Mar 6th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update Got the interact button working. Code feels a little tattered but I left some notes on how I might modularize it when I get around to resource gathering. Still 20 minutes left in the hour, will try to think through this "event sequencing"

Lightbox was fantastic, got a good lil art stream in today

#inktober day 7

#inktober day 5 Missed yesterday due to comp, will just do a cactus study later or something

Welp #inktober day 3, miniature

Alright I hate my #inktober day 2 but that's okay. Should have done so many things different but w/e, broken butterfly enamel pin that belonged to someone at some point

Aight #inktober day 1: apple Lotta irony with this one, hah

Aight, #teasofthekingdom #gamedesign update Whipped out the water color pencils I got as a gift a while back to concept out some sketches for the cover. I like what I settled on. Something I love about a colossal giant composition, but the peaceful "looking over the world" fits better

#teasofthekingdom #gamedev update Got the "new" map and forg into the setting. The world is WAY too big lmao, gonna mad scale it down at some point soon, but that can be polish. It's easy to move everything around. Learning to love what I decide to do.

Here's the overworld map Picasso also a picture of Tez because he's cute

Part 1 of the #teasofthekingdom #devlog went out this morning youtu.be/xU0wBG0JYO4

Quick #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update 95% done with the #devlog and decided I'm not willing ot give up on the prototype completely. Went through and removed the seal / story stuff that wasn't important. Will probably go back and forth between this and thimble over the next few weeks. Devlog tues

Alright, getting back on the #nozerodays grind for #thimble #gamedev Just brushed up some stuff after my airplane fugue state refactor. Just took 5 mins to remind myself where I was, will pick up tomorrow with getting the client packet order sorted and listening for packets coming in.

#thimble #gamedev update Yea, multiplayer is fun. Building a golang multiplayer server for this one and it's been pretty interesting to figure out Both beans can see each other move! no interpolation or anything yet, but this was a huge milestone for me personally. Working in a new way

Aug 6th #thimble update Alright getting back on the horse. Some concepts. Prob gonna do a lil more before making dinner. 28 days until playtest.

July 16th #thimble #gamedev update #nozerodays Just organizing some things around, reviving a multiplayer server project for this one. Just... need a break from Teas. I know I could just grind it out but that feels icky. Multiplayer game inbound, intending to get some fun stuff by end of weekend

I work at Google DeepMind. This won't make me popular. But it's all public reporting: 2014: DeepMind reportedly sold to Google on conditions: no military use, independent oversight 2026: a Pentagon contract for "any lawful government purpose" Not one safeguard survived intact

July 12th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update #NoZeroDays #godot Clicking through the text transitions to the overworld... its becoming spaghetti, but at least it's also set up to transition into brewing Gotta remember I need to draw two more characters and set up the actual dialogue stuff

July 11th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update #nozerodays #godot Clicking the text shows up... a far cry from my original storyboard plan, and this code I wrote is ass, but working through it. I want to return to a project I can experiment with. Not sure what's up, but hey- not a zero day.

I haven't written the essay yet since I'm just working it out myself so it's scattered across my timeline in bits, but this is the heart of it bsky.app/profile/unor...

July 9th #teasofthekingdom update #nozerodays I'm so tired. I did like 3 lines jsut to set up the text flow. I go sleep now. Hopefully I'm not kept awake by my mind until 1 again

July 7th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update #nozerodays Customer sequence triggered when kettle is boiled. Making the text just instructions for now lol. Skipping morning jiu jitsu tmrw, resting up. Would like to spend the time working on the transitions between scenes.

little thread on something we're working on

July 6th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update #nozerodays Literally just touching this for 5 mins since I gotta wake up at 5:15 tmrw. Decided to make the text transition/expose super straightforward and stages. Would be nice if I can get myself to focus on this during the day

July 5th #teasofthekingdom #gamedev update #nozerodays Just quickly started a flow with a new scene that will start the game and show as a transition between phases, then at the end. No more trello, just my paper list. No zero days.

Check out my cool new mousepad

if people ask me what i want for my birthday this year, i'm going to tell them to venmo me $5 and i will put it toward a collective fund to buy a hoodie from the aquarium i've been thinking about (but it's $70 and i have a hard time justifying it) then it's like they all collectively got me a gift

June 16th #teasofthekingdom update No update I let jiu jitsu take over my morning and did not adequately prepare for making time for this hour. That sucks. I'll get back up again though

Calvin and Hobbes strip that says it quite well;

Man, I just wanna have fun with this stuff. I can't seem to draw for fun- classes push me. I can't seem to do jiu jitsu for fun- competitions push me. I can't seem to do game dev for fun- my own discipline pushes me. What am I doing wrong?
