Managed to land myself a new job in this whacky market 💪

Though the game dev hobby continues! I have many plans - particularly around this procedural fishing survival concept I've been jamming on (that's a mouthful)

We worked on the branding for this one via @lostandfound.media!

Fun little game, go give it a look!

Man, I'm so good at my own game and I definitely don't have a debug hotkey to complete all the challenges for testing the achievements

I miss this. So much.

Sometimes I think we have become a deeply boring society
The evocative sketches of the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind installation program, giving you a few glimpses of just how wonderfully strange the world you'll soon immerse yourself will be.

I'm still here! Taking a couple weeks break in Australia to see family and friends 🦘

Putting together the Steam page for the Super Pinball Adventure Soundtrack though - there's a sneak preview on @philipdexter.bsky.social 's bandcamp!

I find it *fascinating* when people give some harsh / direct feedback and I reply on Reddit/Discord/Steam forums and agree and thank them then they IMMEDIATELY soften their tone and act a little flustered that they are actually being heard.

We are indeed all human

Putting together this somewhat unique fishing minigame, piece by piece! The bones are here, it just needs the JUICE

For map generation I've opted to use Perlin noise, and write the values out to a texture.

You can see the "debug" view of the proposed map in the bottom left corner which shows different shades of red, indicating different possible tile types you'll encounter.

This is my work-in-progress tentatively dubbed "Archipelago" about exploring a procedural open ocean

Need to make the camera bit more dynamic, but the fishing is coming along

I played it in a bar recently with the developer and it was really fun!

I ditched the "eyeballs" and went straight for this idea of having pixelly sprite eyes that I can animate much easier and make this lil dude just a bit more expressive

Some more progress on fishing. It's really nice when you can really hear and feel what you are doing.

I've made so many silent prototypes and they are eerie!

A work-in-progress: I do not know what this game will be, but it WILL have fishing.

Experimenting with some funky visuals - an "everything is wobbling" shader.

Not sure I like it really - it makes a lot of things unpredictable in their interactions

Seeing the sheer amount of (first time) games in NextFest this October, as well as the continuing discourse on indie game marketing on social media just makes me exhausted.
