begging all gamedevs to hide eggbug in your games, put them somewhere cool. Eggbug could be the dopefish of modern times

literally been since saturday-ish doing the brackeys game jam 2024.2 gamejam and just learned about this 30 min ago. might as well do it, since it fits the theme. gonna link to it here (it ends this weekend anyways, so it'll be here before cohost... uh, yeah.)

comment what dialogue should I put on it. position will not be there, but in random places depending on the storyline.

game context

theme: peace before the storm.

the game chooses one of these storylines at random:

  • my peace was enjoying myself, and then the storm came when I entered my home and realised what happened.
  • my peace was lost the day before, and I am slowly realising the storm that's brewing
    i caused the storm to come and destroy the peace
  • my peace was interrupted by a sudden event, while preparing something for someone that will never come
  • never knew or never could know what happened, or if I even know if I'm in the storm

you start at some place in the house, and you walk through it, interacting with objects, and the environment slowly changes until you're in the storm.

looks like a PSX with raytracing on. coming from me, shocking, i know.
it's 50% done. need to finish some assets, music and then dialogue. code is pretty much all done. was gonna do a follow-up and release the framework i built around godot to make the C# version way, waaaaaaaaay less bad, but maybe it won't be done before the read-only date :(



Gustavo Cerati, Argentinean rockstar of Soda Stereo fame (pretty much on the Olympus of music in Spanish) said on his farewell tour of 1997 (ironically, the year I was born):

"Not only (we) wouldn't have been anyone without all of you, but also with all the people around us from the start: some, even from the beginning. Gracias, totales."

That last phrase could mean a bunch of things. Total thanks, absolute thanks, the biggest and largest thanks of them all. And it became kind of their phrase after each concert.

It's also a phrase I use a lot to describe a deep level of gratitude for people very instrumental for myself, and those I care about. And for cohost and their @staff, there's no better word I can think of to say in this sour farewell.

cohost meant to me the clear point where I started to figure a way out. No more pity, no more excuses: I started working on myself and looking life a different way. And hopefully, get out of the capitalism hole that it is being marginalised because of being the wrong fur at the wrong place and time.

I felt like this was, in some weird and unexplainable way, a place with a LOOOOOT more like-minded people than anywhere else I've been. I hope I keep on finding these small treasure troves of happiness and empathy. Because, in these days of hardship, is what we need the most.

I am around the internet, same name (sometimes spelt framebuffers due to username being taken... But you'll notice the pfp). Discord (framebuffer), Telegram, and any socials probably in my webpage

Eggbug will live on.
