Very minor but extremely satisfying victory: "scroll to read will" is back in my game.
It was causing me great distress that I'd had to change it to a button press (since that initial transition is an overly-complicated canned animation), but then I remembered that computers can do arithmetic.

Praise for The Banished Vault almost always mentions the beauty of @garin.bsky.social 's art.
garin captured the tone of the game perfectly in their work: the interstellar-gothic design, the unforgiving beauty of space, and the plight of Exiles facing ever-slimming chances of survival.

making games is great because you can make a source file called "caves" and it's all algorithms for generating caves.

Unsolicited Monday game dev advice:
When getting started for the week, try to find easy wins. Fix small bugs or add little bits of polish.
This helps get back into the groove and gain momentum for bigger stuff later in the week.
That's it! Hope you're having fun with your game 🛠️

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

Since I’m doing both art and programming for my game, I get to not only violate decades worth of computer science findings about code design and architecture, but also blaspheme centuries worth of study and understanding of perspective! #doublethreat

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
