Sometimes I make games and people say they're decent.

I think Manifold Garden broke my brain.

Nothing quite like leaving a project for two weeks, going back to it, and blankly staring at the code wondering wtf any of it does.

Replayed Breath of the Wild's intro today and this really may be one of the best openings to a video game ever. Even disconnected from the rest of the game I really think the journey to leave the great plateau is just phenomenal.

It may be wildly unhealthy but my god 3-4am coding gets results

While not a video of the completed jam game, my team is starting to work on split screen multiplayer for our racing game! Here's how it's going! (UI and actual implementation into the level pending)

Whoops, forgot to make a post showing the conclusion of the hoverboard jam game - might need to post that tonight

Game Dev at 9pm is great and all until suddenly it’s not 9pm anymore and it’s actually 2am and the *big thoughts* are here

Not a massively productive day, but our hoverboarding sheep now has some subtle leaning when moving around which makes it feel much nicer, as well as automatic backwards leaning when approaching a wall or start of a hill to prevent some collisions (plus awesome new assets from @aellann.bsky.social )

Aaaaand Screenshot Saturday Pt. 2

Still needs more polish but I've been working on a few new cards for pongdemonium (refraction is a mindtrip), as well as some nicer animations for the endscreens (I really love how the score plays out now)

Screenshot (Screencap?) Saturday Pt. 1!

Been working on a hoverboarding game for a jam! (check out @zirclegames.bsky.social's post for more)

Fancy cinemachine camera is already adding so much energy to the game! (needs a bit more work tho)

Nothing like prototyping at the start of a game jam.

Hoverboarding Sheep

Still needs some stabilization work done so hills aren't so janky, but it's pretty fun so far

I didn’t think my favourite feature of Bluesky would be following mechanics but the ability to click a button and instantly follow a curated list of 50-100 game developers at a time is actually insane. My feed is finally pure!
