Slack, I know sometimes we can disagree on whether changes to UX are "good" or "bad" or "terrifying"

but can we at least all agree not to make one-item submenus

that expand in the opposite direction

At this point mainly the "dialog background", seen here in three places :) That's an Alexis special ;) been in since day one

Behind The Waterfall

Every waterfall hides something... whether it's treasure, or trouble. (stealth/exploration-focused Zelda-like, I'm thinking...)

Bonus track for the evening :) about 3 hrs in and this is already one of my favorites, so I'll probably keep working on it

"UnderFlow" - What the #megazeux Caverns theme might sound like if I wrote it today :)

This is probably about halfway done (both length-wise and polish-wise) but it's a good place to tie it off and move on until I need to dig it out for a real project :)

I like to tell stories with my filenames (and keep useful milestones) play with your toys people

This is how I relax in the evening. I make pretty brain candy sounds. This is 2.5hrs of playing with my toys, from when the initial "seed" measure popped out of my head.

I'm posting it here in full unedited glory, warts and all. Great raw unfiltered emotional strokes, no second tries. #music

And one final small personal W for 2025: getting more comfortable with physical drawing.

I don’t plan to ever “draw” as a core skill but I am extremely hands-on and drawing ideas is often the best way for me to process them and iterate on them. And it’s fun and relaxing now!

Of course, the biggest story of my 2025 is "Once Upon a Galaxy". I continue to pour my heart, soul, sweat, and tears into the first game I can truly call "my own" since MegaZeux era.

It's been amazing watching our little game/community grow and all the positive feedback brings me endless joy.

AI has many uses. For example, helping me confirm the uniqueness of a phrase I made up because it’s so obviously making shit up in the bullshitty way a 10yr old would

I sent myself an audio clip of a vocalised melody/rhythm and the computer helpfully transcribed it for me

working on another song and wow this one is taking a journey

i thought i was writing a cute townsy festival song and it turned into a musical number about backstabbing

I organize my WIP compositions into completely normal musical genres

Oopsie i broke it thats too many frogs

This song just looks like a village or like a castle nestled up in the forests and mountains but maybe I'm just weird

it kinda sounds like it too tbh

See in some ways I actually appreciate reviews like these. If you're going to give us 1 star, make sure it's obvious to anyone who reads it what your real "concern" is

If that last sentence changes your mind about the game then I don't want you in our game's community

Hmm what’s in tonight’s random snack grab bag

In Galaxy, cards very rarely have their "base stats" anyways, especially Secret Rare cards like Paul which are usually transformed into (transforms retain all buffs)

A 0/0 Paul made sense to our team of Magic alumni, but we will likely adjust as part of fixing this bug :)

Cool screenshot unrelated

Magic cards that set their stats when entering (like Clone) are usually printed as 0/0s, telling the reader "something weird is up, read the textbox". (Historically this was sometimes printed as */*, but now that usually indicates a characteristic-defining ability that applies everywhere)
