I’ve been coding up some tools to help storytelling in Ren’Py. This is a class (actually two) for items that change as they are used.
You may need to view the code on the original page to see nice formatting.
Breakthrough!
I now have Ren’Py up and running on my Ubuntu gaming PC. It took me long enough.
Now, I can start drafting code.
CC audio samples
I’m looking for Creative Commons or public domain audio samples – especially ambient, nature, and industry sounds. Do any of the lovely Interwebs folk know where I might find such things?
ChatGPT kisses my arse too much
I find talking about my ideas helps me clarify and develop them. I was using ChatGPT to talk through my ideas. This was, on the whole, a useful exercise. There was one small problem.
Chat is far too keen to praise my ideas even when they are objectively bad. I think, perhaps, what I need to do is blog my ideas and hope you lovely people give me real human feedback. There’s a better chance of being called out on my mistakes.
New tune
I’m working on a new tune. I’m aiming for an ambient EDM sort of thing at 128BPM. I’ve made use of forths in a minor key and played with samples, sound fonts, and synth settings I have not tried before.

Be a little bit strange today

What’s you favourate obscure movie?
For reasons that might never become entirely clear, I would like your help in compiling a list of loved but obscure movies because I am working on something.
Mock up for door lock puzzle
In The Endless Rooms, some doors are locked. I figured it would be fun to have a big, heavy, and complicated machine that acts as the lock. This is a quick sketch, ink, and colour of one idea for that lock.
Always Learning
Today I watched this video on 2d art for games and took many notes.
