I’m feeling very grateful to everyone who stopped by and played with us this weekend. Really loved the conversations we had 💚

Our games are getting a brand new visual identity, created in collaboration with Corpus studio. ✨ Come and meet them a Parc de la Villette this weekend !

I'm doing an event this weekend in Paris at Parc de la Villette. I'll be presenting the many games we've created with the collective. Please come by if you're in the area !

Loved my december gaming. Age of Steam with the Sweden Recycling map was very exiting, I wish I could play AOS more often. Owner's Choice was also a great surprise. Railway Boom is not as unique as I hoped, but I still enjoyed it.

I did manage to squeeze some plays this month. Loved Colorado Midland, Confucius was an interesting discovery.

Simone Weil in @le1hebdo.bsky.social "If we search with genuine attention for the solution to a geometry problem and if, after an hour, we are no further along than when we started, we have nevertheless advanced, during every minute of that hour, into another, more mysterious dimension. [...] " 👇

Game highlights of the month. Really loved Age of Rails, and Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars by @mropla.bsky.social

This one is quite tricky, took me a few tries. Seed : 80309067

The event where my game was playable, along with some food around the « undergroud » idea, is now over. It was very cool to see people try the demo. Now I have a ton of improvements to make in the game 🥹 #undergroundfood #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Glimps into a current project ⛅

Got a lot of interesting games played this month. Iberian Gauge by @amabel.bsky.social might be my favorite.

I posted a devlog about Balkan Bounds on @processing.org forums, if anyone interested.

My buddy @achtaitaipai.com project odyc.dev got selected for the OSS program by @appwrite.io ! Thanks to Appwrite, a brand new online editor for Odyc is on the way with new funky features !

I was caught today by the thought with my #eggjam game Oeuf that maybe the egg-shape is getting in the way (specifically: that you spend a lot of your time orienting your egg in the right direction). I tried out with a spherical egg, but to my relief that was less fun! #godotengine

I did a game dev workshop last week in Paris with @kaplayjs.com. It was a great weekend thanks to the genius kids that came by. I was also blessed by sunshine ☀️ and by the invaluable help I got from the civic service team 💪 !

I've updated my docs for @kaplayjs.com [in french], with a new, more flexible template which is easier to read and transform. Thanks to @achtaitaipai.com for his contributions. Feel free to try it out : martiansparlor.com/ateliers/kap...

Had a blast this weekend playing train games with some veterans of the genre in Saint-Malo. A rich and inspiring experience ! Thanks to Alain and Xavier for hosting the event.

Very happy with my first workshop session about procedural generation. The participants were very into it and got a real grip on their protocols. Looking forward for the next session this week.

Currently updating my documentation on @kaplayjs.com. Doing my best to offer the most accessible experience, while remaining coherent and open to creative ideas.

Prototype for a procedural generation workshop. I tried different protocols today with interesting results. The bingo chips and spinner are very handy. Drawing colored chips to define colors works well, but is a little more laborious. Rolling dice turns out to be a bit too tedious.

First draft looking great 🌴🐠🌸

First stamp prototypes are looking great 🌴☀️

Insightful take on AI generated art. It's vigorating to hear some critical perspective. The article tackles the impact of AI generated content having a place in our culture despite its incapacity of creating something meaningful.

Today I created images for stamps that I'll be using in my procedural generation workshop. Was heavily inspired by all the Bitsy gems out there on @itch.io

@kaplayjs.com is a wonderful library that I use a lot in my workshops. Over the years I put out a documentation page to help me implement game ideas quickly with the participants. The whole thing can be found here : martiansparlor.com/ateliers/kap...

First draft for a workshop about procedural generation. The aim is to get children to imagine drawing protocols using a wide range of random inputs, and then see how it goes by manually executing it on paper with stamps.

Currently working on a little train game with AI opponents. Updates coming soon !
