There is nothing more satisfying than getting your kid to school on time

I know, basic parenting task, but listen:

My kid is in pre-k. She is in PM class. MORNING CLASS is insanely early for her. We were out last night at 10pm/530am to pick up/take my wife to work. SO YES, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

The cousins have reunited on Dragon Quest II! This game has such a unique vibe. Extremely charming.

The second overworld song is one of the best songs in the series.

I also want to take some time to talk about rmn. I know people have been missing it, some frustrated, but I'm going to be real:

That place was nothing short of miraculous for many rm devs, nothing I've seen has ever come close. Keeping it alive as long as they did was amazing work.

My friend @bennymakesgames.bsky.social has taken over the reigns of bringing rmn back to life! Benny is a talent, as many of you know from his podcast: RPG Maker Cola and several of his contributions in the RM community, including working with me several times.

I wish him the best of luck!

I'm going to really start trying to post devlogs on itch way more often. (though I wish it was rmn instead, rip)

Here's my first one, just a loose description of what I'm doing with Kissed By A Star. I will eventually go into more detail of the intense dev cycle.

About Kissed By A Star
Kissed By A Star is my magnum opus of my early adulthood. The game where I finally let loose and go as big as I please. I paid my creative dues with the shorter games. With it, I aim to invoke feeling...

Ignoring things such as luck and whatnot, the huge elephant holding back my success as a dev is graphic quality.

I've vastly improved in my dev journey, but it's still nothing 'amazing'. As I get better, people grow pickier.

With that said, I am okay with this and accept it. It's just reality.

Dragon Quest 1 remake started like: hey, this is way easier than the other versions I've played, but still a lot of fun

now it's utterly beating the hell out of me left and right lmao, I just tried like 20+ times on a boss

One of my favorite moments in Dragon Quest 1 is when you enter the first encounter.

It does the most morbidly intense battle music like ever and it's just the slime.

Pretty soon we'll be interviewing the great #RPGMaker developer zDS. If you haven't played his games, you've been missing out. Anybody have questions for him?

i've been a chauffer for my mother in law from norway the past 10 days, so ive barely had time to dev

but now that ive braved the wild jungle that is driving to and from o'hare aiport, im ready to get back to moving pixels and doing a million variations of Show Picture
October 24, 2025 at 4:54 PM
nvm he won me over im going to make him a champion
October 22, 2025 at 1:45 AM
lol

i might spite use him
October 22, 2025 at 1:44 AM
bluesky feels like im in a quiet and comfortable air conditioned place away from it all

i dont have to worry about putting on a show or anything, i can just be like 'i have no idea what im doing' and everyone is kinda like 'same'
October 21, 2025 at 9:46 PM
hey, giving semi release date in trailer before the game is done surely won't bite me

*late october already*
