Went to a local nerd convention last weekend with Drill Bird. Highlight was definitely seeing so many people enjoying making drillbird pärlplattor for free - lots of happy folk! Also fun to imagine people having drillbird art in their home 😊

Ah the classic post game done sadness. I also experience it, regardless of what I've made and how it's received. If it's any consolation it does pass :')

action therapist preview
PANEL 1: a mockup of a video game screen. Dr. Mariposa stands in the foreground and Diane in the background in a building. 

DIANE: "The police told me to take an ibuprofen and get over it..."

PANEL 2: the player, as Dr. Mariposa, is prompted to TALK

TALK: "Say more on that" 3 PSY
"That sounds like judgment." 5 PSY

PANEL 3: Diane is crying into her hands.

DIANE: "...Maybe you are the therapist who will break the terrible curse."

PANEL 4: Different view of a break room with stats for Dr. Mariposa. This area is called ADMIN BLDG BREAK ROOM and there are menu options to
MAKE COFFEE
MICROWAVE
BULLETN BOARD
DISH WASHER

PANEL 5: Dr. Mariposa is in an aquarium talking to a different patient. Again the player is prompted to TALK: "Let's go deeper on that." 3 PSY
"You're being pretty hard on yourself." 10 PSY

PANEL 6: screenshot of a cinema scene where Dr. Mariposa is looking angrily at a pouncing astronaut

MYSTERIOUS ASTRONAUT: "You won't traverse the catacombs of my mind so easily, Doc!"

Ya it's a really cool project! Have been meaning to give it a lil go as well, looking forward to taking the time

It's so hard to make things that reach people properly - once I spent four years making a game and it currently has less then 10 reviews. But finishing stuff is still so good for learning and growing and figuring out how one wants to work, I think ur mindset is super solid

I didn't grow up with Gameboy (mostly played on a console) but the game just oozes charm, fun and polish. For sure my most anticipated release this year

After procrastinating with new features for a long time, I finally locked in and made a solid dent on the level design for drill birds next update. I am channelling "let's punish the player" and having a lot of fun - hope the players like the tone as well 😏🪦

yo any recs for places to listen to music online? Spotify does not pay their artists and youtube keeps trying to get me addicted to Shorts. Or maybe I should just buy some music and only listen to stuff I've bought like an adult

Hell yeah, I tried Godot in 2024 and haven't looked back. It just feels way more fun to work in. I think it's because of how laser focused on gamedev it is, and FAST

I relate to this, I'm planning to buy a lil CD player in an attempt to make my brain appreciate albums in their entirety more. Streaming makes it way too easy to just put something on in the bg.
