Hero-U's been patched for the first time in a few months! It's now playable in French, with German coming soon.

Can anyone name an SFF book where *at least* the four most important characters are female? (Dealing with Dragons is the closest I can think of.)

I am *slowly* retiring this account in favor of a self-hosted pleroma instance. This will probably turn into mostly crossposting screenshots and game relase-type announcements.

Adding more variety for expressions to the script authoring tool for #SummerDaze #indiegame #creativetoots.

So um Ken Williams decided to write a book during the pandemic. https://kensbook.com/ #Sierra #gamedev

I'm still pretty disgusted with what Google clearly thinks games "should" be about, when in theory, mobile should be a good platform for narrative games.

Oh, wow. Google Play blocked a game about surviving World War II for Nazi references. That's kind of missing the point.

Seriously considering changing the "location" field in my bio to "the remote wetlands of the USA" rather than guessing which cities in Central Florida have name recognition outside the immediate environs.

#AGS ran in Wine at one point, right? Or had a workable GNU/Linux port? (Trying to compare how various adventure game engines handles cursor cycling, and managed to waste an hour getting nowhere.)

Doing more background art over the weekend for #ChosenOne. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #creativetoots

Doing solo projects is fun, rather than just being the programmer. I would like to do more of them. Doing the music was a *lot* of fun. But figuring out lifehacks for hypermobile shoulders is harder for drawing than typing.

I'm working on the full version of the game jam game, but it's on hold until I can get my shoulders stabilized. (Am frustrating that even after promising myself "no more that 15 minutes per art asset" and fairly draconian pacing rules, I still injured myself.)

Frustrating #EDS thing: dislocating my shoulders while doing illustrations for a gamejam two months ago, because apparently my body is stabilized enough for some tasks but not others.

(This requires 12 weeks of physical therapy to fix, so... >_> )

I was interviewed by the Classic Gamer Guild Podcast about Hero-U, Summer Daze, and #adventuregames in general.
