I'm still transitioning away from posting on this site, but over on Bsky I've posted roughly a minute of Tonfa gameplay-- She's got AI now and it's kind of terrifying!

Hello. Nothing major to share for today, but just a reminder that I'm looking to branch out to social media other than this one. Given that twitter has just updated their TOS to state that they're going to train AIs on every post, I am likely going to slow or stop updates here.๐ฆ

More Building QoL for Settlemoon!
If there's a bunch of small things blocking your way, placing the building there will remove all of them, while still picking up the closest one. You can put all that junk back later.

UI is still a work in progress, but check this out. Town renovator!
You'll be able to save and load entire town layouts with this.

NaN propagation is my favorite part of these modern temporal effects. so cool watching a visual bug creep around the screen and sort of exist in the world, someone should do this on purpose in a game

Trying out some UI improvements for Settlemoon. Now you'll be able to see exactly how much decorations are improving a building!

I keep seeing this and while I agree with the sentiment (yes easy modes, yes accessibility), I disagree with the blanket claim that "video games are supposed to be fun and relaxing, not stressful"
Video games are art and art is supposed to invoke whatever emotion it intends to.

A game dev is just a gamer who is crazy enough to make the games they want to play but don't exist yet.

Consider this an early #screenshotsaturday for the week! And you'll want to actually turn on the audio for this one! Fwiffy's the fighter that's generally the closest to where I want her to be right now, so her music has come first. It changes with what's going on in the fight!

ok here's my gamedev take: the true challenge is making a keybinds menu.
- it's important
- it's not exciting to show off
- it's complicated & needs a lot of UI design
- it affects everything else in the game
if you finish your keybinds menu, your game is in Go Mode
