You have to drag to move. Sounds painful, and it is. That's really weird and you have to re-learn how to move your character, which can be frustrating and show how used we are to standard movements. After a few minutes you get used to it and it becomes fun.

I made it when I researched how to "physically" play differently.

I just launched https://buzzclub.xyz/, movies quizzes with funny questions: emojis, puns, synonyms (and more to come) All the content is generated with ChatGPT (and manually filtered) It's a game changer for a solo game dev like me, who can now generate huge amount of content in a very short time. I started the projects two weeks ago, used GPT-3.5 for emojis and synonyms, GPT-4 for puns, and I filled like 2000 different answers in a few days.

I hope you'll enjoy it and feel free to ask me anything about the process!

(IMHO "lerp" scrolling is a truly horrible experience)

Shameless plug: https://github.com/titoasty/zmooth I just published a JS library to easily make smooth interpolations, just by setting a "to" value (after doing it by hand for years) I hope you'll find it useful!

Non distracting, no vocals, can select a few different streams.

What's working for me is listening to the same lofi channel, which helps me focus without being disturbed by the music because it's, hmm, generically bland. Like some brain filling. But still enjoyable. (a bit harsh definition for a genre I like)

I become too emotionally invested when I listen to any other kind of music.

So lofi for work!

Here is a quick example of a 3x6 I made to test the tool: https://www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/gallery/?id=1...

I'm more into post-rock (gy!be <3) but I totally relate to your feeling. This massive/overload wall of sound blanketing your brain.

Even if there's nearly no lyrics in post-rock, it is strictly impossible for me to work while listening to it.

And shoegaze/postrock are something you have to enjoy with headphones. The work on stereo is always phenomenal. (I wonder if some bands used binaural beats to go further this way. kinda reminds me I-doser ;) )

So be extreeemely careful with this.

My old portfolio (old because most links are dead now, but still use it)

If you're on desktop, you can enjoy the raymarched sphere with moving colors as you hover links.

Yeah no Mac version because I don't have a Mac to compile and try it.. :'( (maybe a Linux version coming later)

It was my first entirely finished project: gameplay, 2d elements, sounds, musics (but not 3d). I'm just proud I finished this project, having a tendency to get bored extremely easily and only motivated by new stuffs (oh a bird!)

Let me tell you that all the considerations on accessibility have never been even discussed or even a few times laughed at.

I subscribed to Freeletics a few years ago (some months in, some out), and I developed a routine where "I don't have to think". Because if you have to think, even seconds, it's over.

So I wake up at 6:45, tired and not woke enough to think, foggy brain, then I run 3km and then Freeletics session. I just follow the orders, do what the app wants me to do, cry a bit, and boom, it's over. It's now 8am and I'm full of energy. And when my brain realizes what I've done, it's too late: I won.

That was my solution: don't think. Haha.
