matt says: please answer my riddles three im desperate here

peeking over the edge wondering if they can please have a spoonful of pudding. could you please give them a spoonful of pudding from the dinner table.

as a gifted kid syndrome burnout who got conditioned to believe he was only valuable because he could do academia well then crashed and burned when he found out that's Not How Everything Else Works. you can do it. i promise. doing it bad is not a moral failing.

if there's anything i can be proud of, it's that my shitty pencil sketches are Mine And Mine Alone. my hands smudged that graphite onto that paper. this poor woman about to be lit on fire is proof of my creative drive. quality is not an absolute value that's possible to optimize.

fuck it, i'm entering my concept art phase. here's a draft for the main gameplay screen for Oh, Wizard!, a wizardry-based fantasy deckbuilder where you combine elements into powerful magic spells that might actually help the people trusting you to solve their problems

panic attack type video game. i love it

low quality sketches for the wizard game, enemy concepts who approach you, a wizard, for various purposes

i love having work because i enjoy having money to pay for things but i also run out of energy for all other aspects of my life so that kinda sucks

oh f u c k

oh boy! i love game design, and I can't wait to continue working on my collectible trading card game with a high fantasy aesthetic about making the most of limited resources with an emphasis on sequencing and player choice. i sure hope this is a good time to make and release a deckbuilding card game

executed for trying to run away. brutal stuff.

i exclusively get into things too late. i'm comfortably lagging behind the crowd. i got zero worms due to being early. catch me on the blunt edge of innovation.

edited out his beard and cowl for privacy reasons

he just gave me this look and then went under

nahhh bruh i just saw a druid bury himself in a bog and call it a protective ward. like he used a shovel and everything

it's time for my semi-annual crosscode replay to regain my zest for game development and creativity

there's already like three ways to accidentally kill yourself. it's great.

in actually interesting game design stuff, for my four-elements-wizard-alchemy-card-game, combining cards makes bigger effects and more complicated elements. combining a lot of air together causes a big gust of wind that spreads around statuses between everything

like fire

added a delay between actions so i can tell what the hell is happening in my game with my human eyes

game dev makes you sound fucking insane

okay turns out i just hadn't replaced the icon for being frozen and it defaulted to the one for being on fire, which is apparently the default state of being

i cast level three freeze on a guy who got caught in the rain but he caught on fire instead. does that make me a terrible wizard or a really cool one

tapping the goddamn sign for those who need to see it

fear not. guy on fire survives at least half of my playtests.

A screenshot of a prototype for a trading card game. Against a grey background, a handful of gold-bordered cards sit in various formations before a pair of characters: a crude goblin's face and a silhouette of a man on fire. An icon to the left of the burning man indicates he is on fire for five turns. The cards contain images and subtitles depicting elements: air, fire, earth, and water. Two are placed in the center of the screen, an air and a fire card, and to the right is a description of the spell that would be cast by combining them: "Lightning Bolt. Strike a random character with lightning for 20 damage." A grey button reading "Submit Cards" sits on the screen, ready to cast the player's spell on their unfortunate enemies.

graphic design is not my passion but i put some text on the screen. maybe now you can tell that there's some sick wizard shit going on

commercial software dev bores me to death, i barely scraped by in my compsci degree. but i love programming for games. i don't know what the difference is

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
