Making Applicant Hell, a game about applying to jobs.
Still finding my footing in this world.

Hello. I will be sharing development of Applicant Hell, a game I am making to stay sane in the depths of unemployment.
Still working on the second minigame, but I had an idea for a neat active ability that reveals bad job listings.

I am wading the lake of corpospeak, and I dearly wish I am not drowned. It is a treacherous crossing in the lands of unemployment.

The Theatre whirrs. Phantasms before you, now gone. A certainty: The World is cruel; it should not be.

Bluesky has obliterated my PNGs in this thread, but luckily they were screenshots of text anyways. See the alt text.

Most Odin examples will show you that to use Raylib, you must prefix your way into its namespace. Some would say the prefix exists for code maintenance reasons.
But the real reason is to annoy you so that you don't finish making your video game.

Mushishi BGM save me from this haunting turmoil.

I am considering making a curses-style frontend for Bluesky / Mastodon in C, but that seems like an even poorer financial decision than trying to make a video game.

This is what the game looks like so far. I haven't mentioned, but it's kind of a clicker game with minigames.

Do you think Henry David Thoreau would personally disapprove of melatonin pills, even if I walked 3 kilometers to get them?

Ah, new progress. There are now many upgrades to help you apply to more job listings.

Busy encoding wretchedness into this exe file, maybe add bittersweet triumph later

Little minigame to get more job listings so you can look at more job descriptions so you can apply for more jobs because you need a job!! #gamedev

I have been reading the Japanese translation of Frog and Toad Are Friends, to practice. I must say these fellows are positively delightful. It's a shame I wake up stressed from the threat of homelessness.

I'll be occasionally sharing ramble-writings from my game under #flavortext

Accidentally made a horror sting for the upgrade sound. Fitting in a game about devoting too much of yourself to applying for jobs, but not what I was going for.
