Important Announcement to anyone working on a project even somewhat seriously:

USE CLOUD VERSION CONTROL!

Even if you just occasionally dump the files into Google Drive, do something!


I just read another heartbreaking case of someone losing everything to drive corruption.

It's best to have at least one cloud backup and also external drive backups if you can.

I used to just use Google Drive, but now I use GitHub Desktop. It's pretty straightforward to get the basics working which is all I'm using even now. After this I'm probably going to add a copy of my projects to an external drive for extra peace of mind.

Also, if this has happened to you, then there may still be ways for you to to recover the data, though I don't know much about that.

This post is very different from my typical Blooming Darkness updates, but these stories always feel like a gut punch.

I updated the banner for my game! It's based off one of the first original pixel art pieces I ever drew (2nd picture).

Art isn't an area I'm strong in, so I'm pretty happy with this! Well, for now at least.

I added a shield throw ability to the game. No indication yet, but it does more damage the more it bounces. I hope your trick shots are on point!
