Adding very important features to Brekkie Bros. based on early tester feedback

Introducing... the hunchfart!

To be fair, I tried coding in the past in multiple different engines so it's not entirely accurate to say this is my first attempt at something like this

It's just the first successful one lol

Mileage may vary here, but if people were ever wondering how long a "first solo game" can take, just add another 30-40 hours to this give or take by the time I put the finishing touches on it

Anyhow, here's another sneak peak at Brekkie Bros. before I have to leave for a few days (UI still WIP, you know how it goes)

Have a real gas up in the clouds as you soar through the "Wonderful Tasty Foods" construction site!

Look, if the internet fractures again and everyone mass leaves Discord imma just fall into the cracks of the earth and devolve

We're talkin primordial JMan, sending out my freaky kaiju sized gamer tendrils into the world like once every decade and asking "what surface be like??? AIM or YIM back???"

I have nothing but the utmost respect for pure solo devs, my game's like 1/20th the size of Cave Story or Iconoclasts and I already wanna run screaming to my dev friends, waving my arms in arcane gestures as a cry for help

But hey, I can see the finish line if I squint a lil bit!

Nearing the end of the hard part of making Brekkie Bros now, which is being able to play the game start to finish

Then the hard part comes where I gotta do all the polish and finish all the animations. Then the hard part of content completion. Then the hard part where the trailer gets made, then-

Saw the video before reading the name and almost said "that looks so much like Mommy's Best Games"

Lo and behold, glad to see they're still truckin along!

Someone recently said I was "uncle aged"

I'm not sure how to process this info other than updating my user handle for the first time in like... half a decade

I feel like not enough people show early WIP/proof of concept stuff for projects

So anyways, here's a WIP of Sloppy Joe, the second boss in my big dumb farting mans video game "Brekkie Bros", make sure to give em a good spanking when the game releases later this year (FOR FREE!)

The amount of times I've either emulated or hooked in my SNES and said "SUPAH NINTENDO" with this exact cadence is probably embarrassing to admit

I can't speak for anyone considering I stopped going something like 13 years ago, but it all does fade away, eventually

The important part is the cool people you meet that stick around, that's the irreplaceable part, not the event or the games or the charity, imo

Yeah I feel like that's also the first instance I started seeing that happen with, like you said it made some sense people were secretly hoping for something weird cause it's a big mystery/detective show, of course people wanted to feel like they were solving something

Is there a history of the "secret final episode" or something? I swear I've seen that theory across like... 3 or 4 show finales now

But also, this is what fanfiction exists for, you can just...write your own ending and not a soul can stop you

I've just accepted any image of a PSP is going to have something weird happening to it, bless that system

If you've never held a controller/console like this for some sick optimization, have you even gamed?

Lol yeah I've played more triple A games than I'd care to admit in the last decade and I've read some mondo shlock, there's so very many ways it could be worse...

Felt largely the same way, like a 50/50 split on "this is the same camp-ass series it's been since the start, why are you all mad" and "please stop over-writing, please, I'm begging, I saw the thing you don't have to explain the thi-they're explaining the thing..."

I don't really have a "top games", instead have a list of the most interesting games I played from 2025, maybe you'll enjoy them too!
- Star of Providence
- Stray Children
- DELTARUNE: Chapter 3 & 4
- Angeline Era
- Keeper
- Soul of Sovereignty: Prelude
- Neon Inferno
- OFF

Every year I read a little Soulsov is the year of Soulsov, need folks to shoot for the century of Soulsov

Oh man, I'm kinda glad you posted this cause mine has just been getting weirder and weirder and it's GOTTA be about the same age...

I should probably buy a "real" mic again considering all the work I do, but god I hate running shit through a pre-amp or additional programs

Aseprite is the Linux of pixel programs, I feel. I've got like 6,500 hours using it now and still feel like only half of what it offers is useful and to get it there I was still customizing the experience for at least 100+ hours of that time

You not only succintly summarized my problem with apps, but game design, movie discourse, all of it

Everything has slowly shifted from "here's something to enjoy" to "here's how you should enjoy our thing"

The user experience isn't thought about beyond milking the maximum engagement with a product

There's a couple of major monsters I'd love to share too involving extremely endgame content, but those are for you all to find and see on your own 👁️
