JDAG

Next up: Xargon???

especially good one. especially good arc

Thought it'd be Spearmaxt but it blasted my buds to SpiceSpace and they haven't found their way back yet

Hey, the original dev team of those games was like, twenty full-time devs who'd been handed the Link's Awakening engine. I don't think you need to feel bad that you're "only" going at a speed you can fit into your life

big fan @manbearcar.bsky.social

images to post when you ban someone

yup yup, it's an unlabeled Endless Mode finale instead of a proper winscreen. You know how jams be 😝

good commit names from the jam:

"removed My Dad from the pool"
"strongman works more like My Dad"
"My Dad is back in the pool"

They still generate skeletons but they don't animate in correctly due to a web build thing, hoping to fix that soon

Daves was "have two of the daves skeletonize the third guy", lmao. I gotta check if the tell for that is working correctly on the web build. Web build!!!!

got em all right except the Veteran one, which it turns out is currently impossible due to a bug, lol

bugfixes coming when we have time 👍👍

we don't have achievements, but if we did, they would be named:
[ ] Like a Bat Outta Hell
[ ] Believe in The Dream
[ ] Found Original Dave!
[ ] Planet of the Daves
[ ] Veteran's Final Stand
[ ] Teach An Old Bone New Tricks

This is easily the biggest jam game I've ever been involved with. There's so much stuff jam-packed into this game

I got distracted. It's here

2 week jam game droppin in like ten minutes. it's good

Is it normal to put sidequests and split evolution paths in a game jam game

I think a lot of people conflate "wholesome" with, like, "inoffensive". Or "does not challenge me"

You can have sharp edges and be comfortable too...

kill all fake lovers

"Jumper low jump%" does sound like an interesting category

well that's all I needed to hear

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Like four years lmao

Refactored + simplified + deleted like 400 lines of code in the last week, feels great

Will do!

I got to play Horsey Game about a year ago at Vancouver Game Garden. It made me cry laughing from all the wonderful horses we bred

This is a really good group activity game, just watch it unfold

Wait hell yeah??

Personalized for you

Kid Me was scared the YOU'LL REGRET THIS guy was gonna do something about it. Adult Me needs to silence the internal Kid Me and go "lmao nah"

This has been happening more often recently, which either means I'm getting better at writing character beats, or I'm just more full of myself

Some sad character moments hit harder when you're in the shower, dawg, dunno what to tell ya

Days since I last cried while writing a sad narrative for a game in my head: 0
