Finally finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy 3! The job system was pretty cool, would love to replay sometime with a different team makeup. Probably my favourite of the first 3.
But now it’s time to start FF4! Been looking forward to this! First of the SNES ones!

Make sure to talk to the people important to you while you still can, you never know when they'll be gone. Advice you hear often but don't think much about till it's too late
Welp, after a little hiatus, I'll be back to posting some game dev related stuff
Till then here's a cool album I inherited

Finished reading Jurassic Park for the first time. Great book,
Ian Malcolm's rants near the end feels super relevant today in its messaging. With the rise of vibe coding, gen-AI, etc, untrained skills and power sold like a Saturday night special.
Sadly, we don't at least get dinosaurs.

It has begun! On to starting my Final Fantasy III journey.
Not really sure what to expect, this one I’ve heard nothing about (other than sharing the name Final Fantasy III NA version aka VI) lol
Was able to track down the retconned names, I think?

Finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy II. I actually enjoyed it, even though it was a little rough at times lol.
So many dungeon dead ends, and while the password system was a nice add, it was sort of under utilized. Wish they added more to it lol still a fun play

I’ve been updating which assets to use for my game’s environment. I think it’s beginning to actually look pretty good!

🔥Hot take: Final Fantasy II isn't a bad game. ❗
I've been playing the Pixel Remaster version (which has a few QOL improvements) and I've been having a great time!
It suffers from trying to do too many new things at once (progression, password system) but think it's cool they tried new things 😀

Just beat Final Fantasy I for the first time ever!
I’ve played it a bunch on and off in the past but never actually to completion. (And to platinum trophy as well lol)
Was really fun for what it was and now into Final Fantasy II, a game I’ve never touched! 😅

What got you started on the path towards making games my game dev friends?
For me it was StarEdit / StarCraft Campaign Editor. The Trigger system was just complex enough to do whatever I needed without it becoming overwhelming for my 10 year old mind. 😅

Working on a crafting system in my Unreal Project and looking for some inspiration / examples ...
What game has your favorite Crafting system? 😀
Do you have a preference for knowing the recipe, learning them, or it all being a mystery until you attempt it??

How many of you remember the Tonka PC games? My brother and I used to played the hell out of them when we were kids. Specially Tonka construction.
I’ve been looking for abandonware games from my childhood to pass onto my son, they seem to still have all their charm!

Working on my weird little survivor game in Unreal today. It's been fun getting more experience using the tools that more or less come out of the box.
My den / office with zero air flow is too warm and the water is way too inviting, it's not fair lol

Looking into some shader work and GridMaps! First time fiddling with 3D in Godot land.

Started my own 30 day game jam
Rules are to just work on whenever I can this month,
when I’m not on baby duty or taking hundreds of pictures of him while he sleeps
I’ll get about the same total hours in as a weekend long jam lol
Let the sleep deprived new parent game jam begin
Current mood board

Question for yall.
When starting a game with the option to choose the names for your characters (and other things) do you leave them as the defaults?
Does it change if it’s the first play thru? Or different genres? (Stardew vs final fantasy)
