They always do this stuff during the end of the year, arguably the worst time for someone to lose their job.

I must say, #GameMaker made adding this feature WAY easier than I expected. Kudos to the @gamemaker.io team. I love you folks. 🥂

I'm not one to complain but that might be enough trailers now, Nintendo. 😂 #Zelda #OoT

Last movie you saw 🎬 Last game you played 🎮 Last show you watched 🖥 Last song you listened to 🎵

Maybe I am crazy but the next #CallOfDuty should add Player Housing.

Tooting my own horn here but this might be the best eyes I've ever done. TOOT!

UX in #Gamedesign important. When you get new cards in my game, you get a new filter in your spellbook. Easily see what was recently added to your collection without the need to flip through pages looking for red dots/special borders. #Gamedev #WIP

I couldn't help myself. #Art

Hey #Gamedev and happy Sunday! Milestone: All 200 set 1 cards are in-game and running. Lot of playtesting going on with a huuuuge art push under way. Very excited! Xmas could come early.... 🤞 Today I am relaxing and working on holo effects. Here's a quick look-see: #GameMaker #Indiegame #WIP

When I say this I don't mean ALL games: We need to get back to games not holding our hands every step of the way. I think as designers we should foster CURIOSITY in gameplay which triggers EXPLORATION. The combination of these two things are primal joys missing today. #Gamedev #Gamedesign

Hi #Gamedev! Hope your day is going well. Real quick advice, you're not going to always be motivated and that doesn't mean your ideas are bad. You're just low on dopamine. Stay disciplined and it will pass quickly! Remember, good work is highs and lows. Stay focused! Good luck!

A digital Ocarina you say? #Zelda #OoT

Was thinking about #Zelda today and how the music has been remixed so many times it must be difficult for the composers of the game to come up with something new but stay true to the original. I don't envy that task!

In order to save time on art production I am introducing a revolutionary new NPC to the lineup: Invisible Wizard. #Gamedev #Indiegame

Nintendo is literally giving me my dream game with The Ocarina of Time. Everything about it looks exactly how I wanted. The mood, the setting, the gritty earthy look to everything. Perfection.

I ate too much macaroni salad and now I can't move. Happy day-off day everyone! #LaborDay #FoodComa

This is the side of humanity I adore. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9_7...

More and more witches have been using phones while flying and I think we need to remind our magical friends this is dangerous! Don't text and fly!

Two Nintendo directs next week. TWO! Then a Treehouse Live! Ahhhhhhhhh yes!!!

I need to find a way to make my CCG more 'screenshottable' - rows of cards isn't very exciting!

Lorcana book came in! It's really nice!

Woke up to this. Samsung told me just buy a new one. Today just became expensive. :(

Not been tracking #Lorcana in a while, when did they do this!? Maaaaan, this game is so pretty. Wish I could afford to play lol.

Where do I put the CD in my Switch 2?

Good morning, #gamedev and happy Monday! Hope your weekend was refreshing! Heavy art for Inkwell this week, very excited! Today: Enemy concept art and building out 'coverage' game mode! #WIP

"Thinking about hats..." #Gamedev #Indiegame

This weekend I'll be enjoying all of the 3 food groups:

Happy Monday to you all! Not much new to show for Inkwell today, just a lot of coding going on. New enemies and art this week! Yay! 🎶 I hope this week treats you well, so treat yourself well and have a great day! #Gamedev #Gaming

Sometimes things go wrong in #gamedev.....

Inkwell: Added some motion to the ink placement. Particle effects for the splash and 'drips' are up next. Not looking too bad! #Gamedev #GameMaker #WIP

Does anyone remember when #Lorcana said they would be play/LGS focused? Now they seem entirely focused on collector prints and inflating the value of blind pulls. A damn shame to see such a fun game taken to the cleaners. Really sad.

I think #gaming could use a reminder that it is just video games, not life and death. Keep it magical.

Good morning and happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I am working on fine tuning (twin-stick) reticle movement and behavior. Currently reticle is tethered to the player and will vanish once in idle. #Gamedev #GameMaker #WIP

Imagine a world without scalpers....

Hear me out, an ink blob with ears isn't a mouse.

Hey friends, the Avengers trailer is out! #Doomsday

1,000 trees with wind direction, fully zoomed out, 0.003 framerate impact. #Gamedev #GameMaker

Watching what is happening to paper TCG is breaking my heart. It's very difficult to enjoy these games ( #Lorcana, #Pokemon, #MTG, etc) when there are so many hoops to jump through and scalpers destroying everything. I just want to play cards, man.

So I just started a #PokemonGO journey last night, and I must say... living in a rural area isn't really that fun if you look at what people in the city get. I guess this game just isn't for us mountain folks.

Installed Pokemon GO while insomnia kept me up tonight, was out at 1am walking around for the tutorial and got soaked when the sprinklers came on! HAH!

Inkwell: Added wind. Working visual layers this week so that I can benchmark alongside the in-game editor. Performance is super important for a game like this. The editor to live play system has to be seamless. #Gamedev #WIP #GameMaker

I predict the OoT Direct will be on the 29th of July.

Posted without comment. #GameMaker #Gamedev #WIP

Inkwell #Gamedev: Mostly working on optimizing a surface system today, all data stuff. Caching graphics data so things like ink surface can be rebuilt if it lost from VRAM. Might take the weekend off, we'll see. :)

I thought about buying some #Lorcana this week, casually play. I miss it. Ha. Hahaha. The card scene is *so* busted right now. Truly an absurd situation and only seems to get worse over time. Oh well, at least I can admire the beautiful art from (J)afar.

Why hello gorgeous, I have been waiting for you arrive. #SteamMachine

It's not perfect, but it's enough and it's inexpensive! Time to rewrite the ink system and then add collisions! #Gamedev #GameMaker #WIP

Maybe? Closer? Perspective is hard with just a single sprite and some limited jiggle physics and also not being an artist haha. #Gamedev #WIP

Waking up to no Steam Machine email..... ...one day. One day.

Couldn't sleep so I am testing some fake soft body movements for our main character. Not perfect, but I think this is def the direction I want to go with his movement. #Gamedev #GameMaker
