I just realized...I might need to change my game to a falling down clone. I don't think you realize how devastating this is to me because it's such a good idea.

I have deemed posting pictures of wrapped burgers but no accompanying pictures of the food unwrapped, a social media crime.
I will not be taking questions.

We're encountering problems getting investment for our newest title, and getting investment for that could save us for the next years to come of that game's development and while we wait for Keylocker to pick up. Getting investment for that game could also save Moonana altogether.

New glitch. I mapped the left mouse button to jump and it behaves radically different than mapped spacebar/joystick button, resulting in the super high jump below. The player should definitely not be able to jump this high, the last small hop is the typical height!

If a box baking mix says you can use an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, what it really means is you can set the difficulty to easy mode or hard mode.

My gamedev company - Moonana - is currently going bankrupt slowly after 7 years of hard work and being able to pay all staff (an indiedev miracle). We've made a christmas game to thank our fans over the years and say our goodbyes worse comes to be. This is a thread on our history & our newest title.

GameDev question. Working on controls.
Right now, keyboard only works if joystick is disconnected. If a joystick is plugged back in, keyboard is disabled.
That sound right?

Just finished Animal Well, fantastic experience overall. I do hate when I find out I missed all the community fun when it first released.
