I tried the Kickstarter demo for Inari by 1HP Studios! The speed of this took some getting used to, but it was a super fun game, full of action and ninja-style platforming goodness! I'm looking forward to the full game, but for now, enjoy the video! youtu.be/bL07TelVWNE

Y'know what? #CloverPit was actually kinda fun! I had one super successful run and a slew of crap runs, but that's just the nature of roguelikes! Either way, I'll keep playing more on my own. Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #FinalFantasy Crystal Chronicles! See ya!
Yeah, the #Nioh3 demo didn't want to download after 4 hours, so I can only pivot AGAIN to something different. Now I'm trying out #CloverPit for the first time! Going live in 10 mins! youtube.com/live/fWUYfJ3...

The Halo 3 collab I was doing tonight has been postponed, but we pivot and improvise, so I’m trying out the #Nioh3 demo instead! I liked the first two games, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this one plays! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/4fIspCb...

Holy crap, did I actually SCRIPT SOMETHING this stream and troubleshoot it to the point of WORKING?! It's a #gamedev miracle, I can code after all! Haphazardly, mind you, but a win is a win! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for the #Nioh3 demo! See ya!
Welp, you know what day it is, #gamedev Thursday as normal! Still trying to figure out some things for this nonsense pill simulator game I'm making, but maybe I'll figure something out. MAYBE. Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtu.be/BkUfrS6XPdY

I played #PlateUp for the first time as part of a collab, many thanks to them for having me! I didn't know what to expect going in, but I had a lot of fun playing this, plus I think I'd have gone crazy if I tried this solo, so it worked out! Enjoy the video! youtu.be/XNXASfV3FDc

#NineSols started kinda slow, but I ended up really enjoying it as I continued! I have no idea if I'll continue this game, on stream, though. Maybe I'll just play it on my own time, nothing wrong with that. Thanks for watching, and tune in Thursday for #gamedev! See ya!
I might have waited a bit too long to give #NineSols a try after doing a video on its demo two years ago…but if it means the experience is fresh, I’m down to clown, starting at 8PM EST! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/Ytiy0er...

I survived the desert festival, the flower dance, and the most daunting task of all in #StardewValley: Making Abigail my girlfriend! I'm no romantic, but maybe this adds something to the game, who knows? Either way, thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #NineSols! See ya!
At this point I’m probably halfway through Year 2 Spring in #StardewValley, and there’s more desert festival and the spring dance to look forward to! Looking forward to more chill vibes and maybe manic moments, starting at 8PM EST! See you soon! www.youtube.com/live/JyVAtPm...

I finished #Tomba2! I'm still so happy to have revisited this game, man. Tomba 2 was a big part of my childhood and remains one of my favorite games of all time, and I'm glad I was able to stream it! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #StardewValley! See ya!
I am close to finishing this run of #Tomba2. SO CLOSE. Three more Evil Pigs and the final boss left to go, and I can call the run done. I just hope I can actually get there in one stream tonight, but we'll see! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtu.be/5X42DS8gltE

Thank you for the music-making opportunity! I had a lot of fun making this track and am happy to see it in-game like this!
Not a ton of showable progress this week, just been working on some odds and ends like animating this basic chemical hazard. But @pauseandeffect.bsky.social did get some cool new music done for Toxic Tavern. He did a good job with it!

I made much less progress than I thought I was going to, but I didn't want any units to DIE, so my waiting games in #FireEmblem: Path of Radiance will make this playthrough...probably longer, but that's fine! Thanks for watching, and tune in Sunday for #Tomba2! See ya!
Tonight we return to #FireEmblem: Path of Radiance, starting from chapter 8! I had some HORRENDOUS growths on certain units last stream, so will they grow better this time? I hope so, or the midgame is gonna be HELL. Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! youtu.be/j1kPddcbcZE

Between my Unity file corrupting, trying to redo the project in Godot, and then rebuilding in Unity from scratch, this was one nutty #gamedev stream. I can prototype mechanics next time, though! Thanks for watching, and tune in tomorrow for #FireEmblem: Path of Radiance! See ya!
Another Thursday, another casual work day. In last week's #gamedev stream I had an idea for keeping something small using Unity, so I'm wondering if I can keep to it? Maybe it's time to block out a level, eh? Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/69skVg6...

I played half of #WarioWorld before the start of the new year, and now this time I may end up finishing it! But will I 100% it? Well, I’ll try! Stream starts at 8PM EST, see you soon! www.youtube.com/live/O1rQRdT...
