Daily bunny no.3453 is looking back
Bunnies sit at a table outside a cafe, called the Luna Cafe. It is on the surface of the moon, looking at a distant planet earth. They sip from mugs while a third bunny watches from a second floor balcony.

Panel 11: Audrey's head happily pops out of the water, sending little droplets flying and reflecting the moonlight. "This was something aquatic," Val narrates, "Gentle. Curious. Unhurt."

Panel 12: Audrey's eyes sparkle as he notices a rubber duck floating around in the pool with him. It has round glasses, making it look kinda like Val. "Or maybe not unhurt," Val continues narrating, "but..."

Panel 13: Audrey picks up the rubber duck, smiling and inspecting it curiously.

Panel 14: Audrey holds up the rubber duck above his head so that Val can see it, big smile beaming. Behind him is an almost magical, chromatic sky filled with red, yellow, green, and blue stars, galaxies, and a huge moon. All of these elements are also reflected in the rippling pool, making it look like a paint-filled art easel. "Not defined by hurt," thinks Val.

opinions on showing games at events (mostly a memo to myself for the next time i have to do it)
Have a screen visible above the crowd to draw people in.
Show something on it like an attract mode or gameplay video to communicate at a glance what the player does in the game. NOT just a title and logo!
Make the demo station inviting. Decoration, not clutter. Comfy seat, comfy headphones. Unless you NEED a mouse and keyboard, a controller is way friendlier.
Set up some call to action like "Press X to start demo" on screen. People should feel like they can sit down and start without someone giving them help or permission.
Don't stand in the way of the game. People wanna see the game, not you!
Have cards or fliers available for people who are interested, but don't shove them into everybody's hands as they pass.
Don't deliver the game's pitch unless someone is REALLY curious. You are not trying to pull people into a sleazy nightclub, back off and let people explore at their leisure.

After a whole year, I'm back in México with @moskidraws.bsky.social! 🌮 It feels very nostalgic to be back, especially after the ordeal of making this trip happen. Moski has been to Portugal twice since last time, so it felt about time for me to return here for us to work together in-person again. 🐳
A selfie of Moski and me at the airport, smiling at the camera beside a statue of a crab with a red body, green claws, and white stars, representing the colours of the Mexican flag. The crab has its two claws raised above our heads, and has "México" written on it in black graffiti-style lettering.

This was also the best week to arrive here, as tomorrow is my birthday! 🍰 I'll be kicking off a new decade of my life (30) here, and I hope that starting it abroad is a great sign of the things ahead. I'll share more thoughts about it tomorrow, but for now, I wanted to share the trip with y'all! 🥳

A lot of this year has been about finding and rebuilding our rhythm as a team and getting our game moving again, with @johnelliottmusic.com too! Moski's stay in Portugal helped us find our footing again. Now that we're sharing a table, I want this trip to turn that into proper momentum as a team. 💪

It's not even bad in terms of amenities, cleanliness, and what not, it's really that the transfers are an absolute backrooms-level labyrinth. I'm hoping the numbering changes next year makes it easier to navigate. And also having to pay almost 9€ for a Frappuccino but that's a whole other ordeal. 💀

I honestly don't know how popular the movie is with locals! For the number of times I've been at this airport during layovers, I've never actually set foot in the city. 😅 I picture that, at least here in Paris and closer to the Disney park, there's likely a lot of this stuff around. 🐀

Hope everyone at gamescom this week had a fantastic time! 🤗 We sadly didn't head there ourselves this year. However, the reports of stolen hardware, poor security, and booths being broken into are really concerning. It's awful seeing devs have hardware their work and livelihoods depend on stolen. 🫂

Multiple stories being shared of expensive equipment being stolen from Gamescom booths - both at indie consumer areas and business areas - despite the apparent presence of security. In some cases, it has cut developer's events short, as they can't show their games. Abysmal.

Saving is one of those systems that's hard to figure out at times (especially when you account for platform limitations) but it's worth the time to research and figure out. Once you arrive at a save system and structure you're satisfied with, you pretty much end up reusing it across all projects.

Let me know if you'd like any pointers about this! I used to struggle a lot with this myself, but eventually figured out a key/value system similar to PlayerPrefs, but where the value data is stored as JSON and then everything is saved to a file, which allows me to save more complex data structures.

Genuine question, but when did CEOs become public spokespeople for companies? Shouldn't that be the job of marketing or PR, exactly so you don't end up with extremely bad takes like this? When did the role of a CEO go from managing spreadsheets and numbers to being a public star for their company?

Remember when Facebook killed like 4 different websites by lying about their video numbers. I think you can just look around. People don't post to thread..... threads. People don't screen caps of funny threads posts. Even if the numbers are semi accurate, it's not going to serve you.

Yesterday was one of those days where I got as much stuff done as some entire weeks. 😅 Just a lot of open threads finally coming together after dragging on for months. I've been balancing travel plans, medical stuff, industry involvement, studio work, our game, and more. It gets tiring at times! 💦
A doodle of me exhausted, lying face-down on the floor while wearing a blue shirt, jeans and trainers, raising one arm to give an enthusiastic thumbs-up. There are three yellow emphasis marks above my thumb, while a scribble above my head suggests exhaustion. Besides me, a small red Pikmin stares in silence. This doodle was drawn by MoskiDraws.

Now that we're back at it, I'm really enjoying the work we've been doing to tie Townseek's narrative together. The interesting challenge has been realising that we're not just writing a single story, but that we're trying to create a cohesive narrative that spans three generations of sharks. 🦈
A cutscene picture of Townseek, showing a photo in an old time-sepia tone. An anthropomorphic shark and cat are surrounded by a crowd of oddly shaped people made of stone. The shark looks confused while the cat is trying to show the stone people something from her books. The stone people look mildly concerned. There are buildings made out of rock in the background, with a giant stone face-shaped building in the very back that looks a bit grouchy and pensive.
