I'll be putting up some devlog snippets into my ko-fi later. Right now, I wanna relax and take a break by playing some games again. I'm missin out on FFXIV benchmark stuff and the Rotwood launch!!

Here's my first ever Game Jam project! This is the submission page for it. And heck, look at what others have made for Gamedev.js Jam too! You might find some fun, fresh browser games out of it. (Voting's open!)

Maybe I'll be able to work on a more complete build of this game in the future and get my programming friend on board. He unfortunately has a lot going on irl and couldn't team up with me for the game jam period. So, I did what I could solo here!

some loser: humans are innately selfish creatures

my psych book:

#I've always hated being taught that we're innately 'sinful' and horrible beings (grew up in Christian and Fundie environments) #it was so bad for my mental health and gave me reasons to always hate myself instead of love #we have goodness and don't need a religion or god to be good people #gimme the refreshing juice of empathy and kindness being a born trait of humans and other species... #look at all the archeological records of pre-homosapien and early homosapien groups looking after the injured!! #they didn't leave the injured to die! #humanity #animals #science

I can finally start on the sprite sheets (after sleepy bed time). Mechanical animations and action states are mostly done. Done enough to get sprites in there and then finish off the code from that point on.

4 days left for the jam to be open to submissions... -sweats-

#no worries I have experience with sprite sheets and making them time efficient sdfsdf #I just hope I can get 'em done in a day or two so I have time to implement them on the programming side #and then I can quickly find and grab open source music and sfx to suit it... #wk speaks #game development #dev log #once I'm done btw I'll be showing how the progress went from my pieces of records and speed concepts! #they're staying secret until it's done

Sadly my buddy's not feelin well and has some other stuff going on during this time, so I'm gonna solo the game jam!

The theme got announced today, and I'm gonna start my brainstorming and planning. I wonder what I can make in two weeks...

Here's my itch.io, btw!

I'm gonna do it. Gonna go for it...

I've spotted a Game Jam that looks interesting to me and isn't some crazy like, 1 - 3 day deadline. It's welcoming beginner game devs too.

So I'll give it a go! My first game jam yEAAAHHH!

Best of all, I'm gonna team up with a programming buddy of mine who also hopes to make a custom song or two for it. Crossing my fingers. 🤞

The jam has yet to begin, let alone reveal its theme. But I've got the countdown open until then...

Don't really care for prizes or winning either. I just need opportunities to experience these game jams I hear about so much, and use it to learn more too!

OK. . . seems i missed the whole 'chickens are controversial in splatoon' thing. . . why?

To put it short there's evidence both for and against them existing, and this is without me actually looking anything up so i might be missing something.

cases for chickens being extant: there's been chickens present in SOME form in several splatfests, they're not mammals so they're not NECESSARILY extinct, despite being domesticated animals and thus being unlikely to survive it doesn't mean it'd be IMPOSSIBLE because pigeons and other relatively human-dependent birds still survive in Splatoon, and of course there are many instances of Eggs being a staple in inkling culinary culture. egg is everywhere

cases for chickens being extinct: we only actually See chickens (or chicken, as in food) in splatfest art and splatfest dialogue which isn't (or at least definitely wasn't until Splatoon 3) canon-compliant at all. We havent actually seen chickens in-universe to my knowledge, nor had them mentioned outside splatfest. probably the biggest nail in the coffin is that there IS a chicken statue in Splatsville, and typically when there are big animal statues in the cities those are statues depicting extinct animals. this is something from an interview that touched on the crane and tortoise statues in Inkopolis Square; which also confirms that it wasn't JUST MAMMALS that suffered and went extinct, it was also other miscellaneous land animals and even random birds which I think me and initially a lot of other people thought were just. Fine and safe. But if a random bird like a crane can be extinct now then chickens are absolutely not safe just because they're not mammals. although eggs are in like every food it's not really been confirmed in any way that those are CHICKEN eggs (although that is the most likely), they could as well be farming domesticated pigeons or something

So really it's a big case of no real confirmation they DO exist, but also no real confirmation they DON'T exist, but also the only context we see them in-universe is in a context where every other animal depicted there IS extinct and it's like a lore thing. So the existence of eggs is a big hint TOWARDS them existing but could easily mean nothing whereas the other one is more in line with proving they do not exist. it is a very uncertain situation for the chicken

HOWEVER!!!!!! there is hope for the chicken. splatfests in Splatoon 3 have had more in-universe accurate themes and dialogue so far (meaning they dont randomly make up shit like "marina's landlord is a narwhal" and "inklings eat red meat" or whatever the fuck in that sea food vs mountain food one we didnt even have that one it was regional). SO THIS MEANS! in the next splatfest we Could get a somewhat stable answer to if chickens exist or not. of course the other 2 options are extinct animals whereas the chicken is 50/50. i'm HOPING the dialogue touches upon this fact and doesn't just talk about all of those like they just Exist. basically we are very close to some kind of progress on this issue that would be Somewhat credible because while splatfest dialogue has never been a credible source in the past, it has been WAY better in S3

TL;DR we just don't know. Chickens are a mystery

#also I'm about to share some backstage stuff on my ko-fi for a game-making template I made for myself to practice on! #idk if it'll be what I use in the game jam - it's a more specific template #so it'll depend on what my buddy and I decide we wanna do! #gif #programming #javascript #wk speaks #game development #indie games #game jam #itch.io #(oh yeah I gotta remember to actually make an itch.io account before the jam... I'll get on that tonight)

So I did the Hackless way of using the Pretendo servers, so if you're on it and see PrimsaCLR, that's me :>

Though if you do it this way you will have to start the game over since you're using a new account.

Wow even Miiverse is working again. Tbh the servers feel smoother now than they did when Nintendo ran em XD

reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . they’re both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney

#getting to the part where Musk says 'Ben Body' instead of 'Ben Brody' killed me #elon musk #alex jones #rich idiot #rich people #lawsuits #law #mark bankston #a legend... a hero....

In the absence of dogs, what cow breed do you think would make good guard dog substitutez?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i dont think cattle would do very good at guarding things woops ! theyre prey animals and they dont really have like.. guarding instincts like a dawggy does!

although fun fact.. did you know that donkeys are sometimes used as livestock guardian animals to protect sheep and cows!

i looovveeeeeeeeee guardian animals i think its so funny. donkeys are used for bigger livestock but for chickens and ducks .. people use geese!!!!! its so funny like. let me get one animal thats kinda like you but kills for fun. hes your dad now.

#the donkey buses are so cute I'm gonna cry #animals #donkeys #sheep

Been really digging Frank's Laboratory on Youtube for JavaScript + Canvas tutorials since coming across him this past week. He keeps everything clear and shows patience for beginners. It's really been keeping me motivated to learn game dev in JS too! My dream...

#he goes through each thing and intentionally puts in mistakes to show how to troubleshoot them too! #super valuable to learn troubleshooting code and knowing what to look for 👍 #also you guys GOTTA see his insane Canvas particle effects and animations PLEASE GO LOOK #regardless if you understand the code behind it it's mesmerizing!! #wk speaks #programming #javascript #web development #html5 canvas #game development #I've made a few simple games the last few months from other channels too #I love Youtube for learning these things 'cause I do best with step-by-step demonstrations I can follow #some don't explain things super well though so I don't get to fully understand what I followed #I gotta try my hand at tic-tac-toe again where I can understand the mechanisms of mapping its varied win/lose conditions #my first time doing it there was some binary code manipulation that lost me so much sdfsdf #I'm not THAT advanced yet oh gosh
