Just added some nice visual effects! ⛏️✨

A laser mining tool and some ASCII explosions.

Added some nice visuals for the end goal also.

Anyone interested in trying an early demo?

Maybe I made the rocket launcher too strong 😅
I could make it work like this in loot rooms.

I tend to come up with my best ideas or solutions when I take a walk to think on things.

Does anyone else have similar experiences with anything else like a daily ritual?

How do yall approach concept art for 2D / small games?

I'm torn between:
1) Diving straight into code (my happy place)
2) Making rough sketches first
3) Using some tool I don't know about yet

I like open-source, dev-friendly tools with config files not GUI stuff.
Any recommendations?

You know those drop/dump chests in games where you throw everything to 'sort later'?

I have the same thing in my notes. Future Me™ will definitely organize...
What's does yours look like? 🙈

One thing I love about game jams is they push me to ship something. ⏱️

I feel like some ppl don't get into jams because "the theme doesn't match what I want to build"
Anyone recommend any "build whatever you want" jams that still have that motivating time constraint?

Been working on a small mining game with retro visuals. ⛏️

Been trying to focus on a simple but satisfying game loop - dig, collect, survive, repeat.
