Once more the automatic ai translation replacing the audio switched itself on again.

Second germanic consonant shift. Keeps being interesting whenever I look it up again after not really spending loads of thoughts on it for 5 years.

For whatever reason I decided I wanted all of it on paper. Was it a good choice?
It surely gave the project unnecessarily big files and I feel pretty conscious about my handwriting and spelling mistakes.

Surprisingly the concept of it getting easier as you progress makes it quite fiddly at the start.

Yeah, it's more focus on concept than playability. Basically a case of touch the screen left, right, up or down and spot the accordingly moving dot. Once you've collected 5 of the yellows it'll zoom in. So you might get to the zoom randomly.
But bigger screen and arrow keys are more comfortable.

Looking through the files archive I remembered that I quite enjoy making games (in lack of a better word, they don't really deserve the name) based on Tim Key poems.
So I threw together another quick one today.

I'm happy with the title screen. It's the film logo, but if it was a goose. As @vixleyton.bsky.social wished.

Making the actual super simple game took about 40 minutes, including drawing the sprites. The infrastructure around it (title screen, character selection, unnecessary end screen animation) took nearly 2 hours. Priorities!

So today I've
-had brunch with my parents
-put together an IKEA thing
-made something for the prompt 'scratch'
-booked trains to London
-made a video game
-and my right hip was used as a brake by a teenager on a bicycle
Nearly enjoyed all of that.
