- I know better than to try to get a complex thing working late at night, but I ignored that and tried to get card recoloring items to update correctly in the hangar when adding and removing them. ...only to realize this morning that the solution was to literally use the next method in the file.

This was a personal project created with a small team, and my friends say, "I was playing it to be polite, but then it was four hours later, and I actually liked it!" Getting the word out is still hard, so all RTs appreciated!

- Me diff'ing waveforms visually because I can't tell from listening whether or not the VO fixes are actually in a commit.

- Even when there aren't any major build issues at a launch, it's so stressful because you feel like you have to maximize the moment. Worst bug so far was a setting that would try to switch localization languages based on the system language, even though loc isn't done.

- The key to Trinket marketing is naming our games with letters at the start of the alphabet. We failed to start Battle Suit Aces with an A despite trying so hard. But this is why - alphabetical lists pop up all the time! 1000 X Resist clearly wins, though. www.ludonarracon.com/2025-officia...

- 1) Think of a good dev post 2) Draft the words 3) Start recording the required in-editor gif 4) Realize it's gonna take more than 5 minutes 5) Delete draft 6) Post this instead
- It's important to make demos because they force to you fix the issues, make the art, and design the content that you've been putting off for years.

- We have a spreadsheet full of card and item ideas that has been growing silently for years. Trawling it for the next wave to implement is so much fun. Our past brains sometimes do a good job!
- And now for episode 2 of "Will It Ship?"! I wrote this character's subtitle and love it. I give it a 60% chance of getting approved by the writing team.

- I added a post-build step that runs a batch file to reset git so everything gets cleaned up. Good news: it worked correctly. Bad news: it deleted itself because I didn't check it in first.

- As a kid, I had to stop playing Donkey Kong Land on this level and grow my brain for two years before returning to finish the game. So I might still need more time before playing another DK.
- On this episode of "Will It Ship?", we look at the asteroids in Battle Suit Aces' first episode. This establishing shot was rushed for pitching. The asteroids are actually the dragon's ground pound particles from Battle Chef Brigade. @team.trinketstudios.com
