Developer Dead Teapot has decided to pull the release of Shape Sender Deluxe from the Epic Games Store following Tim Sweeney's continued AI shilling.
Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮
THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT! We need to remind everyone that people don’t actually use AI everywhere! And if you wanna wishlist the game on Steam, here’s a cheeky link: store.steampowered.com/app/2976470/...

Did you play Launchball? Super funny seeing what games people think Shape Sender Deluxe is like! www.youtube.com/shorts/BWTSD...

what if you could watch videos while playing Shape Sender Deluxe adding brainrot as a feature is the real benefit of the custom wall shader
Another fun benefit of replacing the Unity Tilemap with my own system is that I can swap out the rendering with an ultra-specific shader which is a lot more performant and doesn't instantiate hundreds of sprite renderers! Details in the alt text for nerds 🤓

Without @dinopoloclub.bsky.social being cool as hell, I wouldn't have been able to make Shape Sender Deluxe and start @deadteapot.games. Side projects grow the industry!
NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?
We've been pretty quiet, finishing video games and such, but here's some cool stuff our friends have launched! @desktopexplorergame.com is AMAZING and also has a cute(?) mascot and well made puzzles. @eatpantgames.com also just launched and is simply delightful! Go check 'em out!

Shape Sender Deluxe, by @deadteapot.games Redirect incoming shapes to their designated exits using gravity/physics and placing objects and mechanisms onto the field. The object physics loop has a satisfying connection to the game's music

This will mean very little to most people but: I wrote a script to group by level, arrange by pack, and colour code by purpose my @yarnspinner.dev script nodes and I'm proud of it 😌

Shape Sender Deluxe used to have a scoring system to use as few tools as possible. BUT it stopped people just creatively *playing* with the systems and instead changed it to be about optimization which was less aligned with the game vision.
Game designers! Tell me about a feature / mechanic / thing you added to your game... but then you later removed it and that made the game better!
The final episode of Dev Plays Community Levels is up! ⭐ It's been super fun seeing all the creative things that people have been making in the community - it's delightful, surprising, and inspiring 😍 so thank you to everyone who made a level! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp1L...
I totally forgot to post Episode 4 and 5 (it was the weekend, gimmie a break!) But here's ⭐Episode 4 with levels from the Discord and @gleeson.dev : www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT68...
And here's ⭐Episode 5 with levels from @gleeson.dev and @skullschemes.bsky.social - thanks gang! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrtS...
