a story in two parts: you cannot hurt me. I am a strong person. I am beyond your slings and arro-

truly, we would not be doing this stuff if we weren't sickos for gamedev :P

@keely-brown.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 1:31 PM

I can't stress how excited I will be to move on to a new project where I can play the role of naive lil guy making stuff that the me-in-two-years will be mad about having to deal with later.

gamedev sounds like it's gonna be making cool mechanics and fun stuff nobody tells you that it's also going to be -swapping in a new font for 2 hours -figuring out if you can delete an object in your hierarchy (you can't) -testing the same thing 50 times to fix a bug

@keely-brown.bsky.socialSep 27, 2026, 1:55 PM

heck, I hate that feeling. hope it holds out as long as you need it to

I've never had much luck promoting my game on social media, but it would be deeply appreciated if you could share this post, especially if you enjoy weird little experimental and artsy narrative games, that are the same price as a cup of coffee!

yeah, variable name length might be a factor too lol I have a bad habit of making big variable names q_q

I think it's probably worth being mindful of how much of a toll it can take on your body physically to manually type out every letter in your code. As someone who tends not to rely on autocomplete as much as I should - I have had days where I've had to stop coding because of strain on my hands.

@keely-brown.bsky.socialSep 7, 2026, 5:18 PM

this is super real lol

playtest today went super well which is pretty nifty because there had been probably 3-4 weeks where I was feeling really stuck in the mud on this revamp.

Live footage from the scene:

It's a screenshot showing that there's 1 message written to the console, 107 warnings and 199 errors. This is a lot of errors. Also a lot of warnings, but that's okay the warnings are probably not a big deal I think/I hope.

stay tuned for more updates this is a developing story

hey folks, here's a visualization of me destroying my code today: πŸ’ΎπŸ”«πŸ˜ 

@keely-brown.bsky.socialAug 31, 2026, 6:17 PM

yooo! thank you (: super appreciate that! the demo is basically the full game leading up to release so if you want to try it out, it's basically the game just not done yet lol

@keely-brown.bsky.socialAug 31, 2026, 6:16 PM

Any chance you might be interested in some bird-related games for the streams? πŸ‘€
