ALChoon needs lyrics.
Next game needs starts.
Plenty to do.

Latest Game : 26th September 2022 : Popcorn Bucket
This is a complete list of my games and tools created for SmileBASIC on the Nintendo Switch.

The long awaited multiplayer sequel to the chaotic popcorn battler.
If you've a Switch and SmileBASIC, you can grab a copy of the game using the Public Key

A stress test, if you'd like to join in.

Spent a day tweaking a test over and over again to try and get it to do what I wanted..
Really should've checked that beforehand...

Seems my head's in a bit of a SpikeDislike sort of mood, this weekend.

Time to switch up my art tool on MacOS.
As much as I've enjoyed using Pixelmator Pro, it's becoming more and more a Photo tool, and no longer suitable for pixelart and sprites.

Right, today I need to buckle down and figure out how Popcorn Bucket is going to play.

The Dungeon Pincer has been locked in the dungeon. Help it find the keys it needs to escape!
You can Play this game in JSE.

Can you guess which of yesterday's checklist items didn't get done?
I'll give you a clue. I finished off the ALChoon and the Newsletter..

I didn't release a game, last week, and we're already halfway through this week.
What's going on, Jay!?!

After the chaos of the past week, today should hopefully be a little more normal.

The "Dungeon Something" game still hasn't got a name, nor has the crab creature. If you've any suggestions, leave 'em in the comments!

Can't seem to focus on my game-dev this week. I spent most of yesterday tweaking that ALChoon from the day before.

Tried to make a lovely ALChoon yesterday, and all seemed to flow amazingly well.
The beat seemed perfect, the "meeees" and the "maaaws" appeared in tune. Everything was going perfectly!

I started to recreate yesterday's Platdude Pixelart as a game in GotoJSE, but I didn't get very far in my creation of a game.

Struggling to get anything done again, and yet surprisingly managing to get plenty done.
The results weren't all that great, but .. At least it's another check off the list.

Today's plan is simple.
Compose an entire ALChoon, Make a video for it, write a Newsletter, then panic because I haven't started a game, yet!

I haven't got a plan for this week. Not a clue..
Honestly, nothing. No idea.

The SmileBASIC framework can now cope with 4 players at once.
Hurray!
.. I think..!

The Multiplayer menu for SmileBASIC games is kinda functional, now, but the controllers aren't quite as good as they could be.

Aah, the age old task of smashing the heads of Moles.
You can Play Whack a Mole in the Shoebox.

I tried to get a few things happening, yesterday, but my head's in a weird "must keep watching things on the news" mood.

Yesterday was mostly spent watching the news, as the "Is she, isn't she" news of Queen Elizabeth II's health and eventual passing was all over the TV and Internet.

I've spent a good few weeks trying to find a decent humanised strummer for Ableton, but without any real success.
Time to build my own, then, I guess.

Apple sure did embrace the Notch, this time around, huh?
Taking a dumb hardware design, and hiding it behind a fancy bit of software.
That takes some epic design skills!

Spent a good hour or so organising my Ableton stuff, yesterday.
.. Again..
Silly oversized backups.
