In the latest edition of "Matt Attempts Game Develop-y Stuff" I create a new character that needs to also sit down. Definitely don't look at the botch job on the legs.

Just finished the Roottrees Are Dead. Really enjoyed this. Was quite difficult and had to consult the duck a few times (makes sense when you play the game) but overall a satifying experience.

A couple of days ago, I sat and played through Asterism by upcoming guest Claire Morwood (@shimmerglitch.bsky.social). A game that is more an interactive concept-album-music-video, as you traverse several mini interactive sections set to music.

TWO WEEKS TO GO (if you pretend I posted this yesterday when I was supposed to) until @shimmerglitch.bsky.social starts the return of the podcast in 2025 as she talks about @davekki.bsky.social's "Dark Nights With Poe & Munro"

#Pointnclickfriday (shut up it's not late because I didn't have time to post anything yesterday).
First time really doing anything game dev related with a game called "Feels Like Summer" which is set at a music festival Which combines my two great loves: live music and adventure games!

Finished The Will of Arthur Flabbington. Absolutely utterly loved this. I loved it's sense of humour. I loved the characterisation of both leads. The dialogue was great. The puzzles were challenging (had to consult a walkthrough a few times). I really liked it.

What *is* the plan, eh? I'm about to sit down and play 2020's Dark Nights with Poe & Munro in prep for an episode recording later this week.
Have you played it? Did you enjoy it? Thoughts and comments are welcome and may get read out during the episode!

I've worked out how to do dialogs in cutscenes and such as well as doing a background! I feel as if this is a major milestone.

Things I never thought I'd find interesting: the differences in laying out stuff from Feels like Summer's original "backgrounds for a visual novel" and adapting/changing them for Adventure Game Studio. Take "The Avenue" for example...first image is original one. Second is the Point 'n' click one.
