Yes you're right, it's part of life I guess! And yes, thank you very much🤗

Haha, would love to see that! I'm curious, were you also addicted to these cute little creatures that pooped everywhere? Maybe you just waiting for the right time to make your pancake magnum opus? Haha, that would be so cool to make games just by imagining them, the process would be simpler, and maybe a bit more chaotic 😎

Oh yes, a game with a dog mini game is a 10/10, the rest of the game is just a bonus🐶 That's the problem with 3D models, it's harder to personalize or to add animations compared to pixel art for example (not that I'm good at pixel art).

Not really, I experimented a bit with the engine, ideas and stuff (and maybe reducing the scope I had in mind😁) but nothing too serious right now. How about you, are the ideas flowing?

Good to hear! Chickens shouldn't be stressed like that. 😇

Yes, I used to spend a lot of time taking care of my Tamagotchi (and cleaning up its poop 💩💩💩💩💩). I still have it too! 👾 Maybe you're right... pancakes are very important to me after all, so a game about them has to be just as good. 😋 That would be awesome! If imagining was all I needed to do, I'd make so many more games! And yes, they'd be more chaotic for sure. 😁

Maybe my jam game should be a game where you play fetch with a dog by throwing a pancake to him. 🥏 I'd love to be better at both pixel art and 3D modelling, but I'm too lazy to do either most of the time... so yeah, like you said, that makes it difficult. 😩

That's okay! We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush. Reducing the scope is always helpful with jam submissions. No progress yet... I keep procrastinating and wondering if I'll even submit anything at this rate. 😓

Oh you still have it? That's so cool, you're a good tamagotchi father👨‍👦💩! Haha, yes me too, no more unfinished games😎

That's a cute idea actually, could be fun but I don't know how hard it would be to make it in BAKIN. Me too, my friend, me too... lazyness is a curse👺! Your pixel art style looks really nice to me in The Stranger Fables of Fantasy Heroes and Aqua's Pizza Party Disaster - and don't say that its just RTP edits or what not, they are super charming and well made!

Hey hey don't say that, I'm just gonna repeat what you just said to me: "We've still got time for now, so there's no need to rush". Maybe just launch BAKIN and play with it a bit without thinking of the jam, doing random stuff that goes through your mind, it could spark some unexpected ideas. Or I could also take out my virtual whip to stop your from procrastinating😈

Yup! At some point I'll probably replace the battery and become a Tamagotchi father once again. 😁 Ah but I suppose if game dev were that easy, everybody could do it and we wouldn't feel as special. 😎

True, and I might be too lazy to figure it out for a jam game. 🤔 At least we make stuff sometimes, right? 🤷‍♂️ Well thank you! I'm glad you think so. I just wish I could make pixel art faster, though. Speed is my biggest weakness as a dev in general. 😔 Polish & presentation are both things that you inspire me to work on as well. 💯

You're right (and me too I guess 😅)! I won't give up, and as a matter of fact, I came up with an idea today that I really want to do! 🧠 That's a good idea in general, actually! It's helpful just to start up the software sometimes. As for the virtual whip... 😰 That hopefully won't be necessary...
