Return of the Forms... Blog
12th January 2024
The Forms don't end, just because you're in a new house!!

-=-=-

It's a quarter past one as I type this.
I've usually done all my morning blog/pixelart/etc within about an hour of waking up, but this morning I had another bloomin' form to fill in, requiring the hunt for paperwork, ID proof and a hundred or so more bits and pieces of information.
Aaack!

3 hours later...
Well, that's half the day gone, then!

Meanwhile...



Yesterday's "Let's see what game I can come up with" ended up looking like this.



Which, I think we can all agree, looks like 100 or so other games that I've done, that all look pretty much the same.

Today I'll be trying to figure out how the game will play, and what sort of unique amazing AGameAWeek experience I might end up pulling out of the thing.

I reckon a quirky control scheme will likely be the deciding factor on how this game ends up.
I haven't done a turn-based control scheme in a while. Maybe I should experiment with that?

Meanwhile, Meanwhile..



Slightly upset that the interface for DrawThings has flipped around, such that the "MAKE MY PICTURE" button is now on the bottom left, instead of the top right.
I know the rest of the GUI is a bit more better organised now, but.. Come on, devs.. Don't move the big important button!!!

Over on Korg Gadget 3, I dislike how the "Duplicate patterns" button now works, as it only seems to work with the bottom-most pattern.
In my workflow, I tend to leave the bottom as a scratch-pad, and create the melody in patterns above. This means I can now only duplicate the scratch-pad, instead of the actual melody I'm working on.
Grrrr...

Honestly, I've got nothing but grumbles about how that is/isn't working.
