No "Slay the Spire" for #Playdate, but work begins on #Wicked, our #Playdate rogue-like Dungeon-crawling card game. You should see gameplay in about a week. 😉

Yo! I'm Brian, solo #indiedev for the upcoming shmup, Proto Trigger. I love languages, action games, survival horror and pestering my cat.
Thought I'd share a goofy one of me dressed as Clyde (of Bonnie & fame) when I wanted to get into modelling a few years back 😅;

I did try some things for the sfx
So far, I like it, but I intended the aesthetic to include a cute lil dude, but I haven't draw anything for it, yet
So I'm not sure if it'll work well with the skull in the clock, the sounds, etc
We'll see

Well, it was...something
Could be useful to make code you really don't care about
You can start a project with a legacy codebase: the dream of all devs
Best case, it'll only get to a place you already knew, quickly
Worst case, it'll left you stranded, in a lonely place

Claude feel like the cliché of an intern (I know, I was one, a long time ago): No design/functional thinking, only raw tech output
At least, its honest by it, as I feel a bit more relevant in my thinking than I thought
Even then, I feel more like some unsatisfied manager

Claude has developed the same reflex has some intern I knew: Jumping to conclusions
At least, the worst part is not its fault
I starting to feel some hatred toward expo go

There is something to be said about claude explaining a pun I made, as if to prove it was well understood
I know it's my fault for asking for its opinion
Still

🖼️ New Painting!
The Duke of Urbino by Francesca
Back to the Renaissance! I had some that were too hard. This is much more reasonable. Love the profile. Think that 👃 will result in some fun forgeries.

I may going dark for the rest of the day
I need to do things related to my "employability", like, wrapping my head around some use of claude/cursor
I wonder how far my schism will go, with me not wanting generative ai in my games, but forced to use it professionally

I need to find good sounds for scoring and a few other things and I will be done with sfx
Well, mostly, obviously because the remaining 1% take 99% of the time
But I'm satisfied enough and there's bug & stuff to iron out, so

Bonus/penalty mapping to symbols
Stocking variations of mapping, and only picking one at random feel a lot simpler than what could have been an elegant but complex way to "randomly sort" said mapping

Turns out it’s already 7 years ago. I kept trying to improve the game and forgot about the time entirely. But I hope you can share the joy with me as you witness my growth :)

I'm making progress on the UI of the selection level.
My last addition for this night is the level of success.

Not really sure about writing a failsafe: The file is not updated by the datastore (I know why), and the wrapper won't return the proper scores
I may be doing something wrong, but right now, I just want to sleep
I'll keep this (crucial) feature for later

chicken or egg type of problem
I only hope a "fake scoreboard api" server exist somewhere
Because I don't really want to code this part again

Found out about the "requirement" for accessing the scoreboard api: I will use pdScoreboards
And find a good visual feedback for loading
