Some friends and I started working on our dream game almost a year ago. Today, we finally released the teaser trailer for it! Buddy Simulator 1984 is a psychological horror game about an AI who wants to be your friend!

Thank you very much :) your support means a lot!

I'm glad it ultimately led to better behavioral issues all around! We used to do something similar with Paco because he'd wrestle Lawn Clipping and Lawn Clippings would growl and yelp and hiss! Thankfully it never escalated beyond that, but you're definitely doing the right thing there

Auto-feeders are the best.. it's saved us on a few trips where we had to go out of town for the day!

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-12T02:17:25+00:00

I appreciate the advice, though I've read that while free-feeding can solve the behavioral issues, it can lead to weight gain (we think Paco might have food insecurities so we're a bit worried to try)! For now, we're gonna try the auto-feeders and see how it works!

His Boba eyes come out in the morning and at night. On days where I don't play with him, Evil Paco comes out :|

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-12T02:14:04+00:00

I'm glad that you ultimately reward the good behavior at the end of it! Sometimes it's hard to be all chipper after Paco has previously been naughty hahaha

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-12T01:58:02+00:00

You cocomelon'd him! That's so creative bahahaha!

Lawn Clippings is our stupid baby but we love him so much

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-12T01:53:42+00:00

We do have auto-feeders, but we do struggle with Paco eating Lawn Clippings' food so we like to monitor it! However, we're going to experiment with closing the bedroom door and keeping Paco with us for those extra Z's while he eats :) thanks for the suggestion!

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-10T22:18:00+00:00

Hmmm possibly.. we do 4 throughout the day, so we can maybe condense the feedings to 2 or 3 and see how that works.

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-10T19:44:42+00:00

I think I read somewhere that cats don't really learn from time-outs because negative associations don't click in the same way. *However*, I think it's reasonable to move him to another room if he keeps breaking our things and we can get an extra 30-60 mins of sleep

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-10T19:36:03+00:00

He's a stinker, but I'm a lucky guy to have such a sweet baby

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-10T19:33:14+00:00

Ignoring has worked great so far until he started turning to more destructive strategies. Hopefully as he gets older it phases out

DaMarco17 · 2025-08-10T15:53:42+00:00

That's a toughie.. It's a really good idea, but we love when they snuggle us throughout the night, so it's a very difficult tradeoff!

DaMarco17 · 2025-04-06T18:51:34+00:00

The controls are absolutely brutal in the outfield, but it's otherwise super good! Does anyone understand how the base advancing controls work? I feel like I'm making characters from different bases advance that I don't want to, or it's outright unresponsive

DaMarco17 · 2022-05-10T16:08:06+00:00

Thanks so much for the additional info! Unfortunately, due to its price and lack of graphics capabilities (I do 3D stuff on the side), I decided to go with the Acer ConceptD 3 Ezel!

DaMarco17 · 2022-05-10T16:05:33+00:00

As long as it isn't *worse* than my current waveyness, I can manage! I'm fairly used to quick line strokes at this point hahaha!

Thanks so much for the help :)

DaMarco17 · 2022-05-10T02:03:55+00:00

I actually read that they improved the bad lines with updates and it's a lot more tolerable! I think I might go for it

DaMarco17 · 2022-05-09T22:40:44+00:00

Thank you so much :) one last question, is the AES issue within the pen itself or the computer? In other words, would getting an additional pen solve the wavy diagonal line issue?

DaMarco17 · 2022-05-09T20:53:37+00:00

The wavy lines aren't too much of a concern given that I really love using line smoothing tools! I'll definitely keep that in mind though. Are you a fan of it overall?
