After about 1.5 years in development, my game "May and the Amazing Bouquet" can now be wishlisted on Steam!
This is my first real game, and I'm so excited it's gotten to this point! 🥲
Thank you to everyone who's followed and supported so far!

One of my gamedev fears is that I'll release a game. And then a month later think,
"SHOOT! That important story/scene/location/item would have been SO much better if it went instead!"
This is why I spend so much time on editing and letting things stew...

After a crazy 30 days, we can say that Fractured Library is officially FUNDED, and guys, we're getting a Library cat!
We're honestly still in shock by the response, but the main thing we want to say right now is thank you, and we'll have lots to share soon!

I found this video very insightful for character-driven storytelling. My main takeaway was this:
Do your characters drive the story forward in a way that's different than if they were replaced with someone else? Do they steer the story, or does the story steer them?

First I added surfing 💨
Then I fell… like a lot!
Then I added glider calls mid-air to escape fall damage.
This feature development is spiraling out of hand😅

The "ladders" (or vines, in this case) that I've been kicking my butt over, trying to bring to adequate functionality. I think I managed to get something going though, and something I believe controls fairly well!
Here's a glimpse at what I've got 🙂

I wanted to see what #Godot 's support for (pirate) translations was like for @maygame.bsky.social. Thankfully it wasn't too difficult to add basic support for.
Naturally, I'll handle any pirate translations myself. 🙃

Ever wonder how graphics are made for the NES?
Here's how I get full screen graphics, like this, from my PC into my NES game, Super Sunny World🌞! I'll try to keep it high level, and avoid anything super technical.
Details below in thread! 🧵
