merged my sims build mode thingy with my A* test. Really cool to see the two systems interact very well together. There's probably some edge cases but I'm pretty happy with this.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.

That's absolutely wild. 3 solo games and one collab later, here I am. Glad to make GameJolt my home!

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

Working on music and some background flair for my level in my game. In this level you explore underwater domes and glass pipes on the sea floor, with a neon bioluminescent aesthetic.

Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

Finished up my very primitive sims build/buy mode clone. Still a bit rough, a lot I could add/improve. But for a couple days of work, not bad. Would be awesome for some kind of management game. I had to refactor this like 5 times, it was awful.

Experimenting more with the level theme, thinking about this neon bioluminescent-esque theme, rather than dark/gritty/industrial like I was thinking.

finally got the spherical gravity zones mostly working. They don't seem to work that well with non-putters, even putters arc very high. I've checked all my calculations nothing is wrong. At least there's no drifting anymore.
