It will be, in early 2026!

Currently moving through development at a very fast pace. :)
Most cards in Toil & Trouble can be upgraded! Upgrading cards always improves their effect.

Upgrading THE HAT for example, generates more coins per click, or THE MOON tarot gives more coins per craft. Even the cauldron brews faster when upgraded!

Good morning, #Gamedev land!

Today's advice: Don't dodge the process! Creativity is work and decisions can be uncomfortable; that's part of it!

Don't shy away, make a choice and be confident in it!

Have a great day!

First batch of tarot cards are ready for Toil and Trouble.

Today will be spent implementing all their abilities and then spending some time blocking out visual effects for them, which will be very fun.

Still a fair ways to go but things are moving fast!

I related to this version of Jon more than I want to admit.
Happy Monday, #Gamedev!

Advice: Keep notes of any kind of work you do.

Then come Monday, review all you did the last week! It's a great way to stay organized and really helps kick off the new week with good motivation!

Have a great week! Stay makin'!

Hey #Gaming.

Do you remember games like NBA Jam or 007 when we could enter codes to get Big Head Mode or Paintball Mode?

I miss those. We should do that more.
Good morning, #Gamedev!

This morning I changed the store to an interactable UI, rather than be card based. It was just too tedious.

THE HAT will now act as the place to sell your items.

Every "day" starts with a random upgradable Tarot card. These cards create very powerful effects for the player.

THE EYE: 👁️ Passively generates coins. Continued upgrades increase rate and amount earned.

I would kill for Splatoon on PC but that's never going to happen.
Which character is Halo?
Obviously in this hilarious example it is not ready...

.... but what does it look like in 10 years?

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.
Pretty cool that Mario is gonna be at Macy's #Thanksgiving day parade this year!

Not every poor statement needs addressing, especially from those that choose to hurl insults.

Today's lesson is... if some folks want to drive in the slow lane; let them.
Nintendo Japan has a turnover rate of 1.9% with most employees staying 15 years or longer.

Those are incredible numbers on the global scale for *any* industry, let alone a volatile one like gaming.
BREAKING!

I am about to share with you the true secret of #Gamedev success!

This flowchart is top secret, so it won't be up forever! If the Government asks, you don't know me!
Well, hardware revenue is down but they still saw nearly 10% growth in '24 as part of their gaming ecosystem.

$23 billion in '24 with just over $5 billion of that being gamepass alone.

They aren't hurting, that's for sure.
Monday #Gamedev Advice:

When building your loops and systems, add friction to it right away. Pushback is what makes the loop work, you'll get a more honest feel for it that way.

Keep creating!
