Having only started reading properly about this time last year, I'm pretty proud of myself reaching this goal early. May seem small, but for me it means a-lot xD

I recently made a custom insert for my Travelers notebook that I got back in April. I needed a diary that would be a single insert, with a weekly view per side of a page. I though I'd share the design and how it went: jonathan.carter.games/2025/06/29/m...

I've had a Traveler's Notebook on pre-order for 3 weeks. It's turned up today and is amazing! It's going to get a lot of use over the years for journaling, sketching, designing /planning etc.

I wrote a little blog post about it all, which you can read here: jonathan.carter.games/2025/04/24/m...

Save Manager Update!

A bug-fix update for the Save Manager is now live. I was working on a project and went "Oh Fudge" as the editor threw loads of errors when deleting a save object. So I had to fix that quickly xD

A little progress. I have been trying to get vision cones working. It's being a pain. I did however get this player target indicator working, so you can see where you're going xD

Yukute announced! The keyboard based game I teased a week or so ago now. Progress has been good, so looking to make a protoype level or two out of it xD

Along with Sakura will be prototyped in 2025. Here's a little video of the work as of the 29th. Basic player movement & keyboard objects:

Q = Hold/Release

A little prototype I've been starting to work on. The idea is stealth game with a keyboard interacting with the environment.

Early days but looking slick so far, still gotta sort a player try a level etc.

Been working on this for the last week or so. The GUI was certainly a pain, but its almost done now xD
A little sneak peek at Notion to Unity with filters support. It is the last major feature I wanted to add when I made the tool initially.

Just ironing out the kinks currently and hoping to have it out soon.

(1/5) I've officially left Twitter as of today. I thought I'd give an introduction to myself, what I do etc. Thread below:

- I go by J online, just the shortest version of my actual name.
- I work as a game dev full-time, and do some additional bits out of hours.
November 30, 2024 at 12:25 PM
Slowly finding followers I followed on Twitter and following new peeps here. Will do a proper introduction of myself on here next weekend when I get the time xD I'll mostly be posting game related posts, sharing my side hustle posts and anything I find interesting or can relate to xD

A little tool I've just updated. Been sitting on the update for a while, but managed to finish it up this week. It downloads notion databases into scriptable objects in unity. Handy for like any project.
