Pixel art drawing of a spooky lair that's shaped like a monster head or skull with a precarious stone staircase leading into its mouth between stalactites and stalagmites that look like large pointy teeth. It has a low resolution and limited color palette of black, purple, peach, gray, and white. It resembles an evil lair from 80s and 90s cartoons and toys.

Think I might share more process stuff from my game. Here's a vibe test drawing I made yesterday. It's a top-down game, but this could be in a story intro to set up the adventure, concept art for an area, or promo artwork.

I Want Your Teeth by David Williamson Available for Windows

I made a game for Ludum Dare. It's called 'I Want Your Teeth'.
You can check it out if you want.

Drowning in the Rain by David Williamson A vignette by David Williamson

Around this time every year I get a big jump in people downloading one of my jam games. As far as I can tell the traffic is coming from an Estonian University. I have no idea why, but I hope they are getting something good from it.

In Speed Ball 2: Brutal Deluxe when a player gets injured you hear the ice cream seller shout "Ice cream, ice cream!" over the crowd. Always made me laugh and everyone who remembers the game remembers that

It needs a big weight thud when it closes

Spotted today in my local supermarket. It's way too early for this, surely?!

In my mind Megan Fox is so named because she is married to a cartoon fox called Phileas Fox. Like Jessica Rabbit and Roger, and no one can convince me otherwise

I could see using an LLM for 'rubber ducking', but if you think an LLM can just optimise your code then you're deluding yourself.

For every game I make I stand on the shoulders of giants whether I worked alone or not. I mean I'm not inputting binary code at the end of the day

I am the complete opposite of this. Even if the perfect code is the easier to write I'll somehow endeavour to make it as hacky as possible

Everything my wife is doing is text based so not a problem for her. But yea, they are really old school monitors. I had to raid my cable box for a VGA adapter for them

My wife has two for work. I keep telling her to just use a wide-screen and tile the windows, but she insists this way is better

Nah, he's more likely to rename an existing son, [name] Now With Copilot. And also give him the new middle name of Supercharge Your Parenting

For a laugh I asked an AI bot-thing for game ideas based on the Ludum Dare theme. The 'ideas' it came up with were worse than terrible. And I know a thing or two about terrible game ideas
