After observation of gamemaker 2's collision system, I'm gonna make the expedited 'keep it simple' solution of just run with a smaller invisible tileset only for collisions and the occasional object as wall with collision rather than dig deep into non-square tile collision programming, bweh.

It was a very glitchy work weekend at the escape room this weekend. The brain is very tired from system errors and bug fixing.

From Insta. This is so neat! We need monsters like this. Stylized, fluid, unconventional.

(Not me however. My spine says “no,” but in less polite terms.)

A random art I made to brainstorm names for the fictional eras leading up to my Sharkfolk’s modern age.

Besides the Anthropocene extinction, the planet faced two more subsequent mass extinctions, along with the past "big five," meaning sharks would have survived eight mass extinctions in total.

Okay, in fairness, this is only my own work and not the result of a conference. But in unfairness: I thought it would be funniest to just plant this flag as soon as possible.

It's the K811 by MKESPN ! I wanted a Tourbox initially but I'm chronically jobless so I had to go for a cheap one and this guy really does the job, it came with a little case, a cable and two replacement switches for the keys - I'd definitely recommend it if you're on a budget !
