I think I've made a mistake. In drawing up the ideas for the tactics game, I've realized the main protagonist would have abilities more suited for an action/platformer type game. Oops.

Day ??? Damn, 5 months. I wasn't expecting to just die for that long. Hi guys. I'm thinking pretty seriously about starting a new project. #gamedev #indiedev

Day -1 And so, after a long break, I have finally come to a final decision. House Rules is to be delayed indefinitely. Development is halted and the project shelved. #GameDev #IndieDev #HouseRulesGame

Day ???+? I think I'm ready to get back into things soon. I've committed a year and change into this project. I'd like to see it released.

Day ??? Dear @yahtzeecroshaw.bsky.social I'll start by saying your latest video was well done and etc. etc. But your biggest sin is that it's bothered me on a personal level for personal reasons because of a personal conundrum. Tl;dr YOU'RE NOT HELPING Signed, Dag

Day 432? It...felt weird not posting. Which like, cool. That was the entire point. But now what?

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Day ??? I'm officially taking a break so I'll stop the counter. I just wanted to say I'm doing my part to fund Nintendo's legal battle vs the US by buying Pokopia

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Day 430 I think... I need to take a break. 430 days and the project's been stalling out all this year. I'm burnt out. I may even take a break from posting for a bit. #GameDev #IndieDev

Day 429 Sorry, I'm really not feeling it right now.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Day 428 Er, no progress Damn John XCOM. Why is that a base defense in the first month I've lost several files that were just too crippled to continue without the decency of a game over.

010

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Day 427 Yes progress! ...er, maybe. ...I'll be honest, the Shatranj Jamal...the camel piece... this isn't TOO phallic, is it?

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Day 425 I'm trying to force myself to keep going, but I need to face facts: I'm bored of the project. ...I think I'm doing this wrong. An Idea is forming in my head, but it would mean trashing a lot of work. There ought to be more of an emphasis on customizing pieces.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Day 424 I wound up playing XCOM. The original one. Not much done today

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Day 423 Just working on misc. Sadly, nothing exciting.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Day 422 Christ alive. I've just had a rotten day, and on top of it all, I've had two more teeth pulled. There's still two more left that need to come out. I'm beat to shit and all I want to do is sleep.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Day 421 I think I've got enough content here mapped out, and I need to start acting on it all.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Day 420 No. No goddamit, no. I'm going to at least crack open github and do...I dunno, SOMETHING before bed tonight.

210

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Day 419 I'm just exhausted. I'm not up for doing much right now, so I'll make the post in case that holds. I want to get back to it soon.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 22/02/2026

Day 418 At long last I'm finishing up the big things. Controller took yet ANOTHER day to build, test, dislike, redesign, rebuild, but it's good now. I still need to finish up the Ikea shelves tomorrow. Still, things are looking up, and I can get back to devwork again

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Day 417 Im off to get bodied in tournaments for my birthday wooo

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Day 416 Look, my birthday is tomorrow, I'm not doing much until after then

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Day 415 I waged war with Ikea and I'm... not fully done but hell, mostly functional

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 18/02/2026

Day 414 I'm trying to force myself back into things and trying to do simple pieces... uhhh.... Behold the Shatranj Faras?

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Day 413 Okay LOOK. I wasnt planning on my controller fighting back on me every step of the way. I was supposed to be done way early and then I could focus on dev work. ARGH. IM TIRED OF THIS.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Day 412 I'm not doing very well today. Sorry

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Day 411 Lots of housework and some controller building. I've also got stuff going on tomorrow. Ikea is involved.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 14/02/2026

Day 410 I'm done house-sitting. Just feeling exhausted

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

Day 409 I've got a decent list put together, at least for now. I think it's enough pieces for a decent open Beta, anyway. Some of the more complicated pieces will simply have to wait.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Day 408 At long last, I've drilled down my hesitance: I dunno what the finished product looks like.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

Day 407 I need to fix the team builder.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Day 406 And the gears start moving. Nothing exciting still, but hey.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Day 405 As karmic retribution, my neck has an awful pain in it. I'll be fine, but I couldn't focus on anything.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Day 402 Sorry, I wound up not doing much today either. I think I just need to put myself in front of my desktop.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Day 401 Nothing exciting, just UI stuff. I need a goal, reignite passion

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Day 400 I think the significant thing I do today is just admit to myself I needed a few days off from the project instead of doing the "I should work on it" and then beat myself up for not working on it. But I do want to get back to it again.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Day 399 Oh shit tomorrow is day 400 I should actually do something more significant

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Day 398 Not much, but at least I'm moving on it again.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Day 397 Uhh... I should stop playing Hades for a bit. Fuck me, though, it's addicting to go fast as fuck boi, mashing my face against the controller while stupid amounts of statuses and arrows and all sorts of nonsense just occurs.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Day 396 No progress. Started playing Hades, actually. The first one. Never got around to it before, even though I loved Bastion. It's fun.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Day 395 I'm moving stuff again. Partner is house-sitting a different place from me, and I'm helping to pack. Don't expect much.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Day 394 No progress. Got a bit busy. But i am feeling more up for working on stuff tomorrow

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Day 393 No progress I pet a black cat today... Then later my bike tire went completely flat. I can't believe it cursed me because I didn't have treats/had to stop petting it at some point.

000

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Day 392 Tomorrow I'm going back to housesitting, so I won't get much done. Been playing more Street Fighter though. Really starting to feel like the harder opponents aren't impossible to eventually win against! It'll just take me a while longer yet.

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Day 391 Wound up doing other things, but I DID at least get one more model done: the Go Stone

100

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Day 390 Taking today off too, but differing reason. I've spent all day fighting blender trying to make a new fighting game controller. My current controller is a behemoth of a failed experiment that's hanging together with Blu-tack.

101

Dag - Counter Duck Games @counterdag.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Day 388 Starting work on a few things. Info box, piece unification... Things that have been bothering me.
