I'm really excited about my ideas for the final game. Two are based on my favorite hobbies and I've always been interested in exploring as games but now I have the chance to make them my self ;) #SmallGameStudio

Finally decided my final game pitches. It's interesting how sometimes the title can come before the game, I try to keep a running list... #SmallGameStudio

I was playing through some of the Project 3 games today and I was SO impressed with the design quality of Flow State. Kevin did a FANTASTIC job with the sounds, animations, & the actual mechanics #SmallGameStudio

Getting this gif to upload on Giphy took almost as long as building the whole game. The main game mechanic is still in progress but movement and spawning is looking good 😎 #SmallGameStudio

I've been swamped working on other class work so I haven't gotten much time to experiment with my game but this is a little sneak peak...

playing through "Life of a Polygon" right now and it is SO MUCH FUN. It has a gripping story, the mechanics are really cool and unique but also create the need for some really challenging moves. I'm only a square so far but I'll always be fan of the silent protagonist #relatable #SmallGameStudio

Struck by the audacious concept behind "Combat at the Movies" which reimagines classic films as Atari tank battles. It took a little while to figure out the mechanics for each game but I appreciate how they're made to mirror the themes in the films (Rashomon was very fun) #SmallGameStudio

Finally got some time to work on Arcade 3. Started playing "I Very Much Don't Want To Be Here." I thought the starting instructions to "blend in" were odd at first but intriguing. Within 30 seconds it became a very relatable experience of feeling out of place despite "fitting in" #SmallGameStudio

Finally *mostly* finished S1GN4L UNKN0WN! It's still got a few kinks but I'm happy with how the end result looks #smallgamestudio

Finally finished (I hope, think, and pray) the code for my three game states. Nothing crazy (I think its ~200 lines) but I've written the word "Block" so many times I'm experiencing semantic satiation from typing... #SmallGameStudio

Turns out I’ve got labyrinthitis! 🤒Now it feels like I’m working on two games at once :D solving the maze in my head and finishing up Project 2, UNKN0WN S1GN4L. #SmallGameStudio

Unfortunately I've still been feeling pretty sick but as I've been preparing for my #PechaKucha on David Kanaga and i am blown away by two things: the sheer number of albums and musical projects he's worked on AND the AWESOME cover art he consistently delivers with each album #SmallGameStudio

Came across David Kanaga's thread on Outer Wilds—turns out it's a spiritual cousin to Zelda! Fascinating find while researching for my Pecha Kucha. Cool to see how one creative spark leads to another. #SmallGameStudio #OuterWilds

Not much to update from the game... yet BUT preparing for my Pecha Kucha, Daniel Kanaga (and prof LeMieux by recommendation) has introduced the idea of music as "skin" for time signatures and now you know about it too :D #smallgamestudio

Things are coming along now... still missing some textures and water. I'm picturing a pond with a small fishing cabin and a nearby tent/cave indicating some sort of survival expedition
