New games every week!
An Idea Unstarted Blog
8th September 2024
I think I've a concept for this week's game..

-=-=-

Simplify Monopoly a bit, and add it to the Shoebox. That seems like a plan, right?!
I mean, I will need a whole bunch of art. AI Art will be used a fair bit, I imagine. But otherwise it's just a simple enough game.
Squares, moving pieces, dice. What could possibly go wrong?!
My head's kinda spinning with crazy ideas to go with it, though, which .. Honestly, I think this might be a two week game, already, and I've barely even started, except for vague thoughts.
Hmm.

Am I running out of ideas, now?
Sure does seem WAY harder than it used to, to come up with even a vague plan of action.
Used to be I could mess about with some code and "bingo" an Idea strikes.
Nowadays if I mess about in JSE too much, my head starts wondering what JSE tweaks I can make, and I end up not leaving myself enough time to write anything!

I sat staring at VidGen2 for about an hour yesterday, clicking through all the different effects, and wondering how I could tweak them.
..
You know, instead of actually coding the game I'd been thinking about.
Is that just procrastinating, or is it something more than that?

The Game Archive currently has 894 games. That's 6 games to reach 900, and only (!) 106 games to get to 1,000.
It'd be daft to give up now, right?!

Keep going, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only 106 more games to do.

Meanwhile..



The new telly showed up yesterday, all vibrant and bright, crisp and sharp. A beautiful telly.


Mmm, newness..


Luvly pixels.

You know what I already hate about it?
...
It's this.


The Power LED is not centred...

RAWR!!!!!


Oh, and it has a TikTok button on the remote..
!!!!
The future is bleak!
