iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I just deleted my #passpack account. I've been using it for 20 or so years, and I've been happy with the product. But, as my trust in the US' digital ecosystem and its regulations wanes, it was time to look closer to home and #buyfromeu. It saddens me this is a thing - global trust is important.

I'm going on a date tonight! With my wife! It's the first time in four years, when we got pregnant with our second. Butterflies i my belly, almost like a first date. "Will this beautiful woman like me? What should I wear? Where will we go?" So excited!

I need to be reminded about things. So I'm making a small dashboard with a raspberry pi and a small screen. It works pretty well - just the frame left! Will do a lego/wood combo, I think.

A digital dashboard on a small screen. The dashboard is divided into tiles. Tiles include 3d printer status, local weather, days since last commit on github, days since last bluesky post, days since last flickr post, days since last youtube upload.

Sometimes I feel like I forget to talk to people and share what I'm doing. Happens when I'm stressed. It's also when I need projects and social interactions the most. Anyone have any tips to remind oneself to not... disappear?

It’s been a while, but I’m back to work on You’re a dad💙 And I need some help! This scene is of Mom and Dad having their first, much-needed date night in quite some time. At home movie night is fun, but what are they watching?

There is a TV with a question mark in the background. In the foreground, the hands of a man are holding a bag of popcorn and reaching into it, and then the hand of a woman is reaching to share the popcorn.

CJ from Pause & Effect spent some time with You're a dad, and I really enjoyed seeing how he approached the game. He will be covering a bunch of fun demos from #SteamNextFest in the coming days - looking forward to that!

Today I learned that V-Sync can cause input lag. In my case there was a very noticeable delay after clicking on a button. Disabling V-Sync removed the delay. Good lesson! The next game I make will be more graphics heavy, so I'll take that one with me. docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/tutor...

I love how @sprainedtootsie.dev did the bathroom in You're a dad. Never thought I'd swoon for a bathroom, but here we are! We're likely entering the updated demo in Steam Next Fest in October. Exciting! store.steampowered.com/app/3160540/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #textadventure

At the end of each day in You're a dad your family pops by for a visit. Serve them dinner! Unless you forget, or get caught in antics. (So happy with the way @sprainedtootsie.dev's art breathes life into the game!) #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/app/3160540/...

My wife and I just had our first outing on our own since we got our second kid two years ago. Gamedev, projects, work and hobbies in all their glory - sometimes I "forget" what life is truly about. Friends, family, making the most of the time we have. It was a lovely night.

The entire family has been ill the past two weeks. We've been doing it asynchronously - first the son, then the daughter, then the wife, then me. Now the daughter is ill again. Here's hoping we can abort the Promise of the next one getting ill so the family can have its energy back.

Something has been locked up in your fridge in You're a dad. It's a big eye. Why is it there? Will it eat your family? Do big eyes have teeth? Does it fit in a ball? Good questions. #screenshotsaturday Illustration by @sprainedtootsie.bsky.social, who is giving the game a fantastic art overhaul.

Life has been intense the past weeks, so I haven't had much time to work on You're a dad. Still! Happy to say that I'm exploring a change of art direction. Hired some artists for test illustrations, and began brushing up my own skills as a fallback. Hope to commit to a direction next week.

Skippity Rock is a #hyper-casual mobile #game where you try to skip a rock from platform to platform to gain the highest score while collecting stars to shop with. If you miss the platform, your rock will sink and you’ll have to start over. It’s relaxing, and more importantly a lot of fun.

When you experience things that feel off in my text adventure the UI starts to crack and fall apart. When you've experienced enough of this dissonance you can unlock one of the more detailed endings that explain why things are the way they are. #screenshotsaturday #textadventure #visualnovel

A screenshot from the game "You're a dad". The screen looks cracked, as if someone has punched through the screen. The current location is the Living room.

Billy Basso said somewhere that he built the puzzles in Animal Well in layers. Some are for the casual players, some for the more advanced. I took some inspiration and decided to integrate a more advanced(-ish) #puzzle. This keypad should be fairly hard to open. #textadventure #indiegame

A picture of a keypad in the game You're a dad. The current description reads:

The buttons on the keypad are enticing. It seems to request a four character combination. What's the first key you press?

Experimenting with player rewards and narratives in my text adventure. The player goes through endings, and I want each ending to feel valuable. It should unravel a bit about a story arc or just provide reactivity for the next playthrough. Is the reactivity clear with the text highlight here?

A screenshot from the game You're a dad. The current text reads:

"Your philosophically adept child chimes in. It's as if he can hear your thoughts. "Nietzsche, father. The quote is generally considered open for interpretation, but is about identifying with - or sometimes becoming - the adversity we're facing."

A screenshot from the game You're a dad. It shows an ending screen, saying:

"Forgetting the child leaves it to fend on its own. That leads to bad decisions - and a doctorate in philosophy. Brrr."
