HAPPY NEW YEAR #2025!!!

This was for sure a year huh... It quite went pretty fast honestly, but still memorable in many ways!

I didn't got to do what I wanted in 2024: Finishing my dream games, but maybe this year!

Feliz ano novo! (GMT +0/Lisbon timezone)


My plans for this new year

Since I didn't do much in 2024, here's my plans for 2025:

  • Release at least 2 of my games that I got to work on (Dragoon Woosh and Kumper Socks);

  • Start working on my big 2 dream games (Time Tomias and Excalinine);

  • Actually lock in and work on the Time Tomias pilot, since it's for my last ever school project that will determine if I can finish highschool and move on. (And once everything's done, I'll be able to finally share it and then I'll have to do an english dub);

  • Try to adapt to an actual 3D engine so I can actually work on Excalinine (if not, I'll just stick to Turbowarp's 3D extension, but it won't be easy...);

#Devruary

I always liked videogames, and as a kid I always wanted to make my own because creating stuff was my thing, so I started out with Scratch when I was in 3th grade and I'm now working on a GameBoy game! (I experiment with other game engines too)

#Devruary Double tap to sprint.

It's very simple, but on the engine I'm using I took a month just to get it to work at all (then I got burned out), now I'm trying to make it work right and it's probably the most puzzling thing I've coded so far

(Read )

#Devruary Sidetracking between different projects at once!

I had this bad habit for a very long time, I'd be working on a game and then weeks later I'd be working on another game at the same time, and then leave the other game abandoned and so on.

The frontpage!

Many stuff can get frontpaged, like art, creations, and even simple text posts!

Please note that the frontpage is simply a spotlight to bring attention to posts. Do not feel unmotivated if you don't get frontpaged!

#Devruary having to deal with bugs while having no idea how to fix them (then you get stuck and leave the project for 2 months until you randomly unlock the solution for it and come back)

I rewrote a script many times now and the bug keeps getting worse

#Devruary KoGaMa! I always spent my time in there making my own maps and my avatars (skins) to then play on other user created maps, this idea of creating stuff that then you and others can play on it stuck with me and that's how I wanted to make games.

#Devruary I'm using GB Studio!

It's an engine for developing games for the Gameboy (DMG & Colour) systems. (Many devs got to put their games on cartidges and play them on the actual consoles!)

It's block coding based so it's very easy to get the hang of.

DRAGÃO!

Starting to get used to colour values, I tried applying them especially for the fog effect to give a sense of distance.
