What day is it anyway? How do any of you keep track anymore?!

Take a detour and add a little keybind menu. How long could that possibly take? I'm sure you'll knock that out in a couple hours, no biggie right?!

This rabbit hole was like 2 damn weeks of my time!

For #indiegamedev, I try to cover at least 100 games each Next Fest, and if you have a demo in the event, let me know so I can check out yours.
Tomorrow is the start of next fest, which means it's time to put the word out that I'll be covering the event and looking for as many #indiegamedev demos premiering to play on my stream.

A really nice playthrough of Fantastic Finding's demo!

I really enjoyed that; even though I am really scared every time I watch people play my game! 😅

But check out Matt Plays' video, if you're curious about the demo :)

Anybody else every have those days where you look at a super common and easy to spell word and suddenly not recognize the spelling?

Brain, we've been over this before. Event is spelled Event, we do not need to look it up. It's 5 letters and not even one of those tricky words. Just do your damn job

I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

I forgot to put a cap on the customer spawn rate and ended up with a retail apocalypse 😂

Been a while #screenshotsaturday! Here's a new feature I've been working on for "officially" claiming land for your shop. It isn't a hard restriction, but instead an incentive to keep your shop in a specific area by granting bonuses to your shop's popularity and item values!

Keeping up with Goblin Logs! Here's Log #2, where I break down what Concept Cores are and how they can change the flow of haggling 🎲

If nothing else, writing this helped me think of a few more improvements I can still make to the system. 🛠️

Sometimes you just need to tweak the rules a bit to get the edge in haggling!

🎲New Dice Effect: Stop Loss📉
A dice effect that triggers when the current price would result in a loss of +20% to let you close out the deal at a 15% loss instead.

The idea came to me after my opponent rolled a 6 three times in a row and I got pissy about it. 😂

The answer is maybe, always maybe. Hedge your bets on maybe. Sometimes possibly or even eventually, but usually maybe. 👍

Introducing: Goblin Logs - like dev logs, but for goblins!👍

Ok, but really these are more about going over a specific mechanic in details that I wouldn't want to use for an in-game tutorial.
This first one will arguably be the most important, haggling mechanics!🎲

Haggling is all about using your dice to manipulate/manage composure to gain a greater influence over the item's price.

Goofed up on the AI and left the Tavern Keeper wandering the map. Calling her over to the shop register was apparently too much effort for her and she gave up half way through lol. "Screw it, just yell your order from across the river!"😂

So while setting up the shops, I thought it would be nice if you could see at a glance what that shop's "Featured Merch" was without having to go through menus. These displays will update daily to show any high demand items the shop has!

I got so distracted ranting about that mega Raichu design, I almost forgot to post this.

🎲Gobutiko will be in the Cozy Job Simulators event on Steam! Is beating your customers with dice to siphon more cash cozy? Probably!

Forgive me my rant, but as a starving Raichu fan who hasn't eaten in a while I have thoughts! You forget my boy exists so the yellow mascot can mascot, but when you finally remember to give Raichu a spotlight it still getting the pikachu treatment! 🧵
