it's pretty funny when AI guys think that they can make easy money by vibe coding their way into game dev in particular like, bestie nobody makes money here we just do it because we're sickos. if you're not a sicko you're not gonna last🦌blobun is on sale for a couple more days, so if you're gonna pick it up, you better go do it!! (or you can just wait until next time it's on sale)
this is a puzzle game where you have to touch every tile in a line, but we don't make it easy to just do that

🦨with fox stamps, our goal was to create a very accessible and customizable game focused solely on nonograms, and according to the feedback we've gotten so far, we big time cooked in this regard. thank you 🧡
🐿️fun fact: the background for the stage select and credits screens in fox stamps is just the same one as from cosmogelica's menu backgrounds but in HD
Fox Stamps' demo already has 5 reviews! if we get 10 reviews, (allegedly) this will tell steam that it's a real game and it'll show it more in algorithms and stuff (allegedly.) thank you for everyone's feedback so far!

🦨like yea, maybe it'll be a successful hail mary and everyone gives us money and we can make the rest of the game comfortably. but if they dont? then we got an obligation to finish a game we can't afford to (we'd still try anyways, we wanna see this game done, but it may be the last one for reals)
🦊Fox Stamps 0.3.3 has been released, which addresses many of the common issues and pain points that people had with the launch version. Everyone thank Coco for coming out with all these fixes in a single day
Here are the patch notes (build is on Steam too)

Replying to
🦨the main reason we're even thinking about the early access thing is because the nonogram system is largely done, and we just need to make the rest of the stuff, but if it goes nowhere and we end up not being able to finish the game, then that's even worse if we just didn't finish the game
Replying to
🦨that being said, it almost didn't get made and it may still not get made. blobun was almost our last game, but we decided to try one more time with a little nonogram game that has turned out to be way more complex to make and it's like, we're really not making money to be doing this

🐿️imagine if every time some chump was like "you should put AI in godot!" the godot guys could pull out a chart like this and go "yea no we're not doing that." Go fill out the survey and you can make it real (and also give Godot lots of other feedback too)
Replying to
🐿️a lot of people are sending messages to Godot to tell them how much they hate AI, but the correct thing to do would be to fill out the survey and put "I don't use AI, and I'm against it." That way when people bug Godot to put AI they can pull out a chart showing just how many people are against it

beast master? yea you'd have that if you did your level 54 warrior job quest

seems I've figured out everything and now not only is everything working, but it's also in a better place than it was before, so I win I guess??? still frustrating though, but at least we can work on the game againReplying to
🐿️oh yea and lest anyone wonder "but you're a gamemaker dev you have no say in this"
- we use godot sometimes and there's actually a fully playable prototype of fox stamps we made in it
- I also did fill out the survey, it's set up to allow people who don't use it much or don't use it at all
🦊Blobun is on sale on Steam and Itch for 40% off! If you missed your chance during the summer sale, here's the chance. Blobun is a casual puzzle game where you have to touch every tile. Check it out:

🐭we're gonna post a big post about how we made the logo soon (not today) but in the meantime I want you to know that yes, the word STAMPS is made of nonograms, and yes they're all logically solvable with only one solution

🐭we started a new kofi goal for August in the hopes that we can focus entirely on finishing our game's demo and not having to worry about bills. our entire income comes from people supporting online, so it's really appreciated!

🦨 if we ever get this steam page approved I'm gonna need you guys to all wishlist it as fast as possible to make up for the time it wasn't accessible
Replying to on chitter.xyz
I remember when riley wanted to make a quick lil script and was like "php would be the best fit for this but" and then remembered, linux, we just have php with no fuss
sometimes we forget we're running debian which is just ready any time of the day to do anything related to websitesReplying to
🦊lmao apparently it was from deviantart themselves? you really want us back that much huh
Replying to
🦨(on the real though that might be a funny option to put in, make one mistake and you lose)

🦨I think next time we make a game, instead of trying to launch the itch and steam pages together we'll just launch the itch page like we did before. as long as the page isn't up, we're not getting any attention on it and *also* are having to endure adhd "did they approve it yet? we'll wait"
got a couple bug reports, it seems when I fixed being able to break out of "line lock" mode when stopping moving with gamepad/dpad, I broke "line guard" not overwriting existing marks when you move one cell at a time (so not in a line.) since we found a few other bugs, we'll be updating tomorrow
🦊the longer you spend perfecting something you made, the less time you have to make something new that's even cooler
Replying to
🐭by the way, credit where credit is due, a lot of features of the game are our own implementations of the QoL features in Squeakross Home Squeak Home, so if you're like "wow I really want a nonogram game that plays like that RIGHT NOW" well you can have it LOL (but dont forget about ours too hehe)
🦊version 0.1.0 of Fox Stamps is out now for beta testers on Patreon/Kofi! Additionally, we're looking for people to participate in a small, closed beta test of the demo in our Discord chat. Please check out this post for more information, thank you!

Replying to
🦨we have now reached a difficult impasse, where continuing to develop this game may be beneficial to everyone as there's more accessible nonogram games for everyone, but at the same time, we may continue to see more messages on how we've created what is essentially a sham game that rips off success
🦊isn't that that guy who made a video about megaman X once?
🦊 gonna raise blobun to be $160 dollars and make it an AAAAAA game. what should we do with all those As?
🐭once we get this demo done and we have a bit, we may look at different distros. debian is nice and stable but we're getting pretty frustrated with how we can't use wayland because the nvidia drivers are from the 1700s so we're stuck with crusty X11
🪐roku updated the smart TV with some AI assistant and at the same time made the HDMIs show up in this order: 1 3 2
I guess that was better than what they're doing now though, where HDMI 2 just does not exist anymore and can only be accessed by using the physical buttons on the TV
me looking at our crafters gear in ffxiv: we need better gear... hmm... but what if I were to just craft the better gear?Replying to
🦨Our intention is not to steal or replace from Squeakross, and we know the devs and they've been cool about our game. We've hoped this would be a "two cakes" situation where people would want more nonogram games that are casual and approachable. However, not everyone seems to be on board
Replying to
🐿️since the demo and full game share save data and progression, it's gonna create this funny situation where people play the demo version of the game, get a bunch of achievements, then go to play the full version and get all those achievements again all at once. should save people time though
