Finally got time to finish up my MVNA entry for 2 Renpy minigames... still got the minigame itch though, hopefully I can add a few more simple ones over the next few months.
For now, Picross and Memory Match are in there!

Any Renpy devs who see this, what minigames do you wish there was free code for? Contemplating what to do for MVNA this year 🤔

At @adventurex.bsky.social I gave a talk on creating stories from scratch: from idea to full outline, in 25 minutes, with jokes.

Enjoy!

My toxic trait is that every few months I open Inky and start thinking about writing my own Unity line id generator with localisation and VO support with a custom editor just for fun.

Its truly cyclical, and every time I look at other premade options they're never JUST right.

Anyone else doing (unofficial, rip) NaNoWriMo this year? I like the competitive aspect and I'm looking for good alternatives to see how other people are doing at their word count for that good old spite motivator.
My current solution is just a spreadsheet for myself and my mum XD

A video on the hate campaign against Ms. Rachel for being pro-Palestinian children, but really a video about right-wing attacks on children's early education, but really a video about the importance of emotional literacy. Fantastic watch

My favourite thing about Develop is side eyeing other people around Brighton before everyone gets their passes, trying to suss out if they have that game dev energy. What's the game dev equivalent of telling someone you like their shoelaces (gotten from the president)?
