Nova the Squirrel's level design process was very different. With the bigger and much more complex levels I spent a lot more time both editing and testing levels, running through the path I'd made multiple times, trying different things and just generally getting lost in my own creation. There were actually a lot of points where I'd feel like running through a bunch of levels just for fun rather than particularly to test anything.

It really seems like an in-game level editor where I can doodle out levels and test them right away is a big deal when it comes to just being creative and trying things design-wise. Granted, the wait time between builds would be smaller if I would, you know, use makefiles.

#Plush photo. Also included some non-plush stuff. I left some duplicates and childhood plushes out, but I can take a pic of those too!

Maybe tomorrow I'll try to take a good pic of *all* of my non-duplicate plushes, if that's possible to fit.

By coincidence, the day I decide I'm going to try and get a lot more involved on SpinDizzy, a bunch of people I've never seen before show up and push everything into a very in-character atmosphere. Including a squirrel!

Pre-level screen that gives you both a view of the entire level and the level's objective. Reused the level displayer from the level editor. #gamedev #gbdev

Shout-out to whoever's still paying to keep the infinitely-falling bread sign rotating almost a year after the bakery itself closed. It would be a sad day if it ever stopped.

Does anyone have any recommendations for #furry communities that are largely SFW? I've been trying to reinvigorate mine by adding new people but it's not working so well.

In the meantime I should probably put my focus into *really*, actively, trying to get myself involved on SpinDizzy MUCK.

Here's some silly stress testing stuff, where due to enemies spawning in the middle I'm safe from everything. #gbdev #gamedev

FHBG GB's in-game level editor should be complete now. You can draw a level and also set parameters and an enemy list for it. #gamedev #gbdev
(and it seems like gifcam messed up a little too)

I'm a video game squirrel

On the way home from the bike ride I went on yesterday I stopped at Yummi Bunni and tried the glazed donut icecream thing.

I tried ketchup flavored chips again and actually liked them a lot, which surprises me since I remember disliking them.

I noticed I actually rarely feel out of place for being a girl anymore. I'm not sure if it's my surroundings improving or me simply finding better surroundings but I'm thankful.

Here's a cleaned-off desk, where my squirrel print from last year's IndyFurCon can decorate my room much better now.

Actually taking some time to clean my room and make it so my desks are actually usable as desks again.

https://t.me/cleanfurryrp18 Gonna try and start this at least. I tried starting a regular SFW roleplay group and it got flooded with minors and feels super unsafe.

I also have an ace-friendly transformation group if anyone wants an invite to that (~30 people). It's inactive though.

Now and then I really wish there were more of a place in the furry fandom for adults who want somewhere cleaner to socialize. It's really unfriendly to ace people as-is.

In-game level editor in FHBG GB now lets you set the number of needed chips (if needed) and a limit on the number of simultaneous enemies. #gamedev
