Claws's development is now at a point where I'm running out of new features to implement but finding bugs that warrant going back to refactor lots of code that was written several years ago when I had little idea what ideal object composition practices were. I can't wait to work on art assets again.

Make it exist first... then leave it exactly as it is because quite frankly other tasks take priority sometimes. It's already good enough and nobody will spot that tiny mistake, and the fact that you created something in the first place is already an achievement

I've not been giving myself enough time to draw purely for fun lately, was always a comm or an asset for some bigger project. Never tried putting serious effort into drawing my #KOF main either so badabingbadaboom #art

I take back what I said about 2d polygon-based level construction. I'm doubling down on it and going full hog with extensions, plugins, even some straight up engine modifications to make this level editing workflow as smooth as possible.

It's a source of shame that my hopes of having a playable demo ready by the end of the year are all but dashed. Alas, most of my gamedev experience is with bringing characters to life since that's like 80% of MVP in jam settings. Not so much environment art/level design experience. This changes now.

I get really annoyed by people using the word "emulation" when they really mean "piracy". I understand being afraid to more blatantly promote piracy but this has the side effect of geriatric legislators, lawyers & judges not understanding the difference and throwing legal emulation under the bus.

Going for 100% achievements in Dragon Quest 3 HD2D got me actually using the merchant I left behind for a change.

Getting so pissed off at Godot's Polygon2D editor that I'm probably gonna put Claws's development on hiatus AGAIN just to contribute fixes to all my nitpicks and annoyances with the editor. I've got a lot of brushing up on C++ to do.

Headcanon: Kraid isn't one guy, but a species that the space pirates domesticated/genetically modded to be guard dogs of a sort. The design for Kraid used in the first game is the wild undomesticated version that hasn't been bred for size and tougher hide that resists Samus's weaponry.

Deadlock is TF2 if everyone had Scout's movement, a shitty pistol as your primary weapon, Soldier's rockets but you only get to fire one every 3 seconds, and 3x the health of a fully overhealed Heavy. Also you're playing 5CP with MvM upgrades. (No I really don't like it).

Im ngl, way bigger fan of Mother Brain's design from the first Metroid. Girl lost all her aura when Super decided to give her a single big round eye and that goofy ass body. The old design screams "biomechanical horrors beyond our understanding" a lot more.

Hi yea it just occurred to me I haven't posted jack in a while about my game's development. It's been taking a back seat for a while because someone very close to me needed programming help with their Undertale fangame. Ain't much left I gotta work on before I get back to my own project. Hang tight.

Possibly the worst part of wanting to learn a completely new instrument and buying the cheapest one available is that you have no idea if the instrument is built like shit or your technique is just bad. Is that gonna stop me from trying to learn violin? nope.

Migrating PC to new case. GPU was mere milimeters too long because of this stupid notch protruding out the back. Shaved down the plastic with a hobby knife to get it to fit. Looks like I could really use a rotary cutter.

Here I will be posting a thread about what I learned by periodically profiling the performance of my game on a 12 year old potato. A lot of this thread's info may be Godot Engine-specific, but I hope it's insightful either way.

I promise I'm still working hard on my game, it's just that I got very little to show for it. It's all a bunch of visually boring stuff like *checks notes* just making sure everything works as intended and figuring out what works/what doesn't for level design

This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them! (Really wanted a PJ so I could have more tone versatility, but that classic P bass will always have a use)

Linux experience so far has been a mix of either "this thing works better and faster and more elegantly than Windows" or "this thing took me an hour of googling to get working" with very little in-between.

There's a whole lot of story I want to tell in the form of a comic, but the main thing holding me back besides my debilitating ADHD is my instinct to test the limits of my skill. Slowly though, I'm figuring out a flow that reconciles the desire to improve with the need to finish the product.

Anyone else wonder all the time what video game items/powerups taste like? Like I imagine this potion being a thick syrup of artificial cherry flavor and red 40.

The PS2 truly is the best console ever because it is constantly becoming more powerful. Each time we say something "looks like a PS2 game" we're talking about a game of a higher fidelity than the last. What the PS2 is capable of in 2025 is so far beyond what it was capable of in 2003. That's amazing

Experiments for the next enemy type have begun. Figured out wall crawling navigation similar to the zoomers from Metroid. Got it to be pretty good at handling sharp convex corners but I still need to work on contingencies so it doesn't get stuck on concave corners too steep. #gamedev

Found out that Krita has a normal map brush that uses the angle detection of pens that support it to determine the color. I could have had a way less miserable time putting together my normal maps this whole time and idk if I should be mad or happy that I've made work 10 times easier.

What bothered me the most about the shootemup genre while I was trying to get into it was that unlike platformers, you don't have much control over the pace which you go through a level. Not many chances for a mental breather, and one small lapse in concentration can kill you instantly. (Cont.)

Trying to fix the fact that I'm pure ass at shootemups. After sifting through dozens of games I think Thunder Force IV is my best teacher. Drop dead gorgeous game but also clicks with me the most with how it paces its obstacles in the early-game.

Digging inside a multi-thousand volt miniature particle accelerator was one of the scariest things I had to do, but my CRT is back from being dead for a year! All it needed was a replacement for one transistor that shorted. I think I can carry out electronics repairs with a lot more confidence now.

Since I'm working at a PC all the time I figured these vertical mice that's supposed to be easier on your wrists is a good investment. Did not dissapoint. Very comfortable + clicking feels like you're pulling the trigger on the joystick of a mech so FPS games feel way more immersive lol.

Call me crazy but I vastly prefer the blue shirt+red/green overalls palette for the Mario bros. Since red and green are their defining colors, it makes more sense for the overalls (the most prominent piece of clothing besides the hat) should be red/green while the shirt is blue for an accent color.

As I was working on the rest of the first lineup of enemies, I found there's a lot of duplicate code or very similar code that needs to be shared/refactored. I'm finding myself having to think outside the box with object composition more than I ever have before. Anything in the name of efficiency.
