Just keep stinging, just keep stinging...
A still from Finding Nemo of Dory poking a jellyfish. Marlin looks understandably horrified

Reworking your UI to target a different base resolution is boring! On the plus side I'm able to make some changes like this

#IndieDev #UI #HighwayNoir
Two versions of a loading bar. The first is a white box being filled with a dark gray bar and the text '80%' in white. The second is a top town view of a police chase scene on a three lane road revealing itself from left to right. the '80%' text remains

You certainly can knock against your pursuers until their health bar runs out. But it's much more effect to take them down with the PIT manoeuvre

You can wishlist #HighwayNoir now ;)

It happened! I got my plush from @godotengine.org! Day made, I hope I'm now a real game dev :)
A Godot plush 2.0! The plush is sat on a red, faux leather chair that is of course far too big. The size disparity is only made more obvious by a dark green cushion with a geometric, art deco adjacent gold pattern

I love our cat dearly but she's not always the brightest. She has now made herself more comfortable but I'm at a loss as to why she didn't just push the soft toy out of the bed

#CatsOfBluesky
A black cat curled up on the edge of a small cat bed and pressed up against a door. There is a plush pug toy taking up part of the bed that is supposed to be for her

I didn't realise she was named after a plant, then I too thought it was fictional (à la mockingjay) but no, totally real!

I saw the films years ago. Now I'm reading the first book and it's genuinely really good
A katniss plant. It has bright green, arrowhead shaped leaves with medium sized flowers. The flowers are in clusters with three round, white petals and a yellow centre

I stumbled on a copy of one of the daftest films I've ever seen in a charity shop today and had to pick it up
A DVD of Jason X. It shows some unfortunate woman screaming reflected in a knife. Either side is 'classic' Jason Voorhees in a burned hockey mask and 'upgraded' Jason in a futuristic metal mask

More playing with Mega Voxels and this time it's a rendition of #CurtainsTheClown by @grimclownjay.bsky.social. I might try this again when I have more experience because Curtains is from a great game by a great dev and if I can do better I will!

It snowed last night. Barely there. Snow from Temu. Welcome to Britain
A patio surface covered in the finest layer of snow imaginable. It's more like frost with tiny chunks in it

There's an Android app called Mega Voxels - it's good fun! It's like a basic, phone based MagicaVoxel

I wanted to have a go at translating a sprite into 3D with #MagicaVoxel. The colouring is very basic and I think I made a couple of errors but I like the result!

Now who remembers the game this gun is from? :p
Clue: it came out in 1993

PSA: If your #SteamDeck updates and a game that worked fine suddenly stops (e.g. controller input in Dead Rising 2), try downgrading Proton for that game

I took some acrylic paint pours I did ages ago and wasn't happy with and turned them into space scenes

#Art #Acrylic #Paint #PaintPouring #Space #Planets
A swirl of mostly yellow and blue with a little orange from an acrylic paint pour. It forms a blob in the middle of an A5 canvas and manages not to be very interesting Five A5 canvases showing space scenes. Marbled colours from paint pours have been strategically painted over in black to leave circles as planets. The scenes variously add stars, nebulae, planetary rings and clouds to complete the scenes

Last market of the year and she smashed it *again*!

A table roughly 6 feet long covered in handmade plates, bowls, mugs and other ceramic items. There is a terracotta coloured tablecloth, various wooden items as display elements and red berries and fir tree branches with dried orange slice decorations

I'm hard at work on #HighwayNoir and was thinking about my #NextFest demo. Are there any #Streamer peeps who'd like to try out some neo-noir style racing, police chases and road combat a week or so early? I'll even unlock a couple of extra modes! Comment if you'd like to be considered for a free key

Apologies, I couldn't find a suitable picture on any of my Alien DVDs to do it properly. I hope you will accept this crudely Photoshopped screen grab because that was a truly superb idea
A screen shot from Alien, 1979, in which the xenomorph is emerging from a cloud of steam with inner mouth extended. I have crudely drawn on wonky eyes for both the head and the inner mouth

I thought it would be funny to put googly eyes on a xenomorph but somehow it's even more cursed
A Bluray case of Alien: Earth. It has a close up of the front of a xenomorph's head, on which I've stuck a couple of mismatched googly eyes

Pasta alla Nerano is absolutely delicious!
A bowl of pasta alla Nerano. It's spaghetti in a provolone sauce with courgette/zucchini and basil leaves. In a white bowl with "otterly delicious pasta' on it if you're interested. There's a picture of an otter wearing a farfalle bow tie too, but it's hidden under the food

I wanted an occasional concept of swapping roads in #HighwayNoir. It makes the city feel more like a real city, mixes up lane counts and sometimes introduces a small extra gameplay element

A porcelain slip cast of an object looks like a mesh with the default diffuse material applied

A craft mat with a mini orange pumpkin sat on it, next to an unfired porcelain model made from a mold of the original pumpkin. They are practically identical in shape but the model is a single, flat off-white

Phylox: so obscure I'm not totally convinced it was ever a full game. I've never found evidence of anyone, anywhere beating level 2
Title screen for Phylox. The screen is black with the title in green text at the top, a credit to PSP & BeavisSoft at the bottom and a central image of what looks like some kind of egg in a desert setting
