Refactored the battle logic and figured out a better way to handle 2D sprites in a 3D world with rotatable camera. The neat thing is I only need 2 versions of each animation: front and back facing. I can flip either of those horizontally to account for the other two angles

Our president is a fascist and those who support him are as well
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Been trying to draw a little more recently as I've been struggling to latch onto a new game project. Here's a couple Trapezoids in perspective boxes. Gotta push myself to draw more kinds of stuff though.

Up to 5 reviews for Critter Drifters (although there's actually 7, dunno what that's about)

All positive so far! With some fair criticisms too, but I'm pretty happy with the consensus so far. If you've played it, please consider leaving a review! Getting to 10 makes Steam boost it in the algorithm.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Now that Critter Drifters is out, I've been spending more time on the "what next?" question. Still exploring ideas, but I'm finding myself drawn to a casual RPG with turn-based battles.

Think a mix of Mario+Rabbids, Paper Mario, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Post launch update coming for Critter Drifters later today. Mostly just tweaking levels and reducing friction points where it wasn't as obvious where to go.

Code is cheap. Of course this is a nuanced topic but I generally feel this way.

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯

I would love to make a casual RPG like Paper Mario one day. But that is very, VERY daunting. So what I'm doing is making a bare bones "engine" without any graphical polish, characters, or story consideration.

Given enough time and effort, maybe something will come of it!

If you play my game, please consider leaving a review. Getting to 10 reviews (good or bad) is huge on Steam for visibility, so I'd really appreciate it!

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.

Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

I've gotten several emails today asking for steam keys for my game.

All likely scams, but the funny thing is how easy they are to spot because they don't even attempt to talk about the game itself -- just insert its name into an obvious template that gets sent to just-released games.
