I made one with a weird game mechanics: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1778910/Let_It_Slide/

You have to drag to move. Sounds painful, and it is. That's really weird and you have to re-learn how to move your character, which can be frustrating and show how used we are to standard movements. After a few minutes you get used to it and it becomes fun.

I made it when I researched how to "physically" play differently.

So you're implying I am responsible for the "bad" things people will make with this (unknown) library. That I literally use for my everyday job for functionalities clients ask for. I stated that I use it to make my life easier and so I just shared it. "things that shouldn't be lerped" are a subjective/UX responsibility. As a creadev I try to propose good practices but I don't often have the final word.

(IMHO "lerp" scrolling is a truly horrible experience)

Neat, one of the best tricks in the creadev toolbox! ;)

Shameless plug: https://github.com/titoasty/zmooth I just published a JS library to easily make smooth interpolations, just by setting a "to" value (after doing it by hand for years) I hope you'll find it useful!

Non distracting, no vocals, can select a few different streams.

Similar here.

What's working for me is listening to the same lofi channel, which helps me focus without being disturbed by the music because it's, hmm, generically bland. Like some brain filling. But still enjoyable. (a bit harsh definition for a genre I like)

I become too emotionally invested when I listen to any other kind of music.

So lofi for work!

I get it, no problem. Some characters are extremely hard to make them fit in 3-4 pixels and I cheated on some too!

Yes, I was simply experimenting on how low you can go. I love small fonts! And Simplifier's one is clearly impressive.

This. Exactly this.

I'm more into post-rock (gy!be <3) but I totally relate to your feeling. This massive/overload wall of sound blanketing your brain.

Even if there's nearly no lyrics in post-rock, it is strictly impossible for me to work while listening to it.

And shoegaze/postrock are something you have to enjoy with headphones. The work on stereo is always phenomenal. (I wonder if some bands used binaural beats to go further this way. kinda reminds me I-doser ;) )

Yep. 15 years later, still messed up. Not with delusions, but with the constant fear of being in that state again. The descent (is it the correct translation?) was more than particularly rough. I was kinda anxious before, but after it's been a constant hell of anxiety/depression/stress, avoiding anything that can trigger these feelings (yeah, I'm looking at you, sugar).

So be extreeemely careful with this.

My old portfolio (old because most links are dead now, but still use it)

If you're on desktop, you can enjoy the raymarched sphere with moving colors as you hover links.

Thanks! Oh yes it's cute, this is the kind of aesthetic I aimed for, to counterbalance the pain of playing with cuteness. When I read this, I realize I'm a monster.
