So it doesn't look like I'll be streaming anytime soon. Kinda sucks, but hopefully I'll be able to change that soon.

I've finally reached the home stretch for the system in this game, but I just finished one of my tasks and I have an appointment in 15 minutes, so now I'm in Waiting Mode. Really hoping things go smoothly so that I can get back to work. #SoloGameJam

Scope creep is a helluva drug. I'm sitting here trying to warm up while I figure out how to tackle a bit of code, and suddenly I'm thinking of how I would have to completely change a totally different system in order to add a new feature to the game. Ha! Not today, tricksy Fae! #SoloGameJam

I am awake and freezing, but I have seven major tasks to complete on this game. Then it's content creation and making it pretty. Let's get to work. #SoloGameJam #IndieDev #SoloDev

I'm going to extend my #SoloGameJam because I can and I want to. I only have a few more things to code, then it's UI work and content creation. And I really want to playtest this game at least once. If all goes well, I may even stream while I work on it tomorrow night. Fingies crossed! #GameDev

I'm almost done with the core of this game. I ended up skipping the content creation portion in hopes of getting all of the systems in place. But I still need to make things move and actually put in most of the actual UI. And I only have seven hours left... #SoloGameJam

Apparently the answer is, Yes. Yes, it will. Go figure.

A question for my fellow #Godot users: If I create an instance of a class and populate its values, but then change the instance to a class that inherits from that original class, would that clear all of the values? #GameDev

Just realized that if I actually stick with the premise of this game, I can cut my workload down by a full metric shit-ton. Noice! Gonna take a break for lunch and brainstorm some abilities and boons. #SoloGameJam

Using Notion in Offline Mode is... really fucking frustrating. On a completely unrelated note, I don't think I'm going to come up with 160 different abilities and boons today. So I may have to rethink some things. #SoloGameJam

I've gotten five hours of coding in this morning, but pretty soon I'm going to have to stop and starting drafting abilities so that I can run the game and check for bugs. Maybe then I can start implementing player input and actually have a game. #SoloGameJam #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #IndieGames

Had a slow start and some interruptions, but I've gotten a good amount done on my little project. I'm digging the concept, and really hoping that I can actually pull it off. #SoloGameJam #GameDev

I've read way too many manhwas... but I finally have a game idea. Let the jamming begin. #GameDev #SoloGameJam

I've figured out my theme (finally): UI only. But not an idle or clicker game. Let's see what I can come up with. #GameDev

About to hold my own little two-day game jam this weekend. I just need a theme and coffee. #GameDev

I laughed way too hard at this.

I've decided to take the weekend to relax and let my subconscious figure out what to do about Taroche. Meanwhile, I shall be coming up with random systems and solutions and writing a bunch of code. Because weirdly enough, it relaxes me. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

Anyone else have an idea for a game that they would love to make, but won't actually do it? For me, the amount of writing involved keeps me from starting my dream game (which is both sad and hilarious). #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

Oh, boy. The way I am going to abuse this feature. Yes, I will make icons solely to use for this very purpose.

I made new board pieces and put them in the game, and I still hate them. So I'm going to take a break before I rage-quit and punch something. Yes, I know I'm being way too hard on myself. I'm an eldest gifted student. Perfection is kind of mandatory. #GameDev #SoloDev

I think I might be onto something... Or I could just be delirious from sleep deprivation. Gonna sleep on it and see how I feel in the afternoon. #GameDev

I've decided that the next game I make will be all systems and UI. It'll be interesting to see what that ended up looking like.

I'm just going to accept the fact that my board tokens are too small for the character portraits to look good on them. So I'm going with shapes instead. I really hope this works, because I am at my wit's end. #GameDev

I finally figured out how to do the thing that I wanted to do with my board tokens. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be readable on the actual board. But it still looks cool. Might use it for the main menu. #GameDev #Blender #SoloDev

I'm going to finish the character drawings, change the colors and make a few more tweaks, but I like this a lot better. And once I add sound effects... I'm getting excited again. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #SoloDev #Godot

Tried out the idea I had for my board tokens. While I did figure out how to scale and transform a texture in the Shader Editor, I also discovered that my idea was shit. Back to the drawing board.

So close, yet so far, and I'm starting to get annoyed. Both with the game and myself. Might as well finish it so that I can move on. #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev

I have been reminded that I still need to create a tutorial for my card game. But, do I? Really?

Currently trying to decide between 2D and 3D for my next game, and I think my brain just settled on... pixel art? And now that I've envisioned it, I can't unsee it. Oh, boy. #GameDev

I wish I could save or bookmark text posts on this app. No, I'm not calling them that. That word has a very different meaning to me.

I have to redesign and redraw all of my characters, and refactor all of my character animations. But then I just learned the there will be typed dictionaries in GDScript in Godot 4.4. I can go to sleep happy. #GameDev

Oh, boy! I know how I'll be procrastinating from now on. I shall document everything! But seriously, I do want to get into the habit of actually documenting my code instead of just using comments to talk to myself.
