🐭ashe helped a lot with this one. at a certain point you just say "okay, this is what the game will become, and this is what the game wont become" and you just have to stick to it. you have to close a bunch of doors so that you can aim towards the finish line. even if you think you can do better, at a certain point you just have to take what you have and shape it up. I don't think this is a like, thing that just happens - you have to literally just go out of your way and say "okay, this is what the game is" and stick to just that. it's a very conscious, resolute thing

🐭we've made Blobun and Blobun Mini, both games about touching every tile, with the latter being "can we squeeze this into the constraints of pico8?" (we did hehe) aside from that we also made Shield Cat (a technically complete game, but it's complicated) and Cosmogelica (which got canceled because it didn't have the rizz.) Currently we are working on a nonogram game and a top down adventure game >:3

🐭 wow I can't believe that Gamzee terminallyCapricious himself sent me an ask, honk honk

🦊choosing to answer this one because I'm the most likely to have a favorite maths thing, but actually we don't like math all that much LOL bitwise math is cool and everything and I like using it, and we have learned a lot of math stuff, but a lot of that is just like, anything related to gamedev and that's it. even that has limits too like, people start talking about dot products and cross products and it's like, yea I know what they are but that's more like a burden of what we do rather than like, something I wanted to go out and learn about LOL

🐿️you had me in the first half not gonna lie LOL yea, going back to the old account and telling people to follow the new one and coming up with funny new ways to say it was a lot of fun in its own right. one of the most weirdly specific kinds of shitposts we've done. unfortunately Twitter is cringe now, so we just have to wait for bluesky and mastodon to become cringe so we can go to whatever replaces them and then just go back to bluesky and mastodon once in a while to make posts about the new account, starting the cycle anew

🐿️does this mean you have to eat upside down too? like the spoon goes into your mouth upside down? good luck eating soup

🐿️the combined mascot character was originally between mika, ashe, roxy, and willow, so it combined elements of all of them with some other combinations from various past characters, but as we've found more headmates, we haven't really seen a need to update it? so we just haven't

🐭da BIG choese.......... 🧀
(it's funny we were having a conversation with friends about fursona species stereotypes and how they can suck, and then I was like "ok but we all like cheese right?" and the other mice in the chat were like "choese" 🧀)

🦨to this day Gamemaker doesn't let you use texture2D vertex texture sampling in Windows without a DLL, a DLL we had to include in Blobun to allow stephanie's slime trail to do all that fancy jiggling it does. hopefully the new runtime fixes this and isn't trying to maintain compatibility with iphones from like 2010 that didn't support the openGL ES spec properly anyways

🦨unfortunately (or fortunately??) blobun has no straight characters in it. metamagicia are innately some kind of pansexual just because of how gender works on mythandra. it's such an abstract concept that "gender" really isn't a thing that metamagicia consider when choosing a potential partner
