Freelance Writer - Sci-fi and general nerd noise. I guess I also make games? Sort of? I also talk about Final Fantasy too much. I am very sorry. https://wbhwords.wordpress.com/ https://wbhwrites.itch.io/ Contact: [email protected]

It's (not) finished!

Deadline is at 6PM, but I sleep all day today, so this is as much as I could make in the 70 hours that I had to work on it. All art, code, and sounds were done by me and me alone...which is why it's as rough as anything that I make.

Exactly. Which is why all AI platforms need to be smothered to death.

Last year, my wife had a genuine moment with a puffer fish at an aquarium.

I’ve got my eyes on that one since the fan translation dropped. Just need to loosen my wallet up enough to buy an 20-something year old Japanese PS1 game online and I’ll be on my way.

I’ll second it. There is a non-zero chance that it will bore the hell out of you, but if it clicks with you, it’s an electrifying film. I loved it.

Oh God. I want that VDGG box set so much…

Aaron, it shows a clear misunderstanding of your platform that you would use AI in any capacity. Pretty much everyone on this platform loathes AI, and you’re sitting here feeding out posts to it.

Try doing the actual work of moderation instead.

when I see someone actually writing down a movie I recommend instead of ignoring it like everyone else

This will be me when I have time to play.

“Same shit, different day” rolls off the tongue well enough.

I'm going to start digging into the submissions that are already up in a few minutes. I uploaded this morning before I went to sleep. It's messy, but I made it across the finish line!

I CAN GO SEE RUSH WITH MY WIFE!!! I CAN TAKE MY DAUGHTER. OH MY GOD. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD GET TO DO THIS.

Wait. Sixty. I only had sixty hours. I'm tired.

It's already getting shipped with a single blah ass level because of the code issues I've had. I just forced the rest of the little bit of fluff through the wringer to get it finished up.

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 2d

Running out of time to work on the jam game, and it's got a serious bug that I can't figure out. Also, the title screen won't load at all, and I haven't finished sound.

I have to go to bed in less than four hours...

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 3d

Alright, I have to finish hacking out the rest of this game jam project. I need to finish a few states, and balance it to at least have a playable level in it.

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 3d

Just spent an hour building my very first gunpla. Yes, it’s an entry level model, but I haven’t built anything like this since I was seven, and that was a car.

This is much better than the car.

An entry level model of the RX-78 from Mobile Suit Gundam.

Anyway, Swifties, don’t come into my feed to harass me for saying negative things about your favorite billionaire pop star. This isn’t about you or her, I just like weird shit, and her music sounds like licking a sheet of construction paper.

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 3d

That fact that I would write a fairer review of a Taylor Swift album than Ben Shapiro is kinda funny to me because I find her music to be positively awful.

For one, I’d review the record, not just blast her for being a woman who says things.

I've been chipping away at this for the better part of six hours straight, and I just cleared the level. It's messy and kind of bad, but it's functioning. Good times!

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 3d

I've had Out There Screaming on my TBR pile for so long...Maybe I'll stop checking things out of the library after my most recent Percival Everett pickup and read that instead.

William B Hill @wbhwrites.bsky.social · 3d

I've got a script spawning enemies into my Ludum Dare project, and I've officially made the game Too Hard For Me To Finish. If I can get this tweaked and playable, I'll have a functioning gameplay loop and can get back to iterating on it.

I’ve got my copy. For Switch 1. And a Switch 2 update.
