what was the hardest puzzle mechanic to create for Blobun, and what was the most frustrating and/or tedious part?
🐭probably the hardest puzzle mechanic was the lasers, since those needed intricate sprites for the laser cannons in all 4 directions and they needed redirectors in all 4 directions, and they also needed to be able to process fast and have interactions with every other puzzle element and not fire off the edge of the stage and not cause any infinite loops if two lasers pointed at each other (all of these reasons are why they weren't in blobun mini LOL) so they took a lot of work and consideration!
I dont know about the others, but I know a frustrating part for me was trying to figure out how the background visuals should look. I'm happy with the way they ended up looking in the end, but it took a lot of iteration and discarded graphics to get there (some of those graphics I worked really hard on rip)
curious about wether you prefer if people buy blobun on itch or on steam directly, which gives you a bigger cut?
🦨people ask this a lot and we think you should just buy the game wherever it's convenient for you to play it
if you don't mind me asking: what's it like when who is fronting changes? i scrolled down a bit and didn't see this yet.
🐿️it's... hard to describe. when you come to the front and it's like you become fully actualized again. I guess it's akin to being like in a dream, and then waking up in the real world. that's probably the best I can describe it
How finish game please help :(
🐭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
Hi! I'm new to your account and I think what you post is awesome! What projects have you made so far, game wise?
🐭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
Hey what's honkenin' with you lately?
🐭 wow I can't believe that Gamzee terminallyCapricious himself sent me an ask, honk honk
whats your favourite maths thing (games-relevant or not)?
🦊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
I miss when your posts were good. Back when you'd post about once a year and yell at people for still following a 'no longer used' twitter account, begging the remaining followers to just follow your new account and unfollow the old one. It'd bring a smile to my face when I'd heart those ~yearly posts.
🐿️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
My teeth all flipped upside down!!!!!!!
🐿️does this mean you have to eat upside down too? like the spoon goes into your mouth upside down? good luck eating soup
How did you decide on the species for your combined plural system fursona?
🐿️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
