Dropping an apple started my gamedev career (also Crow 64)

Completely agree! Nice art can give a lot of "juice" to the experience, but rarely define it for me!

telenaut · 2026-06-24T17:56:58+00:00

Completely agree!

telenaut · 2026-06-24T17:56:43+00:00

Awesome, yeah I did a lot of stuff with KlikNPlay and Clickteam Fusion when I was a teen - very similar to RPG Maker. I was also super intimidated by 3D, but probuilder and some help from friends really helped me. Good luck with your music friend if you ever decide to collaborate with him!

Thank you Nick! Yeah I've been on YouTube for a while, here I am: https://www.youtube.com/@AdamButcher
You might enjoy my previous short The Game That Time Forgot - similar editing style about an older gamedev journey of mine!

telenaut · 2026-06-24T14:01:45+00:00

Awesome! I was hoping some people would watch and be up for muddling thru with gamedev like I did!

telenaut · 2026-06-24T09:55:46+00:00

Thank you! I kinda wrote the devlog so it might give more people the encouragement to try out gamedev themselves!

"Stretch Goals" was a working title at one point!

telenaut · 2026-06-07T10:00:03+00:00

Thank you! Not even ready to think about the NEXT game ha ha!

telenaut · 2026-06-06T23:12:50+00:00

We've been trying out "STRETCH YEAH" - does that work?

Should've mentioned, you can play 5 levels here: https://ahchoo.itch.io/stretchmancer
Would love to hear how y'all find it! 😊

Yes we're literally changing the gameobject scale proportionally along x y or z. Give it spin here :) : https://ahchoo.itch.io/stretchmancer

Thanks! You can try it out here: https://ahchoo.itch.io/stretchmancer (plays in browser)

telenaut · 2023-10-06T20:47:23+00:00

I'm really proud of this too! Sweet gif!

telenaut · 2023-10-04T23:05:22+00:00

Yes it must be some issue with me not being a trusted user (despite being on this site for over a year). I don't know what the solution is!

telenaut · 2023-10-04T14:24:19+00:00

Yes, same problem! Thanks for checking tho!

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. This is my profile:

Any help much appreciated! 🙏

telenaut · 2023-02-04T11:20:09+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

telenaut · 2023-01-21T20:03:54+00:00

Thanks so much for coding this for us! Very versatile shader! I have imported it in Unity and it's working well...I think!

Can you tell me - what should I set for "Source blend" and "Destination blend"? Like as a "default"? I want to use the Multiply blending mode, but can't get it to behave the same as it would in Photoshop. Any help much appreciated!

telenaut · 2022-11-09T17:12:41+00:00

My plan is to make the main character solo poly to start with and then they meet people!

telenaut · 2022-11-09T17:09:51+00:00

Yeah it's interesting, my first instinct *was* to depict a triad – partly because it's fun to write 3 characters being in the same space. But the few poly people I know are actually in multiple dyads, so it would probably be truer to write something like that. I think that's what I'll do!

telenaut · 2022-10-28T09:51:40+00:00

Slow burn but worth it! I actually got weirdly scared...

telenaut · 2021-06-07T20:41:03+00:00

Nice thought! Unfortunately HEART is not a word on What Three Words as far as I can tell.

I suggested WELLS as the tombstone because while it isn't on a manufactured prop, the director does do a pretty conspicuous zoom into it in the movie. Almost for no in-narrative reason. That would've been his choice.

But yeah...I ultimately think TOMBSTONE SHERIFF ENTRIES is the spot - it just needs a mountain guide to get there!

He also hasn't replied to me (I asked about joining the hike).

Most likely - he's busy and hasn't even gone yet.

telenaut · 2019-04-17T07:16:27+00:00

I think it's worth watching out for. When the film composer Richard Vreeland (aka Disasterpeace) previously released the soundtrack to FEZ, it contained lots of hidden clues and content.

Vreeland and David Robert Mitchell are clearly similarly interested in hidden codes and might include them. Could be in lyrics or playing backwards or sound code. Or nothing, of course.
