Looking at (and working with) my old code makes me want to rewrite everything and start from scratch.
It's amusing to see the different phases I went through, though. Switching from ds_* stuff to arrays was amazing.
Been on a roll these past few weeks working on Craggenrock's next big update. It feels good to be in the zone again. Being careful not to burnout myself again.
A lesson learned the really brutal way.
More decor options coming soon to Craggenrock! 🖼️

GDS was fun! Bit tiring but well worth it 🙂
Wish I took more pics of people haha

While I'm really glad that my game is finally out, it's kinda hard to celebrate coz of the heavy rain and potential flooding in my area. 😬 (Still, yayyyy~)
Apologies for any late replies. Internet's a bit spotty rn.

i'm so scared. This is nerve wracking 🤢
It's that time of the year again. ☹️
I really want and need to sleep, but I have to stay alert coz there's a chance it'll flood.
Living in a floodprone area is a real pain.

Why does Claude's suit look like jammies? 😭
Albania sounds great tonight #eurovision
Darkest Dungeon II's narration reminds me a lot of Schitt Creek's Moira Rose.
The vocabulary.
Went to the IGG PH Awards Night earlier. Congrats to the winners! 🏆
It was nice catching up with some game dev friends (and getting some fresh air).
It's so hot 😩
Drinking cold water and taking multiple showers just ain't cutting it anymoreeee
Same thoughts here.
I'd rather take some more time polishing everything as much as I can than rushing it out there just for the sake of releasing it asap.
I'm a few weeks off my target, but I made quite a progress redoing Craggenrock's demo.
Expanded story and dialogue, UI/UX improvements, re-balancing, etc. Onto testing next!
I don't usually ask for help debugging my code, but when I do, it's some stupid mistake like a misplaced ")" or referencing variables that doesn't exist.
A bit embarrassing having someone point out something trivial like those 😅
Craggenrock's been nominated for a few awards in the Indie Games Group PH (IGG PH) Awards this coming March 15th. ❤️

I wish I can post something new/flashy for social media, but it's mostly just code, numbers and text changes.
Will post more soon once everything's more fixed up.
