Getting stuck causes players to explore the world.

Dying causes players to think about what they're doing.

An "impossible" situation causes players to learn how the game works and eventually achieve the impossible.

We need to be able to design *some* games around these fundamental ideas.

After making some small prototypes to see what game I wanna make next, I started working on a Broughlike kind of game where you play a wizard and only move based on random choices you have each turn with limited mana and I really like this, I even started making sprites for it!

Just submitted my ttrpg Fish & Dice and if you made stuff you should submit something too :)
I NEED YOUR HELP.

We're down to the last 30+ hours of the games submission for the Play for Palestine charity drive and we are at 258 submissions. I'm hoping we can hit 300 by the close 🇵🇸
