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.🎯

It's very important that we go out and bury really odd things in the ground to mess with future archeologists.

To all nice people: I wish you later a good transition into '24! Stay save, spread love and don't forget: Your New Year's resolution will definitely* work out this time, if you wishlist my game Cozy Space Survivors before midnight!

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.

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷This might split or bring together ALL OF FRANCE! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Today, I end the debate about #chocolatine vs #painauchocolate! From now on, we shall say #PainAuChocolatine!
See how it feels by playing my game (in Browser): https://simonschreibt.itch.io/cozy-space-survivors-web

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

Working on my small game is very different from working on a portfolio piece. Here, the game has 1st priority, and it's much to do, that "good enough" is totally fine for some assets. Sometimes I use geometry nodes to generate the art, but sometimes it's just a photo overpaint.
This is a background pain-au-chocolatine planet.

My wave function collapse seems to be working fine.

grumpygamer, 6 months ago to random

OK, my Dinky -> C++ wave function collapse is done. I'm sure it will work the first time, but I'm not going to run it until tomorrow morning because if I run it now I'll get sucked into programmer until midnight. Time to go home. By "going home" I mean walking out of my office into the living room. Good night everyone.
