Having a blast watching my wife play Dynasty Warriors: Origins. We're both old hat to the series (4 and 5 specifically), but further sequels disappointed us.
Hearing that Origins only had a single playable character made us skeptical, but I'm really glad we gave it a try!

To describe how fickle I am, a single positive comment on an old video was enough to get me to boot up the old video editor and make some more #ProblemSleuth content.
It's a reading I do of this webcomic, plus sfx and music. You can find the playlist here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0IG...

Listening to the Sonic Hysteria soundtrack by NicoCW while I work on Stardust Survivors! Some of the best music from the Sonic fandom. #sonichysteria #sonicmusic #stardustsurvivors #indiedev #gamedev #boundergames

Here's a weird optical illusion I found while modelling: the two black lines in the center are completely straight, yet there's this bulge in the middle. :'V #3dmodelling #gamedev #indiedev

Used to see a lot of 3D art back on Twitter, glad to see others like @molegato keeping it going on other platforms. If you haven't played their game Frogun yet, go grab it on steam! Great, classy platformer. #wireframewednesday #blender #blender3d #stardustsurvivors #indiedev #gamedev #frogun

Wildly different characters (Quark, Dr Nefarious, Andrew Ryan) who share the same actor: Armin Shimerman.

I don't really play Hearthstone anymore, but I've always loved it for the different ways it portrays the World of Warcraft. I love Mean Streets of Gadgetzan so much that I wish it was a part of WoW (I'd love to make a Starcraft 2 mod inspired by it, but I'll talk about that later). #hearthstone

Following on from yesterday's post, another interesting presentation came from Victor Paredes of #Moho. Moho is an #animation software that does quite a few interesting things with #vectorart.

Popped down to #Edinburgh for the #MOVESummit, a series of talks on the UK #Animation industry. The Thursday portion began with a talk from Christopher McDonald from #Framestore, showcasing the technological pre-production (or "Previs") done for movies, with #Wicked Part 1 as the example.

We use #Trello for our dev work organisation. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done. Each card is a task, broken down via checklists into steps. It helps us keep track with what the other is doing. #StardustSurvivors #indiedev #gamedev

Most recent character for #StardustSurvivors : M.R.! A space-enthusiast who can call down rolling, flaming meteors. From Space™! These meteors can be upgraded to split into shrapnel, cause impact explosions, or leave a burn! #indiedev #gamedev #boundergames

Rediscovered this treasure. My bible circa 2009; discovered I still use most of the tricks I learned from this book today. Animating waves using masks, proper gradients, animation principles, etc. Its advice is still relevant even after Flash's demise. #adobeflash #indiedev #gamedev #actionscript

But it's functional so far, once I looked up a few shortcuts.
A little snowman should be easy for them to make, simple shapes for a simple character.

I've been called into college to fill in for an animation class. Looks like they're using #Illustrator to make art and After Effects to animate. It's early on in the term, so I'll start from the basics to see what they know already. I use #Inkscape for #ArmouredEngines and #StardustSurvivors.

I’ve learned a lot from her over the 11 or so years we’ve been together, and I’d be a far worse person without her. <3
She's been obsessed with Ascendance of a Bookworm for the last couple weeks, so here's some Rozemyne.

The goal of the game is to outlast an infinitely-spawning series of enemy waves by destroying them to level up, gaining new abilities and attacks, most of which auto-fire without your direct input.

Let’s start with what I’m actually working on. Stardust Survivors is a “Survivors” game, a sub-genre made popular by 2022’s Vampire Survivors. If you don’t know what that is, it’s like a twin-stick shooter, except you only have the one stick. #indiedev #stardustsurvivors #gamedev #boundergames

I have that power to choose already; medication will just make it easier. Oh yeah. I got this from an ADHD support group I went to; I have it blu-tacked to the wall behind my monitor. I forget it’s there half the time, but it’s good advice.

That quote struck me, and I could feel what Li Zheng could feel. That need to pass on what I make. Shame is the great assassin of creativity. If I could be a fraction as confident as Kojima-san, I might be able to look at myself with pride.
For me, no more excuses. Time to Make!
