I haven’t tried to figure out exactly what’s going on yet bc I enjoy basking in the cloud of mystery that is this bug

The extra fun part here is that it’s all my own physics code. Leaning toward not addressing.

When I saw this bug for the first time, I legit laughed out loud

Would you play a mouse-only game with a controller?

I have an opportunity to live demo my game soon but they require controller support. So I’m rushing to add controller support!

1 or 2. I like 2 bc it’s fun. 3 is madness.

Got this in the mail unprompted.

Considering a career change. This could be a sign.

I love when I'm listening to some electronic music on Spotify that I've never heard before and suddenly it samples a line from some movie. This song just played a clip from Terminator and I am locked in now.

The reasons are a possible GDC opportunity. So I’ve got a fun deadline too!

I created a custom editor to make art in this style

It supports different β€œbrush” sizes, layers, color palettes, undo/redo, and a preview mode

It’s a lot of fun to work with!

I believe most of societies ills would be instantly cured if we replaced TikTok with ABC’s 1996 TGIF lineup

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Finally did it. I think I can make it even better but this is pretty fun.

My framerate was only 175. This is unacceptable.

I optimized and now it’s at 400. Better.

School? You don’t need it anyone once you have the official Slumber Realm video game!

Imagine the MILLIONS of dollars of student debt you will save just by fighting a rock enemy with dice

I’ve been working on my game’s camera

It subtly tracks the mouse, zooms into characters at dramatic moments, and shakes in response to damage

Any other ideas for ways to make a camera pop?

It’s been a while! I think I last saw it on Comedy Central in 1997. That’s a great reference. I’ll include it in some form if not the name.

Why does this volcano without arms need a pen?

This is what I’m pondering today
