I confess, I often worry
that a year from now
I’ll be here
saying “welcome,
to the eighth year
of the pandemic.”

But given the state
of the world
I confess, I mainly worry
that a year from now
none of us
will be anywhere anymore.

Looks like I got laid off today.

I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨

Trying to explain to a task-hungry person that my motivation to do stuff is largely driven by my desire to stop doing stuff.

Very interesting revisiting #love2d and #fennel after working on some other games with #DragonRuby. I feel like I understand so much more! I think I implemented code in the few hours I've had the past three days that would've taken me an actual day a year ago.

I legit feel like I am actually better at making games.

I'm not sure what gameplay looks like yet. For the magic system, spells will have some cost, like a mana cost. That resource can be generated over time, but there is a limit. Countering a spell will give you a surge of the resource. If you ever overload on the resource, you explode.

Not sure how to make spells yet. Not sure how to generate the casting resource yet.

My #lovejam2026 game idea is starting to come together. Once again, I'll be using #fennel to program it, starting from the excellent and convenient https://codeberg.org/alexjgriffith/min-love2d-fennel by @Alexjgriffith.

The theme is "counter."

I had some initial thoughts, but after saying "counter" out loud is enough different and somewhat wacky ways, I settled on a game about magic duels. You and your opponent each must balance casting and countering spells.

Simple Sabotage Field Manual 6d ago

The ordinary citizen very probably has no immediate personal motive for committing simple sabotage. Instead, he must be made to anticipate indirect personal gain, such as might come with enemy evacuation or destruction of the ruling government group.
