Game developer, cat mum, juggler of too many projects (which you can play at https://elladisenchanted.itch.io/)
Took a couple of days off normal dev work to join the Thinkycon Jam after being inspired by a couple of the talks.

Made a little word game inspired by a mobile game my partner and I used to play together.

Been working on an update to the presentation of puzzles in In Boxes. Splitting the puzzles up into discrete chapters of 9 puzzles each with their own theme and look.

Here's an early preview of the new level select screen and the transition between chapters.

Been doing some much needed spaghetti code fixes for the data side of In Boxes, which made it super easy to make some tools that will speed up puzzle creation.

Maybe I can pretty them up a bit for some puzzle creation for players?

Especially when they do this, I adore Chef RPG but cmon now all of your chest moving by itself then the rest?

I've been seeing a fair bit of "you should make an incremental game" advice, so I did (well a short prototype anyway).

It's about patting cats and you can play it here: elladisenchanted.itch.io/patcremental

No more infinite baps, but there are some visual updates!

I've programmed a few infinite for and while loops but this is definitely my 1st infinite bap loop.

Wrapping up the last few things on Minute Farms, my entry for the #GMTK game jam.

My goal for the jam was to scope something properly and seeing as the last few hours I've just been adding extra little upgrades for the end of the loop, feels like a success!
