I've just been kinda bummed and anxious recently and also not feeling too well physically - I don't really know why, maybe I need to take a break but I hardly got anything done 😭

zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 2d

Man these meds might not work as well as they used to - my stomach just gets weird halfway through the dosage period and I just stop being able to focus - maybe it's just stress or anxiety or not being healthy idek

Spent 2 days trying to make this scrambled text effect manually and I just ended up finding a script made by the goat YellowAfterlife online so yeah whatever

Gonna try to descramble it character by character or maybe make it load in character by character so... yeah that'll take me a week maybe

Man I don't get music making, this music im making doesn't make me feel like how the music i like make me feeling

Feel like I've completely lost steam today

Idk, would it be wrong to research how existing GameMaker games structure their code or should I just keep more general design pattern concepts/principles in mind and just design out of my ass

zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 23d

I don't know if I'm going about this the wrong way but I was trying to figure out a good code design architecture for my game so I ended up researching how to mod Star of Providence since it's in GameMaker too but it's actually alot more involved than I thought.

Now I found another tool/resource called WordNet for building my rune system and I gotta say this is an amazing tool for like word/english/linguistic freaks(?) Idk the word for it but this is a huge boon for this unnecessarily complex system for my game - is this even gamedev work at this point

I've been sleeping at 9pm and waking up at 4am so I can work on my game at full capacity while on meds and I gotta say, this routine really works for me. Mostly been doing almost no code - just Miro, Pinterest, Spreadsheets, Asset Ripping, Playing Game Genre Studies.

Not really sure what to do next here, like what's the most fun thing I can do with this game

Also, that specific doujin in red called incompleteness is actually super awesome since it's a collection of gengas from Yutaka Nakamura and I just found out recently that there's like multiple other doujins by him (like the Cross Weapons from Kenshi). I ended up buying 5 other versions online.

Well, I'm back from Tokyo - that was a pretty fun impromptu trip which was pretty fulfilling, I still got alot of study to do before I can really fully appreciate the true subculture hidden beneath the surface of Japan. Anyway, here's a picture of all the stuff I bought (minus the extra 42 doujins).

I'll link a picture in case, because there's always the chance my backwards ass country decides to pull me over for a customs check and confiscate all my shit

Day 2 in Akihabara - went to Book-off and got alot of my favourite manga in japanese on the cheap. Pretty stoked about that. Then I went ahead and bought 27 NSFW doujins at Melonbooks and K-Books - I just had to, they had the GOATs I be rereading multiple times 😭.

Day 1 of Shibuya is over - cuz legs were dying - and so I covered about these many spots

zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · Sep 1

I am currently bsky-ing from Tokyo rn and ngl, my flashcards did not prepare for the amount of hiragana and kanji I need to process all at once just walking and the speed I need to process it just walking around and it didn't prepare me for nuanced interaction with service people - dayum

Haruhi is still alive!!! Also I'm like 50% deaf rn but so worth it

Man the Aya Hirano concert today was the best. She sang God Knows, Lost my music - so peak 😭

Also they upped my dosage to 15mg a day, woohoo. Too bad I use most of it for job instead of personal gamedev - I think alot about what Kurvitz said about being a parasite and it's probably the most incorrect thing to do but he made DE and I haven't made shit. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong...

zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · Aug 19

Ok, had an existential moment so I'm back on the saddle for gamedev (or maybe my obsession with Elona finally began to wane)

Oh and I've got my trip to Tokyo with my little brother to look forward to as well. I've been making a map with all the pilgrimage spots and cool doujin spots I could think of. So far, it's only FLCL, TWEWY and Mandarake & one-offs like Fangamer and Earthbound store
