#Bored ? Try out my mobile game! It's only on Android! I've only got a handful of players and would love a few more. I work on this often and am constantly trying to improve it. #Indie

The update is going slowly but steady. I don't get much work time on it each day but I try to do at least something every day. Yesterday I got the framework done for the balloon design swapping.
September 25, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Yesterday I got the custom pilots saving and loading, so when you play the next time it remembers who you were. My next goal is to do the same for the rest of the customization.

However I did also switch to playing Minecraft for like 4 hours. Oops.

We are at 7 characters so far. They don't have their unlock requirements yet. I want to have most of the Shadow of Dexl cast eventually!

yesterday instead of working on my game I decided to rearrange the living room that ended up being like the episode of SpongeBob where Squidward was rearranging the room for SpongeBob and at the end ended up being the same as when it started. took me hours. haha

I've just about completely refactored the whole movement system.

I also added the character unlock backend stuff

Lots of tweaks and play testing. I'm happy with progress even if it's a bit slow. Soon!

Accidentally spent the whole night redoing the balloons movement code. That was so messy I didn't even know what was making it move anymore. It had waaaay too many things going on it didn't need.

Fairly big update coming soon!

If you want to join the beta and play the new content early let me know!

de quervain's sucks you can't type or play video games it's like one of the worst things ever. If it heals and you do games again it comes back.

The next video is going to be about the same length as X2s give or take a few minutes.

Im planning on changing the format for X4 or whatever I do after that to be a bit shorter.

Second Playthrough of X3 complete! Time to write.
April 12, 2025 at 11:10 PM
I finished my first playthrough of Mega Man X3 today. I think I want to play through it one more time especially considering I didn't record the first playthrough. And I'll probably write the script in tandem with the second playthrough.
