You know, it's been such a long time since I opened Bluesky I totally forgot to post this.
I released something! Really! It's a walking simulator horror game and it's FREE on itch. I'd love it if you gave it a shot!

Apologies for the lack of updates on Defier. I've been working my ass off trying to apply for an awesome indie grant!
I've also struggled with having changes that are interesting enough to post about. "Oh the werewolf is 8% faster/the MP40 does 10% more damage" just isn't very cool in a feed imo

Alright, I've finally sat down and put together a dev video for my souls-like boomer shooter. The art is still very WIP, lots of stuff is being tested, but the gameplay really feels like it's coming together.

so straight up I'm shocked people keep following me I haven't posted anything interesting in quite a while lmao.
hopefully though, cool stuff will start flowing soon. I feel like I just stepped through the burnout that's been holding me back for a few months

I've been thinking about Left 4 Dead for a little while now, it's such an incredible game. Valve is stirring for the first time in ages and I can't help but hope for a third installment.

I've been taking a proper break from game dev, I burned all the way out and didn't notice until I took a second to breathe.
I'll have some cool stuff to show off soon, you're just gonna have to wait and see

Today, I remade te Rewind system ^^
Now it's easy to just add the values that we want to track in the initialisation of an object
And now the rewinding is smoother 🦦
(it will also be useful if I want to compact the rewind data ^^)

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school:
I played with bash scripts a lot when I was 12, just basic fork bombs, pinging Google, shutdown scripts, etc.
A teacher contacted the principal about it and they threatened to ban me from the computers and report me to the FBI lmao

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school:
My teachers were all nice...sooo, the incredibly low quality feedback / "guidance" I got from a thesis adviser who let me defend and then failed me without understanding it was their job to be more involved before a defense even happened.

I finally got my extremely janky animation system working??? Literally everything is a first pass but this entire thing is actually working. World State -> Behavior Tree -> Animation Manager -> Animation Metadata (hitboxes, scripted actions, etc.)

Someone here made a snide comment about me having furry stickers on my work laptop
My response to their snide comment evidently didn't meet their expectaions as they've blocked me and put me on a blocklist full of TERFs
This has led to trans friends unknowingly blocking me when they use this list
