Completely overlooked the fact that two days ago, it was the 4 year anniversary of when I started on this project.. It's been a tough journey with two herniated discs, health scares and the like.. can't believe it's been that long already. I'm currently still pumped full with pain-killers too >

I'm making leaps and bounds with progress on Benji 1.7. :) It's a massive undertaking because I've been making the code even more optimised than it was. :') Benji is becoming super lightweight for many devices so it should be easy to play!

Got some good news as well yesterday. I'm getting my 'pre-appointment' for my surgery next month, and normally that means my surgery isn't too far away either! Hopefully before Halloween I'll have had my surgery and will be pain-free!! 🤞 The pain meds make devving super difficult 😮‍💨

Also today our anniversary gift came in, luckily on time too :3 got a XP Pen display tablet which will help in future projects and also just to draw :D Delivery was funny though. I stood in the kitchen thinking 'I wonder if it'll be delivered today' and two seconds later "hello, delivery!" 🫪

Celebrating 11 years with @shimoaoi.bsky.social today 🥰💜🧡 Happy anniversary darling 😘🫂🫂🫂

Luckily the damage has been minimal. I managed to get the basics back in and all that's left now is remaking the donck's source code and refactoring the entire path generation mechanic from scratch again.. ugh. Well. I'm glad everything went somewhat ok. Setting up version control tomorrow again XD

I'm glad I made backups after my version control app stopped working. I've pasted my old source code back in, and made some essential refactors since my data tables rely on the new structs I lost. If all that got lost I would have to recreate every level perfectly.. which would be a nightmare :O

I thought I'll prepare myself to work again on Benji. and I went to look at my code. Found out all my code is gone. The entire Source folder.. gone... not even in the bin. Luckily I made back-ups, but it does mean that all my work for 1.7 needs to be redone completely :(

My head's a mess on my pain meds. I want to work on Benji as I genuinely enjoy it, so why is it so hard to commit to it 😩

Forgot to make a follow-up post. I've been back since Friday afternoon. Sat 14 hours in the waiting room to be told they can't operate on me still and included yet another pill for me to take in the meantime to "relax my nervous system" 😩 I'm tired of pills and morphine, they mess my head up 😮‍💨

My 9 year old son: What song should you not play at a funeral? My partner: If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. *Raucous laughter from 9 year old* Just a normal, random interaction in this house. :')

I can never go back to regular kiwis after discovering Sungold variety. 🤤

It's been 10 months since I herniated my disc and now it's gotten so bad it might create irreversible damage, so I've called an ambulance to get me to A&E. Hopefully I won't be sent off again, and they get me fixed up. It's been so long since I've been pain-free 😔

Happy Spooky Season everyone! 👀🎃🦇👻 #spookyseason

The Donck is in the game! ~ Accidentally made it moonwalk. #heehee #indiedev #gamedev

A walking Donck :3 Absolutely care free, not remotely bothered by the strange anomaly that is eating his world ~ #indiedev #gamedev

This is the Idle animation for the Donck :) I love this silly goof :3 #indiedev #gamedev

The foundational mechanics of the Donck have been programmed in :3 They'll simply walk left and right with different speeds, distances etc. and they will move along the terrain too! I "reinvented the wheel" by making my own 'character class' to keep a lot of overhead out :3 #indiedev #gamedev

Just felt like quickly updating my profile picture as I've been quietly "reinventing myself" :') It's not finished yet, but after many different attempts on a permanent look, I've settled on this fella:

My pain medication is driving me insane but it makes my pain just about "manageable". I really want to get back into things but I have huge mental block and no energy 😮‍💨... I basically have a sort of ADHD from the pills and I can honestly say: respec 🫠

I'm glad the heatwave is on a momentary break. Stood in the sun yesterday evening to wash the car and even with hydrating properly my brain felt cooked after I was done. 🫠

Between the sedation of the heavy pain meds and this unbearable heat and humidity, I'm having a really hard time doing anything productive.. the smallest amount I can muster is for my family. I'm glad I found one of our neck fans though, but our standing fan makes it somewhat livable 🥲

Putting off going to bed, so you and your partner just start talking in "Dog of Wisdom" for 5 minutes before getting off the sofa. 🥲
