A small moment from a little game I've been working on in

Happy New Year! Today I published Quote a Day, my simple daily quote app for the #Playdate.

Comes with 250 handpicked quotes, or add your own. You can also customize your schedule to get a new quote category each day of the week.

If there are music notes coming up soon, then the AI aligns itself with the closest note. If the player gets too close, the AI instead lines up with the next-closest note.

Wormsign's AI behavior is super-simple.

If there are no music notes, then the AI will alternate between either mimicking the player's inputs or inverting the player's inputs (with a slight delay). This makes a nice little "ballet" between the two sandworms.

For Abbot's Gambol, I originally rendered card numbers as Roman numerals but players had trouble following when a card's value changed.

It now defaults to Arabic numerals, but I left a setting in the options menu if you want to make it harder for yourself!

"Please respect our parks."

Doing some experimenting with 3d in #godot as I gear up for my next project.

Abbot's Gambol is a Gothic-GameBoy card game that you can play for free in your browser. Rounds are fast and simple - the first player to get a run of five cards wins.

Check it out: mrmeowmurs.itch.io/abbots-gambol

Here's a short clip of Wormsign, my meditative, Dune-inspired browser game! Roam the desert as a giant sandworm 🏜️

You can play it right now for free (takes ~7 minutes to complete): mrmeowmurs.itch.io/wormsign
