goal list to add a boss key to Forbidden Solitaire. Do you know if there was a common key like f12?

Museum of Computing History in Cambridge. Loved it.

Looks cool

I recently announced Shutter Story but it went under the radar!

It's a horror game about revealing and categorizing signs of the paranormal in a family's photographs 📸

Forbidden Solitaire on Steam Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

Youngsters (22, 24) watching me play the demo for Forbidden Solitaire : ‘holy crap this is so ‘90s.’ And when the demo ended…’shit, now I really want to know what happens next!’

A good start to the weekend 👻

I watched that Wolverine origin story in Vancouver, Canada and when he said “I’m Canadian” the whole cinema erupted in a massive cheer. It was great :-)

Agree

Dozed off in my sunlounger during a break! Back at it now.

Current status: cleaning up the Forbidden Solitaire demo for Tiny Teams and adding in new stuff. It's a race to see how much I can get done before next Thursday!

Looks great!

I might add in a caveat that certain genres do require good programming as well. Complex simulation genres that need optimisation for example.
