I finally get my idea "settle" a bit, I still straggle to choose what color should I use, personally I'm more into dark colors and flat surfaces, thus my preference tends to be like "breeze dark" 😺, but I can see that in average people like colorful images thus the dilemma.
Anyway my previous and first set of wall paper felt a bit "dated", and I was looking for something flatter in either case.
Trying a darker and a lighter version of each 🙃
In this week's report, I look at realizing and rebuilding the trading system, and also cups of tea.

My game pitch was selected as a finalist in the 2019 Life Love Game Design Challenge, an annual #seriousgames challenge to prevent Teen Dating Violence.
It's really thrilling but also a bit daunting to be honest!
I'm so far-gone from hearing birdsong outside that I keep thinking I left my game minimized.

I added sound to my game o:! I've never done that before, all my earlier games were completely silent. Right now it's just one random sound for one of the many different actions, but it WORKS, and I can add more sounds when I feel like it :D
In this week's report, I discuss building a trading system with no currency.

Looks like The Garden Path made it in at 2:32!
A large part of my weekends is looking for a new desktop wallpaper and then not finding one.
Belated throwback. One of the few things I've ever sold was this poster to a stonehead some years ago.
In this week's report, I look at building an item database, and using it to improve the UI.
