Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

I have pushed ladders for a later time 🤘🏻🎉
This week I’ve been mostly working on ladders. Which is about as fun as ever.
This evening I am puzzling over a debug log I left myself - “you are not moving intentionally”

GOLDEN AXE DooM!
Decided to spice up the beginning to add some dramatic flair to the final showdown of MAP09!
A moot on twitter gave me the idea after showing me a bit from Chrono Trigger
I am very excited for you all to experience the final boss fight, I have a lot of cool ideas in store!

Ok so I’ve been pretty unproductive one way or the other but I DID eventually figure out why ALL GAMES stutter a bit on my laptop. Turns out I just needed to sort out the fans. If you use Linux on a thinkpad you should look at thinkfan - github.com/vmatare/thin...

The best thing about this is how shifty the bird looks, like “nothing to see here, turd-o-cop”

This week I worked on:
- getting the crowbar up and running (switched to a hitscan implementation
- viewmodel shader to stop it disappearing through objects
- made those sweet cans of beans a little bouncier

Ok so I think I can see where I went wrong with the crowbar physics but it's also pretty funny.

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏
We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch
If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️
