okay it’s hermit crab day for the house plants, everyone get in line

When the german translator can't be bothered with gravitas.

Tusculum have the noble goal of widening their editions until they can fit the full title without line breaks on the spine (1988 vs 2017 editions). Almost there, kid!

Enjoying trying to make the custom map browser for #OeufGame nice for the new update. People made very good levels and so I want to make it very easy to find/play them :)

DESIGN QUANDRY for steam workshop, to help people find their way around I grade levels with difficulty. HOWEVER some (often very good!) levels start easy and get hard, and it feels mean to say that they're "HARD" when really anyone can have a good time with them.

Another fun evening working on Oeuf City with friends ^^

my level of the week pick for #OeufGame - "the checkers machine" by yellow :) store.steampowered.com/news/app/383...

Spent an evening packing envelopes :) got through three rolls of sellotape!

Yes great bookshop

Oeuf livestream, testing the collaborative oeuf city map! - twitch.tv/increpare (everyone welcome to join + test - you'll need to go to the 1.4 test branch though - see #map-editor in the discord for information discord.gg/tWHdFkxPaX :) )

First international test coin arrived (in the UK) - I'll send some more this week :) it's going to take a while - I'm doing it gradually to be sure they don't get lost, but it will happen. I'll email each person as I send them out.

Started this again from scratch because I lost grip of the analysis - going very slowly this time, building up lots of test cases (49 and counting)

New bit added to Oeuf City: cats!

Stone sinks but boats float! #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame

Ok, I think I've found a productive and contained way to talk about #OeufGame levels I like. I'm going to do a "increpare's pick" posts on the steam page where I highlight levels, and give a PHYSICAL PRIZE (stickers) to people who get it. store.steampowered.com/news/app/383...

My initial reaction to the #OeufGame level "Lighthouse" by @toddsnegh.bsky.social ( steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... ) #OeufGame www.youtube.com/shorts/7BaKX...

glow-up

Another fun session make Oeuf City with #OeufGame friends @doomkitty3000.bsky.social and @machka6.bsky.social :)

twitch.tv/increpare livestreaming #OeufGame multiplayer editing test session :)

I got really excited playing an #OeufGame level yesterday by @toddsnegh.bsky.social ( steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... ). It starts off with lots of jagged rocky bits, where each one feels like a micro-level...very interesting, something you can only I think do in physicsy platformers...

now streaming on twitch: trying out community levels for #OeufGame - i'll be hosting a server, so come join in the fun! #twitch

#PuzzleScript static analysis fun - splitting up rule-groups based on flow analysis (looking at two rules in a rule group, we ask if rule A can possibly add anything that might cause rule B to trigger, then partition the rule-groups based on that graph). Seems like it might be quite the speedup!

Following the successful receipt of one coin, the first small batch is now ready to send off to Germans (waiting for international test coins to make it to their destinations before I start on them in bulk).

Very picturesque evening spent in Oeuf City building things with egg friends :)

Very special part of the #OeufGame Oeuf City map is this cube by Machka6 - the sort of thing that, as the person in charge of the physics, I would *never* have dared to make, but it's actually very robust ^^ (coming soon with the 1.4 update!) youtu.be/50khaPtE0qM

Sometimes it's better not even to ask how such things came about...

Thanks for the sticker suggestion, @queenjazz.gay !

horrors beyond human comprehension

The latest episode of the Draknek & Friends Official Podcast is out! We chat to Steven Lavelle (@increpare.bsky.social) about how Stephen's Sausage Roll started as an attempt to make a bad game, and making a level editor for Oeuf. Check it out wherever you get podcasts draknek.org/podcast

I recently ran a tiny Flickgame game poem jam as part of London Games Festival. Games made in less than an hour, and paired with a haiku. Check out the entries here: itch.io/jam/game-poe... Most just take a minute or two to play, and work great on mobile thanks to @increpare.bsky.social.

We'll be playing Causal Loop, A Little Perspective, Towers of Scale, and Stephen's Sausage Roll on stream tomorrow! Join us at 4:00pm GMT / 8:00am PDT / 11:00am EDT / 5:00pm CET on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/thinky...

Oeuf City (collaborative test map for multiplayer map editor - it's turned into something quite epic!) acquired a lighthouse, a dragon, and a turtle today! (ht to @doomkitty3000.bsky.social who hung out there today building with me)

Sad I’m a Tony, not a Midas. #palindrome

Working on the standalone iOS version of #FlickGame means I get to rely on local storage not getting randomly cleared so we can store multiple locally so I get to work on a little browser 🙃

Happy 10th year anniversary to @increpare.bsky.social masterwork Stephen's Sausage Roll

these fellows look very polite

or maybe a logo based on the layout like this

Any idea for good #FlickGame sticker ideas? It doesn't have a mascot or anything, so I'm not sure what's good...
