It's my birthday, and I'm thinking about using my new project to be exactly as weird and chaotic as I am on the internet - on purpose. Send ramen.

This would probably be weird, but I kinda wish subbed anime was translated directly, instead of being interpreted for Western audiences. Especially when the "translation" is so far off from what's being said. Or just straight-up wrong. Looking at you, Netflix.

Ah, fuck it. We're doing a One Piece rewatch until my brain resets. Send meshi.

Yeah... So that was a bust. The system works just fine, but not in the way that I want it to. And my "vision" for it is way too complicated. But at least I made some nice UI. 🤷 Gonna eat some noodles and decide how my next method of mental torture. Send Mountain Dew. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Good morning, fellow weirds! After sleeping on it, I realize that I'm overcomplicating -- and bloating -- the system I'm trying to build in the name of "realism," when what I really need to do is to flatten and narrow the focus. Ugh. Send ramen. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

You ever look back at one of you abandoned game projects and think, "Dammit, I really want to play that"? But you can't, because you didn't finish it. Sigh. Makes me very sad. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

I've been working on this system using utility as a basis. But now that I'm fleshing it out, I'm thinking that I may need to invert the whole thing in order to fit what I'm trying to do. But I don't have the mental capacity for that right now, so... Send Mountain Dew. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Oh. My. God. Do you know how excited this makes me?!?!? Do you!!

OMG people are going to LOVE the new offset transform property in Godot 4.7! It allows you to easily animate elements inside containers, even with the AnimationPlayer 😍

Okay, I ended up doing way more UI than I needed to. But in my defense, shut up. Now I'm *really* gonna work on the actual system I'm supposed to be building. Even though the flickering tooltips will bug me the whole time. Send Mountain Dew. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

I really want to understand how to use bitflags in #Godot. But no matter how many times I read up on it, it just bounces right off. Conceptually, I get it. But trying to implement it just... I don't even know. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

It's international women's day if only there was a starter back of amazing Black & Femne Developers to support ✨✨✨ go.bsky.app/88aYGTF

Alright, fellow weirds! While I do want to make some changes (read: do some scope creep), I have all of the UI needed to display the data. Now it's time to figure out how to generate the data. Here's hoping my head doesn't explode from all the fun. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Me, working on this prototype: "Since I'm getting sleepy, I'll just work on UI tonight, and start on the hard/fun parts tomorrow with fresh eyes." Also me: "How the fuck is it already 0400!?!?!" Send Mountain Dew. Gonna need it when I wake up. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

This is turning out to be a rather interesting little project. Of course, I had to make it weird and give it a story. But whatever. It'll give me something to use when I actually start testing things. Send Mountain Dew. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Konnichiwa, fellow weirds! Today's been... a day. But I wish to make a little proof of concept for an idea that I have. Could be something that I can build into something bigger if it works out. Or it could become another dust collector. Who knows? Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

After all that talk this morning, I only managed to pull together a new boilerplate project. And now there's a storm going on that keeps knocking out our power. Maybe this is a good time for me to do some work on paper. Send Mountain Dew. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Happy Saturday, fellow weirds! I only slept for three hours, but I'm inspired and I think I've finally found a way to do a thing that I've been trying -- and failing -- to do for years. *Years*, I tell you! Send Mountain Dew. Shit's about to get weird. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

There are many times when I'll look at a game and think, "How did you do that? I want to figure out how to do that, too!" And then I end up with a new project that will end up collecting dust. And it's about to happen again! 😀 I am who I am, dammit. Don't judge me. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

It seems my one of my habits is to work on UI when I'm lost in a game project. I have most of my screens set up for the entire game, and not one bit of actual gameplay. But at least I wrote *some* code today. So there's that. Send ramen. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Guys. Omigod, you guys. I tried it. It works. I am very happy right now.

You can do something similar. Multi-select and drag, then hover over the target node in the scene tree - that opens its inspector, then you can drop the objects on an array property. I think this might only work for node refs, not resources though.

Hey there, fellow weirds! Yesterday, I wrote a grand total of 0 lines of code. And today might be more of the same. It's a fun mix of perfectionism and Shiny Object Syndrome. But I'm really hoping that today's the day I finally nail down the details. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Omigod, you guys. I just woke up from my nap and found that someone had actually sent me a Mountain Dew. I am beyond chuffed! Thank you, Jessi!!

You know, one of these days, someone is going to go to my Ko-Fi page and actually buy me a Mountain Dew, and I would enjoy it immensely while giggling like a feral schoolgirl.

Greetings, fellow weirds! I didn't get very far last night on the new build. But now I'm kind of glad about it. Because this morning's inspo hunt/brainstorming session has netted me some awesome ideas. Time to actually build it and see if they work. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Reasons to drink Mountain Dew: • Fun colors. • Good flavors. • Orange juice is one of the main ingredients (healthy!). • More caffeine per ounce than coffee, probably. • The sugar-free version doesn't taste like complete ass. • Wacky Halloween editions that aren't pumpkin spice or candy corn.

One thing that I do sorely miss from Unity is the ability to lock the inspector and drag multiple objects into an array. Still won't go back to using Unity, but I'm envious. And if someone tells me that I can do that in #Godot, I am going to lose my shit right now. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Ahoy, fellow weirds! I had an fun thought about my game last night, so I've been exploring my options this morning before I start deleting code. And I must say, things have taken an interesting turn... I'll require ramen today. I just know it. Let's game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Earlier today, I realized that I might just be a Goth Hobbit, and I am still amused by this.

I tried a different approach to building cards for my game, but ran into a wall. Then proceeded to ignore the wall and stare at the ground while trying to continue forward. Sigh. Back to the drawing board it is, then. More game dev tomorrow. Or rather, later today. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

After another episode of Effin' Around in Figma, I'm still not happy with what I've come up with. But I just had A Thought: I could -- and probably should -- just build the gameplay systems without tying them directly to the UI. Seems like a fun challenge. Send ramen. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev
