especially if you're like me and test your changes every 5 minutes
it would REALLY suck to have a 50%* downtime of doing things.

*technically less since i'm not *literally* testing every 5 minutes especially if we account for tasks outside of the game engine's editor. but you get the picture

amen

holy shit this is the realest post ever
the part about convincing yourself not to get an actual job hits hard

omg its the mothman from slay the- i mean... scarlet hollow!

wrote a new song for the first time in like a month or so

Decided to draw fanart for Slay The Princess

#SlayThePrincess

this is like skipping the intro to a show except probably worse since this will likely impact sponsorships and stuff

that one attack still drives me mad (you know which one)

ohhh that's interesting

what was causing the problem, if you don't mind me asking?

womp womp i think im cancelling the game i've been working on for over a year because im not having much fun making it and it doesn't seem too promising or exciting. Currently working on a jam game that seems sorta interesting that i may continue working on post-jam
anyway have art dump

absolute cinema ✋ 😐 🤚

if you're happy and you know it...

carry around my synth and laptop (you can technically do those irl but uhhh its a lot of work) with me instead of my phone
now i can at least do game dev between lessons instead of playing slay the spire on mobile to pass the time

Mages and Archers, though i like Rogues as well

helicactus is a very cute name! quite fitting for such a cute enemy

Can confirm, I've also seen them on the Wildfrost discord server - which is a similarly charming roguelike/lite deckbuilder! I thiiiiiink i remember hearing about Starvaders taking some inspiration from Wildfrost but I'm not sure
Crazy how big yet interconnected the game dev community is

oh i see
ill be unfollowing from this account then, but im super excited to see your next dev project! saw some devlogs on your dev account and it looks super cool

it's been a lot of throwing myself at a wall until i beat it
i don't think im ever going to play on brutal
might try ultrakill must die when that comes out though, but i doubt ill ever try for p-ranks on that difficulty

all htat was going through my head when i finally p-ranked p-2 on violent after like a year

BEGONE!
THIS WILL HURT
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE
DESTROY!

JUDGEMENT
CRUSH

i guess a sorta similar artifact with 2D sprites would be Z-fighting (which also exists in 3D meshes... but its kinda similar, right?) or wrong clipping of a sprite (though that's closer to having a wrong texture on a mesh or something)

all things considered that's pretty fast

Ohhh i see
It would also be cool if you had a separate account for non-suggestive art / if you posted non-suggestive art on the dev account but i understand if that's too many accounts to juggle

oh this whole time i thought you just weren't posting dev stuff lol i didnt know you had a separate account for it

same with youtube

same

i dont think this is accurate
game dev is both easier and harder than people think in different aspects
the coding? not as hard as people think! all it takes is to just start doing it
making assets (art/music/sfx/etc.)? depends
the.... everything else? way harder than people think!

i am theoretically very close to finishing the first playable demo for my roguelike but i've not opened the project in a while and so im in that stage where i get the thoughts like "oh but there's this idea that is pretty small and i could definitely finish fast" (<- clueless)

haven't done anything game-dev related in a while, nor have i drawn much in a while (been mostly playing around with my new midi keyboard and learning how to play will wood songs on piano) but here's a new pfp for myself
based on a will wood photo
uhh #art ,i suppose
