Sophie’s Screenshot Saturday #8

Yes I know it’s Sunday, I tried uploading these pictures yesterday but my ISP decided that wasn’t going to happen (something that might effect Wednesday’s private stream, we’ll see).

Anyway I am at the point where I’m getting to REALLY dislike working on this cube project, I think it’s coming along really well but WOW I’d much rather be working on my RPG.

Anyway the status rn is that all the work I’m doing is getting the app ready for release, fixing bugs, etc… that said I hope to add an algorithm viewer feature in the next few days to help teach some cubing – I even emailed Jessica Fridrich to ask about including her method in the app. Turns out it’s public domain so the email probably wasn’t necessary, but on the plus side I got to email Jessica Fridrich!!!!

In other news I am still working on my RPG, jotting ideas down and such, and I really think the foundations of the world and core characters are coming together! I’m excited to flesh it all out!

$5+ patron stream – (Cancelled, sorry!)

UPDATE: Well my ISP isn’t giving me the upload speed I need to stream right now, so unfortunately I can’t do this right now. I’ll make sure you get video instead before the end of the month, and hey if you want to chat feel free to drop by my discord <3

Hey so I mentioned it before but I’m thinking of making my monthly videos live, so that if you want to chat or ask questions we can do that. I’d like it if we could hang out I guess?

Anyway, it’ll be next Wednesday (the 25th), probably in the morning UTC.

I’m hoping to talk in depth about my cubes project, but if you want to talk about anything else just let me know. I could GLADLY get into talking about my RPG project too because I am full of ideas for it and I can’t wait to get back to it!

Oh and the VOD will stay up of course, so if you miss it you can still see it!

Early Build: Sophie’s Cubes

There’s not really much I can say about this unless you have no idea what it is, so here’s what it is:

• Play with cubes (you know, puzzle/magic cubes, kinda-rhymes with “Kubrik’s”)
• Choose cubes of whatever size you like (2x2x2, 3x3x3, all the way up to 30x30x30)
• Customise your cubes however you like. If you know my dice app, you know I include a LOT of customisation options
• Includes some challenging cube presets like the XYZRGB or the crossings cube, as well as various colourblind and other picture cube designs
• Advanced settings for scrambling and timers
• Set up input bindings for pretty much every kind of move you can make on a cube – if you memorise the algorithms you can solve cubes VERY fast

This is only two weeks work but I think you’ll find it’s super polished, I’m hoping to put it on stores alongside my dice app pretty soon (and then I’ll get back to my RPG!)

> Here’s the link to get it for Win/Linux/Mac < (you’ll need to link your patreon and itch accounts I think!)

Anyway, if you have a good time or make some fun cubes, let me know! <3

So I’m two weeks into this cube business, I’m working on getting it ready for release so that it wont take up any more. Realistically though, it might take another full week to get it released OK on all the platforms I want (I’d like it available at all the places you can get Sophie’s Dice). But I’m starting to feel super open to just pressing pause on the project if it wants to monopolise more of my time, I want to be focusing on my RPG!

But still, this cubes thing is going pretty well, it’s getting super polished and the PC version is almost done.

A notice for $5+ patrons; I’ll get you an early build of this, hopefully tomorrow! Also I’m thinking of having private patrons-only streams instead of monthly videos, I’m not sure when I’ll start but I’ll let you know in advance as best I can!

In other news, I just want to say I’m super grateful to all of you, and I hope you’re all doing OK, especially with things as stressful as they are right now. I know I’ve not been able to get myself to leave the house for a week or so now, but I’m able to not worry about that too much because of your support – so if you need support yourself I hope you can find it, and I hope if you’re stuck at home too that maybe my output can make that a little more pleasant.

I love you all, so please take care! <3
