dnd was super fun tonight! the party negotiated with the main villain and agreed to take some of his minions to kill a wraith for him, with the intent to kill the minions and lure the wraith back so it could clean up the rest of the bad guys. good plan honestly!

i thought getting a ton closer to completing my second game would be less stressful! but now all the little issues with the game (that I'll eventually need to polish) have taken center stage as my main stressors

highguard feels like a good example of why indies should be weird, bc it's so hard to compete in AAA genres
it's a super interesting game!!! but the destruction isn't as good as the finals, the heroes and team play aren't as good as overwatch, and the moba elements aren't as fun as deadlock

highguard is pretty cool. it's got that apex sauce for gunfights but without all the over-my-head movement tech, so it's more focused on the character abilities and positioning and other mechanics
and the almost-moba format is pretty interesting imo!

i do hate it when i see people trying to advertise their shit in multiplayer games. like dude this is 4v4 capture the flag, not an ad space. people are just trying to have a good time, not get advertised to
:/ it just feels disrespectful and I do not respect the hustle

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Godot friends: what are your favorite methods for implementing accessibility settings when programming?
Any tips on scene structures, kits, snippets etc. is greatly appreciated.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

overengineering? yeah probably. but it's fun and I learn a lot and it makes development fly by

Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

steam updated their accessibility categories with a new "play at your own pace" tag for games that dont require timed input
not sure if my game had any impact on that addition, but... maybe!!!
if a platformer with no timed input sounds interesting, please try AN UNPLAYABLE GAME
its free!

an unplayable game?! on Steam
a game about accessibility settings that's just a *bit* too hard for you to play effectively. 10-15 minutes in length with 30+ minutes of developer commentary!

In a world of AI slop shortcuts in gaming, I am reminded that for The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa, the developer's 60 year old father learned pixelart in MSPaint to help make the game
