Righty. I’m passing the hat again. Sorry, everything is still shit here. I’m out of money and nearly out of electricity and gas again, never mind food. Bonus! Got the hell meeting on the 10th to see if the family stays together or not.

Signs are glum looking, the kids are not dealing with it well.

With apologies, kicking this round again. We’re moving into a temp home today but everything is on the meter and with having to extend my stay at the hotel five days whilst waiting for the council, I lost a huge chunk of cash to that.

Soz, I know this is piss taking by now.

Pay Emma Fearon using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/retroremakes and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

we’ve got somewhere to stay after the fucking place flooded again, just a room tho, I’ve just managed to pack the bare minimum and I’m skint beyond words.

I am so sorry, this has all gone to shit. Can anyone help with emergency survival funds?

I've used Pico8 a fair bit to prototype physics systems, collision code, rope mechanics and as you say it's a great little time-saver before integrating it properly back into the big project.

Been trying to finish this game for over a year. It was never supposed to be 'big' - just a little game that got a bit out of control. Do I:

1. release a stable build for free on itch and get on with other projects
2. One final push to try and round it off

Decisions decisions. #gamedev

I think I've pretty much ditched Twitter at this point - haven't opened it for a week and not missed it.
After all, there's no reason why I can not post on BlueSky at the same rate I didn't post on Twitter.
