  • Somebody made a browser-based single-player gacha game using RPG Maker on itch.io and I can't remember where it was. I forgot to make a bookmark at the time and it was late at night.
    When testing out tracks, I don't like grainy sounds because I imagine playing a game with the track while having a headache, and grainy sounds might make the headache feel worse.
    The change to Twitter verification will affect commercial game dev marketing since the algorithms will soon prioritize blue checks over non-checks, and Twitter can't really be dumped if aiming for success due to how much of a share of global reach it has and the fact that reach can't be magically transferred.

    @TheMeowingFox The key thing is that being prioritized was never a free thing. It used to be getting the Blue Check mark was quite expensive and difficult. So really at least advertising wise, this is a win for the little guys. The site's still free either way, so largely it didn't change for 99.99% of users.

    The blue checkmark was formerly a form of verification, though. While I may not know how it used to work since I don't use Twitter, what you described isn't quite what it was for.

    And yes, I think having to pay to have a voice on Twitter or you get shadowbanned, is considerably worse than what it once was. And I expect that many people want to use the site for free, without being suppressed by an algorithm.

    I did so much walking with Pokemon GO that my foot started aching in a hurt way, so I took a day off from my daily exercise routine to heal. This feels like the opposite of what people need to watch out for while working on their games. Remember to touch grass once in a while because staying in good health will also be good for your game's development.

    Pokemon Go is so much fun. It helps me getting outside even on those nasty days where you just don't want to leave the house at all.
    YASSS Visustella finally put out the MZ map camera plugin I've been waiting for. Back in MV, I was fiddling with SumRndmDde's Camera Core plugin with essentially the same functions. Camera control makes a big difference in RPG visual storytelling imo.
    Today I got to see some behind-the-scenes clips explaining UFOTable's animation techniques in Demon Slayer. The ways that they used layers to put together scenes have given me some insight into how to approach some ideas for a potential animated opening for my game.
    FF Opera Omnia is in quite a bizarre state right now. As soon as the tutorial is completed, the game levels all characters to level 70 and makes all new characters start at level 70.
    I started trying out FF Opera Omnia because they offered enough freebie loot for essentially four big gacha pulls.

    The story is light but the fan service is the game's main attraction.
    Ugh I don't think I'm going to be able to make the IGMC deadline while trying to make deadlines for my work projects. If this were in December it would have been so much easier for me to fit in time. I hope they hold another one next year.

    I couldn't come up with an idea so I had to skip out because it's something I wanted to do since I started game dev in 2019.

    You can still offer a demo of your project if that's possible. I see alot of devs are considering that possibly due to how tight the deadline is.

    You can post what you got for feedback still.
    I just got Romancing Saga 2 and 3, and Saga Scarlet Grace Ambitions on App Store sale. I wish App Store labeled its apps' discounted prices like Steam does because I discovered this discount by accident - none of my SE mails told me about this sale. This also goes to show how important marketing is for people to even know one's game is on sale or even available.

    I've got RSaga 2 & 3 on the Xbox. Haven't had chance to get into them yet, but looking forward to them! It's the same with Android - I have to go manually down my wishlist to see if Kairosoft ever decide to put anything on sale :p

    Those games are also on sale on the PS Store. Guess it's across platforms.
    I'm starting to wonder if I'll actually have time to finish my IGMC entry with the work I need to do for other things this year. Rather than 2 hours, maybe just twenty minutes like a demo project...
    So a big bug that was on a glue trap at home is now magically not on the glue trap. This feeling of terror I'm experiencing could be a fun thing to put in my game project (not the IGMC one).

    I can already picture the image as a slasher movie sequence.
    -glance over at the trap, bug still there, character keeps walking.
    -cut to different angle, character minding their own business.
    -cut back to previous shot, reverse angle, trap unseen.
    -character looks over, camera follows, frames the trap... empty.
    -DUNNNNN!

    I honestly read that not as insect-bug, but software-bug the first time and was quite confused how on earth a glue trap could have one of those :rswt
    I now have an idea of how to approach my IGMC entry for this year's theme, as well as a working title (TBA). Given the limited time I can spare, I'm going with a game design that doesn't require a battle system. Something that could be expanded if I want to make it a longer game, but can probably be played through within 2 hours (the goal for now), at least on a speed run.
    Steam wishlists are back! Time to see which bookmarks have reached my personal discount thresholds.

Shower Thoughts: ". . . Scammers would be OP in the Elder Scrolls. They could just get speech 100 and blatantly ask everyone for all of their money, and everyone would think it's a great investment. And then after being robbed blind, they'd say, with a smile on their face, 'need something?' "
Day #2 for advent is compiled. Please, go to their threads to share love! But, if you wanna talk to me…what’s your favorite Christmas carol or holiday song?
