Based of a fluffy little Alpaca souvenir we have
It was his day
COVID got me like one of these dudes
Tried one of these funny little guys and had to draw him
Was given a prompt and this is what I made!
I swear I'm not giving up!
Right now I'm just in between game projects since the release of my game and without a locked in project on my plate keeping up the streak feels forced right now.
I could fill it up with like, tutorials or experiments but I also am trying to make room for other things too that probably take priority.
But once I get back to a game, I look forward to resuming this.
More work on the card game and trying to iron out maybe uhhh a major flaw in the overall design
After the meeting last night I am trying a first pass at fleshing out the rules for the card game my friend and I are working on
Some little guy! idk who he is
Working on a card game with a friend and we chatted tonight about some early design stuff.
Very pumped about progress!
Adjacent to my game proper, I’m doing some work to set up another user account on my computer that can focus on just game dev without distractions from other things.
So that’s been a light snake pit, but I think im almost through!
Now that JOUNCER PX is out, I plan on turning my attention to some game dev tools I'd like to have.
I'm working in Godot and have identified some of the systems I want to be able to use "off the shelf" or at least have a strong functional base on any given project.
I've started some of this work and spent time today reviewing the work so far and documenting what work I want to do (or revist).
Updated Godot to 3.5.3 and at first brush nothing exploded AND now I can see the cursor in game!
I'll call that a win.
Made a custom cursor, only to find out my version of Godot has a bug where the custom cursor doesn't show up in web builds :(
May attempt to change versions though I would be afraid of what this could break.
Made some small changes and pushed them up.
Most important of which was addressing a bug where players were sometimes getting hurt when they were supposed to be invulnerable 😬
But should be fixed! Or at least...band-aided sufficiently.
Launched yesterday and tackling a number of issues, mostly small ones, based on some player feedback.
The biggest one was a bug that was causing players to take damage in an invincible state, so I'm glad to get that up soon.
Also made some tweaking on some "homing" behavior to make it snappier.
And allowed players to progress with the keyboard instead of mouse between stages.
My game is out!
Its called JOUNCER PX and its a one-button score chaser.
today I've just been sharing it out to folks and tracking incoming bug reports.

Prepping my itch page for launch!
Got some gameplay footage and screenshots for it.
My sound guy gave me a new track to work with and so I tried adding it in to some menus.
I have at least one spot where it feels good but I'll need to smooth out the transition between gameplay music and menu music before I'm happy with it.
I know this club is perhaps in hibernation but I figured I’d jump in anyways, rather than start a new one.
I have a game coming out in a few days so I’m working on some final touches.
