Hopefully I'll be in a place where I can enjoy modding #KitsuneTails after playing it, and finally get to scratch that particular platformer itch. 🦊 💜

nostr:npub1znzvfaq0hzhrnn4ef5pgnkntkt0aasqmym86tl64t94gtlakalcs978l64 I weirdly really enjoy manuals, especially if they are pdf rather than HTML. There's something about having an actual pseudo-book which feels so cool for some reason.

nostr:npub1u8t0xtq88jk72eu6mxq86p9697ww8rk3xtygqfs7kkgx56cgjlvsrs5fk9 I get it, I really enjoy writing documentation. It's like tidying up but also you get to show off the cool stuff you made

I actually came up with a neat trick today. You know those moving platforms in SMB1? They kinda sway back and forth in a smooth motion, so no abrupt stops at the edges

Well, I'd already added moving platforms that can move in a sort of quarter sphere motion, and I figured out if I create a platform that goes around in a circle, then flatten the path horizontally or vertically, it behaves the same as those smooth platforms in SMB :D

nostr:npub1t0xh9y3rhlvel663r36me3agdrqwzrwmxasp7qck9f52q04ft77qgpswkd to be fair all the map editing stuff I'm doing is initially for the level designers, including the documentation. So at least it's not a waste of effort >_>

nostr:npub1w5s5yku4lge2gy227dm564c8n7age0dhw79sukkxdqz3z44lencq09etnc everyone thinks being a creative director is great cause you just come up with ideas and then tell people what to do. They don't think about the fact that you need to come up with *all* the stuff nobody else wants to bother figuring out, and that sometimes you have to tell people to do things they may not fully agree with, and somehow you have to navigate that in a way that doesn't completely destroys morale

nostr:npub1znzvfaq0hzhrnn4ef5pgnkntkt0aasqmym86tl64t94gtlakalcs978l64 feel the same way, kind of building my entire game around the idea that people will like it enough to mod it lol

nostr:npub1t0xh9y3rhlvel663r36me3agdrqwzrwmxasp7qck9f52q04ft77qgpswkd it's a pretty big risk since if few people play it nobody's gonna mod it 🙃

Oh goodie it's 27C past midnight i guess we're in our 4th heatwave in 5 weeks 🙃

in other news, the #KitsuneTails map editing guide is now 19 pages long >_> and yes, i am planning to release that along with some other files to make it possible to create your own maps in Tiled Map Editor on PC

a lot of people are suggesting i cut the alarm clock open but given that i dont know the location of the battery that makes me very nervous, as far as i know you don't exactly wanna perforate a lithium ion battery

nostr:npub1znzvfaq0hzhrnn4ef5pgnkntkt0aasqmym86tl64t94gtlakalcs978l64 At that point I'd try to open it "with any means" to see if really the battery cannot be replaced.

nostr:npub194w84av4ufvtn7ekqehzs2c0td9aeen0t45lqpjwm5sfuap3t6xq8rtyna i dont know where the battery is and i dont really wanna risk puncturing it :/

so my busted alarm clock has a lithium ion battery in it. it cannot be opened to extract the battery. i am now the owner of a busted alarm clock because i cant throw it out because they stuck a li-ion battery in there when some AA batteries would've sufficed as a backup

this is the worst

I wonder what day it is

I want to touch the beans
