They really are 😔 it takes so long to catch em and by then it's too late the email chain already has opinions on your current state of mind (I promise I've seen the sun recently!)

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 14h

Ok, brain. Now I'm disappointed. You gave me shit over the word "Event" for like an hour, but didn't catch that I wrote "every" instead of "ever"? 😑

Anybody else every have those days where you look at a super common and easy to spell word and suddenly not recognize the spelling?

Brain, we've been over this before. Event is spelled Event, we do not need to look it up. It's 5 letters and not even one of those tricky words. Just do your damn job

Admittedly I also started skipping dialog at one point. I just wanted to see if I could get my boi Terriermon. I think I just prefer the more open goal style of the world series

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 1d

It didn't. Also not a fan of pointless dialog options in a story. Like, it's not changing anything so let's just move it along.

Same boat. I love Digimon, but definitely not $70 love. The demo is good, but I feel like I didn't really care about the story. Which means I'm gonna get annoyed about dialog interrupting my flow a lot.

I am looking for recommendations of Streamers and Youtubers who cover Steam Next fest!

I've found a lot on YouTuber, less on Twitch. Do you folks have any recommendations? - I'd like to contact as many as I can to show off my game.

I guess we'll just pivot towards the bullet hell genre and call it a feature 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 6d

Lol every customer is angry and low balls every offer

I forgot to put a cap on the customer spawn rate and ended up with a retail apocalypse 😂

I'm also thinking of limiting your access to decoration storage to only the storage items found inside these areas, but undecided on that one. I'm trying to adopt a more incentive based design to some of these ideas instead of directly restricting or penalizing you for drawing outside the lines.

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 6d

Been a while #screenshotsaturday! Here's a new feature I've been working on for "officially" claiming land for your shop. It isn't a hard restriction, but instead an incentive to keep your shop in a specific area by granting bonuses to your shop's popularity and item values!

Keeping up with Goblin Logs! Here's Log #2, where I break down what Concept Cores are and how they can change the flow of haggling 🎲

If nothing else, writing this helped me think of a few more improvements I can still make to the system. 🛠️

Sometimes you just need to tweak the rules a bit to get the edge in haggling!

GameCube animal crossing for how much these villagers don't give a fuck about my existence. New Leaf for the QoL bow they wrapped the franchise in.

...and whatever the fuck CityFolk was doin'. I see you wiimote, we are not friends don't talk to me 😑

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 15d

Truly the peak of game dev is getting to add new rules/effects specifically because you're bad at your own game. 😌

NCrafters @gobutiko.com · 15d

🎲New Dice Effect: Stop Loss📉
A dice effect that triggers when the current price would result in a loss of +20% to let you close out the deal at a 15% loss instead.

The idea came to me after my opponent rolled a 6 three times in a row and I got pissy about it. 😂

Alternatively, can we normalize real travel times over warping across maps? I know we're all in a super hurry, but I really like when a game has a public transit system that makes you sit there and wait to get to your destination. I get to look out the window and regret my life choices more. 😌

Pocket goblins, why was this not already a thing? 🤯

Tootkin [Comms open] @tootkin.bsky.social · 16d

My teezr shop is finally up, with a first batch of pocket goblins!
Meet Onni, Hulda and Tilde, ready to follow you in your adventures!
Teezr is 100% No AI, and it would support me A Lot if you could share this post =)

An announcement for t-shirt designs made by Tootkin and sold on Teezr. The image shows a t-shirt with a chest pocket from which a small goblin is poking out. A zoom next to it shows 3 different goblins: On is eating a mushroom, another is drinking a cup of tea, and the third is rising their fist excitedly. Several pieces of text reads : "Tootkin's pocket friends", "A goblin in your pocket, exclusive gobbo apparel, many sizes and colors", and "I promise you will be the cutest freak at the club". At the bottom there is a link to the shop: https://tee-zr.com/store/tootkin

I'd love to see their face of confusion when they aren't raptured away, but they'll just move the goal post again. 😔
