sorry, code is fucking beautiful. its fucking magical i can type words in the thing and fucking TRIANGLES just appear ? oops i typed it wrong and the triangles did something i didn't EXPECT ?? now weird shit is happening ?? this is the best shit of all time. i was born to fight the computer

frequently find myself tearing up when reading artists talk about their creative work and process in epilogues n things. so much thought and passion that the worst people on earth are trying to excise out of humanity…

huge recommend of Imaginary Storefronts by Mateusz Urbanowicz, which is a big source of inspiration for my own work making the little shops in WEJbA

*watches 1 person play my game* i think people should play my game i think i had some good ideas in here imho opinion

I know this game is all pretty self indulgent and I don't expect most people to vibe with it but I do genuinely think the music visualizer game is fun, I really hope people give it a try and put their favorite songs in it...

i’m releasing wejba part 2 tomorrow night because i live in the timezone where monday evening is tuesday for everyone else :)

i ordered a soft box for lighting plushies, i will banish the spectre of ring lights from my glassy toy eyes

making comics is cooler than games because when you finish a page of a comic you don’t need to spend 10x as long as it took to draw it seeing if the reader can somehow break it

Here’s number 5 of my felt grisaille stone gods. Got a bit carried away with this guy, time consuming but thoroughly enjoyable. My poor hands need a rest for a bit though. As usual all sewn from felt (I think around 3 metres) About a metre tall. I’ll post some process pics soon.

i’m being very strong and brave and adding in-game hints to my game despite finding it Very odious. for “QoLity of life.” so everyone in my steam reviews better shut up. and if you ask for steam achievements i’m hexing you, 1000 year familial curse

i have to make a confession… i’m a fake clown fan. i like the aesthetics but i can’t stand the japes and chicanery. 😞 i’m sorry but i just felt like i had to come clean on this.

WEJbA update: everything’s done for v2.0 now, i’m just adding stuff to the digging minigame. you will have 6 more things to find this update! one person’s review when they saw one of the things: “wow!!!”

for those curious about My Game: Hour 2 progress is quite far, I have a UI skin to draw and then the “core features” will be done. after that i have a bunch of “bonus features” i want to add that aren’t critical but i think you will enjoy

also: i’m glad i dragged out filling out the digging game catalog because my initial idea for how it “ends” sucked and my new idea rules

i used to have really powerful drawing muscles, it’s good that i’m not making comics anymore for my general health but i miss being able to draw for 4 hours in a row

some might suggest the whole thing is bonus features but i do have some kind of plan and priority list i promise

”why does this look AI generated” i feel like people need to look at actual AI generated shit to recalibrate every once in a while like a microwave clock.

i’ve been a lot kinder to myself since i got gray hairs. i’m basically a spent printer cartridge, anything i manage to accomplish from this point onward is basically a miracle
