I think my track for the first MuWee birthday celebration was the one I had the most fun making. It was a silly piece that I made almost entirely with my mouth and post-processing. 😅 soundcloud.com/brandon-writ...

You want to be anti ai? Then support people working without it, share their efforts and help them get seen and let them know you enjoy their efforts.

I need a little diversion so I'm joining in the second fishing game jam (a little late). I'm hopig to prototype a little idea I've been bouncing around in the background recently. Some vibes, some magic??, and LOTS of fishing.

The majority of my itch games are bitsy projects of various sizes. It is wonderful seeing bitsy turn 10 and bittersweet seeing the jams come to an end. Thanks for the lovely tool and ten years of jams!

I was raised on these streets

A first person view from behind the wheel of a car in the 1997 classic video game Lego Island. Two lego hands grip the steering wheel. The car is driving down a road facing an ocean with cliffs to both the left and the right. The road Ts ahead. A small peninsula is visible in the distance.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

Praise be! And all hail max width properties! Seriously, supporting Steam Deck up through ultrawides in UI heavy games was rough previously. This feature will save a lot of time. Looking forward to 4.7! #Godot

My week has been more busy than I'd hoped, but I'm making some decent progress on this jam game. I got some jiggly burger physics implemented on "fishing" bait. #GoneFishingGameJam

Just spent more time than I'd like to admit debugging why my Godot game would not close properly. Turns out there's currently a bug with accessing lambdas in static methods or autoloads. The one time I break my "no lambdas" rule... 🙃

Tried a web build of a little side project in Godot 4 and... yikes. I know web builds get more eyes/plays on itch, but this would probably drive more people away than it would attract.

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

My setup is not as music-focused as I'd like at the moment. Its more tuned for code and art.

A black standing desk hangs on a cream wall between two tall but slender enclosed shelves. The shelves contain an array of trinkets. On the top shelf of each tower sits a black rectangular audio monitor with a large speaker cone in the center. An ultra wide computer monitor hangs above the desk.
