I'm at the point in my game dev adventure (if you can really call it that lol) where I need to dedicate a lot of time to UI and art. I would be thrilled but the PRESSURE. 😫

oh boy here we go 🙄
The owner of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant has been awarded a $1 billion federal loan guarantee, enabling it to shift onto taxpayers some of the risk of its plan to restart the facility and sell the electricity to Microsoft for its data centers.

My #Stellaris playthrough continues as others start to encroach on my borders and so my god emperor bird (not lizards my bad) is going full throttle to the military. 🙃

First on our list are our slaving neighbors?? Because fuck them! We might be religious nuts but we aren't down with that. 😂

I'm not usually a fan of strategy games but I'm digging Stellaris.

These games lend themselves to great descriptions. Instead of 'clicking through a ton of menus', the emperor god of my lizard aliens are expanding their great galactic empire.

I'm not a huge sports fan but as a Seattle (area these days ...) resident, go Mariners!

I watch baseball for the.. views, yes

I'm still playing Lunar and since Jessica and Kyle have joined me, the dirty jokes have tripled.

I love them 😍
I love this era of JRPG remasters that just add quality of life features (faster combat!!). I just finished the first Suikoden and now I'm playing Lunar.

Anime cutscenes? Voice acting? A slightly offensive cat sidekick?YES

One day I will get tired of the Clair Obscur soundtrack, but not this day.

my mom is probably (not) sick of me asking random questions about what i can do with fabric scraps, why my machine is being stupid (its me) and what accessories i really (don't) need to buy
I ordered a basic sewing machine. I am fully in my crafty old lady era and I am here for it 🥰

the nice thing about designing a game centered around your cat's favorite activity is being able to use various objects in your house as models for your assets 😂

#gamedev sunday!

i've been working on some new sprites because at this point i've got /most/ of the basic gameplay sorted (thanks phaser.io tutorials!) and now it's time for me to put my own spin on things.

taking a break from cute art to instead finishing my power-ups (at least the first, most basic one). I want each cat to have their own power in the future.

second task on the list is finally getting that auto-fire button to work without crashing the entire browser. (hairball limit go!)

the Stellar's Jay is back and extra pissed off today. I like to imagine he's just screaming into the void because, same.

this week's #gamedev goals:

- prevent my shmup power-up from lasting forever as it bounces around the screen, having a great time
- have the 'nip actually do something!

In pinball there's a fine line between being tipsy and *amazing* and drunk and *terrible*.

I am on that line, wobbling back and forth 🤯
