Hey there! Happy to have you scrolling through my posts. I'm a game designer working independent on the East Coast to try and develop my skills and make some projects worth playing! This account will probably just be a devlog for my progress on projects.
A non Noir Wingman post!

So my apartment has a public board downstairs and it's mostly for posting events, stuff you're giving away, etc. But someone's been posting newspaper games that the whole apartment has been working to solve. This inspired me and this week I handmade a public chessboard!

10/1

It's spooky month! As before this will be a recap of lasts months work alongside the plan for this coming month. Last month was spent mainly rewriting some of the core codebase to both include immediate features and reinforce it for further expansion. I've included a video on our state below!

Devlog 3.2

Alright, I've pivoted back into programming for the first prototype. I worked on some of the general systems code and the dossier this week! Video below. As I've gotten closer though I realize I really *Really* need to start getting some kind of mock up script for this first prototype.

Devlog 3.0

Month three!! I'm realizing now that breaking up my devlog by numbers like that may make it look like that's the build version which, I wish I could be in 3.0 in 3 months. The GMTK Jam is finished, and as per every month this will be a bigger recap post which you can read bellow.

Devlog 2.3

Gosh the last devlog was rushed. I'm mostly making these to hold myself accountable but I'd also like to have at least a little quality. I put down the wrong number in the title but more than that realized that bluesky doesn't support custom gifs outside previews? So here's what I wanted

Devlog 1.2

So now that I've properly started coding and implementing the data structures I've designed I actually have something to show! Yea, it isn't much. It's really just a mock up of the first handoff of data that allows you to select a conversation and be shown the prompts you can use.

In terms of code, while I wanted to get more progress on a prototype, I'm happier instead developing a system early that is much more robust and easier to process. Getting down the documentation in personal notes and this flowchart have been great for quickly moving it to scripts.
