2 hours of banging my head on the wall, trying to figure out why my Twitch chat game does not have sounds. And you know games usually if they are running in the background do not make sound. And guess what, to make a message in the chat I need to tab out from the game.
#twitch #streaming #gaming #gpt3 #sims
I am going to give another shot to my Twitch streaming career. The plan is to make a game that Twitch chat can control. Hopefully, it will bring enough entertainment to the stream and build the fun base. First things first, build a fun base. Second, have enough support to work on my game. Third, have support from selling games.
For the game I am going to use my failed attempt to make a game that is controlled by GPT-3. And update it with the twitch chat. It is like a sims game. I have 2 appartments and the shop and also stats, so it should not take too much time to convert it to the Twitch chat game.
Today’s progress: textured tables in the pizzeria
Meetings are very ineffective, they force you to the single task mode.

Today’s progress: textured pizza oven and peel. #3dmodeling #pizzaoven #peel #materialmaker #gamedev #indiedev #pizzeria
Today’s progress: Do you know there is an open-source killer of Substance Painter called Material Maker? I decided to learn it and retexture the pizzeria counter. #substancepainter #materialmaker #opengameart #gamedev #indiedev #pizzeria
I think death takes away a lot of fun from the game. I think it is a better game design if players are not losing progress. I need to think a little bit more, but I think if you did not do well in the challenge you just get less reward. #gamedesign #death #progress
Today’s progress: polished the title screen track, some clean ups in the image, added the fire particle effect. #gamedev #unrealengine #particles

Today’s progress: I attempted to produced a lofi track for the title screen of my game Ordy. I am too tired to upload it, I’ll upload it tomorrow. #music #lofimusic #lofi #musicproduction #ordy #gamedev
I need to figure out something. #office #wfh #life #gamedev I saw the neighbor, he has 3 cars and constantly going out, has drones, flies drones. Looks like he enjoys his life, and I am trying to figure out how to have all of these things.
I am trying to escape the corporate slavery. Things are so slow, e.g. setting up consoles, if I would do it alone I’m pretty sure I would do it 5 times faster. And here there’s a lot of bureaucracy, asking people to create accounts, asking people for stupid simple things like USB-C chargers. Tickets, tickets, tickets, requests, requests, and waiting for things.
Stupid office chair, after one hour of sitting on it my back hurts. Again, nobody knows what to do with it, without this corporate bullshit I’ll just order the chair on Amazon and call it a day.
Why is it so cold in the office?
Cafe is free, but I have got stomachache again. I do not know what it is, my current theory is that it is a salad, I’ll try next time to exclude the salad, will see.
I need to figure out how to escape this hell: code reviews, trainings, bureaucracy, executives lying. In the meeting I just said it out loud: “you are lying”. Luckily nobody heard it, it was a Zoom meeting.
I just want to make games.
I have an idea for a hypercasual game with RPG progression.
It is my old idea about Pop Its. You know the fidgit toy. So it is hypercasual, you have a pop it and pop all slots, very easy and relaxing. But there is a chance some pops may drop some items, and you can collect items, collect them, craft something out of them. Have RPG stats, like XP, level. Make it online, have a leaderboard, allow trading with items. Have the ability to buff your pops, or have some tools to make multiple pops. Have different shapes of pops.
I need to figure out the story. Something like, you went to the room of your older sister and found a magic pop it on her table. You took it and play with it. And suddenly magic dust starts falling from the up, and small tornado forms and from the eye of the tornado, a toy unicorn falls off.
You took the unicorn and put it on the shelf. And continue to play with the pop it.
The pop it was droping different itemes and sometimes coins.
Or maybe pop it will open the door to a different world. And you have to save this world from the evil queen.

Dear diary, i look everywhere, and find no answers. #AIPasta #gpt3
I don’t know what to do. I feel lost and confused. I feel like I’m searching for something that doesn’t exist. I feel like I’m looking for answers to questions that don’t have any.
I don’t know what to do with my life. I feel like I’m just going through the motions, day after day, with no real purpose or direction.
I want to find meaning in my life, but I don’t know where to start.
