Screenshots of "Rainbow Rockets" 🌈 🚀 the game that asks: What if unicorns pursued space flight using rainbow-powered engines? (Inspired by #spaceflight simulator, #ksp #kerbalspaceprogram , and of course #unicorns)

So which one of you is responsible for arcade-dot-gov? 🤔 <looks at grok suspiciously...> #slop #gamedev

The #js13k theme is Unicorns and Rainbows this year. I think I have the rainbows nailed down, now how can I convince you that unicorns have a space agency? #gamedev #ksp #kerbal-like #javascript

Last month I created this little game with a long title that I like to describe as "What if Power-Washer Simulator, Core Keeper, and Red Dwarf all had a baby, and it was still too small to have a proper resolution". deathray.itch.io/blue-giant-s... #CoreKeeper #RedDwarf #LowRez

My wife was gifted a water bottle monogrammed with her lab's initials... and I just realized...

If 3D card prices explode, I guess we'll have to make lower fidelity games so that more people can play them. And that might force us to instead invest in fresh gameplay to help differentiate new games from existing titles. And maybe this means smaller, innovation focused teams. Hmm...

Gif of a movie you’ve watched more than six times. No Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated, or Pixar.

So true. If you write things no one wants to read, LLMs can help you immensely.

As I've wrapped up with #seaofcannons v1 for #gameoffjam, I have a few paths... - Start on a 2d rocket game - Expand on Sea of Cannons - Continue my Ultima-like - Do yet another game jam (bit jam, 7drl) - Youtube video on the making of Sea of Cannons

Finished my latest game in time for Thanksgiving. Grab a device and enjoy firing cannons at your family & friends! Highest score gets an extra piece of pie. 🥧 deathray.itch.io/sea-of-cannons #gamedev #webgames #p2p #2dwaves #seaofcannons

Name ideas: Sea of Pixels, Sea of Cannons, Battle for the Ectoil Sea, Cannon Party, ... ? 🗳 The plot/lore is that you're poor ship-captain mercenaries fighting over a sea region that is flush with "ectoil", a fuel from dead leviathans. The gameplay is just pew-pew though, so it's not that deep.

Finally some #screenshotsaturday shots of the game I've been working on for a few weeks for #GitHubGameOff It's a 2d, #javascript, physics-based, #p2p game where you frantically fire cannonballs at each other to get the high score. It still needs a name.

The answer to how do we keep kids safe online isn't destroy everyone's privacy. It's not force people to hand over their IDs to access legal content. And it's certainly not ban access to the tools that protect journalists, activists, and abuse survivors. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Off by a day. Forgot to celebrate.

I decided to let myself be distratced by a game jam for November ( #GitHubGameOff ). Making the 2d waves is fun, as is re-learning #pixijs, #matterjs, #peerjs. The goal is to make a #p2p #pvp game where you fire cannons at each other. Like Scorched Earth / Worms + Sea of Thieves.

Cleaning up #halloween... Does the skeleton spider go in the spider bin or the skeleton bin?

Thinking back on the billions Facebook spent on the metaverse... and wondering why they didn't try to build a Steam/itch clone as a first step? Seems like the obvious move for a for-profit company with a giant network.

This has many of the things I love: ☑️tiny moons, ☑️weird beautifully ugly aliens, ☑️robots, ☑️procedural generation, ☑️ecosystems.

I can relate to this! My #js13k game was rated poorly in part because the gameplay was slow and lengthy. I always set out to make something "fun" that will "win"... and then settle on an overly complicated game that I (and only I) find interesting.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Superdetermimism: Always Has Been

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length

I've completed my #js13k game: js13kgames.com/drafts/craft... 🧙‍♀️⚒️ Give "Crafty Cauldron" a whirl and let me know what you think! #css #JavaScript #witch #gamedev

I guess you can patent basically any vague thing? I hope this dies promptly in court.

How it started ➡️ How it's going A witch-crafty game for #js13k has slowly taken form. #gamedev #css #javascript 🐈‍⬛

My wife really likes this show Outlander. Unfortunately it does not appear to take place in Vvardenfell.

Age verification via face scans is not safety — it's surveillance. Biometric age guessing is inaccurate, discriminatory, and creepy AF. Stop normalizing it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

😳🐈‍⬛ This is a tough theme. Bad/good luck, witches, night stealth, Poe, ... ? I bet a lot of games just feature a black cat character.

Only 24 HOURS left before the theme reveal and the start of the #js13k 2025 competition! Are you ready? js13kgames.com #gamedev #gamedevjs #compo #competition #countdown #start #JavaScript #HTML5 #indiedev #indiegames

I'm four years late to this, but still found it funny. steamcommunity.com/app/1507780/...

Games are art Some art sucks

The view from the International Space Station as an aurora meets the sunrise in space.

Brianna is building an Ultima-like -- like me -- but hers is so much more advanced and polished. Finally it exists on Steam for wishlisting.

🔥🛞While reading Burning Wheel: "These are the most amazing rules ever!" After a moment of reflection: "How on Earth could I ever convince someone to play this?" 🙃

Exactly 13 DAYS left to start #js13k 2025! js13kgames.com We've added first batch of this year's Partners, Experts, and Prizes to the website and will be announcing them all in the coming days. #gamedev #gamejam #compo #competition #codegolf #challenge #JavaScript #HTML5 #indiedev #indiegames

My next game will be co-developed with Blinky and Clyde. 👻👻 😂

What are your favorite weapon & armor rules for a #CRPG? Looking for inspiration that is less complex than Dwarf Fortress, but more complex than "X weapon damage minus Y armor rating". #rpgdesign

I didn't work on #WULF too much this week, but I did build a town, complete with shop names, and added some new sprites for townsfolk and crops. #screenshotsaturday for a #webtech #Ultima #Ultimalike framework, a #CRPG #gamedev project
