Not dumb at all, and honestly I might even try it myself. And yes, you're absolutely right about us being our own worst enemies.

It's difficult sometimes, yeah. I never give up on myself despite that, though. I'm too stubborn.

Thank you! πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€— 8000 hugs for you, too. :)

Thanks a lot, Poulet. I really appreciate it. πŸ«‚

Lately it's been helpful to write my feelings out, and it's also nice to know my thoughts are being heard (or read in this case).

I know I'll get through this eventually. It just sucks, ya know? It's also kind of embarrassing to share my thoughts so openly like this, but it feels better than keeping them locked away.

This was fun, and I like that there are multiple endings! Now I wanna bake cookies in real life, though preferably with a recipe that I can look at for more than a few seconds! πŸ˜‹

I wish my games would turn out even half as good as yours... πŸ˜…

Well done as always, Knifish!

I played this yesterday, but didn't know what to comment...

So how about I just spam a bunch of hug emojis?

πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Awesome! Looking forward to it! πŸ™Œ

Just droppin by to say hi and help build hype for the jam.

NEW GAME JAM LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒ

That was fun! The underwater setting was a cool idea, and I liked seeing all the different kinds of fish swimming around. 🐟🐠🐑

Good job, padadu! πŸ‘

You're correct, and I'm also glad about that. 😊 Yup yup! The jam version will only be a demo, since I don't have enough time to finish it this month, but development will continue until it's complete. πŸ’―

Hmm... what about a game where you run a chicken shop? Or maybe a game where you're a chicken crossing the road? Or a chicken dating sim? A chicken life simulator perhaps? Obviously I won't play it if it doesn't follow the chicken theme. 😏

It's gonna be the WEIRDEST of the three games for sure! Probably the least polished at this rate, too. πŸ˜… I'll just be glad to have something to submit, ya know? It's been a while since I last participated in one of Ash's jams.

Yes, I'm busy busy busy this month! That's good, cuz the submission for the unoriginal jam is the one I'm most excited for. 😁

Yay! πŸ™Œ I can't stop, my brain is just too big. 🧠 Awesome, I'm glad I could convince you! I'm sure you'll come up with something super cool. πŸ˜Ž

Neither can I! πŸ˜† I still need to figure out what it's all about myself, but maybe this is a game that's all about interpretation... so it's not stupid, it's just artistic... yeah, let's go with that! πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ¨

Glad to hear it (besides the heat of course)! I'm doing very well, thanks!

Two of the games will be kinda low effort (and hopefully entertaining), but I'm most excited for the third one, which might be my favourite thing I've made in RPG in a Box so far! πŸ™Œ Yes, one of them is Ash's jam, then there's the SUMMER SPLASH GAME JAM 24 and Flasholotl's "Unoriginal" game jam - 2024 (then possibly the Spooktober 6th Annual Visual Novel Jam next month).

That should be interesting! I'll happily check out your Godot experiments whenever you release them. Boooooo! I demand a Poulet jam submission! You don't always have to submit a finished game, you know. Ash encourages everyone to submit things, even if they're just demos or proof of concepts. Obviously I'm not gonna twist your arm about it if you'd rather not participate, but as a fellow believer in the philosophy of 'better to submit something than nothing at all', I feel compelled to make a small attempt to convince you.

Besides, it's not like my Bakin game is gonna be amazing or anything. Honestly it's kinda stupid, but I'm gonna submit it regardless and NOBODY CAN STOP ME! πŸ€ͺ Well... I guess technically Ash could stop me, but he probably won't.

Awesome, thanks!

Can I do a remake of The Witch's House or would that be considered too violent for this jam?

If blood and gore is the main issue, then I can exclude that altogether without losing much of the game's integrity, provided that the death animations can still exist in some form. Also if dark themes are a problem, I could probably come up with some workarounds for that, too.

