If I could be just ONE thing,
it would be a game developer who also makes music and art and custom tools to make more of all of that and shows off these things in fun videos with animations and sound design and

Last night I had the sudden irreversible urge to make a blank Sudoku solver (in Haxe).
I tried to make this in Flash when I was a kid, and ended up deleting it because it would just crash. Redemption!
Y'ever solve a blank Sudoku? Look at it go! :)

Happy 2025 #gamedev!
I have a tradition where I post about what I did the past year. Here it is:
zanzlanz.com/n/101
I brought back "Mine Blocks 2", got a new apartment & computer, and learned new Blender skills.
It was a great year, and 2025 will be even better!
Wishing you all the very BEST! ❤️

My music "Hexagon and On" was used in this #GeometryDash level ("Hexagonestestestest" by Enlightenment)!
It's a sweet tribute to Super Hexagon, but by golly my eyes are still spinning!

🧵1/3 - Here's my way to make a fence in #Blender!
(I'm making an intro for the "Grumbler" video)
1. Add 3 simple Bezier points
2. Add vertical, horizontal, and diagonal array modifiers
3. Add 5 more Bezier points for the top part
4. Then do everything else!

When someone plays your game better than you or does something amazing with your game..
that's when they become the motivation, inspiration, and reason to #gamedev
My target audience is myself, but my favorite part is when people turn my games into their creative outlet ❤️

This month I'm making a chiptune instrument!
Well, I started this in 2017 and am finally wrapping it up:
- It started in my own music making app (Dubnia)
- I later made it an actual plugin with JUCE
- I've now REMADE it as a legit VST3 with its own UI!
It's my favorite #chiptune sound ever!
