  • Started mapping today! Tell me, friends: is fire companies selling pre-cut Christmas trees a uniquely New England phenomenon? I always thought this was a common thing, but I realized as I made the tree racks that that may in fact not be the case!

    Me: "Ah yes, I have a huge stockpile of resources suitable for this undertaking! I shouldn't have to make very many things."

    Me: -makes 53828589697 new things for this undertaking-

    This keeps happening XD
    I'm not going to recognize my own posts anymore, I've used that same cosplay avatar for years! XD

    But now I have joined the hat trend. (Not pictured: the bell on the hat that jingles when I move.)
    Wassail, wassail all over the town--

    "But Tei, couldn't you have used Mack or Tana's musicians?" Yes, but...

    (Resources from Pandamaru, Avery, PixelArtWorld, and me!)
    SHOULD I join the Christmas game jam? Absolutely not. I absolutely should not, I have so much to do. (That's the same thing I said before we made Inn Need, isn't it?)

    Anyways, here's a pixel version of what I'll look like IRL for the next month, just in case I DO find some dev time:

    Does anyone know of a word processor that has a dark mode? The light in my house isn't great once the sun goes down, and it would nice to not have to stop writing at sunset because the page was too bright to look at even with my screen brightness way down.

    Just in case this is useful info to anyone, LibreOffice also has a dark mode.

    @pawsplay That would be very useful to me, because my work laptop doesn't have Word. Can you tell me where it's hiding, and what version it's in? It's possible that mine needs an update.

    tools, options, personalization. Depending on your version, you might then have to go into Application Colors and pick the LibreOffice Dark scheme.
    Holy crow, we made it. We made a game for IGMC and lived to tell the tale!

    It occurs to me that I should probably include a link to it. Here it is!
    What happened with the contest deadline? It says it's open until midnight PDT, but they closed it at midnight EDT?? I've been working so hard between my mandatory overtime trying to finish mine...I'm really disappointed.

    That would be my fault... sorry about that. I'm not used to doing things in PST, so I mistakenly posted it in EST time. :LZSteary:

    I'm glad you got your entry in! I'm up at 3am anyways ^^
    My boss was Today Years Old when she found out my degree was in game design, and I could feel her respect for me drop like a rock. The absolutely derisive tone in which she asked "there are schools for that?" was knife-like. Been a while since I got a look like that, it hurt. Nobody knows better than me how useless my degree was, boss, I promise.

    That is totally relatable content. How it feels to me: Prospective boss: "Tell me about your education." Me: "I have a graduate degree in creative writing." Boss: "I'm sorry, I meant real education."

    Kind of curious what kind of environment that is. My direct supervisor is literally my (two-years younger than me actually since he started when he was a teenager) mentor at my job and we have a good relationship. He’s actually been pretty chill about my handicap.

    Aren't game dev degrees really hard to get into these days?
    Just when I thought I'd accounted for everything lost in last year's hard drive wipe, two WIPs are missing. Argh. I wish my brain had a ctl+F, I swear I've seen them recently. Wishful thinking? I can work backwards from the flat versions that survived, but it would have been SO EASY if I had the document with layers...

    Save your projects, folks. Save your projects. In several places. Often.

    But never keep them synced up in a dropbox folder.
    Just lost my design doc in a backup accident and I'm absolutely gutted. I'm trying so hard not to feel like "oh well, it wasn't that good of an idea anyways." I don't know what to do. I can't even look at a flash drive without starting to cry, how am I supposed to start rebuilding what I lost like that?

    It's going to take ages to put the credits list back together. What if I can't find them again?

    I also lost a draft doc a few months ago. I put together the plot, some notes, the chatacters and designs and their fantasy names that were hard to come up with. Deleted it with a bulk of other files cause I was careless ;_; For the credits, for images you can use reverse image search. Audio is going to be hard though... Best of luck sorting this out

    Oh no! So sorry to hear that. :(
    Are you using XP resources? If you need help putting credits back together, I can take a look at it.

    Man, that stinks. I'd be upset if I lost my credits file alone. :(
    Just wanted to say: Your Lucius cosplay pic is really neat!

    Is just that good xD I played that fire emblem years ago, one of my favorite units!

    Good luck with that project! cosplaying is such a badass hobby, full respect.

    Because of appearance and art, I often mistaken Lucius for being female.

    You and half the game's cast, haha! I think one of my favorite pieces of Lucius art I've come across to date says "Sometimes hips DO lie."

I've been watching videos about the videogame streamer Open Hand charity scandal, and the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper. At first it was just a lot of donated money being grossly neglected for years, and now there's a lot of money unaccounted for, which could turn this into a legitimate IRS crackdown.
Let's have some fun with my advent calendar. What would you like to see for Day 3: land, sea, or air? :rheh:
I've been thinking about doing a jokey submission for the Christmas jam in which, like a cartoon special where all the characters "play" a counterpart in A Christmas Carol, my MagiCats would each play a role from the C.A. Smith story The Coming of the White Worm, with Cyprian as Evagh, Rousalie as Dooni and so forth. But in the end, I figure all my development efforts should go toward the game proper.
In twitter, square phoenix had successfully prompted chatgpt to make the mini game watermelon pangpang.

drew some stuff to see how frontview might look. not entirely sold on or off of it yet. "could" work, but something feels missing.
