Very excited for this! It's my first time doing anything like it so I'm nervous, but thrilled for the opportunity 😄
The Saplum Cradle will be getting interviewed by Kyodom0 on Twitch tonight at 6PM GMT! We'll be spending 2 hours giving a QnA and developer commentary for the game's demos, so come along if you have the chance!

I think the type of person who unironically comments to claim on those "comment for good luck and fortune" type posts actually does deserve to have those good things happen to them
theres too much cynicism and irony in the world now. i like seeing someone online act so genuinely

Point: "Penultimate" does not mean "super extra epic ultimate".
Counterpoint: It *should* mean that, so I'll keep using it that way.

Bluesky is NOT Twitter. 🚫
On Twitter, you get high engagement for being controversial or inciting arguments. Easy dopamine hits, but empty ones.
And that's by design. Everyone is trying to pop off and get "paid". It's soulless.
You can't treat Bluesky the same way.
INTERACTION is KEY. (cont...)

Very happy with the colour scheme on the backgrounds, but still need to refine the smaller details.

Been going through the process of scaling down the rest of the art for my game into pixel art. A more painful process than you'd think, but the sprites look fantastic so far!

I accidentally did old-school stress testing on my game, and by that I mean I fell asleep with Unity in play mode all night.
The game still worked afterwards! That's a good sign 😄

Gonna be attending this today, very excited! With any luck, I'll be able to catch up with some familiar faces
If you're a game maker, and in/around Leeds on the evening of Tues 25th February, feel free to come along to a 'meet & mingle' event I host every month.
We usually welcome 40-60 gamedevs that spend the evening chatting and catching up. It's informal, friendly and no ticket required.

The worst part about making a new project in unity is having to remember how raycasts work again. This was something only the me from 4 months ago should've had to deal with.
