i mainly want to sit at the computer and make things forever

the puzzle cannot be datamined if the puzzle is datamining

the properties which make reliable and good software are sort of opposite those which make interesting puzzles. in software you might want something to "eventually" happen, or "always" happen (ie. along every execution path). in puzzles you want only a few scenarios where things happen

Making a video game is hard

check out this game! i helped @grodygrody.bsky.social make this for #fallingblockjam along with @handcrushe.dev - it's an interesting "spin" on tetris where you get to romance your favorite piece. and keep an eye out, because this game will only get bigger..! #godot #indiedev #tetris #gamerlife

actually in the welcome center now!

i will be at kendall square open space today from 6-9pm showing off 3 games! PLOVERDRIVE, METEMPSYCHOSIS, and the unreleased “grenadier”. if you like weird small twitchy games, or games you can play with friends, or you hate video games, you should stop by. #bostongamedev #godot #indiedev #gamedev

check out this game we made for #gmtkjam! can’t say much without spoiling, but it’s a good time… see if you can escape the loop. #godot #indiedev #gmtk #gamedev #gamerlife #wormlife

i've seen that some games have been completely removed from the platform. it seems hard to find games based on tags now. is there any way of figuring out who was affected by this? archival data? is anyone putting something together? some urgent preservation is needed it seems #itchio #gamedev

i made some music for PLOVERDRIVE, a game by @handcrushe.dev, @soulware.us, and bassdrop.club! check out this sampler, and if you like it you can download the whole soundtrack for free! you should play the game too... splitsuns.bandcamp.com/album/plover...

this is a good post- the categorizations are interesting. i recently made a game like this, and this got me thinking about it again, since I didn't really set out to make a metroidbrania. but now that I have one, I was curious - where does it fit in? some light spoilers for BROKEN KEYBOARD HERO 🧵

- made: platformer, 1p arcadey action, drafting roguelite, “metroidbrania”, animal simulator, 1v1 topdown action - want: sokoban, interactive fiction, fps, rpg, tactics, shmup, metroidvania, immersive sim, walking around game,

check this game out!! i worked on it and i'll be at boston's local godot meetup tonight with @handcrushe.dev multiplayer-only was not a design space i expected to explore anytime soon, but it was very fun to make and playtest with people #godot #indiedev #gamedev #gamerlife
