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."

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

Learned this only after 500h+ of Godot: You can (and should) close "tabs" aka other opened scripts from time to time. Helps to keep an overview AND more important: reduces loading times of the project! I was wondering why it took FOREVER when i loaded my project. #gamdev #GodotEngine

BETA TEST for new Player Ship! SPECIAL: Each segment contains a weapon slot, BUT the lower your health, the fewer segments you have (until you gain health again)!!

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!

Most ppl know Vampire Survivors, but what about those who don't know the gameplay loop already? I've added a subtle hint to my cozy game, so EVERYONE knows exactly what to do.🎯

pixelart. a spaceship shoots a metallic portal which floats in space. the portal explodes, but the explosion looks like 1000 firework rockets.

When the time is over (meaning: you've won), enemies now spawn little hearts to show that they are friendly again!♥️

++ 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.

I'm searching an OLD game. Can you help?

1. Run on DOS, maybe also C64/Amiga
2. Most likely 16 Colors
3. You saw a house like below, and you could look into the rooms
4. You controlled a character by TYPING TEXT (no direct control)
5. At game start, the game would "say" its name via PC Speaker

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?

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

Just added sound regulation to avoid that the game gets CRAZY loud when the same sound is played several times at the same moment.

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