    Still trying to meet my goal so my partner, cat, and I can keep our heads above water one more month while I sort out the last of my funding options for the game. If you&#39;re able to help out, any amount helps. If not, boosts are also greatly appreciated. 💜 Thanks! https://ko-fi.com/clarusplusplus

    Hey fellow gamedevs: does that feeling of &quot;I&#39;m not a good programmer, I have no clue what I&#39;m doing, this game is going to crash in embarrassing, unforeseen ways on everybody else&#39;s machine&quot; ever go away? This is a serious question. Because I hate that feeling

    I don&#39;t need AI in order to integrate code I don&#39;t understand; I can do that on my own by researching something for two days straight, implementing a solution, and then never needing it again so that by the next time I look at the code, I have no clue what I&#39;m looking at.

    okay, i&#39;ve got the Hadrosaurus Software logo split up into its various visual components for animation, along with a couple of visual effects that I basically just baked into PNGs in Photoshop because I don&#39;t know jack about shaders and can&#39;t be bothered to learn, lol. At any rate, it should be a cool little ident that I&#39;m gonna be putting together tomorrow. If it works the way I&#39;m picturing it in my head, it&#39;ll be like one of those synthy, neon-glowy TV production logos...

    Hadrosaurus Software ident is done. Next!

    &quot;So, was The Patty Duke Show show good? Eehh, not really.&quot; Sorry, Greg, hard disagree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWmvoqJTCQs&amp;amp;list=PL63ushetAZ-xoXYf46MkIywbmLq_3qXRw&amp;amp;index=99

    I gotta figure out how to work the Duck Soup mirror routine into one of my games

    I&#39;m honestly surprised I never got into Goosebumps. I was on the upper end of the target age range when it came out, but I was in there. And I liked reading everything, regardless of age. You&#39;d think I&#39;ve have been all over it, given how popular it was.

    Later today I&#39;m gonna reveal the new Hadrosaurus Software splash screen/ident animation in a ko-fi post. I think I did a pretty good job on it. If it lands the way I think it does, it&#39;ll make players go, &quot;Wait, am I playing a game or am I about to watch a PBS show from the early &#39;80s?&quot;

    holy shit. Did I nerf Enigma Heart, or do I just suck at Zelda II now because of the physics differences?

    oh shit, one of the two &quot;big one&quot; episodes of Nick Knacks that I&#39;ve been waiting for, is next: You Can&#39;t Do That on Television. I&#39;m stoked 👀

    I do a lot of thinking about branding lately.

  • Post #1736193

    This was, in a word, excellent. I&#39;d expect no less from Nick Knacks. It wasn&#39;t nostalgic; it was honest about the show&#39;s flaws, and it&#39;s less than stellar on-set environment. But it also didn&#39;t tear the show down either. If anything, I appreciate it more than I did before. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl44gvb8b9E

    Federation is interesting to me, even if I don&#39;t completely understand how certain aspects of it work. I just posted a thread with two posts in it, each of which has one YouTube link. The second post has a preview card, and the first one doesn&#39;t. On my account, anyway. On my other private account, and on my studio account (both on other instances), both posts have their title card and player widget.

    So, there&#39;s a feature I have in mind that I won&#39;t have ready in time for Next Fest (and I think it would be OP for chapter 1 anyway), but I have come up with a good idea how I can tease it., to signal to people playing the demo &quot;hey there&#39;s something cool in store for the future&quot; First, I can do like the Ring of Might, and have NPCs talk about it. (cont&#39;d)

    I&#39;m hungry, but I&#39;m also feeling lazy, so I don&#39;t really feel like making food

  • Post #1736189

    I get caught up a lot in whining into the void about what&#39;s going on in my life and what I&#39;m thinking and feeling, and forget to actually have conversations. But just know I think you&#39;re all awesome and I love ya

    The Nick Knacks binge continues, with another one of my most anticipated episodes, Today&#39;s Special https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku0M1QwjrNs

    good night, lovely creatures in my computer ✨ 🌈 🩷

    Weird. For over a year, MATE&#39;s pop-up HUD wasn&#39;t working at all, which sucked because I found it super handy. Now all of a sudden it is again. I&#39;m happy about that, but like... I didn&#39;t do anything! 😅

    I should have stolen the silver ball for HadroSoft&#39;s logo

  • Post #1703340

    I&#39;m trying to get over my tendency for hyperbole and get back to sincerity and plain speaking. I never quite shook the hyperbolic streak that was baked into a lot of terminally-online folks during the heyday of the nostalgia YouTuber era.

    I had a dream that we had ordered pizza Then I woke up and there was no pizza I was sad

    I wish I could get the kind of freelance design work that my employer laid me off in favor of in the first place

    This series -- about the history of Nickelodeon -- is amazing, and I&#39;m shocked I haven&#39;t encountered it before now. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL63ushetAZ-xoXYf46MkIywbmLq_3qXRw

    I hate asking, but as May creeps up and rent comes due again, things are still scary tight. Publisher search (and now job search tbh) continues, but nothing&#39;s really come my way yet. Again, I hate asking, but any amount (and boosting! 🔁) would help. Thank you 🙏🩷 https://ko-fi.com/clarusplusplus/goal?g=33 #mutualaid
