Oh lol, if not for your other post, I'd have gone "Have you seen your art?!" etc

But I feel this. I code/design and this chart feels fairly accurate to that progression as well. What has typically brought me back to the high point is trying new coding practices/paradigms rather than what I know.

Aye, auto-friend get! Easiest one yet!

Fucking thank you!

That and coding stuff yourself ( and also fixing those edge cases) leads to discoveries that AI is legit incapable of finding.

Yeah, I switched browsers for some stuff too, (Chrome is still useful for a couple things) but it's funny that no matter how hard google tries to kill off ublock, you can still install it on the browser via other methods.

It's the most frustrating thing that bullshit over IP ownership is what's stopping this.

Reading "about 5% done" is so painful (and not) and relatable. Most of my games end up being way bigger than I initially set out because it's so easy to get lost in the sauce of creation.

Also I really like the gooey/rubbery style of the fox in your game. One day I'll check this out.

God, your reply brought up some core memories.

This reminds me that i-frames don't work for spikes in La-Mulana 2 and it's always funny getting bounced between them.

Water levels are always peak!

lol anyway, I've been seeing a sudden resurgence of DT3 players lately.

No going back a save. You must live with the choices you've made!
For legit advice, I have no idea. I actively tried to go against all romance options just for the hell of it and the game really really tried to get me back into it.

I also don't post about DT4 often in general because one of the big rules of fangames/sprite rip games is that you stfu about it until it's done. Once something is on the internet, it's there forever. The chance of something like DT being sent a takedown notice is incredibly low, but still.
