I thought about making a thread about hobby game development, but I'm not sure anyone else in here really dabbles in that, so I'm just gonna dump my latest work-in-progress screenshot here instead:

Currently at version 94 of this game project. I've got multiple unfinished game projects in the same engine (Megazeux), but this one is by far the one I've gone the farthest with. I've spent countless hours on this thing. Been working on this game idea in some form since 2012, but this iteration is from somewhere early last year, I think. One of the reasons I'm not writing music anymore is that all of my creative energy goes into making this game.

Today, I made one more actual playable gameplay area, which is what this picture shows.

Looks like it would fit right in with 80's Amiga/Commodore/DOS games. Is it a RPG?

I've always been interested in the idea of making my own game, but I just don't have the motivation and drive to really learn how to do it. Music is my main passion, so I'd rather devote my time to something that I know I can do rather than something that I have no idea if I would even be any good at it.

Though I do sometimes create my own Doom maps, if that counts for anything.

lol good catch!

It's actually intentional.

I googled for the correct spelling, but also remembered seeing the other spelling method several places. It's technically incorrect, but can sometimes be seen used in some phrases, like "she's got moxy!". It's almost sort of a stylization or a written slang version of the word. I liked how it looked in writing better, even though it's not the correct spelling. I decided I could excuse it by how it refers to part of the game system that isn't exactly 1:1 with what it means in "the real world", so to speak.

Long story short: I liked the incorrect spelling better aesthetically and it's functionally a game component that's more inspired by what the word means than it's the same thing.
