My Google ads Aura is nicely Halloweeny... but otherwise a bit basic.

Google "wired controller" and see what color is it thinks you would like. Mine are orange, blacks and purples.

I wasn't going to say anything but a few days ago I opened Godot.

I blocked out a single level for a one scene jam style game.

Haven't made a character controller or anything else but... I opened Godot.

gamedev but no "real" coding.

Maybe make sure those content creators have access to your game for their holiday drop.

Nearly forgot I had a blog! It needed an update due to all the non-updates happening.

What Happened.

"Some explanation, in the time capsule that is this site, should be given for the significant amount of time I've not been working on the game."

Let your brain worry if you've spent a significant enough amount of time basking in it.
... Probably not.

Yesterday kinda sucked, but it's another step away from the old life. Gotta keep focused on building the new one

Had a TINY #gamedev idea to do as a Jam to honor the journey & reintroduce myself to #Godot - but not sure when/if I'll get to it

Type-o cancel me. Should have said can't fool me. Voice to text fail.

Need ideas for a good solo vacay in 2026 for someone who isn't good at meeting people

Are there low-prey gamedev boot camps or something?

I've seen the “geeky cruises” out there but I dunno if that'd be fun solo. But then, what would?

Can I just go help out at an archeology dig?
