Week in Review #10: Causing a Scene
Dog walking around outside alone: Oh no! Lost dog! Come here buddy, do you have tags? Let me call your owner
Cat walking around outside alone: That’s an Outside Cat
Look, nine weeks of this, you're gonna get some duds.
I like the bits in this season of Summer House where Bailey and Levi are chatting amongst themselves about what everyone else is up to. It’s like Rosencrantz and Guildernstern in the Hamptons.
I can just do that, not to brag, no big deal
Rusty's latest is fantastic: Today in Tabs - A.I. Isn't People
I am going to lead thoughts or else
What's next? What's next?
I finished my jam game! You can play Loose Leaf on Itch now. It's really really short, but I think it came out pretty nice. I learned a lot and I'm excited to do this again sometime soon.
The biggest thing I learned coming out of this is that I want more robust editing tools next time. Drawing maps in aseprite worked, but the back-and-forth between the visuals in the editor, the collision data also in the editor, and additional metadata in text-based config files was really inelegant. Next time I'll find a better way to be able to transition between these sources, and also to blend procedural art with manual tweaks.
