Final or nearly final box/label art. Drawn by http://www.furaffinity.net/user/fluffylinn

@shaderphantom One year I asked for tons of Warrior Cats books and that's how I ended up with like, 24 of them.

@claude Whenever anyone plays the game on stream it gets described as "trippy", so yeah pretty much.

Box/label art progress from my artist; thoughts?

Messing around with my in-game level editor a bit and just being abstract. I think the level editor will really help my game stand out if I can polish it enough.

@behold3r I think this could be generalized into all rodents being cute

I think the box art for my game is the first time I've ever been drawn in a different outfit, which honestly should happen more often.

Dunno if I'll have five slots in the end but right now you can save and load level layouts on four slots. I'll have to add in the ability to change the sprite placement and save/load the selected tilesets. Maybe select music too? #nesdev #gamedev

Back when Infinite Warfare came out I was retaking Calc II and I joked that "∑call of duty" is an infinite series and with the most recent term we found out it is divergent

I got to see one of those Sega Genesis emulation boxes with the terrrrrible sound

@maple with my Isabelle I kinda like having her be an abnormal one that sticks out among the sea of other Isabelles, who knows it too :p

I'm extending Nova the Squirrel's level sandbox into a full level editor, with saving and loading.

@rainwarrior Yeah after reading about it, it sounds like a very sensible and useful design.

I also forgot that the generation 1 LEGO Mindstorms uses infrared to communicate with the robot too, and in general it feels like they reused engineering for this Mindstorms subseries.

I like how the LEGO Spybotics series from long ago just made the bot/PC connection use light for some reason, instead of making electrical contact. Probably made it way more tolerant of a poor connection, actually.

I'm working on a feature for Tilemap Town where a bot can list out a series of maps it wants to listen in on remotely so you don't need one bot connection per map. It's granular so you'll be able to see that a bot is watching build commands but your chat messages are still private, for example. In addition to that, a map has to explicitly give a specific bot permission to listen.

@Chel what happens here a lot is people have an obsession with always keeping them occupied with videos so when we're in the kitchen together I might have to listen to screaming Melee videos or whatever

"I've made you over 1000 sack lunches since you started school. This is the last one. I'm going to miss making these :( Have a great rest of your senior year!"

I took out the recycling today and apparently it hasn't been picked up by the truck yet, so I went looking and there's just so many high school memories I decided to rescue past just the referrals.

There's an edited abstinence pamphlet I thought I'd lost, comics and art (!), a heartfelt note I found in my lunch one day, seating chats I shouldn't even have, and more. I can't believe this was all going to get recycled.

Today is the canonical birthday for Isabelle from Animal Crossing 🎂
