Revealed in Wholesome Snack last December, TOEM 2 is out today! Toem 2 is a charming sequel that gives us more of what we loved from Toem: it reminds players beauty is in the world around us, if we take the time to stop, pay attention, and choose to actively care.

This is very random but I just remembered this simpsons episode where Homer reads a book to Lisa Aside from the sweet scene, what Lisa says at the end stuck with me, cuz like, it's true You *can* dislike a story's ending and just say "the one I thought of is better" and move on with your life

Objects' persistent state is simpler and more automated now! Blob enemies now track their stunned-state and held items even if you leave the room. Puzzles track their state too. And they can avoid softlocks, if we, say, walk through walls so that the barriers block our way in. #MayGame #gamedev

Before planning the perfect crime, the first step is to review the dossier specifically the record of the target's routine actions. The higher the player's INS(Insight), the better the quality of this record and the fewer "empty" tiles there will be on the starting map #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

On the technical side, it seems like simple puzzles in adventure games need 4 things: 1. what action(s) will trigger an is-this-solved check? 2. what is the is-this-solved check? 3. what will occur when the puzzle is solved? 4. how to check if this puzzle was already solved? #gamedev #gamedesign

Had an idea for my new Zelda 2 inspired project, where in addition to the standard progression items, there could also be a roguelike inspired item system of small upgrades. I imagine they’d be all over but you’d lose one every couple hits or something idk #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming

One more use for subsprites. Hats! I want to add lots of hats as optional collectibles/rewards. They fit with the cozy/cute atmosphere of the game, aren't too hard to add, and would give plays some cosmetic customization. And hiding them for players to find will be fun! 😁 #MayGame #gamedev

Thinking about that time that Game Freak put an NPC that doesn't move on this bridge, because otherwise the player stepping on that tile would have triggered the cave entrance that is *underneath* the bridge at the same position (source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdFQ... )
