For what it's worth, this IS the perfect shape ...

I knew I liked you. This is my same major skill! It's helped me a ton in my day job and has made me unafraid of anything in game dev.

Only issue is that I try to learn too much and practice those learnings too little!

That's. Wild.

I really meant to get a lot done over the holiday break - but I had a routine surgery on the 18th and then tried to die (sepsis!)

I'm back, and I'm gonna kick butt on getting a demo of Bounceula out in the next few months - but start small with a logo and some capsule art.

It's great to be here.

perhaps we're encountering a new wave of casting directors who are more intune with real people.

Side Note: If it's not an average looking straight dad between 45-65 with body hair poking out of their collar, I'm not even watching.

Subsequently I don't watch a lot of movies.

My #gamedev accomplishments for 2025:
- Released “Replicube”
- Finished development of the European Tour content for PGRC
- Was a beta launch partner for Wavedash
- Prototyped 3 new games
- Began production on “4x4 in a Furniture Store”
- Finally released “JellyCar Worlds” on PlayStation and Xbox

What sort of godookie creation advancements were made since last year?

A body mesh, a head mesh, two eyes, and hair?! It's capsule or bust around these parts. A cone if you're lucky.

All sorts of doodads on this whozeewhatsit.

Current WIP - rigged wings for bat mode yesterday, animated and put them in engine today (and drew a tiny lil' bat form smoke poof as a treat) This movement is feeling great! I stream randomly at www.twitch.tv/2ndfavorite if that's your thing!

Getting close to finding Count Bounceula's personality. I will let you choose the haircut, maybe.

I'm awful at the souls-like games and I wish I liked them but there is a major skill issue that is insufferable. Same with fighting games, I can't think clearly and my feral button-masher comes forth. 🥲

I've never been a huge tabletop games person, I will play but never seek them out - so imagine my surprise when I go to one PAX and start making my own design for a game called "Dogs with jobs" and it's all I can think about it.

What's that? That's the ADHD? Oh.

This is what I imagine happening every time I use a chairlift. Nbd.

Since Mirage there have been pretty big updates. A new home base called the hideout, 10 new characters, entire map and shop has been overhauled. Some light game mechanic changes (but those are less noticeable)

It's at 47k right now, 58k 24hr peak - so it's doing pretty well right now, totally expect that to die down again before they enter an open beta

They have done such a slick job. The map's huge changes have been a blast to watch as an indie dev that loves game art. The way they released the hideout and the new characters was well done, and the item shop overhaul and theming is great

PAX West impressions:
- I am having fun
- I'm usually slightly intimidated by people in military gear in the real world (crazy? Dangerous?) but absolutely not here.
- Stereotypical gamer smell is real
- I love game art
- I love asking the indie devs about their work
-I am actually in love with Mario

Hello, here are my credentials: I also have a mustache. Thank you for your time.

‪This California Games 2 game over screen goes extremely hard.

@robotsmakegames.bsky.social here, have a void cat + platformer + card based roguelike as a treat. And they stream too!

Got the results hooked up to the CRT material. Slot: done. Inventory: done. Ready to realize these ghosties.

This was absolutely the inspiration

I'm pausing on the typing game to build out a smaller scoped project - a fun twist on tower defense where you run a temp agency for ghosts ... I'll fill you in more soon.

Got a "slot machine", inventory and name generator rocking over the past few days!
