OK, so we missed #WishlistWednesday yesterday, but we will not miss... #DevlogThursday ⁉️

Finally, the Knight George devlogs return, this time focusing on how we go beyond the traditional "get into dungeon => get boss key => boss" mechanic for our temples.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights
A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..." More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!" A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

Entretien avec Elsa Macé, animatrice 3D chez Draw Me A Pixel : c'est elle qui donne vie à Sherlock et Watson dans #CrushedInTime, le prochain jeu des devs de There Is No Game 💪🏻

Elle porte les cheveux longs, a les mains jointes devant elle et sourit à son interlocutrice. Illustration officielle du jeu vidéo Crushed In Time, présentant une vieille voiture surgissant d'un vortex vert. A son bord, Sherlock Holmes et le Docteur Watson semblent paniqués. Le style visuel général est cartoonesque, anguleux, proche des certaines créations de l'âge d'or de LucasArts.

I'm still learning #Godot, and I keep finding new interesting things.

Like how it has Text To Speech stuff built-in and just a function call away.

Like, wow! I mean, I wouldn't use it for voice acting but for accessibility it honestly doesn't seem that difficult to support. #gamedev #MayGame

To keep myself sane lately I've been plugging away on this and FINALLY finished it. I worked on it very sporadically but the first sketch is about 7 years old!

At some point I would like to maybe make it into a print but we'll see. #art

Also did La Linea! I really love his grammelot voice.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

In my game, quests are represented as "Mental Notes."

You can see these notes on the map screen. 🗺️🔖

You can also see them on the items screen, on top of items that are part of a quest. 🌻🔖

Quests with no item yet will show an item wireframe. 🌐🔖
