Next iteration where I decided that the starter unit was to be a shop unit with garage at rear. With the adding bonus of separating (and compartmentalizing) "different" activities in the game.

When you realize your videos / screenshots / media aren't doing your #IndieGame the full justice it deserves. Seriously, I'm sitting over here right now, in awe of the game I'm creating. This is some of my best work. Ever. But to truly get it, you'd have to experience it. 😌

When your #GameDev solution to a problem with screens constantly fighting with each other, is to clear "all objects" on the screen, and you're gassed it works.. Then you realise you just reinvented CLS from the 80's/90s. 😅 That.

Ever wondered why #VideoGames take such a long time to make? Well, this is just the last 7 months of my side arcade sim project. 😤 On the left, we have my never ending to-do-list.😶 On the right, results so far. Might not feel it, but I promise, it's 1,000,000% worth it! 🔥

Closing time.. time to restock. Wait.. I didn't put you there...
Clip from Gachicon Arcade. The lights are off, which is why it's dark, the weather has turned, hence the foggy atmosphere, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the giraffe that's sat on the shelf, while I do some restocking.

It's ok got my new Giraffe plushy to keep me company... Wait is that, food??!

Excited to start showing more of Gachicon Arcade soon. Been waiting for the game to be refined enough, i.e. closer to demo/early access stage. Definitely feel it's getting close. Hoping people will be pleasantly surprised when MY day to #PitchYaGame finally arrives. 😤😅

I have an important announcement re #PitchYaGame..
It's with a heavy heart, that after 5 years of incredible pitches.. the time has come.

May 26th 2020, the day #PitchYaGame blew up on Twitter, and I'll never forget that day. It literally changed my life, following what was an extremely difficult period of time.

We're on Wikipedia, we've had over 90 media articles covering both the event and the games pitched, you've helped PYG trend every time without fail.

The world has been blessed with amazing indie game pitches from literally over half of the world. We've changed peoples lives. Deals have definitely been made in the background.

So please realise that this was by far an easy decision to make.

But, unfortunately the time has come... to remove the count down timer from the front page.

I simply can't do it anymore. I'm constantly reminded if how soon the next round is away. So please forgive me, you're just going to have to add it to your calendars.

Thank you, and yes, #PitchYaGame is still here to stay (for now at least) with the next round coming up on November 7th 2025. See you then, pitches!
