All it needs is “Do you have Experience?” after asking if you have a life, and both choices go to Kali Linux

I’m doing the GBA Jam 2024, so it’s for the Gameboy Advance. There is a manager library called Butano that’s made the process easier, which could be an engine in a really loose definition.

Besides Butano, I’m just writing all the other things that engines like Unity/Unreal usually manage as part of the project. A 2D top down adventure game is a good first intro because there’s not a lot that you need a dedicated engine for, and it’s actually been a breeze compared to trying to make something in the Unity editor.

Krikzz is also based on Ukraine, and they make flashcarts for old consoles called “Everdrive.” They’re a staple in the retro gaming, retro modding, and homebrew communities.

Sorry for no screenshots, just wanted to share progress.

I entered my first game jam a couple days ago, engineless, and I’m making progress! I only have demo scenes currently, but actors (including a player), map rendering, scene states and contexts, etc are all working so far! Next up is collision!

I’m making an adventure game almost entirely inspired by a popular Nintendo franchise. Specifically ALttP.

I feel bad for ripping off a game idea, but there’s not enough games that scratch that itch for me!

It can be quite expensive, but after 20 different antidepressants and antipsychotics, I’ve considered it. My latest medications were $1738/m and $1800/m respectively. That’s like $60 per pill that I need to take daily. I’m in a fortunate position with amazing health insurance that will cover it.

Ketamine is $1200 every 3 months, includes therapy, and has cheaper daily nasal spray to maintain the treatment.

Also, recreational Ketamine is different. There’s Ketamine (recreational) and S-Ketamine (therapeutic). It does absolutely give you psychedelic effects, but it wouldn’t be as fun of a thing to take in your spare time as Ketamine.

People kept pinching my butt and bra.

I was dressed as Tina from Bob’s Burgers as part of a group costume. I was groped multiple times. Very disturbing.
