I made Gun Knight All Day. I've got some small projects on itch and sometimes I make little youtube videos.

Early on they matter a lot for me. Brainstorming, boss design, level design, etc. My handwriting looks like chicken-scratch and I'm kinda sloppy. I've posted this before but here's a pic from when I was designing the final boss for my first game.

I was cleaning up my desktop and some old dev artifacts from Gun Knight All Day. Found some of my chicken scratch design drawings for the brain boss.

Doing a boids demo. I've only implemented separation so far so it almost just looks like shotgun pellets spreading out. These boids only care about initial personal space. Gotta update the separation more than the initial time too.

Hadn't played my game in a little bit. Did a playthrough last night. Took 3 tries to beat it.
I was a little rusty at first but it came back to me. The benefit of time makes it a little easier to see flaws that are harder to notice when you're caught up in the excitement of making something.

When I'm dragging my feet on (gestures broadly) writing a few of those things on a white board right behind me with checkboxes really seems to help. On the list, do the thing.

In my best zomboid run yet, I was so excited to have generators and power at my base and I wanted to heat up some water. So I put a metal saucepan in the microwave, lol. I thought it would work fine, it's only a video game. RIP the rusty rifle base. I tried to contain the fire with a water bottle.

Danial Ryan is the artist. I just like it.

I kinda want to play Snatcher. I saw it briefly as a kid because my neighbor rented it once, but it was not age appropriate. I found out yesterday this was a Hideo Kojima game.

Saw this elsewhere. Apparently it was in the manual. I wish I read the manual more closely as a kid.

A guy was asking online how to do a retro snake enemy, and I was like, hey I can do that! Nice little godot project just for fun.

I wonder if studying old metroidvania maps would deliver any game design insights.

This is in an earlier version of the godot documentation, I still like it.

I think it's brilliant that every Godot project starts with an icon for the engine in the top level. Programmers just use that as a placeholder early on for things and when they demo their early work it's like free advertising for the engine.
