A screencap of a pixel-art game: Two characters standing in a warm and cozy room with multi-colored bunny plushies on the shelves and a trans flag on the wall. Sparrow, a girl with ochre brown skin and fluffy aqua hair, asks "What sort of things can you grow on the grounds of the manse?"

The witch's daughter, Sparrow, is a shy and gentle soul who enjoys making plushies. She's one of three initial romance options for Hallowed Crossing- and she's trans. Happy #TDOV 🏳️‍⚧️💕

Hey! I have a diploma in web development and some experience working with housing-related projects in Canada. I'd love to chat about this opportunity.

looking into it a bit more, gml compiles to c++, which i don't think has a random .next built in, but there is an advanced random library available. www.geeksforgeeks.org/cpp/random-h... is re-seeding causing performance issues?

np! it might also have a .next method, which should force a new number from the existing seed. weirdly it looks like the game maker docs page for loops uses random, so you'd think it would work...?

in unity, random will pull from a seed based on the timestamp, so if its being run multiple times within a millisecond itll repeat itself. i think if you re-seed it during the loop that would help

Over the weekend, I released version 0.3 to my playtesters. Key features for this update include the Grid Info window (in the top left of these screenshots), as well as furniture!

Pixel art of a wisteria plant growing on a wooden lattice.

Today I pixeled a wisteria lattice for the witch's cottage.

Pixel art of a cob of flint corn, yellow red and black, with a beige-to-rust husk.

I decided to include flint corn instead of sweet corn in Hallowed Crossing as a nod to the First Nations people who are the original and continuing stewards of the land on which I live.

Over the week I've added 36 new items to Hallowed Crossing, including the first round of desserts!

Today's feature is the warp menu! Now that I have more locations, it was becoming a necessity.

Today I was mostly working on items, especially from the mines.

Screencap of a pixel game: the formally dressed NPC Viryn states "These gardens have gotten so unruly. Someone should tidy them up before Sir Vincent returns."

Screencap of a pixel game: inside a manor with dark green walls and fancy stone flooring.

Sir Vincent was many things: a Keymaster Reaper, an avid gardener, a researcher, and your grandfather. Two years after he vanishes, you are summoned to execute his will. Pulled into the strange and spooky town of Hallowed Crossing, the keys to his disappearance lie in recultivating his gardens.

Screencap of a pixel art farming game. A character in a grey sweater waters plants in a field. Outside of the field, there are trees overgrown with thorns and two peacocks.

I still need to write a proper summary of this game but I've been working hard on it. Here's a screencap of progress from a month or two ago.
