- Disaster strikes... Development on this is going nicely. Sometimes it's fun to pull little pranks on the player. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
- Hemiparasitic flowers... Still not ready to properly reveal this project yet but I'm making great progress. I only work on it on the weekends, so I'm not in any rush.
- Working on something...

- and 15 years later it turns out the setting of minecraft is just kind of there to support your adventures. there's a sort of charm to the deliberate lack of elaboration, y'know? it asks you a question with ruins and monsters, and lets you answer it with buildings and adventures. It's collaborative.
- Settlemoon's been out for 2 years today! Here's a lil' post I wrote (with old development screenshots!!) to celebrate. store.steampowered.com/news/app/244...

- A lot of folk say that the hardest part of doing something is starting it. In gamedev it's the second hardest part. The hardest part of making a game is finishing it. Nobody really tells you this part since the tutorials are all about beginning it.

- You kinda have to be careful with roguelike elements in your game. Randomizing things can lead to a lot of variety, sure, and players learn your game's complex systems faster. ...but it's not necessarily less tedious. It's easy to slip into making something RNG because you don't care about it.
- if mollo gets in rivals 2 and gets a shirtless skin they should do this happy pride, top scars are cool as hell
- Need to make secrets game
- For y'all aspiring game designers, try out this exercise: Take a genre you love and REMOVE one of its main mechanics. How do you make a cool game without it?
- Wrote a lil' dev update for Settlemoon to catch folk up to what I've been doing! Check it out: store.steampowered.com/news/app/244...

- "Seems that loud Air Armada fledgling forgot some of my lessons over the years, but the resemblance is still there. He's even attempted to replicate my signature moves with his own element. Tsk. Arrogant." Check out Arecacura on the workshop here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #rivalsofaether

- HEY CENTO HAS WORKSHOP SUPPORT NOW steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... You can play as Pomme and use her theme! (To use a custom skin, go to Equipment and scroll left onto the animated preview. Custom songs are in Simple mode, selectable in "STAGE".)
- I made a Pomme mod for Cento! #RivalsofAether #Cento #Cent0 It doesn't have workshop support yet, it's just dropping files in a folder...maybe I should just share this via a google drive link for now?

- and here's the first draft I had of actual "stage sequences" as I called 'em. We didn't actually know who would be in the first stage for a while, so I sketched a stick figure of Ayala. Felt like a good "neutral" character to contrast the more bombastic ones later.
- Now that Dreams of Aether is finally out, I can start posting in-dev stuff that I thought was neat. For instance, here's the very first gif I recorded of the project. This was testing the main game loop. The lifecounters weren't even in the right spot...

- As a lil' added bonus...if you have Dreams of Aether in your steam library, you also get these 5 lovely player icons in Rivals of Aether 2!
- And hey, if you want more weird rhythm stuff like that one boss, give this a shot! It's one of the most unique game concepts I've seen and it's REAL intense. This isn't sponsored or anything, I just like this game. store.steampowered.com/app/2416050/...

- The free period is over, but Dreams of Aether is still 20% off for a week! $2.39 USD is a little less than $80, right? If you already got it when it was free, give your friends who missed out some gift copies! It's like a candy bar but better for your diet. store.steampowered.com/app/3463050/...
- It was all a dream...
- Despite wanting a Kirby Air Ride 2 for literal decades, finally seeing the announcement and i'm like...okay, neat? Maybe it's the lack of details, maybe it's the potential pricepoint, maybe it's AAA development sanding off anything interesting, maybe it's SSBU not being my thing. I dunno. I'm sour.
