I don't know what to say about it, but I want to say it: I managed to finish my game Fish in the Dark. It just needs some playtesting, and we're good.
I'm kinda proud because it's the first game project I've finished. It was a lot of adventures, tackled bit by bit in my spare time.

After FF7 Rebirth, two paths opened up to me:
– Jump on the "CO: Expedition 33" hype train.
– Try "Promise Mascot Agency", just out of curiosity.
Choose the second one, because I loved @kaizengameworks.com previous game "Paradise Killer". I'm completely hooked.

Played too many hours of FF7 Rebirth. Eventually finished it, leaving behind the wife'n kids.
The least I can do is provide you with an accessible and comprehensive graphic form review.
You're welcome.

I'm working on a version with:
✔️ menus and subtitles (as the game is designed for the blind, this wasn't a priority)
✔️ more polished gameplay
✔️ added content to make the game a complete experience.
... And maybe fewer bugs ? (3/4)

Windjammers is an immediately enjoyable Frisbee game, yet packed with subtleties that make it fun to play over the long term.
Requires tremendous skill to avoid bursting into tears when the Frisbee lands miserably on your court. "plop"
"plop"
It's always your fault.

There are a lot of amazing game anniversaries this month. Today we're celebrating Windjammers' 30th birthday.
If you don't know Windjammers, I suggest you get a friend and give it a spin (it's available on switch).

FF8 art direction:
I'm thinking of this world map where you can follow the rails to contemporary cities, villages frozen in their countryside, universities that could have been created by Gaudi if he'd been abducted by aliens.

I'm thinking of places like Centra ruins, an intimidating octahedron structure with the air of an industrial ruin. strangely enough, there are mostly buildings that mix Baroque, Gothic and Roman styles.

Final Fantasy 8 was released 25 yrs ago.
One of the strangest episodes: an art direction that will,in my opinion,rarely be equaled,a singular atmosphere that oscillates between lightness and unease, unfinished writing that oozes thick mystery. And one of the most incredible ost of all time.

The underrated "Way Of The Samurai" was released 22 yrs ago on ps2.
I have vivid memories of an uneven yet captivating game.Great characters,enjoyable combat (hard at first),&above all: a lot of branching paths that kept you coming back for more.
I wonder if it's still enjoyable today🤔

Rethinking the game UI, to be more consistent with recent gameplay changes.
It always looks simpler when it's on paper.

I just looked at the Sun Microsystems logo, like really looked. And I think it's brilliant!
This kind of design is called an ambigram, a process to create another meanings when the image is turned or flipped.

I had to clean up my game's code a lot. I learned through pain that a TURN-based game needs clockwork management regarding the "TURN".
Now my TURN is divided into sub-TURNs:
- preview the placement of a tile
- place tile
- move monsters
- apply tiles & monsters effects
And it's TURNing out well.

😃 Today I'll be coding the mob's pathfinding. Should be done in 1 hour! It simply has to go down & avoid obstacles.
4pm:
🤨 It doesn't work at all when there's a dead end & I have to stop the player from blocking the way!
5pm:
🤯 Discovering pathfinding algorithms.
8pm:
🍺 FINISHED.

Making small progress on the match3 TD prototype. You can place tiles with a cute little preview.
If the cell isn't available, the preview warns you with a red cross and you can't place anything.
Doesn't look like it, but it was a puzzle to get the tile provider to work fine with the tile remover.
