I really need to stop trying to be different. It's okay to copy other ideas if you are just practicing.

@luke For vertical levels I have the player go from one side to the other. This required me to include tiles offscreen. I shoehorned in a horizontal mode, but that required extra code (like repositioning the camera). Too make matters worse I was also working on the level editor so I had to shoehorned those features as well.

Some levels ended up looking corrupted from the level editor to the game itself as a result and I was constantly fixing it.

@luke The biggest mistake was shoehorning in horizontal levels into a game the originally only supported vertical ones.

@DocScranton @Pawlicker @redneonglow I wonder who would drive them out first, the rape/gore posters or hachi.

I really do hate scrapping projects, but I seriously can't deal with this tedious shit right now.

@DocScranton @Pawlicker @redneonglow Or they could migrate to DRC only to witness all the rape and gore posting.

Fuck it. I might have to scrap this project. I can't constantly tinker shit. And deal with broken compatibility with the level editor and game itself, while also having two modes.

I might redo the dungeon crawler project since I've been working a lot on procedural generation.

Ugh. Incorporating horizontal levels in a vertical platformer has made the code a huge mess.

There have been some really cool developments in the world of Haiku

So apparently, I broke compatibility between my game and level editor and I'm still trying to figure out how.

@beardalaxy @matrix If I could make a suggestion, maybe consider using a crowd-tipping service like Patreon, Ko-fi, Librapay, and/or Kuno. You will receive a monthly income if people are willing to donate. You would be expected to post frequent updates, but hopefully, you can get more time to work on your games.

@beardalaxy @matrix The gamble for you is whether or not your game will be a commercial success.

@beardalaxy Same here. When I was still in college, it was about me somehow missing certain high school credits.

@beardalaxy Most of the dreams I've been having lately are ones where I'm still in high school.

@monsterislandcolonizer @IAMAL_PHARIUS @MeBigbrain Biden is probably already dead. It's not the same Joe Biden who was the vice president during the Obama administration. It's clearly an actor. Just check the earlobes.
