Don't mind me. I'm just checking the latest releases for PC while waiting for my order to come.
Btw, these wristwatches look so advanced they should be called Smart watches

I find it really hard to share updates mid-dev on a story-driven game when the visuals are still just boxes and placeholders 😐
Next game, I’m starting with the graphics 🤣

Small progress is still progress!
Just finished a big chunk of code for a mini game! AND fixed a bug that made showing a character wrong in the 1ˢᵗ frame before the animation updated...
But since I still don't have graphics, I'm reticent to show screens... so here's my code then 😜

Creating my own UiTabs because I don't like how Godot's native one behaves. It's not bad, but it misses things...
like the navigation with neighbors...
Probably could be fixed with a small hack...
Overkill? Maybe. But I plan to reuse it so, not that bad.

What's the problem with nowadays PC cases, that there's almost no one accepting more than 2x 3.5" HDD???
What am I supposed to do with my 4 HDD? =_=

Please, if you make a game, DON'T assume everyone plays on full screen or the default window size...
There are a lot of people with a lot of different monitor sizes.
Some people will want to play in window mode at 2x or 3x of the default window size.
Don't be like this

I might have to focus on a lot of art from now on, since the code is mostly done…
Now that I don’t have to focus as much, any recommendations for series or something to have on in the background to listen to while I work? (Usually I have gamedev interviews in YT, but looking for something else!)

Let’s see what comes out of this first character design to put into the game…
What do you think it might be? Character, story...
What kind of character do you think she is?

One thing I've learned from indie game dev, is there is some massive disrespect out there for the art of coding
There are lots of people who think "just slap shit together until it works" or "ai slop is fine if it's in code" because engines make it easier now
Then they complain about optimization

Adding more people to my list of "Artists I might hire in the future" because... well, I guess the time to make some requests is getting closer!

Following this for sure!
And hopefully, next year I'll be able to start a related project... so super useful for inspiration and who knows, maybe for hiring!

Recently just heard about another Twitter migration so wanted to bring up the Low Poly Creators starter pack once more to help find artist you used to follow there!
It contains 100+ amazing lowpoly artists I like, and recommend following and two feeds for lowpoly content! :D

I'm noticing that the direction where technology is headed is taking a toll on me: AI for everything, shortage of everything, stress everywhere, ...
Plus housing prices rising, inflation, ...
But again, I know is the same for (almost) everyone
Can't we just go back to the 90s-2000s? :3

Today I don't know but I was wondering... and I'd appreciate answers from those who like Animal Crossing:
What do you like from AC games? Is it the graphics? The cuteness? The collectibles? The relationship with the town people? Customizing the island? The house? What? :)

Curious about how do you guys manage the workflow of creating textures for 3d models and managing/updating them in a maintainable way.
Do you work directly in the atlas? Do you work in single textures and use some tool like TP to pack them on build time?
Please let me know!
