Unity just crashed while crashing #justgamedevthings

Idk if I'm just this bad at it, or Unreal Engine lags af on my machine, or it just generally lags. Starting to consider different engines because I can't import a basic rock without logging in 5 times into the fab/quixel

#JustGameDevThings Trying to test if the new enemy attack is properly working, but I keep dodge rolling it because my tired ass mind is locked in. #SuccessfullyFailing

"Well, first you need to be dead. Oh sorry, or dying - so mostly dead, but just a little bit alive." #justgamedevthings

Been diving into The Long Dark lately - idk if this is a shared experience but I can't just *enjoy* a game anymore. I've always gotta be studying it 🤔

But playing the Early Access demo vs what it is today was very cool. The core spirit is definitely there.

Today's progress: spending way too long animating a single basketball #justgamedevthings #indiedev #mggj11

Spend 8 hours automating a task which takes about 2 minutes.
But the satisfaction of pushing a commit, and it automatically builds and deploys an export on itch, is unmeasurable.

In working on #H3VR, I once had to calculate the amount of nutritive calories in an average American family. I now find myself doing similar calculations for @dunderbeckgame.com but for for horses and elephants...

In @dunderbeckgame.com, items have flavors. And some of those flavors will make you a little sick. Or a lot sick. (As the value increases, the likelihood of the character spewing after eating it also increases...)

That moment when you're pulled between prepping for a new campaign starting on tomorrow, working on a project with a deadline of Monday, or cleaning your house for an out-of-state visitor tomorrow. #JustWriterThings #JustGameDevThings

A simple options menu.

Today's progress: spending the whole day making an options menu and a simple export/import save feature, for what is essentially a short jam game that can be finished in like ~45 mins #JustGameDevThings #IndieDev

"Push the button."

Me: Well, if these big companies are going to ruin my ship to cancelled ratio, I will just have to ship more things than they can cancel.

Also me: Ooo I only have to work 4 days a week? What if I... worked a different job that's effectively the same thing on day 5 then? #JustGameDevThings

"Okay, so you're gonna submit, then I am going to sync, then move some asset packs, then delete ALL of those ones we don't think we're using then save and close and it will be fine right?"

"Right."

"This is gonna be a disaster!"

"Right."

*fry squint*

SON OF B-

Why yes, I did just realize the reason the thing I have been trying to do for the last two days wasn't working is because there were TWO actors on top of each other and I didn't realize the second one was even there or different.

*RAGE*
