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'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 "I'm not a good programmer, I have no clue what I'm doing, this game is going to crash in embarrassing, unforeseen ways on everybody else's machine" ever go away? This is a serious question. Because I hate that feeling

I don't need AI in order to integrate code I don'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'm looking at.

okay, i'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't know jack about shaders and can't be bothered to learn, lol. At any rate, it should be a cool little ident that I'm gonna be putting together tomorrow. If it works the way I'm picturing it in my head, it'll be like one of those synthy, neon-glowy TV production logos...

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

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

I'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'd think I've have been all over it, given how popular it was.

Later today I'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'll make players go, "Wait, am I playing a game or am I about to watch a PBS show from the early '80s?"

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 "big one" episodes of Nick Knacks that I've been waiting for, is next: You Can't Do That on Television. I'm stoked 👀

I do a lot of thinking about branding lately.

This was, in a word, excellent. I'd expect no less from Nick Knacks. It wasn't nostalgic; it was honest about the show's flaws, and it's less than stellar on-set environment. But it also didn'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'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'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's a feature I have in mind that I won'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 "hey there's something cool in store for the future" First, I can do like the Ring of Might, and have NPCs talk about it. (cont'd)

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

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

Weird. For over a year, MATE's pop-up HUD wasn't working at all, which sucked because I found it super handy. Now all of a sudden it is again. I'm happy about that, but like... I didn't do anything! 😅

I'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.

This series -- about the history of Nickelodeon -- is amazing, and I'm shocked I haven'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'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
