Hi bsky 👋- it seems I’ve shown up just in time for #promosky so here’s a little bit about me ! I’m an explorer , collector and consumer of stories , unaplogetic side-questor, and this year I’m attempting to build a cozy, indie, travel video game.

Companies make things so easy at sign up and then have you jumping through hoops when it’s time to cancel 🙃. I know it’s been like this forever , everywhere , but it’s still so annoying.

I haven’t watched #ProjectRunway in 1000 years and just picked up this season . Ooooh it is spiiiiicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Between the addition of Law Roach as judge , Christian as mentor , and these contestants. I’m locked in.

I’ve been using my L&D budget to get better at skills for my video game (nothing to do with my day job but the industry knowledge there isn’t something to use L&D on) , and it’s been going well , but I think my Blender tutor just ghosted me 🥹.

Why does #DC traffic start at 3:00 pm ? 🥹🥹🥹
Me leaving the house at 2:50 - I’m going to be a few mins early for my 3:30 appt.
Me at 3:24 still sitting in my uber - I should only be 5-10 mins late 🙃

Me a few days ago : I’m going spend 30 mins fixing this camera clipping issue as a micro-win on a long day.
My progress after a few days of intermittent troubleshooting 🙃—
Making things worse may be a talent lol

Brunch in the morning, #gamedev in the afternoon, #CBCWeekend activities in the evening. A very balanced Saturday ! I fixed a lot of small things of the interior level in terms of proportions so excited to drop some before and after pictures tomorrow. #indiegamedev #unity #3DModeling

Just thinking about that time I fell a little bit in love with Bosnia & Herzegovina over the summer. #travelsky #solotravel #photography

Alright - today’s micro goal is to fix the camera clipping issue on my follow cam . It will be fairly quick (all I’m up to after todays work day ) but feel so satisfying - I know my other hobby #gamedev #indiegamedev folks also have those days where work only leaves you with 30 mins of effort left.

Now that I’m no longer in my summer game dev sprint , diversifying between working on my game and testing out different content channels. First up - #TikTok . #gamedev #indiegamedev #hadtopickthehardhobby

Spent 45 mins troubleshooting why my 3D model wasn’t showing up in my scene . Finally noticed it WAS but just so tiny that I couldn’t see it . Something was totally off with the proportions. 🤦🏾♀️ some days are more productive than others lol #GameDev #Unity #LetsSeeWhatTomorrowBrings

So Sept 1st was the official end of my Cozy Game Dev sprint. Goal : spend 3 months of time over a 4 month consecutive period (adding buffer for my crazy summer travel schedule) to
Build a cozy travel video game based on my trip to Antarctica . 1/2 #indiegamedev #gamedev #creativechallenges

I really think Olandria should do a collab/brand deal with a lotion or body moisturizer because I would buy it in a min. She stays GLOWING . #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUSA

Yall #DC has me stressed. “Officers” are being allowed to be masked, refuse to identify themselves verbally , refuse to provide an ID , and taking people away in unmarked cars. WTF ?! You could have bought that outfit on eBay . How is this acceptable ?!

And then today I got my first animations “idle” and “walk” set up. I’m only about a week into switching to Unity from Godot so it’s nothing crazy to look at but I’m enjoying the engine and excited about my progress! Using my free Mixamo character to prototype. #gamedev #indiegamedev #hobbyhamedev

Even with my travels I’ve been maintaining my “a little bit of incremental progress on my game every day sprint” but have been excited to get back to my PC & full setup in the last 24 hours - I got cinemachine installed and a follow camera set up…& then troubleshot the camera #gamedev #indiegamedev

Random National Guards roaming around DC …odd feeling. However still took advantage of my day off being the start of Restaurant Week. I’m not into an occupied #DC but Bar Angie was tasty. Would definitely recommend.

Followed up #BarrelAndFlow (brews and art) with the #FamilyReunion at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg ( #Food & #Wine) because August is for black centered festivals on my favorite things - beer, wine, food. #BlackSky if you like any of those things, check them out. More photo drops coming.

At this point I think I’m pretty locked in on switching to #Unity for my main project but also planning to do a mini mini project with #Godot . I’m going to make my niece a very simple game that’s on her reading level (Kindergarden) and she can just walk around in. #gamedev #indiegedev

Still playing around with #Unity : I’ve got my charcuterie controller set up. I’m using the default controller , no rigid body. I debugged the few weird things by fixing gravity and having the character face the direction they are moving. #gamedev #indiegamedev

One of my favorite finds & moments from the weekend was discovering beersteins from a 1980s #Oktoberfest for sale.The vendor‘s husband was stationed there in the 80s & she convinced him to part with some of his steins. As a beer lover who also lived… (1/2) #Blacksky #Beer #BarrelAndFlow #Travel
