Ok ok here's the 9 games i ended up settling on! These are all games that were either really special to me or had an impact on the kind of work I want to make as an artist/game developer or I just really liked them a lot
05.03.2026 20:27 โ ๐ 14 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I've played a lot of games and enjoyed a lot of games but I've seen people using the list as like. the games that "made" you. the games that impacted your tastes and how you see games. and i dont think ive had 9 different games do that!!
05.03.2026 20:06 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0i wanna do that 9 games thing but i always have a genuinely hard time listing even a handful of games that were Super Impactful to me

05.03.2026 11:14 โ ๐ 12 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The thing about frogs is when they arent being lazy they act like the most bloodthirsty, vicious, violent predators on the face of the fucking earth, except they have no claws or teeth or horns and are instead tiny and squishy so they look ridiculous

04.03.2026 20:10 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Does my art have "sauce" . Do people look at things I draw and go fuck yeah another Bee banger . It might just be a result of me being the person who makes it all and knowing the process behind it all but I can't help but feel like my work is missing something abstract and hard to define

01.03.2026 08:38 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Imagine it. A little special period thats three weeks long but only one week actually passes in the world and you only need to eat as much as you do in a week and dishes don't pile up and you only have to work 40 hours across the 3 weeks and you can just get all the shit done at a reasonable pace
01.03.2026 08:36 โ ๐ 13 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1There is always so many things going on all the time . I just need there to be a week that's like 3 weeks but it's only one week so I can be less busy and stressed all the damn time
01.03.2026 08:33 โ ๐ 14 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Had a dream I was adding a fishing minigame to Stomp
28.02.2026 17:43 โ ๐ 9 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0And I mean... Making enemies and art and all that is definitely the more difficult and more time consuming part. But I like it way more than level design, and it FEELS way less overwhelming to be filling in an already complete world. All that stuff is the fun part! I could polish up rooms for hours!

I was kind of just always continuously expanding the game's world.
With Stomp though, the world is likely gonna be fully blocked out before the end of summer. The rest of development will be filling out the world, making art and bosses and NPCs and continuing to tweaking the world to improve it
I think I'm enjoying the kind of workflow that comes with a metroidvania than I did with Frogsong's workflow. With Frogsong, each chapter was kind of its own self contained little thing, so the process of making that game was mostly make chapter 1 -> make chapter 2 -> and so on

27.02.2026 23:14 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I know itโs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canโt Do The Work when youโre starving.
26.02.2026 19:25 โ ๐ 8085 ๐ 3625 ๐ฌ 22 ๐ 0I've been thinking for a while that I've got to get weirder but I've been afraid of making anything look too "alien". But I think I gotta take that risk... I gotta make this place more interesting.
26.02.2026 09:01 โ ๐ 12 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I want the Island to be interesting to explore. I want it to be visually captivating. The Dewdrop Grove as it is is like... Fine? I'm proud of the art I did and I think it looks pretty good. But I don't want the very first region of the game to just be A Green Forest Level !!
