Duuuuuuuuuude. Life is sooooooo good. Hope you're doing awesome :) Keep up the wonderful work
I'm happy for you. And thank you! :)
Ask @theBanov:
How did you get a Visa to live/work in Canada? I've always dreamt of living in vancouver but being able to get a visa as an indie dev seems hard and complicated.
I had some help with a friend's company sponsoring me for a job, which provides much easier passage across the border.
Right now I'm working on applying via "owner-operated lmia" http://vancouverimmigrationblog.com/tag/owner-operator-lmia/ which lets you get in just by having a company in Canada. Dumb and Fat games is going multinational, yeahh! B) It's a long process but I'm interested in getting permanent residence/a citizenship down the road.

How do you deal with being addicted with a game? Im currently having a REALLY big addiction with Overwatch and can bring myself to code. But i have the need to.... and it ends up with me feeling like SH!T. Any advice?
I basically just avoid any game that looks like it's going to do this, because I myself have a very addictive personality.
The closest equivalent to this I have is smash, which I still play like every other day, and I try to reign it in by giving myself a designated number of allowed games. Other than that... giving yourself a clear todo/goal list each day for your game stuff is a really easy practical way to help build motivation. One way or another, you have to get excited about what you're doing, and want it to exist more than you want to be playing some game.

Why did you pick wanderso.ng rather than wandersong.com. I can see how wanderso.ng is more fancy. But on the other hand wandersong.com is WAY more intuitive. When i want to search a product i go: "I guess it's $PRODUCT_NAME.com" rather than [$PRODUCT_NAME-last two letters and].[last two letters].IDK
wandersong.com is already taken
U ded to me :( U ded.
does that mean I get to be a cool ghost?
Wooow. It really went over my head that wandersong will require a lot of support for the deaf and color blind peeps. It's something that i take for granted. Wich is really sad. Im really happy that you will be adding support for them, it really shows the kind soul you are! <3
It's not as bad as it sounds. Actually, it's a valuable constraint. To keep things clear for all players, it's best for any important information to be conveyed multiple ways, so always visual in addition to audio. Even a normally abled player may be playing with their sound off, so it's on our minds :)
wanderso.ng Getting them cheap web servers. Amirite
lol it was actually way more expensive than just buying a .net or something.
But so worth it.
But so worth it.
Why didnt you call it Coin Quest? It's a way better name
Quests were so passe in 2014. Noone was ever gonna top this one anyways
Let's have SeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEeExXxXxX
This has been sitting in my inbox for a week but I just couldn't delete it. Well, here it is.
WIll deaf people be able to play wandersong?
Yes, they will! :) They're actually easier to cater to that colorblind people, though I fully intend to accommodate both.
You never gotten all the achievements from COIN CRYPT. Filthy casual. FIRST TIME, the last one didnt count
You just learned the title of the game, so you're lookin pretty casual to me! Admit it, we're both just filthy, filthy with casualness. All layin' around in our filth, like wet noodles.
You never gotten all the achievements from Coin Quest. Filthy casual. Jk <3
Who has time for that??
Have you played an entire game of Wandersong? From start to finish that is. No programmer cheats or anything. Is the game on playable state?
Less than half of the story is playable right now! I haven't played through it myself from beginning to end in one go, because I keep a pretty clear picture of how the whole thing fits together in my head, and I focus on little sections one at a time at random parts of the story. It's a bit like writing a novel... you don't really regularly read through your entire novel when you're writing it, right?
I catch bugs when I let friends play through it, which happens very rarely. *Nobody's* played the last ~30 min of the game as it exists now, yet.

What's the ideal pun/word ration on a sentence?
I don't think every sentence needs to have a pun in it. I'm really not even, like, that religious about how and when and how often puns are supposed to be used, etc... they're just like, little sparks of divine inspiration that come to us when the time is right.
OK, maybe I am a little religious about puns

On Wandersing. You have the cool looking plants. I know how you make them move. BUT HOW YOU ADD THE CUTE LITTLE LEAF ON THE SIDE
That code's actually pretty junky and bs'ed. As it loops through the list of points travelled through to draw the vine, I do some really abstract calculations on the size of the list plus some magic numbers to arrive at a number between 0 and 1 that describes the animation for a leaf to sprout at the given spot.
Sorry, that's like... the best explanation I can give. I was going to paste the actual code but I looked at it again and it's so full of nonsense I think that would make matters worse, haha

Sup greg. How's your day going buddy?
I hibernated for half the day and crystallized some story plans for wandersong, and then I worked on some effects and played ori&the blind forest for the first time. I needed some inspiration and that hit the spot. (:
Do you get some mad puss?
Are all these questions from legitimately random people or are they just a few friends who are blowing up your ask.fm?
Idk, they're all anonymous. I imagine them all coming from the same person, including this one. My true #1 fan. Thank you.
Toughts on Jonathan Blow's programming language focused on GameDev?
The language is interesting. Plus the guy is brilliant, and passionate, and I trust that he'll succeed at whatever his goals are with designing his language.
But I'll probably keep using game maker either way, so..... :)

Are you trying to hug me with your ball hands. Gross. Jk fren <3
Shut up and get into my rock hard arms, while my sweaty, hairy hands flop buoyantly against your back.
How can one have a one to one conversation with you? You seem like a cool guy that i would enjoy being friends with <3
That's flattering! (-n u n-) You can always shoot an email to greg@dumbandfat.com. But. I'm pretty careful about letting new people into my life, especially if they're strangers from the internet 0-0
>What do you think people ?should do more often? >Buy my games! *ba dum kshhhhhhhh* +No for real. Im poor. *Tear falls down he's cheek*
My real selfish answer is I wish more people shared the things they made, because there are so many massive talents out there that are well kept secrets, or were never even given the chance to develop because they never got that first positive reinforcement. I want all the beauty and the feels and the expressions out there so I can consume them.
I cant sleep and im feeling lonely
( =3 u _ u)=3 hugz
Zackbell and you. Thin bout it
Game makers or gay makers? With these two together, what difference remains?
I luv you fully homo
oh shit, ignore that last answer, heh heh
