I've had a chance to play this now and it's glorious - almost maddeningly difficult but so perfectly paced and constructed that I had to see it through, and just gorgeous to look at - look at the tiles and the way the particle trail changes colour with deflections!

NEW RELEASE TIME! 8omp Escape the confines of your existence. Play as the ball from a legally-distinct retro arcade ping-pong game as it seeks freedom from its prescribed role in the world in this demake of the fantastic game Qomp. rarelikeaunicorn.itch.io/8omp

The rest of November is a little fluid for me. I kinda want to go back and touch up a couple of jam projects, finish a font or two, and get back to some Godot learning. A thing I definitely want to do is refresh my P8 template file one last time, so it'll be ready to go for game jams... 👀

As a matter of keeping myself from spiraling down into musical frustration, I'm saying this now to give myself the deadline: 8omp is coming out tomorrow, no matter what!

This, a hundred times over. I often feel super insecure in the value of my own opinions when giving others feedback, *even if it's only good feedback*. But if I let that insecurity keep hold of me, then I'm not giving the ratings or reviews that those games deserve (and need for visibility!)

I think 8omp needs to be the last time I try to do all the music and sfx by myself for... a long time. I keep trying to improve, and working from references for this and VVVVVVV have been valuable for learning, but I'm never satisfied with what I produce 😕

I think I've got the art locked in on 8omp now, which took longer than I expected. Trying to maintain the spirit of qomp color-wise while also working in P8's restrictions created some interesting tension, so I decided to go with some extra colorization for visual clarity.

Well, November is starting off real shitty. Had an elderly friend pass away. Boyfriend got covid. I'm in isolation until I find out if I caught him from him, while also dealing with my normal health issues. And now today is National Anxiety Day. Hurray.
