this reddit thread reminds me of a chinese pothead I used to hang out with in college. I was a shitty music producer back then making terrible beats but this kid was freestyling raps like a natural talent. I wonder what he's up to now.

Working on a big personal project is fun but then you blink and it's already been a year, this stuff takes forever!! it's exciting putting a lot of effort into something original though :)

i really liked that the movie Didi put in a bunch of homophobic slurs that even the asian characters used. it reminded me of how offensive that time period was

i feel like cult leaders usually start with martyrdom. they paint themselves a victim. maybe a victim of the state, of the media, of Something. i actually think a majority of human beings Are empathetic, and this martyrdom takes advantage of that empathy. idk how but i want this to be in my game.

lastseenonline.com redid the last seen online official website, added some Last Seen Online 2 previews. it's hosted on nekoweb! possibly there is an ARG hiding within the website....

@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.

The main idea I've been repeating in my head for this game has been, "the internet is not real."

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
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.

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 03/03/2025
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.

i have lied to you, just calling .sync() will cause it to work!! ok super excited

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
nvm it does not pause in the way I thought it would :(

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
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.

hen @qwook.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
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.

Tone.js not playing audio on iOS
I have an application that uses Tone.js, and I use the GrainPlayer object specifically. It works perfectly fine on different browsers across different OS and devices... except for iOS. I personally...

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

I finally did it. Made the first file for my newest game "The Colors of Emotions." Fuck. It's going to be my first paid-for game. I'm going to go through a lot of learning from this.

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
