zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 01/10/2026late post but i went to a convention last weekend and bought things ; mainly went for an artist that was selling In Stars and Time stickers so I could buy the whole set now that I'm not larping 030
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 29/09/2026i thought about getting some new headphones since my right ear keeps getting cut out - i wanted to get a different model but after looking, i just got really confused so I ended up getting the same model again 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 28/09/2026i picked up a new game yesterday - Citizen Sleeper. it's been on my backlog a long time and im glad I feel up to playing it - ive been in a strange mood of just playing games in the deepest pits of my backlog instead of drawing or doing gamedev; i feel unproductive (but not enough to stop) 051
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 28/09/2026finished In Stars and Time a few days ago, very fun story & lovable cast - Arc 2-5 had me hooked, 5 was a great payoff; I will say the looping gameplay by the end of Arc 4 was driving me insane, which I guess is how they want you to feel - but I wish it wasn't conveyed at the player's expense 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 28/09/2026wish I could go to Pixel Art Park - but I don't have any money; maybe the next one (which is what I told myself the last time) 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 24/09/2026i bought a bell alarm clock 2 weeks ago, it works alot better than using my phone (since I won't start doomscrolling immediately) but i wake up frightened every time and then i have to sit in my chair for a couple minutes with my eyes closed 020
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 17/09/2026finally started playing Outer Wilds yesterday for some reason - it is a real treat when my mind is ready to play something I know is gonna be good and i'm having a lot fun... with the piloting surprisingly; I didn't think I would but this might be first spaceship game I enjoy piloting in 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 15/09/2026what the fuck do you mean SteamDB was acquired by NexusMods - does every good thing eventually turn to shit 020
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 15/09/2026writing things is scary, i never realized how insincere i get when i start writing something that might be seen - always fearing writing something i feel that nobody else might. hope i can work on that 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Wooo, I got a ticket to watch Mass of The Fermenting Dregs in November - didn't think I'd get it, thought it sold out 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Irrationally pissed off rn - this one Project Hail Mary comic where Rocky gets bummed out that Grace dies and ends with him just sitting on the fake beach, I can't find it anywhere - I wanted to reread it ; I hope I never delete art I make because this feeling sucks 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Haul photo from when I went to Animangaki, I considered tagging the artists on my story - but I gave up on that as a method to connect with artists, I just feel like a consumer instead of a potential peer when I do that now 030
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 01/09/2026False Memory episode 7 - wow. Wow. What a fucking show. Living to this day was worth it just to watch this show. 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 30/08/2026deadlock clips on instagram calling me back to the game like the green goblin mask - i ain't gonna do it no matter how goddamn good it looks to play, i don't wanna turn into the goblin 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 24/08/2026False Memory EP 6 was beyond words - i'm tearing up and i dont even really know why in the first half, then the 2nd half is just nuts - speechless at how cool it all was 030
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 21/08/2026man i actually had so much fun with my game this morning - tweaked the light puck some more; gonna work on adding a teleport swap mechanic with the sword - that's gonna be probably a strong mobility tool & defensive/offensive option and then enemies - not a clue on how to design those 162
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 19/08/2026stole the light puck mechanic from TWEWY DS because I noticed testers didn't feel compelled to use the sword and player more effectively when I had some people play it one time 030
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 18/08/2026watched false memory EP 5, i teared up a bit so i think the show is starting to ramp up - i really loved Protagonist Halo as a character ; can't wait for EP 6! 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 15/08/2026My little brother's friends came into my room to play with my cats and one of them said my room was cool, and I'm sad my reaction didn't match up with how ecstatic I felt inside 020
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026im on day 7 of drawing - i didn't do it this morning because i overslept but i will do it even if im sick so far, ive just been copying sketches from Yoh Yoshinari's sketchbook - im hoping this will make me like drawing for the sake of drawing if i do this everyday for 30 mins 120
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 12/08/2026watched false memory episode 4, i think alot of it went over my head - i feel like im trying to analyze this show alongside other sources of information so while i watch what's happening on screen, my mind is trying to connect all these pieces - but i still have no clue what's going on 110
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 06/08/2026day 2 of trying to draw for at least 30 mins a day - and the moment i wake up and have to push myself to do it is the hardest minute lets keep going 130
