I don't think I want to share my predictions for the future. I might have some cocoa and disassociate for a while instead.

In response to a video about students from the 60s predicting the future someone commented:

@grok how come kids in 1966 knew more than what i know now?

First negative review. I won't screenshot, but a major criticism is the lack of instructions and not indicating what items do. The store page says this: "No instructions. No interruptions. This is a game about exploration and experimentation." Is there a way I could make this clearer? #gamedev

Daniel is sharing his starter pack of game devs that don't use AI, so I figured rather than just repost it, I would quote post it with my three no AI game dev starter packs. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

Some bugs have been brought to my attention. I might not get around to fixing this one though. Game breaking physics issues take precedence. #gamedev

I've been working on a foliage shader. It interacts with the player, global wind and wind effects. #gamedev #indiedev

So close to 200 reviews!! Here's a compilation of some that focus more on Elfie than the sandcastle puzzle gameplay. Come for puzzles, stay for Elfie. Elfie: A Sand Plan Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/3784760/... #indiegame #indiedev #godot

A compilation of mostly short Steam user reviews for Elfie: A Sand Plan. These ones mostly revolve around Elfien rather than the sandcastle puzzle gameplay.

Have you played a game today? Or gone for a walk? If your game isn't releasing in the next week you should take a guilt-free break. It's healthy, efficient, sexy and cool. #indiedev #gamedev

Somebody(a deadset legend) has not only reviewed Whelm, but played for over 20 hours?!?! I'm choosing to believe you didn't just leave it running overnight because you've increased my motivation by 873%.

Phew, just a bug. I thought I had my first containment break for a second. Can't have that now.

I will be posting less frequently until the 1.0 release. I don't want to spoil the whole game. Rest assured the work continues.

Not much to show this week unfortunately. Managed to catch HFMD from a kid in my family and it is kicking my ass. Haven't eaten solid food in almost a week. I guess I never had it before, because these symptoms are insane. If you hear that virus is spreading, you run.

Sled improvements. Matches angle of the ground properly, suspension and far better handling. Dust also increases based on speed and turns. This particular bit of jank has been bothering me for a long time. #gamedev #indiedev
