Working on adding a dynamic camera to the game! The camera getting closer really shows how rushed some of the animations are, so I guess I gotta update those next... #gamedev

I would HIGHLY recommend any devs make a powerpoint about their projects. It's just fun ngl, and helps me with visuals at very least. Not my GDD, but my little baby nonetheless 🤧 #gamedev

These are just some of the responses I got on the game, and I'm not even kidding when I say I teared up a little reading them for the first time. I had done it. I had proved myself. I had changed.

Not to say critique is bad, but the actual discussions were less critique and moreso bashing and not having the fundamental understanding of game design. So, I asked my partner if they had faith in me as an artist, and they said no. They followed up with this to further explain.

Ngl since I've already made the game for Monkey Jam, I don't know exactly what to post about it, BUT I do have a story that can go along with it!
Here's my personal journey as an artist, told via game jams! #gamedev #monkeyjam2025

Working on some new particle effects, sweat comes off if you have stamina, but if you're out of stamina, there's blood instead!
What do you think of the effects? Too hard to notice right now? #gamedev

Despite everything, I've still been working on BWAG, and I'm focusing on the visuals right now, with this plush defect that makes him follow your cursor. There'll be other subtle differences with the defects, so you'll have to play around and pay attention #gamedev

BWAG Update: These are the hiding spots for the evil little Beans that Bean defects can be found in. Of course different defects will have different poses/animations/skins, but the locations themselves probably won't change. #gamedev

Welp, Unity is making the choice to start implementing more generative AI features into it's engine, and all I can say is this will be yet another W for Godot. I fail to understand how companies can see the massive outcry against AI generated content and features- 1/2 #gamedev #unity

BWAG Update: Added in the plush, as well as the accept or reject button. Of course, there are no variants of the plush to reject, nor any other reaction after accepting or rejecting them, but I really like how it all looks right now! Hopefully I can make the whole game eerie though #gamedev

BWAG Update: This is Bean, the main character sort of. He's a plush that you'll have to check for damages, or any other weird changes. After all, you work at a factory that makes them, so you'll see his face a lot. What do you think of the design? Does it read plush? #gamedev
