Why would you do this to yourself Bhaal_Spawn! This is worse than the "the switch is now as old as the NES was when the Switch came out" posts.

Ah yes, the "delivering the biscuits" episode. The riverboat badge.

Im almost certain, that during the 3 years of torture i was subjected to whilst my daughter was hooked on this show, that a few keeperesque lines actually DID make it into the show, and I did laugh heartily each time. I'm sure that "you do not have enough gold" was in there somewhere...

They were definately on it during the entire show run. Dirty Hucksters!

Well I'm back at the #StarfyreGames studio finally. Been building some enemy models today, Voxel based, because i'm a terrible artist. I'm wondering if i'm missing a problem that will be caused when i put these models into #Unity3d and scale them up...
Anyone able to say? #indiedev #gamedev

nice, classy! I'd live there. tax rate less than 7% good police coverage, fire coverage, and on a good day when the smog is down you can look across the city to see the great Braun Llamadome, and just beyond, the brand new arcology going up....

Huzzah! Big project step forward for unamed fighter game today. We have a stable basic GameLoop finally! And we have the base mechanics in for all your 90s top down shoot em up action you need. Feeling much more #IndieDev #GameDev for once! #StarfyreGames #madewithunity

I went back to my first #gamedev project with a friend and managed to get it going again. I had so many problems before but it's all coming back together. I'm excited where it might go! Just basics ATM but going well! #indiedev #VoxelFighter #StarfyreGames

huzzah! enemy instantiation and generators work they even follow the waypoints I've set.

working on two projects at a time though is an experience. I keep reaching for the wrong script files. #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedev

WOOHOO! Finally, after weeks of coding (actually not that much, I have a family who require my attention occasionally, but a lot of time still...)
My Combat System is FINALLY Tenable.
F*%K YES!

I lost my Dad not so long ago, it broke me in two. i can understand what you're going through, I'm so sorry.

I hope you will be ok, it will take time but you will get there and there's people will help you and get you through this.

look after yourself. your mum did a great job with you!

tried sorting out combat today, realised I was dumb as unity destroys game objects between scenes so my characters don't have weapons now.
gave up and switched to turbo pascal and wrote a quick program that printed out 'You Suck!' 100 times at me.
that one worked at least.

as anyone with kids of school age can probably attest, trying to get away and do some work during the school holidays is sort of like trying to escape colditz in 1944. As such I've lost a bit of momentum with development and I'm quite worried I can't get it back again. #solodev #indiedev #devjourney

Galactic onion of a corporation I've heard. Just remember to keep an eye on the pet bunny. I hear they do bad things with bunnies over at UAE. I hear their portal tech is top notch though. better than BM at least. possibly could give Aperture a run for their money tho

Yeah .... combat systems.
I didn't realize how complex this was going to get. need to have a menu to select actions, enemy to attack, have to calculate what the ability does. even a simple attack action is complicated. I'm never going to be able to do this ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜ญ #madewithunity #solodev #indiedev.
