I've been posting updates for my cozy graveyard game on Twitter, and I've been nervous about switching platforms.
...But now, I'm trying out Buffer to help post across several platforms.
So, expect Guernsey updates on BlueSky starting in just a little while! 👻 #gamedev #indieGameDev

Today's Guernsey: Sorted out the UI text issue I was working on the last two days.
Overall, the end result is a much better system!
And everything seems to be working again... 🤞🏻 #gamedev #indieGameDev

Today's Guernsey: Had a wild day today so it's a small one. I started breaking the interaction UI a bit so I could use some better text and make for more readable triggers.
But, still broken. Will fix like tomrow mayb not su 😴 #gamedev #indieGameDev

Tonight's Guernsey: Fixed a bunch of low hanging fruit from the playtest
🎨Darkened subtitle background
😶🌫️Removed collision from some rocks
🚂Adjusted some train tunnel collision
And tried a bigger task but too big for the amount of energy I've got. 😅#gamedev #indieGameDev

Today's Guernsey: At @playcrafting.bsky.social's Indie Dev Night, people played the game under the encouraging paws of a hundred radiant lucky cats. I took four pages of terse and illegible notes, which will become tasks... tomorrow.
That was FUN. #gamedev #indieGameDev

Today's Guernsey: Integrated the cat and the turkeys into the daily animals rotation, all placed and ready to go.
Animals in the game serve mostly as little rewards/points of interest, but I might give the cat something to do...

I imagine the turkeys glaring balefully as they fly away backwards
Today's Guernsey: Turkeys now fly away as a flock when you get near!
I fixed it so they all fly away the right way, but I thought this gif was funny.

Today's Guernsey: More fixing stuff, more optimization.
Unrelated to any of that, this 10-year-old asset store water one day started looking super jittery in editor -- but it still looks great in builds! 🤷🏻♂️

My daughter, an ACNH fan, wants me to let her play Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
But if I let her play, I'd have to delete my town, Benton.
Now, I haven't played in about ten years.
But... I'm not sure I can delete Benton. 🥹

Today's Guernsey: Went on a rabid optimization jag and stripped a bunch of GameObject.Finds out of random places, including several every-frame methods.
Other tweaks and improvements, too.
Everything seems to work, and the framerate gets smoother! 🧈 #gamedev #indieGameDev
