I've seen some indie games with a built-in achievement-tracking screen and decided to make one too.

Not every gaming platform has an achievements system, so this would make sure everyone could experience it.

there is a rarely (if ever?) spoken about gamecube era aesthetic of stylized graphics mixed with textures made from real world photographs and I hope a bunch of indie devs embrace this at some point

Aaaaaallllllright holiday shenanigans are over. *stretches*

Time to get back to work on the game('s menus).

(I think this is the full diagram of what's needed and how they're connected. Just need to finish implementing.)

As the days get colder and colder in the real world, how about warming up with a little bit of sport?
This is the court game, a minigame in Knight George!

Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...

fallout show has people posting about new vegas which always reminds of this quote from the new vegas DLC, which unironically got picked up by the self help community like he's a real go getter and not a militant cult leader in a computer game

I remember back in elementary school, they showed us this book: The Dot. The protagonist said he just couldn't draw, after the art teacher remarked upon his blank project. Upon being pressed, the kid used his pencil to put a dot on the paper, and the teacher said: "Sign it."
