Oops!

#Nintendo, if you have time for this, you have time for Mario Maker 3! 😅

Take a beat and relax, everything is going to be fine.

In case this needs heard: You're allowed to choose what energy you keep around you. It's okay to define your boundaries. Sometimes we need to spring clean the noise from our lives.

I want to start a #MadeWithMeat certification program for AI-Free products.

My super power is unchecked ADHD and my weakness is grass.

Sometimes we get caught in a while() loop in life. Break; out of it.

#MTG is cracked, lol. I love it.

#Gamedev tips: Write bad code on purpose! - Breaks you out of paralysis - Introduces new problem solving - Promotes creative exploration - Reveals hidden patterns/utility Give your brain some new snacks once a week to keep it happy!

Good morning starshine, the Earth says hello!

Most games are just Cookie Clicker with extra steps.

#CSS #HTML #DEV

Our time here is constantly spent and can never be replaced; it is without a doubt our most valuable resource. Consider who and what you spend yours on. #FoodForThought

In addition to this, I know it can feel like our motivations are constantly changing directions so... my advice: Set specific days to work on serious things, but always include a day (or two) in the week to work on... whatever. Let your imagination guide you. It helps, a lot!

As a #Gamedev you shouldn't feel bad about having multiple projects but you shouldn't lie to yourself about what they are. It's in our nature to create/experiment, so don't get down on yourself for doing it, learning and making is what drives us!

It is... weird times. I like to stay grounded by appreciating the things I like and the people I love. I think about how big and old the universe is and how cosmic forces eventually aligned in a way that I can sit here and experience it, the bad and the good. Stay strong, friends. ❤️

I too once made a dashboard grid userstyle for @itch.io, but it is a little different. Been available in my GH repo for a couple years, and I've now put it up on USW too: userstyles.world/style/20785/...

Me during the superbowl:

My real name is Sky. Names that Chik-Fil-A has called me: Scott Skylar Stan Thai Guy

Looking forward to the Eagels and Chefs! #Superbowl

So the Girl Scouts don't have cookies on hand anymore? The girls outside my grocery store had a menu and a QR code for purchase and delivery.

Ok I am not gonna lie, I didn't have Federal Christian Task-force on my bingo card for 2025. 🫤

3 days away from eating ridiculous amounts of finger foods. #SuperBowl #LIX

We should go back to this system for game activations.

Post a gif of a fictional death that devastated you.

"Should I get a Steamdeck or a Switch 2?" Steamdeck doesn't have Mario. The answer is obvious.

Wonderful news. The creative community here is nostalgic of early social media and I love it.

I'm so old I gotta stretch before eating breakfast.

I've not had my villain arc in life yet... ....I wonder what it will be.

Sonic 3 was good but also bad. I don't mind cheesy movies but they are pushing the limit now. Also, Shadow was horrible underused. Hope 4 takes itself a smidge more seriously!

This morning I spelled "sprite" as "spright." I will never live down this shame.

The next #MiniJam is in 7 days and I am so excited for PAPERCRAFT! itch.io/jam/mini-jam...

Taiketsu update: + Core overhaul and refactoring finished + Added deck manager + Added card database + Added Taiketsu system + V3 overhaul of game board Lots to do but moving along nice! #Gamedev #GameMaker

Some more refinement on the card layout. #Gamedev

I kinda fell in love with my last game jam entry and I want to expand on it. This week I've overhauled the entire game loop into a more micro-tcg experience, as I design that I am also updating the card, supporting info with minimalism still in mind. More to show soon! #Gamedev

Sometimes in #Gamedev I know things are wrong but I do it that way anyway and then revert back because I know my brain won't stop nagging me if I don't.

I have a strong suspicion that housing prices will skyrocket during the apocalypse.

Post jam thoughts: + Original idea was Blackjack inspired, get to 21. This became too challenging. I think last minute changes to this created 'too easy' of a loop. I would revisit this. + The aesthetic was my first attempt, very pleased. + Game needs depth, 72 hours is tough! #Gamedev

#MiniJam is over and Kitsufuda is submitted! You can play in your browser on Itchio: skychi.itch.io/kitsufuda That was a fun 72 hours! 2 jams down, 28 to go! #Gamedev #GameMaker

#MiniJam update: + Revamped win condition. Highest number wins. 21 was too challenging. This is less cognitive load. + Added coin mechanic for jam. Chance to invert a card's value! Useful for strategy. + More polish, more audio. 2 hours to go! #Gamedev #GameMaker
