Parent's Love

Sat, 25 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today I read a quote that I really liked about a parent’s love and I really related to it because of my current process on understanding my relationship with my parents.

уперше на моїй памʼяті я був здатний дозволити собі прийняти любов та турботу батьків — не так, як я колись очікував, а так, як вони могли її дати. В мені щось відкрилося. Неважливо було, як вони могли чи не могли любити мене. Важливо було, як я міг прийняти те, що вони були готові давати

For the first time in my memory, I was able to allow myself to accept my parents' love and care—not in the way I had once expected, but in the way they were able to give it. Something opened up inside me. It didn't matter how they could or couldn't love me. What mattered was how I could accept what they were willing to give.

Call of the Kraken, a Playdate game

I made my first Playdate game for the Ludum Dare Jam 55 and lived to tell about it.

The Playdate is a small fantasy console in which one can develop games using their SDK. The cool thing about the console is that it has a crank that you can use in your games. For development, you can choose to either work with Lua or the C language.

I’ve had my eyes on this device for a few months now, so when I saw them for sale at GDC, I bought one without hesitation. I also convinced a couple of Colombian game developer friends to buy one with the excuse that we would make games and at least get 1 USD in sales back.

A few weeks passed after my GDC trip, and the Ludum Dare was just around the corner. We decided it was a great opportunity for us to start developing on the platform, so we put up a team of three to make a small Playdate game.

You can test the game (and rate it if you feel like it) by going to the game's Ludum Dare Jam site .

rise and dice

I recently found out about the Micro Fiction Games Jam which, to quote its website, “it is intended to be a yearly game jam where people write and submit very short format games, on a theme, just for fun.” This year’s rules are Rule, Topple and Renew.

I made this small game to play when I wake up.

The Rules:

Wake up
Roll the dice (D6)
If roll falls in the number of day of the week, sleep 5 more minutes
Wait 24h and start again
If Sunday (7), free pass, sleep 5 more minutes
