IT. IS. DONE! At 40 years old, I've finally fulfilled my dream of making and releasing my own game. Never forget that there is nothing you can't do. No matter what you dream, the power to make it real is yours to command!

1/2
In the week after release, I've been wrestling with some feelings. The sense of accomplishment is still there, but now I feel like I could have spent those 2 years pursuing a stable means of income instead of chasing dreams. The feeling that I wasted my time is all too real😔

Well, if there was a rule against trailers for #ScreenshotSaturday, I'm breaking it too 😏

As if I wasn't hyped enough for this game, @archangelsoftworks.co.uk goes and drops this awesome trailer for #HighwayNoir. I'll take 2, sir.

Does #ScreenshotSaturday allow videos? And can those videos be trailers?

Have a nice weekend!

Gamers I need suggestions.

If you played a physics-based dice rolling game, would you prefer an orthographic or perspective view? Ignore that the dice are currently hard to read for both lol

Day 2 of reworking Godscrown for networking. I've got card drawing functional, and I've started to lay out the game to allow for translations and lore dumps. Also, 5-card-hands and a better player info display!
New layout of the game! Featuring displaying the hands of opponents, new tally for horror counts, a more compact player display, and 5 card hands! Not shown, horror cards have their text moved to the top of the screen, with a small description/flavor text below it. That'll give me some room for lore drops. Also not shown, top right will be used for displaying various game states like reversal effects or other things!

BREAKING: In Colorado, Voters approved a ballot measure to raise state income taxes on households earning $300,000 or more in order to fund free meals for all public school students.

They voted to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for free meals for public school students.

Three years ago I made this No Man’s Sky inspired terrarium for my spouse :3

It’s still doing great!
In a geometric glass and gold terrarium, an astronaut, a piece of bark, an amethyst, and a few air plants on top of a bunch of bright red, blue, and yellow moss. Behind the astronaut are red cactus like aquarium plants, all inspired by the worlds of No Man’s Sky

Player 3 will likely host a game jam sometime during the month of February.
Something themed around the nostalgia and the love of 90s/early 2000s gaming.

We hope to give out meaningful rewards and trophies, inspired by the YouTube Play plaque.

Planning the vision...

Reminder that I have a feed intended for major updates for games that are being self published. This is intended as one place to look regularly to see what's going on in the self published world.

However I mostly update it myself, but I do that almost every day.

I need some placeholder dialogue so I opened Audacity and am currently having a confrontation with myself into a headset microphone because I'll be damned if I'm outsourcing even this to genAI
