Folks my hometown and the surrounding area got hit with a wild storm that's caused floods, deaths, and widespread damage. If you've got some spare cash people are in dire need of support. alaskacf.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/c...

Game Dev/Musician with trash taste formerly up in Alaska. Could be the frostbite... Developer of "My Cat Malice" - Out now!
Started playing the original Metal Gear Solid and had 2 main thoughts: 1: Snake has flirted with every female character so far and is 2/3 on reciprocation. Did not expect that. 2: a lot more talking than expected. Also, that first boss fight is fucking weird and possibly my favorite of all time.
I had the weird moment where I was watching a show and Steve Buscemi showed up, and then I found myself so distracted by the fact that all I can think is Steve Buscemi and not the character he’s playing…so I’m putting down the show for the night. Like love the guy’s work, just a very distinct actor
So one of my favorite games is a gameboy rpg-superlite about doing chores…
So I learned that I should probably double-check that I un-hid the final build of the game on Itch by the time I said the game would be out. But I fixed it! My first game My Cat Malice is finally out!!! You can find it here: mildwest-games.itch.io/my-cat-malice #gamedev

So now a month out from releasing my first game, and all I gotta do for launch is -finish up fixing hi-score saving -one final playtest to set base high scores -work on thank you gifts for the crew that helped me get here. It’s super exciting. My Cat Malice, out August 1st #gamedev
After getting absolutely annihilated by Rane from Lone Zerg in my own game, I’ve now trounced his score… …all it took was adding more stages, several lines of code, a combo system, pots all being worth points, and a couple more mechanics… … but still, 141,000 vs 8300. Checkmate. #gamedev
Headed off to table at #ArcticComicCon with @cakeneq.com! Come see us and try out some homegrown Alaska games!
Retro achievements may have single-handedly changed my relationship with gaming. I wish I was kidding but getting that dopamine kick of achievement unlocked in games I thought I had exhausted is amazing
Finally put at least enough art to make a demo of my cat-zoomie break-stuff platformer My Cat, Malice. This is the furthest I've brought a game and it's about time to start showing it. #gamedev

Built a main screen for my cat-based speed platforming game, which also happens to be my first full game. I'm excited how it's coming together. Thank you to @wy477.bsky.social for the assistance in troubleshooting and helping me how to think like a dev.
So after about an hour of swearing at the steam deck for defying all my attempts to implement the Input library for Gamemaker, decided to run a Windows build in handheld. No idea why that worked, but surreal to be playing a game I’m making on a fight stick. Feels like full circle from being a kid…
If a cat were to theoretically tear up a room in your house, which room would you think they would destroy?
Just started developing an arcade game about my cat, Maggie. She was not pleased that her digital self could jump into the window easily.
As someone who grew up Christian, this morning was a perfect example of my issues with American Evangelicalism, and part of the reason I will probably never enter a church again.
Irrevocable Loss. Cheapass Daiso kids watercolor on calligraphy paper.
Today I learned laws are public domain. For whoever may be curious.
So I had a bug that ruined the original build of WMD, so had one of @wy477wh173.bsky.social 's canon events. Thank you to Wyatt for helping me get git set up. And now I have it rebuilt and backed up with version control.
So I finally made the MIDI sync and collisions work in #Godot, and we now have a playable prototype for WhiteManDance. Now begins the act of fleshing it out to a full game! If you want to try the prototype, you can find it here: hiccupetc.itch.io/whitemandanc...
Any #Godot developers have experience building games for multi-screen play? I have an idea that I'm working on an idea that would use two monitors, but wanted to see if anyone else had any experiences with it.
What if a Lan party of Wingman from Gears of War was in your Pizza Hut in the 80s?
