Trying to make new friends in a new city feels like being back in kindergarten. "Hi my name is Evan. I like big colored blocks. Do you like big colored blocks. Let's get together and stack big colored blocks on top of each other and drink juice boxes." And it works.

Added a "buzzsaw" enemy which can move back and forth. That was pretty much the whole day for me. Otherwise still putting in more levels.

Still working on adding in all the levels. It's taking a while but it feels good to know the game is getting closer to being done.

I gotta tell you, long before the advent of AI, the expense of paying the writer was already, with very few exceptions, not a significant part of the cost equation. I think we’re just dealing with people who see the existence of humans as a problem to solve.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

In the process of filling out the levels in the game. Added some fun little jumping puzzles. Fun for me, at least.

And of course, here's the demo you can play (of a slightly earlier version)!

QOL improvement: if you climb off the top of a ladder but you're a couple pixels off, the game puts you on top so you don't fall off.

I've also been really working some early areas to help guide the player better.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

Starting to add the gems and functionality to the game. This screenshot came 2 seconds before I crashed it. Oops.

Anyway, I recently put out a demo of the game on itch.io - check it out here: keyofw.itch.io/tms84-demo

(Demo doesn't have the bug that crashed the game, lol)
