One of the most triumphant feelings you get in game dev is fixing a really tricky bug that’s taken a long time to figure out. And after it happens you HAVE to tell someone…in great detail. I can’t explain it but I’ve seen most programmers do this.

Visit the diner at night to see some folks enjoying pancakes. And an old fart trying to enjoy his evening.

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

The Department of Wishes has some real freaks.

Finding a lot of troubling items in the garage today.

A low resolution pixel art RPG, the player character is standing in front of a normal looking circular sink in a bathroom.

The options menu of said low resolution RPG. We see that the setting for VSink is off.

The same RPG, except this time the sinks have been morphed to a "V" shape.

The menu of the same RPG, we see that the option for VSink has been turned on.

The Department of Wishes has a lot of useful options. Switch between windowed and fullscreen, resize the window, and even rebind all the controls.

It also let's you enable VSink, which is useful if you are tired of looking at circular/rectangular sinks.

The Department of Wishes is an RPG about granting wishes!
Stylistically, it takes after JRPGs throughout history. Mechanically, it draws from TTRPGs and CRPGs!

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

The Department of Wishes offers many moral choices to the player.
