One of the downsides to using my own app that's in development for content is that when I make a bug, I can't make content. Lessons learned

Reached a big milestone with my PNG Puppeteer app. It now can save allowing me to record and edit from my phone. It did take making some fixes to one of the libraries I'm using but definitely worth
New iteration on my wargame die helper. Realized a ton of wargames have finicky bad rules so now this is more beside the base
So far I have almost got my pngtuber puppeteer app to a workable state for personal use which is awesome! Less awesome is seeing that I might need to make fixes in the libraries I am using and paid for. More news to come
After searching for years I finally decided to start making my own mobile pngtuber puppeteering app. Still in the early stages youtube.com/shorts/-XXRk...

Thankfully I did not lose access to my tiktok, it was *likely* all due to the change in management.
My biggest following is on tiktok and as it looks like I may lose my ability to share my games and design knowledge with them because I got logged out and cannot log back in, change my password, or recover my account #fml
Making odd dice on this Sunday in Blender. These are NOT tested yet but soon :)

A little Sunday Stones and Rivers puzzle. Squares to move and win in 1
I recently found myself disappointed in a game for the first time in years. This was not because the design was bad but rather it left "blank space" that felt lazy instead of intentional. Def going to make some house rules to fix that
Board game peeps, how early do you want to see games in development?
