#screenshotsaturday er, friday evening. These guys all procedurally generated! texturing needs some love, but making fun progress. Some of the glitchiness on the texturing adds charm, I may leave it. #indiedev #procgen #pocketsky #gamedev

i'm working on house maintenance right now. iff you have a hole in your wall, it's pretty high priority. but if it's just a less than perfect wall, that's not as urgent.

update on path reinforcement + building repair. the occupied buildings (bright red X) usually get to repairs pretty quickly, but sometimes they have a hole or two (which one may assume is covered with a cloth or wicker or similar).

My first computer capable of games was a second-hand Tandy 1000, came with Kings Quest 1 on 4 floppies. KQ1 hooked me and my brothers, and some of my friends. We drew maps and played through it many many times. This was THE game that made me want to escape into computer games forever.

Does anyone else here feel lonely on like an excruciatingly fundamental level, can't find your people to hang with in person? I mean, I have a wife and kids but I'm talking about close friends. shouldn't have to dumb down who I am to find a community.. feels like the only mens groups are churches

Did you miss it? I sure hope not; I released a new game last night which I made in QBASIC, based on VERY alternate rules I came up with to "Scrabble" back as a kid, along with an ADG filler video talking about it all! :D

My #pico1k #pico8 attempt is becoming a sort of 'make a little garden' game. You need to periodically harvest something to keep playing, but the enemies had to go due to lack of bytes.
