I made Soccer Physics and several other somewhat successful games in the 2010s. Today, I'm a hobbyist game dev focusing on making freeware local multiplayer games using #Godot.

Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.
ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket...
It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

Every orchestra needs an air horn? So stupid, but it's actually pretty fun to toot.

A few weeks ago there were posts here on Bsky about switching to using Linux as a game developer and what steps to take. I finally found the time to install Bazzite on my old PC and ... it's just two steps: download Godot and run it? And everything just works: Blender, Aseprite, Audacity, all good 🤷♂️

If you've been waiting for a 4-player one-button finger soccer game where you can play the piano AND the triangle, the wait is soon over...

in Wirelight, enemies have a "buffer", a sekiro-style posture bar. but in this case, you damage it by knocking them into things .. walls, each other... yourself #screenshotsaturday #godot

For #ScreenshotSaturday, here's my silly bots trying to play this one-button soccer game.
I don't have a to-do list for this project either, so the progress I'm making on it is pretty chaotic, just the way I like it. My favorite new feature of the week is that fancy RGB keycap :--)

My plan with the mini Casio was that I would have it play the game's menu music. I could have it play in-game music, too, but I'm already losing my mind listening to it 8--)

The state of my bots... They try to kick the ball if it is in range, but mostly they just do random things, and for this project, they're probably fine enough already.
Something like this could also be the practice area for the game - to learn the controls and to just do stuff like play the piano...

I'm trying out posting casual, more behind the scenes-y gamedev videos on #Loops. Sharing GIFs on Bsky has been good: it lets me see the projects I'm working on in a different light, and motivates me to improve on them. Maybe these will work, too.

does anyone have any game design articles/videos/talks about non-addictive game design principles?
lots of "the perfect feedback loop!" and "how to make your game extra addictive!" videos out there, so was just wondering if someone's done the opposite in terms of design philosophies.

I'll make an other free interactive guide after the tween one.
Genuinely curious, which one would you like to see first?

The googly eyes will make a fine addition to the wiener game, too. One reason I keep doing side projects along this one is to learn 3D more, and to better understand what I can get done with my skill set. I could also share some 3D assets between projects, which I didn't really think of before.

I can't have collisions for CPUParticles, but I guess I could just spawn this glitter as rigidbodies, and as they've finished moving, I could just delete the rigidbodies and keep the meshes in a multimesh. Something like this. #Godot

Only very work-in-progress things to show for #ScreenshotSaturday this time. Some placeholder sound effects, and a few attempts to make the game's events more readable: added hit markers, new particle effects and slowed down time for the more powerful shots.
