Week in Review #6: Choosing a new project
What's next? What's next?
What's next? What's next?
I finished my jam game! You can play Loose Leaf on Itch now. It's really really short, but I think it came out pretty nice. I learned a lot and I'm excited to do this again sometime soon.
The biggest thing I learned coming out of this is that I want more robust editing tools next time. Drawing maps in aseprite worked, but the back-and-forth between the visuals in the editor, the collision data also in the editor, and additional metadata in text-based config files was really inelegant. Next time I'll find a better way to be able to transition between these sources, and also to blend procedural art with manual tweaks.
Jam's almost done.
Bigmode Game Jam 2026 is upon us!
I am totally fine though
Learning to like the Camp Snap camera
Oh you didn't think we could do it again?
What if the "sorry I haven't posted much" posts could last the whole year?
I like this 2026 project by Ramsey Nasser: "A daily journal. One word, one link a day." I keep a daily journal in Obsidian that I don't write in much, but at the very least I'll always write a little one-line summary each day. It's nice to pull all those summaries together into one big list at the end of the year.
I am designing a new live stage show. I'm not sure exactly what it is yet, but I'm thinking about it with you, okay?
