LOVE the concept of doing really elaborate and precise baked light in unity but the actual process of doing it just means I’ll waste like four hours accomplishing what I already had

I’ve spent basically all weekend building onto my Lucy’s Dream Journal mechanic and have been having too much fun with the dialogue #indiedev #indiehorror

Obviously like half of all artists on earth are inspired by David Lynch in some way but still I cannot express how dramatically his work affects me 🌲🌲🌲🌲

I checked BYTE’s Steam data for the first time in a month and apparently it just recently hit 300 wishlists and the demo has been added to 1000 people’s libraries! For a lot of reasons, I don’t look at that data often and am not very active in promoting BYTE so it’s fun to see that number go up

I did not play many new releases in 2024 but here’s how I’d rank the games I did play: 1. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 2. 1000xResist 3. Persona 3 Reload 4. Metaphor: ReFantazio 5. Phoenix Springs I loved all of these games very much so the competition was tough here

Took a break from anything I needed to work on to mess around with a city street grid creation tool I’ve wanted to make for a while. I got it to generate the roads as one mesh with seamless texturing and I’m very happy with it #indiedev

I love the yakuza games with all my soul they’re my favorite games and my passion but I think yakuza 4 might seriously be the worst video game I’ve ever played

I’m back in Portland for the holidays so BYTE work has been slow but I’m adding more cinematics into the game. By the end of it BYTE will feel exactly like watching a movie 🎥🎥🎥 #indiedev #indiehorror

I’m generally pretty neutral about the game awards but them rolling out twenty one pilots followed by hideo Kojima followed by TWO(!!!!!!!) RGG game announcements did immeasurable psychic damage to me specifically
