heh, I don't think you understand the low quality abilities of my artwork! Then again I never really gave it a lot of effort compared to programming.

I really wanna try a game jam, but dang I’m nervous. I don’t really have any art skills (never developed them) so all I can really do is program.

I've implemented the most bare bones dialog system for my game and it only took 6 hours. I really wish UI work was easier in Bevy.

I should probably just take a few days and learn Godot already.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 15h

I love working with Bevy but I am questioning my own sanity after seeing how easy it is for people to make games with Godot. Rust is nice thought.

Game development makes you crazy.

As someone who is Italian by ancestry, I find that to be delicious. I used to get flack for putting too much garlic in my food. I could basically eat garlic bread every day.

Anyone have advice on staying motivated during long projects? I'm not tired of working on the game by any means but it is starting to feel like a slog. Maybe I should make another dev log video to show off what has been changed?

Maybe I’ll post the song on my studio’s instagram account after I gets worked on a bit more.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 4d

I’m not kidding.

His name is Oliver.

Oh and the “but I still love you” part is referring to a raccoon.

Also working on the script, which may or may not borrow from some of my lived experience.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 4d

I’m starting to write music for my game and one of the songs is legit titled “The world is crumbling around me but I still love you”, just in case you were wondering if the silly raccoon game was going to contain any cognitive dissonance.

I'm considering streaming some of my game development sessions but I have no clue if anyone would find them interesting.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 7d

I hope everything works out. Those assholes really need to find better things to do with their time.

Building a really basic example level so I can start playtesting Bandit Boys!

Do I know anyone who plays the ukulele who would be comfortable recording music for a video game? Just instrumental no vocals. Paid.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 11d

I want off this ride.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 15d

Zerg rush!

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 16d

It's starting to somewhat resemble fun gameplay.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 18d

The thing I learned way too late in life is that you can often simply refuse to deal with someone's bullshit.

Jon Daniel @jondaniel.bsky.social · 18d

Fuck, am I now “with it”?
