making an echolocation game for ludum dare #ldjam #gamedev #pico8

There’s a bit in this around sixteen minutes in where Lu chops up an airhorn sample and it’s better than every viral livecoding clip you’ve ever seen, how do they do it, man.

I adore the music on this one

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

New Blog: Let Games Die "Let Code Die is rooted in a trust that if we have code that we like and we lose it, we can write it again. What would it mean to trust ourselves as game developers, designers, critics and players in the same way?" www.possibilityspace.org/blog/posts/l...

Speaking of im-sim adjacent stuff, I am downright upset that Rhell only has ~120 user reviews so far. It's a fantastic, beefy game. Like Scribblenauts by way of Baba Is You. A world full of problems and SO many verbs to solve them with. Also challenge modes, a built-in randomizer and more.

I wanted to see what this would physically look like on the desk so I made a quick mock-up in Blender

Finally a valid perspective!

I put a bit more time into my #picotron twin-stick shmup prototype.

made a song about a silly robot that ends up in heaven!! soundcloud.com/sonatuzun/si...

i've made a little online multiplayer pong game. It's quite fun and physics based. Play it solo, or with anyone and everyone in the world verbante.itch.io/pong-pong-pong #gamedev

let me know if you wanna raise me to 4 in this scale. For a while now "Super Point and Click Adventure 2018" has an optional pricing of $100 dollars but no one purchased it yet

I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

i've made something #strudel #livecoding

So that recent shader preview plugin for Godot? We're discussing how to implement it as a native feature. github.com/godotengine/... I see it as breakpoints, personally, and made some rough mockups. Would you find this kind of presentation helpful?

unbelievable jam idea

Woah didn't even think this was possible

guys I'm just addicted to game dev. I dont even care what I work on now these days. It's just my dream and life's greatest pleasure and honor to be making cool shit with you all. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

My main way of controlling difficulty was through the game speed. But at one point it becomes impossible to avoid oncoming cars. So I'm adding a "hard mode" to the different hazards. For instance, having a train of cars rushing from behind you instead of just one. #pico8 #gamedev

found some great dev advice

turns out WPS office was making my fans go crazy all this time, been fan noise free for the last 8 hours

"Ezeuwa, Niapuzemja, Rregemunt. This world has many names, but they all bear one of two meanings: The King’s World, or The Abandoned Place" This is the world where Catacomb Kids takes place! Probly haven't drawn a fantasy map since I was a kid. Still workin' out the details but it's a fun project!

Ahhhh I love fictional game screenshots

If you've been waiting for a 4-player one-button finger soccer game where you can play the piano AND the triangle, the wait is soon over...

well, fine then, it belongs to us now. animatorarchive.neocities.org

Damn I knew the finger game before it got big

chat. i did it.

what happens when you give 3 different authors the exact same TINY sprite sheet? you get 3 COMPLETELY different PICO-8 games!! it's... adamatomic.itch.io/update-jam 🎰 A Jackpot of Skulls by @brainfruit.bsky.social 🐤 Bird Watcher by @curseofremy.bsky.social 🐸 Frogwell by @adamatomic.bsky.social

Made it so that the center of mass of the fingers is lowered slightly if they're grounded and pressing the button, making them roll backside up. Adds a little bit more control. Also trying out speech bubbles.
