I was interviewed about Vampire's Best Friend's development!
itsalwaysaugusthere.substack.com/p/sinksadven...

we talk about how limitations can help you finish games, my past projects informing the design of VBF, and staying encouraged when the odds of success are low

SinksAdventure flaps by to talk about making Vampire's Best Friend

A different metroidvania, chosen limitations, and lots of garlic!

Vampire's Best Friend by @sinksadventure.bsky.social, a flying precision platformer metroidvania, is out now! [PC]

Vampire hunters have invaded your girl's castle and thrown garlic everywhere! Be the best bat ever, flying through the rooms to save her from peril.

#indiegame

The bat navigates around spiked crystals in a room filled with flowers, bees, and a clove of garlic. The room is named No Rest For the Winged

A pair of vampire hunters run up a staircase throwing garlic bulbs. The hunters stormed the old mansion, tossing a year's supply of garlic as they were to incapacitate Vampie.

Thanks a lot, yeah that's a good point!

Oh wow this is a great resource, I dont know how I never found any of these when I was searching for word lists, thanks a lot for the all the help!
Im usually a little shy joining discords but maybe I'll try swinging by there, I have plans for more word games in the future so It would probably help!

sink @sinksadventure.bsky.social · 5d

Oh interesting I didn't know about this, do you know if there's an enable list that is ordered by most common words first?
the list i can find on github has 200,000 words in alphabetical order and sadly searching through a list that long will make the word detection system in my game chug
