I like games.
Be kind to each other
Fledgling game developer, experienced software developer. Probably breaking things, having fun doing so.

Some ideas my wife and I had:
- Purchase a semi-niche-but-not-quite-dying video game IP just to own it. Wouldn't be able to afford to employ people to make a game for it, it would just go from silently dying in one person's hands to my own.

because that is the nature of the game. because when i was thinking about it last night, I went "everyone will just say they'd spend money helping people out, which would be boring. so we'll move to the next step: the exercise must push you to be creatively funny"
Why does it have to be ridiculous? I'd help as many people as I could, but also commission myself a fancy castle with a magnificent cellar and the tallest of mage towers.

Been working on a little side project for a community I'm in. Basically put together a set of cipher/encryption puzzles for folks to solve for fun! The puzzle creation has gone well, but the time investment was far more than I anticipated 😂
Good fun though, great low-tech design practice.

I'd love to go back and clean this up (do some editing, add some images), but I'll share anyway. I essentially recreated a "tab targeting" system for a game project I'm working on. I wrote about how I built it and how it works here if you're curious!

I committed to sharing stuff more, then life hit me with some pretty serious stuff. Rough way to start off, but I'm still here! I made a substack post last week just snapshotting some notable stuff in my life the past year or so.
Next post will be a review of the work I've done in that time :)

I'm not generally the type of person to post on social media, but I am the type that loves to write stuff and share it with the world. This is me making a commitment to myself to at least do that more (or at all lol).
Time to see if the void can handle the nonsense I'm about to throw :3
