I think if you run/own/work at a social media app you should be banned from posting on said social media app.

I hate having good memory because it means that all of the dumb & regrettable shit I've ever done and said in my life gets stored in the part of my brain labelled "remember these bangers? I bet you wish you didn't!" and then it plays it on repeat sometimes. Especially when I try to sleep.
It sucks.
It sucks.

I'm still cooking.
I *wanted* to have an update out by the end of this month... and then I scope crept it into a full renovation of status effects, enemy data handling, tile scoring, + also new vfx and sfx, reworking every enemy, adding words that enemies are weak to/resist, immunities, and more...

I'm cooking up a lot more things soon, such as a bunch of as-of-yet unfinished map nodes, more relics, and of course: more books.

New in SPELLBOOK: A bunch of weird and wacky relics! Show off your mastery of spherical objects with "Balls and How to Use Them", create gibberish with the Sentence Mixer, or prioritize playing words inside words with the Ampersandvich or Patrick's Pink Puzzle Box!

I love trying to watch anime through legal avenues and then the subtitles decide to completely vanish for 4 minutes in the middle of the episode for seemingly no reason! Thanks Crunchyroll!
I don't understand how they could screw this up this badly, this consistently, for *so long.* What the fuck.

If I made a Patreon to help fund the development of SPELLBOOK, would y'all support it?

Here's my two cents on that pixel artist drama happening in my peripheral vision: if you're gonna celebrate someone's death, maybe do so with close friends and family only? I don't think you need to announce it on social media because it will only piss people off. 's why I don't talk about politics.

Here's another sneak peek at my game-- a feature I finished up really late last night- Lexical notches! Tiles with this Notch have an extra letter, and thus produce an extra tile when clicked to form a word.

Internship is over-- development of this will continue relatively soon!
This is an old progress video-- I haven't been able to make progress due to my internship & now getting sick over the weekend!
In a couple weeks, my internship will be over and I will be back to working on this more actively than just doing ideation.
I'm getting closer to a playable alpha build!

Wrapped on a really large commission for @raenbou.bsky.social last night! It also included 10 animated emotes, which I will not be posting because it would be annoying to do so.

This project is NOT abandoned, by the way! It's just that I've been busy with a rather large commission as well as working full-time. Progress on it will resume in about a week!
If you would like to help with its development, I'm looking into creating lists of words related to specific topics 1/2

Here's my two cents on the whole "follower count & making a living" thing:
I haven't been doing stuff under the assumption that commissions alone will keep me afloat. It's an unreasonable expectation these days, no matter how good you are.
That's why I got a day job and do art (mostly) as a hobby.
