Folks my hometown and the surrounding area got hit with a wild storm that's caused floods, deaths, and widespread damage. If you've got some spare cash people are in dire need of support. alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Started playing the original Metal Gear Solid and had 2 main thoughts: 1: Snake has flirted with every female character so far and is 2/3 on reciprocation. Did not expect that. 2: a lot more talking than expected. Also, that first boss fight is fucking weird and possibly my favorite of all time.

I had the weird moment where I was watching a show and Steve Buscemi showed up, and then I found myself so distracted by the fact that all I can think is Steve Buscemi and not the character he’s playing…so I’m putting down the show for the night. Like love the guy’s work, just a very distinct actor

So one of my favorite games is a gameboy rpg-superlite about doing chores…

So I learned that I should probably double-check that I un-hid the final build of the game on Itch by the time I said the game would be out. But I fixed it! My first game My Cat Malice is finally out!!! You can find it here: mildwest-games.itch.io/my-cat-malice #gamedev

So now a month out from releasing my first game, and all I gotta do for launch is -finish up fixing hi-score saving -one final playtest to set base high scores -work on thank you gifts for the crew that helped me get here. It’s super exciting. My Cat Malice, out August 1st #gamedev

After getting absolutely annihilated by Rane from Lone Zerg in my own game, I’ve now trounced his score… …all it took was adding more stages, several lines of code, a combo system, pots all being worth points, and a couple more mechanics… … but still, 141,000 vs 8300. Checkmate. #gamedev

Arctic Comic Con Day 1 is done! Great time demoing a gaggle of games from local Alaskan devs. Always exhausting but always great to directly connect with local geeks and gamers ♥️😀♥️ #gamedev #alaska #comiccon

Retro achievements may have single-handedly changed my relationship with gaming. I wish I was kidding but getting that dopamine kick of achievement unlocked in games I thought I had exhausted is amazing

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 07/03/2025

Finally put at least enough art to make a demo of my cat-zoomie break-stuff platformer My Cat, Malice. This is the furthest I've brought a game and it's about time to start showing it. #gamedev

The matte Xbox 360 S is an all-time great console design. 🥰

Built a main screen for my cat-based speed platforming game, which also happens to be my first full game. I'm excited how it's coming together. Thank you to @wy477.bsky.social for the assistance in troubleshooting and helping me how to think like a dev.

So after about an hour of swearing at the steam deck for defying all my attempts to implement the Input library for Gamemaker, decided to run a Windows build in handheld. No idea why that worked, but surreal to be playing a game I’m making on a fight stick. Feels like full circle from being a kid…

If a cat were to theoretically tear up a room in your house, which room would you think they would destroy?

Just started developing an arcade game about my cat, Maggie. She was not pleased that her digital self could jump into the window easily.

As someone who grew up Christian, this morning was a perfect example of my issues with American Evangelicalism, and part of the reason I will probably never enter a church again.

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 11/03/2024

So I had a bug that ruined the original build of WMD, so had one of @wy477wh173.bsky.social 's canon events. Thank you to Wyatt for helping me get git set up. And now I have it rebuilt and backed up with version control.

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 10/03/2024

So I finally made the MIDI sync and collisions work in #Godot, and we now have a playable prototype for WhiteManDance. Now begins the act of fleshing it out to a full game! If you want to try the prototype, you can find it here: hiccupetc.itch.io/whitemandanc...

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 08/03/2024

Any #Godot developers have experience building games for multi-screen play? I have an idea that I'm working on an idea that would use two monitors, but wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences with it.

After a night of playing Overwatch with my partner and friends, I desperately wish I could make an arcade style game that harnesses that degree of toxicity and actively shames people for it

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 05/03/2024

I don't know why I thought using a midi player would be the best idea for my rhythm game in #Godot , but it is giving me a good lesson in whatever makes the thing work is a right answer even if it's not the best right answer.

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 01/03/2024

I thought I was OK with #gamedev until I was doing trig after work muttering profanities at the computer trying to make the bullets spin right. And now my brain feels like looking at the Matrix: just lines of code flying by.

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 29/02/2024

So @wy477wh173.bsky.social keeps telling me to post more. So I just finished my 3rd project in my Dev-A-Week learning challenge: a little game called the button. Simple little thing about pushing a button and then seeing if the number goes up. It's feeling better. hiccupetc.itch.io/the-button

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 27/02/2024

Some rough sketchups of the current project: a simple little random draw game. Has since been replaced by some vector work, but I might switch it out for these since it has a Rorschach vibe to it almost. Dev-a-Week #3: The Button

Mr. Mildwest @mrmildwest.bsky.social · 24/02/2024

So @wy477wh173.bsky.social has been pushing me to do this, but I've started learning game development in Godot by doing a small mini-game every week for as long as I feel like it's helping and posting it to itch along with the code. Feel free to check out and critique or tweak! hiccupetc.itch.io