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Does anybody know how I'm supposed to wash this type of plush - I got it from a secondhand store It's called a おやすみぬいぐるみBIG, if that helps 020
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026been trying to draw an auto-attack for sword guy's jab (5A), i was thinking BBCF Naoto's 5AA - but man i suck at drawing so bad, I can't even get the first frame down 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026so to make myself feel better (convenient excuse), I got the Groundwork of FLCL book reprint and Animation Key Frame Arts Of Yutaka Nakamura VOL.1 which I remember wanting to get back when I went to Japan last year all these artbooks and i still don't really draw, man 130
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 03/08/2026past few days haven't been so good - my car got into an accident which sucks, then i puked twice the next day, then i had to deal with some power tripping cop bullshit sorting out my car, and im not sure if my car insurance is gonna come through can't believe im having real life problems 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 02/08/2026watched the first 3 episodes of False Memory, episode 1 writing-wise didn't feel as deep but by episode 3 things are starting to get interesting ; though all around, wonderful animation throughout - total cut above what's coming out right now. i see alot of the creators' personal tastes - im charmed 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 02/08/2026just paid for a bilibili premium membership just so I could watch False Memory on 1080p and they don't have any subs - where they at 100
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 30/07/2026tip of my nose was itchy all night and couldn't figure out why turns out there was a giant nose hair rubbin it the whole time 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 30/07/2026found this chiptune album, Frosty Frolic by Robotprins, this morning and man this is so fire music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...music.youtube.comFrosty FrolicAlbum • Robotprins 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 29/07/2026wanted to look into doing the floor/wall bounce thing that Slave Zero X does - but just realized i haven't been implementing hitstun properly so gonna have to work on that ; no floating sword guy video today -_- 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Was thinking on the car ride back home, I'm gonna try to stop describing games with the phrase "like [other game]" to people, felt it too reductive - even if I do feel that way 001
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 27/07/2026some footage of the game i made with my friend - you're a robot in a dying world ; go talk to some robots & walk around lozerd.itch.io/relicto #gmtk #gamedev 0183
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 24/07/2026i think i've said best of zach 2 about 50 times today also, im doing GMTK with a friend rn so taking a break from sword guy this weekend we're just making a minit-like - i wanted to do a thing with made up languages but i think that's gone from our prototype, oh well 110
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 22/07/2026tweaked the slide since it was a bit off - so it lerps to a stop ; also made you slow down way more when you hit an enemy - also added a neat trick where you can drift to get extra hits or stop faster and the best thing, added a slide+jump cancel tech to get way more speed faster - i love tech!!! 141
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 20/07/2026not done with the jab - but the lunge and spin feels interesting-ish enough for me to make a vid needs more distinguishing sound effects 010
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 17/07/2026im in a dopamine deficit rn with my game - was working on adding steering to the sword, it looks really cool but it might be the buggiest thing ever and i got no idea why some of these bugs even happen when debugging 100
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 15/07/2026added dash, backdash, slide and divekick - state transitions and speeds are off but im hoping they'll be good tools to the kit sword attacks now only go into active frames when you release the sword attack button - so it's negative edge now and it slowly moves to target before release in auto mode 110
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 12/07/2026tried to time slow while dialling (the dialing is really non-obvious rn) but the sword misses alot more because the targetting is inaccurate during time slow also added an experimental behavior to hover over targets in AUTO - not sure if i want this to be the standard, i like sending it from player 110
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 12/07/2026very messy debug footage of me trying to implement a dialing system (which I took from Deadbeat) for the sword attacks (which doesn't work but i just wanted to see how it feels) 160
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Got some feedback - I think they see the potential, I just need to double down on some design decisions 000
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 09/07/2026gonna go to a local indie event tmrw, planning to set up floating sword guy on my laptop - get some of that feedback!! also i started looking into gamepad controls and wow, idk if i made it so now keyboard is the best way to play but man gamepad sucks ; hitbox has potential tho, just need keybinds 030
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 08/07/2026I bought this for FSG action game research but I didn't expect this box to be awesome ; it's a pretty niche Disgaea game, never knew there was an action game spinoff until a few days ago 100
zim @znaxerers.bsky.social · 08/07/2026this song is freakin killer guys My eyes could not believe this track and album was from 2002 music.youtube.com/watch?v=qBdy...music.youtube.comSultans of El SurYouTube video by The Mercury Program - Topic 000
