Looked into getting a MEM vending machine which is very reasonably sized but the bidding starts at $1500! So we decided if we can raise $1000 we’ll cover the rest. Donate here! venmo.com/code?user_id...

Went on a long 19 month journey with UFO 50 from building the LX in January 2025 to installing it at @wonderville.nyc to cosplaying as Woogy at @magfest.org and it’s finally done- 50 cherries. What a ride. What a game. Thank you @mossmouth.bsky.social

Hats off to UI designers. Can feel like a desperate exploration through less and less worse options, which ALL feel disturbingly off If you navigate that w/your sanity intact and are lucky, you can reach the mountaintop: obvious To which you'll get 🤷 "of course—what else would it be" #design

given that there's a contact sensor in the ball, i think the world cup broadcasts are missing an opportunity to implement screen shake

i.e., the player is always “right”… tho often that’s not your right.

Totally—I'm sure it's different for different people. I mean, I even enjoy graphic design, but I still put it off because I find it hard to switch gears. And 💯 re:experimenting aimlessly. I'm really good at that 😅 What's hard is that, often, I don't even realize I'm doing it

This has happened so many times. 😬 I decided to make a post about it so maybe this lesson will stick in my head this time ‍😅

Then a few hours designing, I'll start getting into it and think: "OMG THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER WHY DIDN'T I JUST SIT DOWN AND DO THIS EARLIER" It's almost always just taking the time to explore a few options… after which, the answer becomes obvious.

This is especially bad when working on something like ~10hrs a week. A month will pass and I'll unconsciously fiddle with programming stuff, not addressing design decisions. When I FINALLY realize I need to sit down something, I feel anxious starting… like I'm wasting my time not programming?

Jonah Warren @playfulsystems.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

The most challenging part of being a solo dev for me is knowing when to switch gears. I get on these dumb kicks where I think: I need to get this done… I need sit down and program it! 💪 But! There's often some design ambiguity. So I just ignore those parts and do other things. #gamedev #indiegame

Watched Lord of the Rings and was guarding one daughter from the Eye of Sauron as she got something downstairs. Asked the other how I would defeat the Eye of Sauron. She said: "with your sigh of disappointment." I do not wield it lightly
