Hi, I'm Kenn! Hobbyist #solodev from Naarm (Melbourne, AU) making an '80s #comic book-inspired narrative adventure #indiegame called ◀Future Ghost▶
I'm a dad who likes to draw and program and boost my mutuals' #indiegamedev related posts.
ブルースカイではけして珍しくなささそうですけど、日本語も一応出来ます。宜しくです。🙇

New in-game language option UI element, who's this?

Thaaat's better...!
Now the player character's low-gravity walk cycle displays just fine on Android in the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶
Which hopefully means it will also display just fine on consoles like the Switch... 🤔

The Game Expo here in Naarm / Melbourne today released their official photos from the event in March this year.
This was my booth. This was my impassioned-looking way of talking to someone about my game or something.

The spoiler-free explanation is that he's gritting his teeth to do something destructive that he doesn't really feel comfortable doing. 😅

It's Wei Song, the player character from the narrative adventure game I'm making, ◀Future Ghost▶
A rare direct-to-digital drawing. Most start off as pencil on paper.
How would you caption this? What is Song reacting to?

By the way, the sound effect text is there not only for the comic book feel but also for accessibility reasons, for players who can't hear the sounds.

Do you like it when a game lets you do things like this?
Because ◀Future Ghost▶ - the narrative adventure game I'm making - has a few interactions like this one!

Not being facetious about the plugin. It IS great. Just has holes in it that I don't know how to fill. Hence the necessity of workarounds.
One of which my son came up with just today when I was rubber ducking one of the above-mentioned problems with him!

Goal is a 100% blind gamer friendly #indiegame.
Got a great plugin for screen reader compatibility.
Reads things it shouldn't, like image filenames.
Doesn't read things it should, like in-battle menus.
Workarounds take time and lateral thought.

Always need more wooshes, hits and beeps, but the one that stumped me most recently was a desk chair swivel sound.

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15.
Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅
