Happy birthday to Terrible Toybox's Thimbleweed Park! One of my all-time favourite adventure games with great writing, humour and replayability. This one means a lot to me.

If you haven't played it yet, for goodness sake check it out a-boo.

Some in-game lore text. I tend towards the sardonic.

Noticing that my NPCs are constantly reloading their weapons I realized that I coded my own OCD into my game AI. Now to have them keep checking if doors are locked 😂​ #gamedev #IndieDev #solodev

Getting enemy AI to work in game development feels sort of like parenting, except that instead of not listening to you the characters do exactly what you say, and no more. Oddly enough the end results are quite similar. #gamedev #IndieDev #solodev
