remember: always make distinct start/stop/reset methods for all your logic processing!!! it'll help you out if you ever need to make the game and menu in the same scene with dynamic loading and stuff.

todays #gamedev work had a lot of bug fixing and dealing with tech debt that i didn't notice before. but I handled it, I feel good about it, and I learned some important lessons about code architecture that SHOULD help me avoid situations like this in the future.

I *absolutely* don't need the explanation of depression but thanks :/

ALSO this is not shade at the slay the spire team. that game obviously did not need a bunch of extra minor visual effects and tweaks, because it's a really well designed and fun game
started playing slay the spire and noticed something kinda inspiring: the UI genuinely lacks a decent amount of polish
text clips through boxes, stuff doesn't ease in/out, cards change size instantly, very basic animations...
but it doesn't matter because it's fun and stylish. and thats awesome :)

the ever darkstuff is kicking my ass rn yeah. i haven't even tried the endless mode but I feel like getting relics for builds is kinda a slog? like 99% of these are garbage and bad for me I think. maybe I'm not fully grasping the build crafting yet

why do you want to force yourself to play a game though. that sounds not fun

it's simultaneously making me miss monster hunter and also completely fulfilling my desire for that kind of gameplay
i just beat all the base game bosses and I'm prepping for dlc stuff, I can't believe I'm enjoying nightreign so much

i have been destroyed by facts an logic, an NPC called me wild-er during the quest line
been playing nightreign finally
"wylder" is pronounced "wielder", right?? because of old English?
someone tell the entire YouTube community because I think they're all saying it wrong

will do, my old font wasn't *bad* but it was a little too blocky, to the point where a LOT of the letters look too similar.
I've been putting off a funny switch for a while now but i think this is exactly what i needed to convince me to finally pull the trigger

ah yeah this is why I've spent a lot less time in community spaces in the past few years. mainly so it doesn't mess with my own ways of appreciating art, i don't want to accidentally pick up those tendencies and become less genuine

it's always so nice to see someone taking about how they liked something it how they connected with it on a personal level. but seeing """objective""" reviews feel empty and makes me sad

the best solution is that i just won't have any gradients in my next game. I'm done with gradients forever and therefore will never have to "fix" color banding ever again

a lot of Piecewise's development has seen me diving deep into rabbit holes and learning a bunch, mostly for very small improvements to the game but also very big additions to my skill set
i think it's been super worthwhile overall, but some side quests (like color banding) have not been worth it

spent a few hours today trying to reduce color banding in my games vignette effect!
i did improve it a bit, so I'm happy about that. but I think there's just always going to be some banding, and I don't know how to fix it 100%. but I have to accept my limits as a not-graphics-engineer and move on

it's too late for me because I realized this after I'd already done the survey, lesson learned for next time

It is a real Discord survey. The 'sjc1' subdomain just points to a particular Qualtrics data centre, but you can take that out and the link still works. Discord has used Qualtrics for years, and nobody else would be able to make a survey at the 'discord' subdomain.
