Haha I’m quite certain the game wasn’t thought of back then. Funny that these babies keep invading your consciousness.

Haha this is for a game that they recently released where you buy and sell babies on the open market. But it’s ok to do this bc it is in outerspace.

Since I did a very rare thing and stayed up to 2am shouting over loud music as people demoed @chuggagames.bsky.social at GDC, my brain has decided that 5:30am is a fine time to be awake. Good morning everyone.

I haven’t tried to figure out exactly what’s going on yet bc I enjoy basking in the cloud of mystery that is this bug

The extra fun part here is that it’s all my own physics code. Leaning toward not addressing.

Would you play a mouse-only game with a controller?

I have an opportunity to live demo my game soon but they require controller support. So I’m rushing to add controller support!

I love when I'm listening to some electronic music on Spotify that I've never heard before and suddenly it samples a line from some movie. This song just played a clip from Terminator and I am locked in now.

The reasons are a possible GDC opportunity. So I’ve got a fun deadline too!

I created a custom editor to make art in this style

It supports different “brush” sizes, layers, color palettes, undo/redo, and a preview mode

It’s a lot of fun to work with!
