watched a julia sesame street episode. i knew nothing about her but clocked she was autistic (just like me fr) and thought it was handled really well

i'll have to wrap this up here as I'm busy this weekend and need to spend all of monday in an immigration office playable in browser: tayl1r.itch.io/marisas-star... words: www.patreon.com/AlexanderTay... #FallingBlockJam

starting to look more like a game and less like neo gliding through the matrix #FallingBlockJam

still need to do some more block types but this is the last with a touhou character. if i have time i'll change her pigtail because i don't think it looks right. actually enjoyed doing this a lot!

you're absolutely correct. i should change the bow and i have.

put in trash and the last "spell card." hopefully i can leave the gameplay code alone for a bit and focus on making it not look like rogue having a stroke

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 21/09/2026

off to bed now, but cpu is in (just does move with the most matches). need to calculate trash and then it is, unfortunately, art time. also need a wrapper for selecting controls or whatever, but i'll phone that in last minute. #FallingBlockJam

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 21/09/2026

apparently you have to turn this on first

$_gameActions = new(); _gameActions.devices = new[] { inputDevice }; _gameActions.Enable(); // I lost half an hour to this$

no cpu opponent yet but do have multiplayer working on keyboard / gamepad.

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 21/09/2026

mechanically it's almost there. biggest thing left is i want a cpu opponent... oh wait, yeah. and art. #FallingBlockJam

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 20/09/2026

it's all happening in the debug atm #FallingBlockJam

this method suggests a much cooler game than the one i am actually making #FallingBlockJam

A C# method (that returns a list of lists, don't judge me it's a game jam) called ScanForSandwich

the clunky term AAA didn't materialize from the aether. it's from wanker bankers and it means a safe and reliable bet. it's not going to be where we see risk taking or innovation by, like, definition

The crux of what he's saying is understandable; I think it would be fair to say there's very little risk-taking or envelope-pushing in the most big budget games.

if all else fails i can just submit my source code. #FallingBlockJam

still messing around! i like this one enough that i might actually make some placeholder art instead of debug dumping the grid each frame.

since we're talking about fun 9/11 facts, dream theater released this on the day and recalled it

playing around with this a bit more. trying to make it feel more like a ttrpg battle mat where it's placing and moving tokens around. for now i've removed the line of sight tiles and the player keeps vision.

not super happy with this, but i'm not entirely sure if i'll need it anyway. don't think i've ever had to draw vision onto a ttrpg mat before.

still just playing around with stuff and having fun

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 15/08/2026

yeah, i have been thinking about making something more skill based. i did have a project yonks ago which was a deckbuilder that used the puzzle & dragons match mechanic. but i stopped working on it... i think mostly because the resolution was 256x144

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 12/08/2026

got the basics of the basics working. no player input yet

oops, there is a bug because i assumed if you swapped two gems horizontally a match could only happen vertically (and vice versa). no idea why i thought that. bodes well? surprised how many matches you can get. ex: here over half the grid can be used. (appreciate this is hard to parse)

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 11/08/2026

playing with match grids again. squinting at this like it's a magic eye picture. (if you see a switch that's invalid it might be because this allows 2x2 squares)

i've released the sys:tan restore demo on steam. so you can play it there. store.steampowered.com/app/5001670/... the browser demo and full release versions are still available on itch. tayl1r.itch.io/systan-restore

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 24/07/2026

made a little trailer for sys:tan restore. it's playable here: tayl1r.itch.io/systan-restore or you can wait for steam i guesssss: store.steampowered.com/app/3850750/...

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 22/07/2026

did a little self-search and ai really is the worst. fwiw there is actually no crit in this game. i think crits can be interesting but not when you're doing dozens of hits a second

Taylor 👻 @tayl1r.itch.io · 22/07/2026

i made a new game! it's an incremental shape blaster called sys:tan restore and the demo is playable in browser. tayl1r.itch.io/systan-restore
