Always nice to take a break from Xs Indie dev environment to here because it's so darn silent here.

I've been adding some special enemies to my #pico8 game to provide a little bit more of a challenge. These are probably my two favourites so far; an enemy that summons and invulnerable wall of googly eyes, and another that pressures the player by advancing EVERY turn (instead of every 2nd turn).

First day learning pico8!! Only really gotten the basics of player movement and sprite draw down. Animation is pretty tricky too. I cannot wait to learn how to properly use the music tool.
Any pico8 devs out there pls recommend any good learning materials :))

Looks like the trend of decentralized social media platforms are growing as an unknown start-up known as Gander is taking beta testers.
Apparently its a Canadian version of bluesky.
The future is growing but will it leave a dent in the market?
Who knows??

1 in 12 people with a Y chromosome have color blindness. It's insane to ship a game that alienates that many of its players.
Ah cool cool just got to my first puzzle in blue prince which is completely unsolvable because of my colorblindness. Had to call in my fiance to point out something was a hue of pink that doesn’t register to me.
Love that feeling so much yesiree.

It's important to acknowledge that individuals on the autism spectrum deserve love and support, regardless of negative comments, like those made by RFK. His remarks demonstrate a misunderstanding and disrespect for the autistic community and harm efforts for acceptance and understanding in society.

Decided to go with Godot as my 2D game engine and started reading and doing tutorial practices. I like that the GDScript is based on Python. Having coded in a bunch of different languages, Python's simplicity is unique.
