Had to download this app again to view the Hytale account. Have I missed anything since March?

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

I posted a small blog on my portfolio about Acorn 2D, a custom C++ game engine made by myself and
@deadmonstors. #gamedev

I still have some updates planned for this but I am also now developing my next small title. I had big plans, but other plans turned them into smaller ones :D Can't wait to share my next project. It shouldn't be long!

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

Idle Fields has recently seen a massive spike in players, breaking its highest player record from 66 last year to 74. This all happened because of the spring sale and a youtuber who uploaded a video at the same time. That video now sits at 100k views🤯

This means that Idle Fields, my silly little idle game that started as a side project, now has 500k total views on YouTube. That is insane! This game has achieved so much, even getting a bundle with the Plantera which is what inspired me to make this in the first place

@the_real_aia And this is exactly why I don't use Premiere anymore (that and I don't want to pay the crazy prizes when Davinci Resolve is free)

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

I did a thing. If you're a game dev on here, let me know your @ so I can follow you :D

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@the_real_aia It actually is! It looks more like an axolotl though hahah. She tried to fix hers and it ended up looking like I made it 🤣

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

My fiancée and I gave each other 10 minutes to make a clay figure. Mine are the right ones except the duck. Feel free to roast my creations

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

I need to add controller support to Idle Fields and it means remaking lots of UI because I was a dumb dumb and didn't think about doing it correctly the first time. Having an amazing time (I am not)

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@JonasTyroller Well deserved

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@devbl4ck @bl4ck_alt If you start a tweet with a tag the tweet will show as a reply, even if it isn't

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@JonasTyroller How do you find the scripting part of it? I found it really odd compared to other engines. I can't quite figure out why I feel that way. Might just be because it's new

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@TShelfman Box for me :D

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@TShelfman 3 is subtle. It doesn't stand out too much nor does it take away from other parts of the world. 4 to me has way too much going on

[Ben Nilsson @KotieDev]

@GiantSlothGames @SpellwareSt Do you plan on making devlogs on this game still? I love seeing the updates
