#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)


The game I'm working on

That Gameboy game in question is "Koppy Kopsocks", I've been working on since 2024 (plus a prototype on Scratch I did in very very late 2023).

The current development on it is quite slow paced, there's moments where I release 5 updates in one month and others where I release 1 update in 5 months, although I'm confident that I'll be able to finish at least the final Demo this year. (Check this post's article.)

I also have other ideas for other game projects. I use GameJolt and Itch io to host the game (and Newgrounds if the game is stable and playable enough) and post devlogs on those places and on YouTube as well.

Scratch legacy

I discovered Scratch on school on an IT class thing in 3rd grade (it wasn't an actual subject, just a temporary programme), but we had to do the tasks in groups, and me & my friends would be always grouped with this kid that wouldn't let us do much (another reason why I always hated group projects), so I started using Scratch as a hobby at home & the school libraries in later years until I reached a point where I felt too limited by its limitations, and I wasn't a big fan of "Remix culture" and the Creative Commons license thing (found out about it the hard way, basically all your projects there automatically have this license, meaning that ANYONE can just pick your project and profit off it in other platforms).

I had hundreds of accounts (because you can't change your username and I just happened to always pick the most cringiest horrible usernames known to man), but my most recent is where I started my "jackalocked" identity. I don't use scratch anymore so I probably won't make any more projects in there.

"Lobo"

Probably the longest I've ever spent on an art piece like ever (~6h 40min!!!)

Updating the menus!

- The menu (after the title screen) now has a background (I'll still mess with the colours) & plays music (that is the same as the title but with only the wave and noise channels active).

- Navigation in the menu is also better now.

#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

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

My first shot at a webcomic! Starting simple and small.

Lunch break!

#Devruary (day 19):

I always get burnt out when I spend too long trying to fix one issue/bug knowing that I got many more to fix, so I usually just work on smaller stuff in the game and later come back to that big issue (also motivation).

The Knightling launches on August 28! Wishlist it now so you don't miss out: https://bit.ly/KnightlingSteam

To celebrate the game's impending release, we've added The Knightling Pack and The Knightling Community Pack back to the Shop!

DRAGÃO!

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