This is most likely my last devlog for Babio Ware.

I can’t say that I’m the most happy with what I’ve completed here, so I’ll probably keep working on it, but I just wanted to get it out before it ends.

If you could give it a try, thank you. I tried to make it html so you can play it on itch, but failed miserably. Sorry.

I drew a custom font to meet quota today. I really hate the way it looks so I’m gonna have to redo it and spend more than 6 seconds on each letter, but at least it is partially legible and works! Next I’ll make it so it’s used in the minigames.

For whatever reason, it took like an hour to get a font in and it looks awful. I kinda think its funny though. According to corporate they need me to “find the guy who keeps pushing slop to the repo daily and fire him.” So I hope they don’t find out.

I did more boring porting from globals to actual managers that no one cares about. More updates on minigames will probably come sometime next week. Just for the record, about 4/50 complete and 1/50 wip.

Boring one today. Just fixed the scene manager to actually rely on itself and not the globals.

soon the unfurled paper will become the math paper. evil math paper.with preschool. math of preschool math.

Implemented necessary music and background. Why did it take 45 minutes? It didn’t I don’t know where this number even came from. I guess I got sidetracked. Like tracked, on the side, because it wasn’t my main goal. It was a side goal. On the side. For Babio Ware. I can’t find the TM so I technically didn’t reference the actual game. That’s not how that works. Too much of a good squid is a bad squid. Squid. Squid stuff. I don’t have much to report today. Maybe next time I’ll make the MJ button do something.

Babio Paint is a bit more fleshed out, added some weird cubes, some weird function, some weird thingamajigs, and Babio things and stuffs. Hold [RMB] to draw… this stuff.

Have you ever had a bad day?
Spent forty minutes on a whole lot of nothing. I have the idea but just not the feeling. The energy? Sometimes I think it’s unavoidable. And it can feel like you’re ungrateful when you know good things happen to you too. Welp, I felt a bit down today. Tried to write some stuff but I could only get this paper ball on screen. It looks funny. At least bad days don’t last forever. I hope when I am finished my jokes can take away some bad days. More tomorrow.

Big props if you can guess what I’m making, mostly because I don’t really know myself. I didn’t really have any ideas today so I made this hand thingy. My plan is to have you pick up stuff. A very fun job. Given. To you. By me. I don’t know how to make a joke here. Anyway, probably more actual content tomorrow. Other than that, I worked a bit on making other systems actually work like I wanted them to. Although I should really just keep making more stuff before I go back to old stuff.

I decided that the drawing wouldn’t really make for a good minigame, so, now introducing… Babio Paint! A very original and in development idea. I’m sure this is what all of us were desperately asking for, so don’t get all your eggs in a knot. Either way, Babio liked this idea SO MUCH, he asked for another button of his face, and now expects even more “eastered eggs” out of me. Cya!

While trying to code a way to cut 2D images into pieces, I accidentally made it so that you can draw? I guess I can actually make this into two minigames now so be fortunate for our happy accidents. Nevertheless, the little code snipper in the first two seconds is all of this scene so feel free to copy that if you want to do something with this. Babio says I shouldn’t share “company secrets” but it’s okay to break the rules sometimes, right?

Ok, so, there I was, hard at work and hardly working, when all of a sudden my manager, Mr. Babio, checks up on me. Kindly, he says “let me use your laptop for a sec, chump.” Now, I am not intimidated by someone who is 3’1” (94cm), but I didn’t feel like losing my job. So, in my infinite kindness, I handed it to him. However, upon receiving my laptop back, I was told by VSCode this bug, that my globals didn’t have a definition for “SpriteBatch.” Now, I wrote the code so I knew that it was called sb, which is why I typed sb, which is why I am utterly baffled at this bug. How on earth is it telling me that the bug is on the line where it literally isn’t? So, being upset, I immediately went straight back to Mr. Babio’s office to beat on him, meaning I cowered and politely asked what he could’ve done to my laptop. He tells me that he doesn’t know, and he “only wrote a few lines testing”, which isn’t true, because he just took it and stared at the screen for half an hour. Nevertheless, you can imagine my then and continued confusion when I was told by the terminal that there is an imaginary bug. This can only mean I am fighting fourth dimensional entities I cannot perceive, which is good content for a minigame, so maybe expect that. Content drops will return once I beat these beings and find my way back to the IDE.

As far as news today goes…

I hope that puns are good enough! If you can call them that. Either way, no need to wagyuu any fingers at me. Orange you glad you get to cook food in Babio Ware™? Are the jokes too corny for you? But you can’t be shellfish about it because I’m doing it for brie! Alright, alright… I walnut make any more food puns. I think this minigame will be pretty fun dough.

I guess it’s a bit hard for me to get work done right now. A bit tired, had stuff to do. Sorry for a bad devlog today. You’re amazing, and you make Babio proud.

Apparently, you AREN’T supposed to name your variables sentences. Babio informed me of this during his routine check in. He said, “if you don’t add at least 3 more demon types, you are fired!!!!” Which would be nice if “fired” meant I get be ignited and burn. But no, it means that I have to lose my game. No thanks Mr. Babio. That means 15 more frames of demons are coming soon.

Okay, so basically, this is what it’s like in hell. And that’s the truth, love it or hate it. Yep, Neddy really is the Devil. I’d know, Babio and I went to hell on a trip to find a Toys R Us back in 2022, but it turns out they’d all shut down I thinks. Long story short, pokemon cards were on 75% sale and I managed to snag like a ton of boxes. Babio got nothing because he was broke, but he’s rolling in it after all the promotions. This minigame is a very accurate representation of a moment on our journey into hell, or as Babio said “tartarus.” Well Babio, the only “tar tar” I know is steak, and it’s pretty gross.

I don’t have the energy for any puns or absurdity today. I added some sound effects, more stuff, 5/50 minigames are basically complete. When #50 is done the game will be public and free. Then I’ll just keep uploading minigames as updates from there. Please understand squids can get tired too… But hey, I understand the SoundEffect class as well as I can now, I think.

Added a SUPER EVIL DEMON to be killed. The bullets aren’t really implemented yet but for some reason everything is becoming super jiggly. Babio was the one who said we needed animations because “who want’s to play a game with a bunch of static images”, but apparently these aren’t good enough? You let me know.
