Meme image "distracted boyfriend". A guy holds hand with his girlfriend but looks toward another woman which his girlfriend does not like. I put the Steam-Logo on top of the head of the girlfriend with the words "steam pile of shame" and my game logo on top of the head of the other women and below the words "finishing my short, cute, rewarding game."

Funny #gamedev: I've implemented a banner which appears when a quest is started & quests are started now when you start accomplishing the goals (even without talking to the quest giver first). Turns out: Destroying a mine by sacrificing yourself still counts as: Quest started. :D

Today, I end the debate about #chocolatine vs #painauchocolate! From now on, we shall say #PainAuChocolatine!

Pixelart Space. A huge French chocolate pastry floats in space in the background. Next to it, the name: Pain au Chocolatine.

Does anyone have a Mac? I uploaded a Mac-Build of my Game to Steam, but I can't test as I don't have a Mac :D Can someone tell me if it works?

Little pixel art spaceship flies toward a dead desert earth. As soon as it's close enough, the earth sprite changes and is suddenly full of blue oceans and green forests.

Feels almost as good as a 100% full battery on the cell phone: Refactoring a feature and realizing that most code is not necessary anymore. This is code detox!

Are you naming your #gamedev stuff

or

Example1 (all enemies are sorted below each other):

enemy_02_charge_02
or
Example2 (all explosions are sorted below each other):

++ Linux-Friends, I N33D H3LP! ++
💡 Theory: You can now play my game on Linux: https://simonschreibt.itch.io/cozy-space-survivors
❓ Practice: I don't know if it works. I have no Linux-Distro anywhere. If you want, feel free to download and tell me if it runs. :)

Screenshot of my download section on my itch website which shows buttons for the different versions (windows, mac, linux) and I place a little heart and a linux tux pinguin next to the buttons.

First test with savegames which will make it possible to add some Meta-Progress (good for replay-motivation). Works also in Browser! Right now, the ships can be unlocked one after another.

After a long time of being a fan of camelCase I must admit, since I use Godot/GDscript, I prefer snake_case now. It's more readable to me. Or maybe my eyes just get worse.

436h.
That's one playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 or working on a game up to its demo state. I did the latter.
In this dev log I show how I track my time and how my invested time is distributed between code, art, learning, sound and play-testing: https://simonschreibt.itch.io/cozy-space-survivors/devlog/637073/update-64-milestone-steam-demo-breakdown-of-the-436h-invested

As some mobile ads look and sound better than the actual game these days...I guess this could be a compliment?!

Say something with max. 3 words which will be understood by people from your profession but is gibberish to the rest of the world.
