bushcraftedgames.com/ Had an update 👀

I need suggestions for better games for kids 4-6. Adventure, story, challenge. Long form quality to fight the kid slop. Minecraft is good, but everything else in their media sphere quickly points to casino, dopamine shitification and I need good alternatives that don't require them to be 12 to be able to be capable. Related, Youtube about to be perma-blocked. Which is sad because it has loads of great stuff.

At this point I don't even remember what the original issue was. But after 2 weeks of debugging I've finally got my game's whole inventory system working 🥳

Gave my kid (6) access to Minecraft wiki. Of course it has embedded YouTube video tutorials. Of course those present suggestions for next video and 1, 2, 3 we have a YouTube rabbit hole that I then have to shoulder surf to make sure nothing inappropriate pops up. Anybody know how best to limit this without nuking YouTube entirely and without micromanaging the kid's exploration, reading, and engineering in Minecraft? The browser (Firefox) does have a kid filter installed, but there's a lot of "kid friendly" slop on YouTube too 🤷

Does this make me an electronics engineer?

God damn I'm so distracted from my game 😂 Anyway, I had an idea for a thing, so entering my hardware era for a little bit. I will get back to The Dark Hunt [Working Title] I promise 😅

It would be really cool if @elonmusk started performance tuning and modding his cars and racing them. "What's the point of owning a race car if you never drive it?"

Kids are hilarious. Oldest: Walks by with a nurf gun and a shopping bag. "We're going to the war!" Me: "Oh, which war, there a few to pick from?" Oldest: "Uhh... Japan against the U...S!" Youngest: Token comment, "Yeah!" Wields nerf gun threateningly. ME: "That's a tough fight. Good luck 🫡" Oldest: "We're bringing a bag for extra bullets." Me" "Good idea. Always bring as many bullets as you can." Them: Stomp off to battle.

I need to manage time better. Instead of building my game I jumped from an obsession with KCD to an obsession with racing sims 😂 Game Dev has been rare lately. I guess it's been vacation time 👍 I need to find a way to accelerate, get to a mad release tempo. Build hype and keep it hyped. Like pop music hype for my indie game label 😎 Need to get hungry again.

🎮🏋️🏕️ Bushcrafted Game Dev I spent a day chasing a bug where grenades were suddenly not throwing. Turns out it was a feature where I disallowed grenades outside of combat 🤦 More sleep required.

I actually took a math class on traffic for my math minor. Traffic is essentially caused by volume of traffic, human nature of always wanting to be first, and human reaction time. Someone cuts you off etc and you have to hit the brakes. If the volume of traffic is high enough where the person behind you also hits the brakes, and the person behind that. That delay cascades. The time you spend stationary for seemingly no reason is the accumulation of possibly hours of human reaction time. We could collectively prevent most traffic all if we all stopped tailgating, cutting people off, and generally driving like idiots 😂

I'm going to release a classic intro chapter demo, but should I also do a combat pre-demo (playtest) with jungle lane target shooty goodness?

This hat is 🔥

Real world hat upgrades beat in-game outfit purchases every time.
