I haven't posted in a while due, well, reasons, but my buddy and I finished our first #Godot project! It's small, and it may not *look* great, but we had a lot of fun putting it together! Feel free to check out Just Another Vampire Survivors-like:

I've been doing a lot with my Vampire Survivors-like game in #Godot. Decided to make a small showcase of everything it can do. What can't it do? Follow the player, mainly, but I'm still working on a lot of stuff for it yet. We're getting there, though!

I'll take "Things you don't typically see in Metro Detroit for $2000" Alex.

Sometimes I still do stuff in #Godot. Tonight is one of those nights. Working on a Vampire Survivors-like still, not sure what I'm doing tonight though. Come hang?

Sometimes we break our ankles and take a week off, but the most important thing is when we fall off the horse we get back up and we eat that horse. #Godot

Honestly I don't even know what I'm doing tonight, but I'm gonna try doing something in #Godot

Maybe we can fix some explosions

I've been doing some fun stuff in #Godot! Last night I converted my Lightning Strike function into a recursive function to create a Chain Lightning effect.

Sometimes we game dev and do silly things. Tonight is one of those nights. Gonna break stuff by attempting recursion

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Hey you like games, right? Buy this and support a cool indie game maker AND have fun throwing trash and cats at enemies. Did I mention it's a steal at $4 USD?

Me at the end of the Lions game. Good lord, this is not what I needed when I gotta wake up at 7am tomorrow, but I'll take it gladly.

For the last few years, our friends have been getting us the Extremely Accurate Birds calendar, and every year it's just filled with perfection. This year is off to a stellar start.

I don't have 2025 resolutions. I do have goals, though.

-Complete and release a game
-At least a 3.5 GPA (I don't know what's a very good GPA but I want better than a B basically)
-Don't die

Got to play 10 hours of Magic: The Gathering with friends today. Hoping tomorrow to get a solid 4 hours of D&D where I get to see how the Dead Cleric storyline plays out.

I'd call this a pretty good weekend if it all plays out well.

Icing on the cake would be a Detroit Lions win.

D&D follow up for last night's session:

The Cleric is dead. The rest of the party is on the wrong side of a Wall of Force from a) the Cleric's body, b) the remaining enemies, and c) the dozens of elven civilians they are trying to save. Everyone is sad, myself included. Well, sort of.