I REALLY wanna remake this game, so I'd even be willing to create a completely family-friendly version if I have to. πŸ˜…

I've officially given up on trying to make a good game, so expect a pile of epic brainrot instead. πŸ₯΄

Yup! At some point I'll probably replace the battery and become a Tamagotchi father once again. 😁 Ah but I suppose if game dev were that easy, everybody could do it and we wouldn't feel as special. 😎

True, and I might be too lazy to figure it out for a jam game. πŸ€” At least we make stuff sometimes, right? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Well thank you! I'm glad you think so. I just wish I could make pixel art faster, though. Speed is my biggest weakness as a dev in general. πŸ˜” Polish & presentation are both things that you inspire me to work on as well. πŸ’―

You're right (and me too I guess πŸ˜…)! I won't give up, and as a matter of fact, I came up with an idea today that I really want to do! 🧠 That's a good idea in general, actually! It's helpful just to start up the software sometimes. As for the virtual whip... 😰 That hopefully won't be necessary...

Good to hear! Chickens shouldn't be stressed like that. πŸ˜‡

Yes, I used to spend a lot of time taking care of my Tamagotchi (and cleaning up its poop πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©). I still have it too! πŸ‘Ύ Maybe you're right... pancakes are very important to me after all, so a game about them has to be just as good. πŸ˜‹ That would be awesome! If imagining was all I needed to do, I'd make so many more games! And yes, they'd be more chaotic for sure. 😁

Maybe my jam game should be a game where you play fetch with a dog by throwing a pancake to him. πŸ₯ I'd love to be better at both pixel art and 3D modelling, but I'm too lazy to do either most of the time... so yeah, like you said, that makes it difficult. 😩

That's okay! We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush. Reducing the scope is always helpful with jam submissions. No progress yet... I keep procrastinating and wondering if I'll even submit anything at this rate. πŸ˜“

No problem! We all have weeks like that. I figured you'd reply whenever you could. 😊 Hopefully things are settling down for you now, yes?

That'd be cute! I'd love to make a Tamagotchi game like that. Pancakes are versatile indeed, which begs the question why I haven't made more games about them... πŸ€” Occasional lapses in focus/patience is probably the main reason. πŸ˜“ I wish games were easier to make sometimes!

Yes, he's the bestest boi! If that model had more animations, it'd be fun to make a fetch minigame or something. Oh well. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ (though it might be kinda funny to have the dog run around without the correct animation anyway 🀭)

Have you done any work on your Bakin game so far?

Well, I guess I am a pro baker then! πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ I hope you're right, cuz I don't like being uninspired for too long! 😀 It doesn't take much to please this pancake lord... pancakes usually do the trick. Well, I'm thinking my game should be all about pancakes! Maybe it should be a pancake puzzle game? πŸ€”

I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for your review. πŸ₯° Hopefully I can continue its development soon.

Not only are these chicken chats a good way to pass the time, but they're helpful for inspiration, too! 🧠

I can't stay friends with other pancakes for that same reason. πŸ˜‹

So far I've made 5 different projects in Bakin (The AmalgamPieninsula, The Easter Bunny Has A Problem!The Labyrinth of Mushmush, RPS Battle System, & 2 Bees in a Pot) but I donno if that makes me a pro Bakin baker or not. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Nope, no idea what to make right now... πŸ˜… That sounds cool! And I highly approve of your pancake-oriented side quest. Maybe I need pancakes in my submission, too... πŸ€”

Excellent! I look forward to hearing what you think! 😁 Me too! And I'm also eager to see what you make in the future!

We'll probably be chatting for a while at this rate. Gotta fill in the time between the games we make, ya know?

That's so sweet! And you're my favourite chicken! πŸ” Does this mean you know other pancakes, though? πŸ€” I've met other chickens, but most of them don't talk much.

I was hoping you would, cuz I'm really interested to see what you make using Bakin... πŸ‘€ How much have you used the engine so far? As for me, I'll just be happy if I submit anything at all. πŸ€·β€β™‚️ You're right though. Just gotta stay focussed and get it done!

Thank you! Hopefully the game retains its charm in the future updates (so far so good I think). 😊 Yes, I'd appreciate that immensely! If you liked SSMPC, then I'm sure you'd like MLDA, too! It has more potential narratively than the majority of my games, and writing dialogue/storytelling is something I want to improve on.

At this point I mostly make these posts as an excuse to chat with ya. πŸ€ͺ
