Level 44 Unlocked! 👴😅

Seriously tho, had a lovely day. Got given this lovely small vintage brass miners lamp from my wife 🤩🪔
Ate WAY too much cake already & prob gonna eat more while watching a movie later. 😏
All in all, a great day off work! 😊

TFW you're struggling getting a story to work. 😒
So you finally employ Dan Harmon's "Story Circle" to fix it, and wind up with (quite possibly) the BEST story you've ever come up with. That! 😊
Now time to re-write most of the dialog... 🤦‍♂️

First mock-up/design of #SCUMMTron, a planned evolution of #SCUMM8, which was my 1st attempt to create a #PointAndClick adventure game engine. 🗺️🏗️
This time tho, #Picotron should enable me to add the built-in editor that I never had room to complete in the #Pico8 version.
All concept art at this point (+all subject to change, of course).
Next step is to actually start coding some of this! 😅
(Oh, and I have that other adv game engine to finish also... 😇)

I fired up #Picotron this morning and saw something new in the code editor! 😱
Guess it was only unlimited tokens during the introductory price period..? 👀

Ok, I really need to pull my finger out and get #SAGEngine (my web/mobile Simple Adventure Game Engine) finished already.
Setting myself the target of finishing before the 2yr anniversary mark, in May 😅

Oh good. One step closer to the prophecy that WALL-E foretold... 😒

Son of a nutcracker! 😩
Looks like #YouTube is winning the #AdBlocker battle
(Tried purging #uBlockOrigin cache again, but no go 😒)

UPDATE:
Looks like it might've been the "Enhancer for YouTube" extension that I was also using (for auto-cinema mode, etc.). Disabling that seems to have gotten me back in the game.

PROBLEM:
Social Media can be linked to depression

SUGGESTION:
Try to improve #GameDev Social Media life, by balancing successful/beautiful posts (e.g. #ScreenshotSaturday), by also posting brutally honest imperfect/failed attempts (#ShoddySunday?) 😉

Working on my #TweetTweetJam entry and it's definitely got me thinking how to actually achieve the finer details. No idea whether this'll even fit, but hey - at least I have an idea to work with! 😅

No, YOU forgot to update the copy protection in your 5 yr old #PICO8 game before @itchio changed their CDN (checks notes) ...last month! 🤦😇
Now fixed & ready for your pixelated, galaxy-exploring pleasure:

Yesterday we went to London to see #TheMousetrap for my wife's "big birthday" present and thoroughly enjoyed it. 🕵️‍♂️
We booked it far enough in advance that private box seats were available (for the same price as other tickets) so we got our own little balcony and even a private door/staircase (felt like royalty! 👑)
Would highly recommend to any fans of murder mysteries/#theatre in general, as the theatre is a museum in itself! 😊
#KeepTheSecret #AgathaChristie

Wooden sign in foyer telling us we were about to watch performance number 29,165 of Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" - the world's longest running play!
The birthday girl sitting in our box seats - only accessible via a wooden door from the stalls to a private staircase. The tickets were about the same price as surrounding ones - just needed to be quick to book.
Our view, can't get much closer than that! 😅 (didn't mind that we had restricted viewing for the right-part of the stage, as most of the action was centre/down stage anyway)

NGL, this Empires demo by Conspiracy for #Revision2024 is one of the most beautiful pieces of software rendering I've ever seen! 🤩🌌
Could watch it for hours (wonder if there's an "uncompressed" recording somewhere?)
