I'm now confident enough to show off my new app Chimeful 😏
Create "Chimes" that regularly remind you to take a short break, refocus on your current task or anything else that needs reminding. Chimes have individually adjustable scheduling rules.
It was especially designed for people with #ADHD who tend to get lost in thought and need to be brought back to the present moment.
TestFlight open now, any feedback is welcome!

Camera Shy Dev Log: Week 1

https://wordsfroma.dev/blog/camera-shy-log-1/

¡Vamos a volver a darle vidilla a nuestro perfil, por fin!

Empezamos con esta lectura que nos ha dejado Ude, ilustrada por Belén Casas, en la que nos habla de The Void:

"The Void tiene esta contradicción porque concibe a la mujer como un ente delicado, sabio, natural y maravilloso. Y blanco y delgado y canónico. El papel de la mujer no es el de crear, sino el de ser seres de luz que danzan alrededor de los atormentados hombres creadores."

exigy devlog update: it's okay to be ugly when you're young 😩

in which I do a very brief UI/UX analysis of eric chahi's Another World Editor and begin writing exigy's brutalist windowing system

when i was a kid, you could build a simple game or application by dragging and dropping a few UI controls, and gluing them together with a few dozen lines of BASIC or Pascal or HyperTalk. it might take 15 minutes, at most, to get your little character walking around on the screen. this is how we ended up with a lot of hilariously good and cheap shareware you could share on BBSes in the 90s.

for the past year i've been quietly working on building a software thingie that doesn't exist anymore. i've been building a software toolkit that's kinda like Visual Basic and HyperCard and Borland Delphi, designed for making tile-based 2d games.

i've been using it to build my own little goofy games, and improving on the drag'n'drop IDE as i figuring things out. it's not done yet, and has a long ways to go before it's ready for other people to start making their own little applications and games. think PICO-8 or ZZT if they had grown up on a steady diet of Windows 3.1 and GeoWorks Ensemble instead.

i'm really, really bad about polishing turds to infinity and never releasing them. to break that habit, i've built a mini-website for the IDE/Shareware Creation Kit. it's called Exigy, named like a bad 80s metal hair band or richard garriott game.

https://exigy.org

i'll be posting weekly blog/devlog updates there, so i don't irritate anyone with them on this account. there is an rss feed button at the top right if you hate my demonic php and css.

Cross-posted my #blog post to my #website https://nuzcraft.com/blog/20241108-thinktober/ This is an overview of my #Thinktober learning sessions last month! #GameDev #IndieDev

I posted a new #blog earlier today on my experience with #Thinktober #GameDev #IndieDev https://open.substack.com/pub/nuzcraft/p/thinktober?r=33udc2&utm_medium=ios

new #blog post coming soon! #gamedev #indiedev #thinktober

You may not have seen it because I've been posting about it on my other/personal account, but I lost my job. Given the industry I was in, I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

I figure I have a few months of unemployment benefits before my situation becomes critical, so I'm going to take that time to renew my focus on Enigma Heart and Acronia, and start utilizing @HadroSoft's Patreon to its fullest potential, including much more frequent updates. Maybe this could lead to indie game dev finally becoming my full-time job? Who knows!

I've revamped the tier structure, including some fun new merch perks. And all tiers now have access to playable builds of our in-development games, at different intervals.

I would really appreciate your support by becoming a paid member any tier. Please don't do it if you're not financially able to, but if you are, it would really help a lot!

Thanks, and let's see where this journey leads!
