In the 22 hours since adding the web version of We Need More Humans to my Itch page, it's had over 500 plays. Sitting at a 3.7% CTR too. From my understanding, that's pretty good. Is it? #gamedev

First iteration of the capsule art for my incremental game about abducting people with a UFO. I'm thinking maybe the UFO is *too* shiny. Thoughts? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Why hand animate complex movement like this when you can spend hours coming up with a custom solution for your IK to correctly rotate around the scooter bars depending on the scooter's orientation #gamedev

Lesson for indies; your steam art is so damn important it's actually insane

I've also just realised I've been going about grind detection all wrong. This is why dev hell is so easy to fall into

Me: This is the year I get this game on track and work towards finishing it Also me: Oh shit I just figured out a new way to go about transition physics
