Hi there, internet friends old and new! I've been hiding on Mastodon and repeatedly reinventing my whole gamedev practice these past few years, and I thought it was about time I popped in here to see what everyone else is up to. Hello!

Hi Ted! Are you still working on the iso racer game from a while ago? That looked really nice.

I put Derbytown on the shelf for now because it was too tough for me to program. I want to come back to it some day though! I've been working on a turn-based game for awhile, it's coming along well. Here's an old video of it and some art bsky.app/profile/tedm... bsky.app/profile/tedm...

Think I might share more process stuff from my game. Here's a vibe test drawing I made yesterday. It's a top-down game, but this could be in a story intro to set up the adventure, concept art for an area, or promo artwork.

Okay yep those tiles look really fun! I don't remember if I ever offered to collab and code for Derbytown, but it's been years since I worked on a top-down racer and I'd love to get back to it. I'd have to chew through a lot of project backlog first though. But yeah, maybe someday if you're keen?

That's nice of you to offer! I remember talking with you about top-down racers, yeah. Derbytown is kind of my white whale at this point haha 😅 Doing all the parts of development has been a goal of mine, so I was planning on coming back to it when I'm ready to learn 3D programming.
