Chess is decided by the pieces that are on the board, not by how many have been taken off.

A bird sitting in a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings. Always believe in yourself.

Game Jams: there's a couple of them next month that I'm looking at.

The Artists Tavern Game Jam is from June 15 to the 22nd,
and/or Platformer Jam #2 from the 22nd to the 29th.


Playing Castlevania Advance Collection in my spare evenings and quite enjoying it.

Anyone remember Corona SDK?

I kind of wish I never finished the painting and just left it like this.

Coherent Pulse (my latest labor of love) ranked 3rd overall in the Game Jam for which it was created. I've been working on a v2.0 for the game, which addresses feedback from the jam and adds significant content. Version 2.0 is published and one can play it today!

I also re-shot the trailer. The old trailer was a bit embarrassing & performing poorly. This one is shorter, much more action.

I am thinking about shooting a Godot Dev video to see how that goes. It would be about how one can leverage the editor_description property of a Node to do some cool stuff and avoid overhead in some situations.

Here is a behind-the-scenes look at a game I have been working on for Untitled Game Jam 126. This one is a solo project. 3 days left before the deadline for this. I've already achieved quite a bit but I hope the submitted product becomes something I can be proud of. Made with Godot Engine 4.6.2.stable.

Oh I almost forgot to mention, this game has a surprise guest star voice actor. You'll never guess who it is.

As it turns out, I'm no longer working on a game for Godot Wild Jam 92, so I may take a second look at some unfinished projects in my spare time instead.

I was listening to some music this afternoon and, unexpectedly, I came up with a GreenCastleJams vol. 4 playlist. Give it a listen, I think it is quite good. It contains some high-energy songs I've always liked, good VGM remasters, and a couple new tracks I recently discovered.

(and yes, the playlists are still called GreenCastleJams. Legacy holdover.)

Worked on a painting today. Had some cold brew iced tea. Redownloaded Mega Man 11 - which I've never actually beaten, despite the fact my keychain is a Mega Man 11 Robot Master. Take a wild guess which one.

Not a whole lot's going on in my life right now. I'll probably do my taxes sometime.
