Every day

Tweet from JoshMLabelle that reads: We've assembled 100 people with
ADHD and 5 people with no soft skills to manage them, and given them a simple goal: make an impossible amount of money. We call it the games industry, and we think it's going to work great

Hey y'all! I'm officially announcing my new Webcomic

Chicken Legs!
a young witch, Mariska Morevna, striking it out on her own trying to prove herself to her imposing family
chickenlegs.co

Launching OCT 31

comic cover with the title "Chicken Legs" at the top of the page imposed over the lower half of a very large chicken standing on a field. A young unimpressed girl stands at the chickens feet. She glares up at the camera. She's white with brown curly hair pulled back from her face in a messy ponytail and small pomp. She is wearing a dark purple dress with a light blue belt and white collared shirt underneath and holding a green potion in a round flask in her clinched fist. She has wooden legs with large round knees and is wearing black boots with socks.

They need to invent an extra week each month where you can just spend it working on Projects. That would be nice.

That should just about prep you for the first few hours of Silksong.

Half joking. Which half? The answer is behind a secret wall and the most miserable platforming experience you've ever had.

Honestly thinking of stopping using 'g*medev' in my posts because it seems to attract bot accounts masquerading as devs or studios. Great way to make yourselves look good, folks.

Not a great month for working on projects. Got a little bit done on the current Vangers-esque project but fell down a rabbit hole trying to generate geometry instead of just drawing tiles. Travelling for two weeks as of Monday, so will see if I get time for project stuff before EOM.

Turns out you can get into Act II without the Last Judge, so I'm not free yet. Still holding out for difficulty mods because that initial ten hours was a trial of the spirit.

Loaf @mistakenot4892.bsky.social · Sep 7

I give up. I've done everything in act 1 except the Savage Beastfly and the Last Judge and I just cannot muster any interest or enthusiasm for another shot at the tedious horseshit that makes up a run of either. Hoping Team Cherry adds difficulty mods, this is a very disappointing point to hit.

#silksong thoughts:
- I have only known the Bell Beast for an evening but if anything happens to him I will kill everything in this kingdom and then myself.
- Did I get bad at video games in the last 7 years or is Silksong much harder than HK?
- Please god no more ants. I've fought enough ants.

I spent 45 minutes with silksong and these are my first impressions: is this real? Events appear to transpire beyond some sort of barrier or screen I cannot influence aside from pressing buttons on my "side" of the dividing medium, but if these bugs are really doing all that it should be on the news

Yeah! Cheers. Even if this one goes largely unnoticed, I feel like it's an achievement I can use to motivate myself in the future.

Scrap Panic, a free match-4 falling block game made over August, is now released on itch.io: mistakenot4892.itch.io/scrap-panic

First time I've 'finished' a game, let alone uploaded one to a public site. Time to start stressing about bugs and problems aaa.

Fair enough, you did make that explicit in the first post.

How do you accord responsibility for this kind of decision? If twenty bucks is what Team Cherry are comfortable with charging, should they be expected to bump the price up because of the potential for dickheads to use it as justification for pig-ignorant behavior/expectations? That feels unfair.

Currently working on a gang of weird birds (teshari OCs belonging to friends, which I am putting into my match-4 game). Lots of individual states to do for their gestures/poses ingame, but at least they're fun to draw.

A row of four pixel art teshari characters.

Really like the 2.5D effect on the chasms with the double quotes, I haven't seen that before. Neat.

Pretty pleased with how this background came out. Bless the Krita dither brush. Would like to do a couple more of these before the end of the month if I can find the time.
