Me vs Apples.

I have about four hours to make as much apple sauce as possible.

That moment when you realize the "bug with the framework" you've been triaging and assessing for the past two hours is actually just your game code using the framework wrong. 😅

Continuing the jams from last night (while staying awake to pickup someone from the airport) I am continuing my journey with the Outer Wilds.

Indie web coding, records, and a soda is a great space for me.

Next up: Signals From The Outer Wilds by @andrewprahlow.bsky.social

This game might actually be the perfect game in my view. A huge part of that perfection is due to the music. Some songs still give me goosebumps or make me teary eyed.

Record 1: @yasunorimitsuda.procyon-studio.com and Millennial Fair.

Love this album. One particular song gets me everytime. All the best feels.

Maxing out my hipster-class tonight it seems.

Let me brain do some creative free flow today. Feels good man.
Next-- Sapporo 0.0% and seeing where this idea goes.

Yes, yes. A very fine vintage, indeed.

I rewatched all the Mission Impossible movies over the past week and just saw the final one in the theatre tonight.

Here is my ranking:

8. MI 2
7. MI 4
6. MI 7
5. MI 8
4. MI 3
3. MI 5
2. MI 6
1. MI 1

That is all.

A bit of a pivot since the last post, but rather than aircraft I'm focused on the airports themselves. I am calling this project "Kiosk" for the time being, and as weird as it seems-- the design overlaps quite a bit with "Charter", but has a much smaller scope.

@pnpgames.bsky.social Did y'all sell out of Switch 2 game preorders or do you think you'll have some in stock on launch day?

Dear Canadians, go vote. It is important.

Early polling is open this weekend. Election day is coming up.

So please, go vote.

After doing some post game exploration in Blue Prince last night. I accepted that this is too much game for me and unless I want to end up like Charlie and start smoking, there is no way I will see it through to the end.

Kudos to those that do though!

We beat Blue Prince today.

Yet, we are not done with Blue Prince.

That how good Blue Prince is.

Yesterday learned more about the legal/business side of #gamedev at a local event.

Just a reminder to the other #indiedev folks that there is more to making games than just making games.

Similar to the GIF from earlier for #screenshotsaturday, but put this together to remind me of some of my inspiration for this project. Putting this together put a smile on my face and made me proud of my work.

Any Aerobiz players out there? 😄🛫

I love the idea of modern indie game box art. Every game should have box art, even if they are distributed without a box.
March 29, 2025 at 2:24 PM
Experimented with a plane rather than a sphere for the earth in the game, and now I can control the camera how I want to-- plus some transitions and a skybox for fun.

Focusing on finding the flow and feel for the game to get it towards a playable state.

Trying this #screenshotsaturday for the first time-- This is a greybox prototype of a flight system I have been noodling with for the past while. It's very early days, but things are starting to align with the vision in my head.

As I relearn social media, found this gem in #screenshotsaturday.

There is something special about those early Sierra EGA games like Police Quest 1. This game gets it.
