Nova Storm @NovaSquirrel@computerfairi.es

I'd say so far I managed to do a lot better than I did last year panel-wise. I found out that the comedy panels were the ones I *really* enjoyed, so I made sure to give them a focus.

I commissioned a new badge to be my souvenir for the convention as well as to serve a functional purpose. I'll post a pic here once I get it!

I'm really lucky that a handful of other people from a sober/teetotal group happened to go to the same con as me. They made the first night of the con great and we had the kind of fun I actually enjoy.

I checked out a TF Meet & Greet at the con and unsurprisingly it had a big focus on werewolf stuff, but wasn't awkward or weird to be there.

@woob I personally made the decision that I wouldn't care about keeping my Mastodon "presentable" so my mindset already has that taken care of.

@maple I host the official server at https://novasquirrel.com/town/ (hit Login and connect with no username and password). https://github.com/NovaSquirrel/TilemapTown/blob/master/docs/commands.txt has the documentation so far. Once I get home from IndyFurCon I'd love to get on here with some people!

@wolfcoder One of my side projects is a GBC game, and before that I made Conway's Life for it. I'd say GBC is especially tricky design-wise because the small screen means you have to care about reaction time more than usual. Here I use little "incoming enemy" indicators to help.

I head out to IndyFurCon today! I've been looking forward to this all year and I'm going to try to make the most of it.

@wolfcoder NES development is a bit different since there's a tight-knit community there, probably since it's a niche thing to do.

@Nezumi After looking around awhile it seemed like my best choice. It was either this or a game dev instance, and I decided Twitter serves those needs better and I should go for something furrier here.

My main "modern" project is named Tilemap Town, and it's a collaborative map creation tool where you can build a world with your friends and socialize in it.

It's mostly inspired by the old BYOND "building game" genre, specifically Icon Ultima, but it also tries to be like a MUCK and roleplaying is a focus too.

@Tobi Aside from me open sourcing everything by default, I kind of hoped to create something like Super Mario World has, where people share blocks, sprites and other assets, and you can easily make a platformer game with these. I want to encourage sharing and openness in general for retro game development.

Hello, I'm NovaSquirrel and I'm a game developer and furry. I really like platformer and puzzle games, and https://novasquirrel.itch.io/nova-the-squirrel is my take on a game that blends the two together, inspired by my childhood favorites. It's for the #NES, and I hope to release cartridges of it some day.
