Was just thinking of games that should be rereleased, and I honestly feel like we need a rerelease of MJ the Experience. I loved it on the Wii, but then they released it with more songs for the Playstation version.

Gonna be honest, been playing more games than making any. Just got the reservoir drained in Blue Prince. Had to do it twice because of something I want to check out(not spoiling what). Aiming to check it out after dinner. Excited to see where this goes.

Finally made it back to room 46 again. Proud of that. Still trying to get the boiler room and the lab near each other. Same with the sledge hammer. I never get it with both the broken lever and the battery pack in the same day.

Look, I know math isn’t my strong suit. But I finally hit a Billiard Room puzzle where my math is mathing but the board says it isn’t. Is this one of those moments where visually I’m missing something due to my mild blue colorblindness? Is the game gaslighting me? What am I missing? 🙃

Been doing some bts work and planning some things out for the channel. I haven't forgotten about it. I just haven't been focusing on it as much as I should

Even with the base version of the track that still has some dead air in it, the difference a menu has once you add music to it is crazy. Even for a basic menu screen, it feels legit once you add music. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

While I'm reworking some ideas to simplify the sci-fi game I was working on, I've decided which track is the main menu music, so that's a plus. I just need to trim the track a bit because it has a little bit at the end where there's no music for some reason.

It's been a bit since I worked on my sci-fi game, but I finally started moving some of the tracks I made in Garageband to my Google Drive from my ipad. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I decided to pick the game back up again and I did it! I beat Blue Prince! I an shaking right now. I made sure to have two different entrances to the antechamber set before opening one. I an having a moment. The relief and vindication after being one room off last time #gaming

Gonna be honest, decided to take a break from Blue Prince after going through all of the stages of grief in that last run where I was one room away and didn’t have any gems so I couldn’t get the one room that would’ve won me the game. I was literally so close to winning.

I need a cool down game or something after that. I was so close. I got the antechamber and the door for room 46 to open. It was just that last room. And between my bad luck on gems and the rng. The odds were definitely not in my favor.

That’s it, I’m done for the night. I got a taste of victory and the rng screwed me over 💀💀💀 I was so close!!! It was right there! I almost beat the game

Well…guess who got close to potentially beating Blue Prince and got stuck between boxes in the basement 🙃💀 I’m not saying it was me…but I think you can guess who it was

Very very excited about the progress I made in Blue Prince today. I got the basement key again and managed to get to the foundation and set up a coat check with just enough steps left. Getting those reroll dice saved my butt there. I’m so close now! I can feel it!

While I’m thinking of the billiards room math puzzle, I wanted to take a picture of it to test something out. I found myself missing the purple for division. I had a theory, since I sometimes struggle with color when things are similar tones. So I took a pic to see if it maybe blended. And it does

Deleted my last post because I was so excited about getting to the antechamber I called it room 46. Pretty sure that’s not room 46. But I got one of the basement doors unlocked and I’m very proud of myself for that.

I honestly feel amazing right now. I unlocked so much in Blue Prince today. Also, not sure how I feel about the math puzzle in the billiards room adding square roots to it. 😅 At least it’s not as many math problems when it does that.

Letting myself relax today because it’s my birthday! It’s always weird when birthdays hit because I already want to call myself the new age like a month before. Happy 33rd birthday to me! Pretty sure I’m allowed to nap all day today.

I’m proud of myself. I unlocked so much in Blue Prince today. But now I’ve gotten into the chess puzzle…I was missing two pieces from my floorplan…🙃

Blue Prince is literally the only time I’ve been willing to put up with math problems 😅 Still would be fun to actually play darts in the game though.

While I didn't decide to do the quick game for my birthday week, I think I will let myself take my time on "Look Out!" and shift my focus to a smaller easier to put together game. Keep it as simple as I can.

Update, I didn't go through with the quick birthday week game. Too much to do on top of other things. I need to really work out my project priorities. Might need to temporarily shelve some things to get some others finished.

Today got off to a bad start. Treating it as a sick day. Still not completely sure what caused the issue, but it’s slowly easing up. No project work today. Just rest.

Been playing Blue Prince and got the Dark Room to stay lit and can we talk about Herbert’s selfie game? Also, there is so much story wise I’m getting more excited about finding. That scrapbook in the archives. And the feeling when you open one of the antechamber doors. It’s all I’ve been playing

I know I’m already working on a small handful of games, but I’m tempted to throw together a very quick game. Maybe as a little early birthday treat to myself like “happy birthday to me, I did a thing!” I mean, I’ve got till May 6th. So why not?

Even when I’m taking a break I’m thinking of how different mechanics in my games can work.

Decided to go back through my notebook and what I wrote down for my own games and I'm amazed I even know what I'm writing anymore. My handwriting looks like shorthand at this point. Words? What are those? It's all squiggles in the vague form of letters. There might also be a mix of script in there

Been taking a break from game making and playing more games instead lately. Started playing Blue Prince and I'm a sucker for games like that. The excitement when I found the archive and read more of the story the other night. I am absolutely in love with this game. Also, yes, I am taking notes.

Getting back into New Horizons and one of my villagers gave me a gift because she was happy that I stopped by. I went from “awe that’s so cute of her to do” to “oh…that’s not cute at all” real quick. She gave me a cast. 🙃 I get it, I haven’t played in a while. #animalcrossing #acnh

Charged up my Switch Lite for the first time in a hot minute and I forgot how much I screwed up the left stick. 😅 What? I press hard on the controls when I panic in games...and I may have busted the left stick to the point where walking up in any game isn't easy. Gotta charge my controller now

Note to self: I need to treat the weekends more like weekends. I was out yesterday with my family and today I think I just need to recoop. I’m like a house cat, I don’t venture out often. I need to recharge after trips out. I’ll at least finish doing some line work I started today and then rest

Not me thinking adding window shutters to the exteriors could add a sense of depth and help draw the eye in more on the window…only to realize for the wide shots of the house I now have to draw a handful of tiny shutters. I only have myself to blame here lol

Starting to put together the game art. It’s time to make a few windows and environments. The windows are the easy part. The other exteriors…I’ll need to debate on whether to add a parallax. #gamedev #solodev

Might be taking a break from posting. I'll still be posting my progress and when I'm working out ideas, but probably not as often. Part of me may be posting as often as I was to stall a bit. I love the games I'm working on, but I might be holding off the parts I'm not looking forward to working on

I'll revisit the inventory theory at a later date. I need to figure out the GDevelop inventory system before I can really try that out, and I'd rather focus on what I need to finish with my main game first.

I might have to test out my theory for an inventory system acting sort of save system in GDevelop. I mean, in theory linking certain levels to certain items, and the quit button to keep those items when closing the game, it should work like a save system in a sense. #gamedevelopment #gamedev
