Now kiss. Starting working on NPCs. They can't do much yet but spin around in place, but hey at least you can't walk through them anymore.

I like big prefabs and I cannot lie

The @grogpod.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy crew (minus one) did a stellar job on this 2-part series about the origins of the roguelike video game genre. If I were giving a course on this at uni, it would be on the reading list for sure. #indiegames #roguelikedev grogpod.zone/2026-07-22-E...

Commending myself for reusing lots of earlier code right before causing a casual stack overflow.

I started working on NPCs by duplicating the player gameobject and offsetting it a few tiles. It was kinda creepy to have a twin that shadows your movement and can still trigger map changes like walking into towns even though you didn't enter a town. Good enough starting point.

I've been making low-poly versions of my veggie meshes and I find them so weirdly charming. Such cuties

Going to a thing tonight to show and talk about my super duper unfinished game. Should be fun!

Shop counters. I actually kinda blew through my short term TODO list yesterday so I need to spend a little time thinking about what makes the most sense to work on next.

I think about this image every single day and how I'm also every person and object in it

I'm not into stand up paddleboarding but I like that its acronym is SUP. Seems casual and inviting. sup.

all rippers no skippers

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

this is my new favorite diagram

Reallly dumb oversight wasted me like 2 hours of gamedev work last night. Relieved to find out WHY the unexpected behavior was happening. I was losing faith fast. But yea, I done goofed.

ok everyone's asleep time to do weird map stuff with caves of qud

I saw that dunks bucket drink thing today. I mistook it as a container for munchkins. I had to cut back to mediums, the caffeine was affecting my sleep. If I drank a bucket of coffee a day I'm pretty sure I'd have some problems.

More please

Just having fun seeing what I can create with code and simple primitives #threejs #gamedev #indiedev #aigamedev

I just saw Obsession. Pretty damn good. Backrooms wasn't really my thing, but this one was a lot more my taste. The comedy to horror pipeline is strong.
