Deven Bloggerson: Completing a Season
Notice! Big milestone hit: I am the first person in sports history to complete a full season of Super Slam Dunk Touchdown. The semifinals and finals seem to be working as designed, though more testing is needed. The game now tracks who won the semifinal 1 match, uses this...
Lost another week
This is not what anyone wants to hear, or what I want to say, but a weekly dev blog is all about holding myself accountable. I did a lot of moving things and tax things and contract work and not a lot of SSDT development. I feel bad about...
Moving is consuming my life
But enough excuses! I did some work over the weekend and on Monday to bring SportsPoints FanPoints to the forefront of the SSDT Season experience, in the form of an informative windowy thing (official name??). This new feature shows you information about your standing in the universe of Season...
Nothing to see here
This was a very busy week with moving-related things, and trying to finish up some contract work I have going on. As a result, I didn’t get to work on SSDT much beyond playing through several seasons and making notes. Tune in next week for some actual progress and...
Dev Blog 8: Playing (most of) the Season

Dev Blog 7: sports points and tryouts
This week was bogged down with my horrible cold, but I don’t really get any days off so progress was made in spite of coughing up a lung. Gross! Xboxing I can’t get too far from the Xbox build, or things like this happen: I try to keep the...

Looks like I’ve come down with something, just in time for the South Bay Button Mashers‘ indie games local showcase at AFK tomorrow. I feel pretty beat down but I am gonna make it, and will be using lots of hand sanitizer! Game Modes vs Game Types One thing...
Season Mode Dev Blogg 5: Extra Seasoning
Aside from 8 million moving related things and lots of trips to the vet to keep 2 geriatric cats alive, some measurable amount of progress has been made on the SSDT Season Mode that everyone* is talking about! *not everyone Once I had gotten the Team HQ screen to...
Dev Bloggy Blogg: Blee oh double G
Things! This week, I had to test the Season Mode data dialog on Xbox One and, no surprise, there were some bugs. It’s kind of a confusing system of asynchronously checking the cloud for a save slot’s data, running a fail/success/no data callback, then looking at the next slot....
Derv Blerg 3
Well this week started out great as you can see. My laptop decided it would no longer boot. As the sole employee of Tipping Goat, I got to be the IT guy and ended up fixing the hard drive with command line tools, after trying to get a working...
