introduction

Having trouble working on our jam project, taking a small break to write a post and eject random thoughts from my overloaded mind. No order or quality standard on this one, and you can expect the same from all (if any) my future timestamped posts.

premier paragraphe

Sound overall seems to be misused in most indie games. Most of the time, SFXs and music are used to complement the rest of the game's elements, most often gameplay. Games with amazing, strange or skilled sound design are rarer than I wish they would be, and there is no good way to find the games that could meet these criteria due to the lack of useful categorizations in the game space.

deuxième paragraphe

The three games I made for the 000 series in 2022 are among my favorite creations of the year.

000 is weird and experimental, even though I made it myself with time passing by I appreciate more and more it's small detail.
001 was born out of a want to make a platformer with unconventional game mechanics and no juice bullshit I would like to play. That's the pitch for a lot of my unreleased platformers, but this is the first one I actually release to the world thanks to the schedule. So hey, that's cool?
002... I needed to make 002 more than I wanted to.

troisième paragraphe

I will start needing money to survive very soon. The thing I'm the most skilled at is making games, however I don't want to commercialize it. It repulses me to think about it. I don't know what to do. I'm considering selling games by dozen, like albums or mixtapes in music, with a physical release and a way to play for free. However I have nearly no online social presence, and no effective way to market. Making the collection free seems obvious to me. I don't know what to do.

quatrième paragraphe

Haven't cleaned my freaking apartment. It's getting hard to live. Whatever. There is worse problems, I'll have to clean by the end of the week anyway. Delay the inevitable as they don't say.

conclusion

I'm trying to become the change I want to see. I don't think it's gonna be enough though.

See you whenever. I have two games to make this week.
