Just finished my entry for SCREAM JAM 2025.
It's a little ugly and a little rough around the edges, but I definitely got 2 scares out of it already and it has a whole game loop!

Just posted a write up for the #pico8 workshop i ran last night.
It went pretty well :D
I got some good feedback from the attendees as to what I should change to make it run a little smoother.
I'd like to polish it up before I advertise the larger workshop

Today I'm going to be giving a #pico8 workshop at my local gamedev group.
It's very basic, but i'm hoping to cover the essential parts of video games and game development.
if anyone wants to check out the carts i made for it, they're up on my blog at:

Well my pharmacy has vyvanse on backorder, so I guess it’ll be a couple of weeks until I start on it.

Sorry for the long silence. Life has been a lot lately…
I’m going to be starting some adhd meds next week, so hopefully I’ll be more able to put some good focus time into my gamedev. 🤞

So i hit a new stage in my journey to distract myself from working on camera shy.
The local #gamedev meetup I organize is running our first game jam, so i started working on my entry for that yesterday.
spent a couple hours yesterday and got func_godot and player movement set up

I think i'm going make a tiny game out of just what I have done with camera shy.
It'll be good for me to get a little something out there. It'd be good to have a set number of levels to build
After I finish the email client, I'll be making a 5-level tiny camera shy :)

ADHD hits hard sometimes.
I was working on my game’s email client, started wondering how email works, then spent the next 2 hours setting up my own email server.
I only just realized I got lost in a rabbit hole.
So it’s cool that I have that now, but my game’s email client still isn’t done 😅

Back to the #gamdev updates!
yesterday was pretty busy! I got a lot more functionality set up in func_godot for level design and I fixed a small bug I found (which they already fixed in an unreleased branch, but still)
Today i've been working on my game's fake email client

Just finished making a few custom resources for rapidly making those hackable computer desktop scenes.
Now I just list out the icons and what they do instead of placing each individually

godot's whole plugin system is really pleasant to work with. I started messing with custom gizmos and that's been pretty cool

That's nice. Now I can hopefully weed out all the AI art accounts in my feed without mass blocking people.
