"You can tell its a bunch of miniatures and suits" yeah, I can also tell when a Hollywood movie is 99% CGI, and they don't look nearly as cool as this! The choreography, weight, miniatures blowing up, real explosions/fire, suits showing real damage 👌 Where's my Gundam show in this style, bandai??

WHAT DO YOU MEAN Avowed by @obsidian.net has "Dialogue history & lore" available for you when you talk to other characters! 😭 I screamed when I saw it! Cognitive accessibility is so often forgotten, but here it is, so simple and yet so impactful for gamers like me🖤

This game jam project was so silly 🫧🐿️🫧 You play as a chipmunk who was raised by lesbian sugar gliders who tease him about not being able to glide... that is, until you learn to harness the buoyant powers of bubble gum as movement tech >:D I implemented character animations & NPC/quest logic 🎮

The dichotomy of problem solving as a #gamedev 🤣 Tuesday: The feature I implemented today was fun and rewarding! I want to start the next task instead of going to bed! Thursday: An apparently-known-bugged Unreal feature broke our nav system so now I'm doing surgery on the source control. Free me..
