been watching the Rod Serling Western series THE LONER starring Lloyd Bridges as a former Union soldier— these twenty-five minute stories can be rather gestural, but the ep “The Kingdom of McComb” co-starring Leslie Nielsen as a local land magnate was pretty good, Nielsen brought some nuance to it

discovering games made with the Bitsy engine, shared on Itch, reminiscent of interactive tone-poems and personal-journey comics, wrapped in limited and pleasing color palettes— some explore well-known myths— others eerie folk ballads

I have never in my life seen sponsors place their products directly into the credits before! and frankly I think we should bring it back— full transparency!

simplified my thoughts regarding MUTATIS menu, shown here as a series of columns to convey progression, gray is player1 sprite, colors are player0 sprite, move up column, choose game type (of 4), game difficulty (collect 2 or 4 biota), boost health (left) or shield (right), then four levels #GameDev

folks give away stuff in our laundry room, usually when they move out, the weirdest thing over the years has been a high-end Kylo Ren mask— today there was a bunch of directing books, which made me a little sad— anyway, I scored some Strindberg #TheatreSky

designing 8-bit UI for my #Atari game MUTATIS …truly relaxing, think I figured out how to combine Game, Difficulty, and Level Select, one sprite for shape (player1, gray) one for selection (player0, colors)— players move contextual selector up from bottom “M” #GameDev bywilliamjmeyer.itch.io/mutatis
