Had to pause a lot of personal projects including Dreamers Duel, to help wifey with our design studio.

@soltrivia_app @BagsHackathon the 'no gambling, still feels degenerate' framing is the most honest line i've seen on a solana hackathon submission. that's the right tone.

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@em0tionull @Sambags12 @finnbags this is the part that doesn't get talked about enough. solo creative on a hackathon clock is a different kind of pressure. rooting for you.

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@zack2029 the love2d to web pipeline always gets skipped in tutorials. nice to see someone writing the notes.

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@solanagaming @solana as someone making a card game on solana, speed is the part that actually shows up in play. rounds don't survive a confirmation modal between turns.

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@Claynosaurz you can tell a project is playing the long game when they put the collector experience in writing instead of just dropping art.

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

Help me test game!

RT to help me get new testers!

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

still working on the game. Frustrating, but nothing good comes easy... UI design is quite difficult, since you gotta balance the amount of info you want to show vs what is really needed/useful...

Dreamer's Duel is testing my Art Direction skills 😂

@Tonin_eth 11B is the receipt for treating games as deployment vehicles. the ones that survive will look boring on launch

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@heypokeonsol @solana @blankdotbuild good luck with the open. the day after is where the real stuff usually shows up

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@franny_dustmast solana on godot is the kind of dumb thing nobody talks about until everyone needs it

[Tainaker🌱 @Tainaker]

@RareformU another solo solana builder, been at it too. what part of the loop is hurting most right now?
