Okay lovely internet people, I'm trying out VGen. Part of that is getting an artist code through the support of my community. So if you like that idea (like and/or RT this post) and want to follow me over there, do the thing! ▶️ vgen.co/FireCatRich #VGenCode #art

After every workday you vote with your co-workers to decide which contract to take for the next day. Each contract is pitched by a birdrep from a birdcompany. Hopefully Bill isn't too mad I didn't pick his contract 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

Just finished implementing the new Double case-type where you have to finish two drawings in a short period of time. This one feels pretty tense!😅 Making it worth more birdbucks should hopefully balance out the difficulty? #gamedev #indiegames

What the actual fuck

Added a bunch of new contextual cursor stuff today. Now it updates if you hover over certain interactable items. Really feel like it'll make certain aspects of the interactions in the game easier to understand. #indiegames #gamedev

Now that you mention it, the refactor is, in fact, going quite well! Thanks for asking!

Lobby stuff is so complicated! Trying to update the game-start logic to be based on players readying up. Kind of assumed this might not be a huge deal, but there's so many small annoying edge cases to think about..🫠 Hopefully will have this working tomorrow. #indiegames #gamedev

The bird card conveyor belt in the lobby loops back from bottom to top now (& the scroll is less funky). Managed to knock this out in like an hour which felt kind of validating. (: #indiegames #gamedev

I flailed at networking code for several years. Only just now it occurred to me to look up how some of these things are supposed to be done. Good news? I did things the way I was supposed to. Bad news? I could have learned how to do it without as much flailing. 😴

I've been told googly eyes make everything better? Now you can place them on your friends' drawings in Chicken Scratch! What could go wrong? #indiegames #gamedev

A series of profoundly unsexy but necessary things are currently in the queue for the game. Video settings stuff has been something I've been needing to do for ages so it's nice to get that off the checklist. #indiegames #gamedev

security of the building after a fire alarm: "😡 ATTENTION!!! THERE! IS NO REASON TO PANIC!!! 😡" my guy, screaming that at us is, in fact, not helping.

had a full todo list prepped for today - I finished doing some marking as the first item and then stared into the abyss for most of the rest of the day 🫠
