Yoooo Dispatch was super fun and incredibly wholesome?? ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ Really cool to see how the dispatcher gameplay carries emotions from the story and choices. Such a great experience, narrative, and set of characters. Definitely curious as to what the other routes were like

Yeah of course! We've already got a patch ready to ship, and once that's done, I'm reworking the buddy and enemy AI ๐Ÿ˜ˆI've had it started in a separate branch for a while, and it's already a huge improvement ๐Ÿ‘ Very excited to grind that out as I apply for jobs

hey
you should make that shamelessly queer game you've been wanting to make. you should put more trans and gay rep into the world. especially now.

don't let anyone silence you. trans and gay indie devs deserve to be seen just as much as anyone else. your art matters more than ever.

A Reddit post appears in a google search. The title reads "How do I achieve Animation Cancelling? : r/Unity3d". The description reads "Play the animation you want, and then at the moment you want to cancel it, take a baseball bat and smash up your computer until the animation is no longer ..."

Thank you!! It's fun to design around, and a great mechanic for driving narrative (which isn't in our demo yet ๐Ÿ˜‚)! Also three cats at once?? That sounds amazing ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

I keep going through Game Dev Starter Packs with only like 2 Black people. So I've gone through all the Game Dev Starter Packs finding the 2 Black People on them and made a Starter Pack with more than just 2 of us.
