@neocities.org Not sure how to get in contact with you but I believe that "cdn-sgp-1" is having issues. These websites have an HTTP2 protocol error: skreeonkg.neocities.org tctstudios.neocities.org/nekomatrimony strnkfrt.neocities.org I am located in Vietnam and am having issues with these sites.

My games are about growing up chronically online and the dangers of it. In my newest game I want to talk about the false promises of the internet, unhealthy obsessions with nostalgia, and how movies and internet stories create a false expectation for friendships and love.

Working on decoupling my localization library from Last Seen Online to reuse in And You'll Miss It. Wondering if it's worth it to move to Crowdin.

Addressing tech debt sets me up very well for success in any future games and work! The reason LSO and AYMI were developed so fast is because of the all the preparation work I did before that. Tooling, decision to mono repo, etc.

Did a major refactor this past month to: Animation Sound Settings / Cheats All of this so that I can get the title screen of Last Seen Online to pause correctly hahahaha

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
There is a balance between fixing all the tech debt in my old game vs. just letting it be and moving on that I need to strike. The debt addressed really needs to be something useful for the future. Some things can be left ugly and shoved under the rug.

For pausing, I loop through all of my sounds and call a pause function, but I just discovered that ToneJS has "Transport" which allows you to control the timing of things such as pausing and resuming! My only issue so far is the existence of singletons but I can't fight it.

I'm making a #react component-based sound library for my game engine. It's just wrapping around #ToneJS right now. Simple test but I got a sample to route itself to master. Now for audio busses and effects chaining! I am kind of basing this off of FL Studio's mixer.

Working on moving my game from using Howler.js to ToneJS for game audio. Quite scared of compatibility with iOS and android. Just trying to take advantage of the audio effects. #Javascript

Realized the adjusting settings in my games causes an unnecessary global redraw... Now I have to learn how to use react stores. #GameDev #React

I've been seeing "plus" versions of indie games appear and it is pretty inspiring. Perhaps after my next game I'll devote time and an official team into making "plus" versions.

I am proud to release my newest game, And You'll Miss It. It's 10 minutes long. This game was originally developed for an art gallery pop-up. It's quite a personal story about "time", but remixed and fictionalized. I really hope you enjoy it. qwook.itch.io/and-youll-mi... #gamedev #indiegamedev

today, i thought that all i need to do is add a new image for displaying gamepad controls and then i realized i have to code a brand new layer for gamepad/joystick controls to signal to different parts of the game that a different type of gamepad has been plugged in 5 mins turns into 5 hours

I hosted a party where people can upload their face and get turned into butterflies that float around my apartment building! I didn't anticipate so many butterflies on the screen so it got pretty crowded!!!

my therapist said "art is 60% for you and 40% for other people" and that has really stuck with me. I think there's too much shame towards external validation when it's necessary as social creatures, with the right balance.
