Crafting worlds through game design 🎮

"Ever try stuffing a gaming console into a file smaller then a cat meme?" 😹

As an experiment I created a podcast about my game Space Huggers using AI tools and this is the result! 👍

The new Voxel Plugin looks pretty good.

My website has a new theme! After having the same look for over 10 years it was due for a change. The new theme is a moded version of Rachana by WPKoi. It auto adjusts layout for mobile. There's a little dweet easter egg if you scroll to the bottom! 😁👍

Had a lot of fun building a Telegram HTML5 game extension built on top of the best framework in web3: Scaffold-ETH 2 by @austingriffith and the @buidlguidl team! Being selected as a finalist is a bonus 💖

The extension uses one of the coolest game engines on the web, LittleJS by @frankforce, do check it out!

My original game Birdfood is now on Newgrounds, support it here: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/946533

Took a while to bootstrap it, but finally managed to get Unreal Engine 5 up and running on Linux.

Time to start doing some tutorials!

Happy to share that my original game "Birdfood" was featured on Phaser.io and in the Phaser World and GameDev.js newsletters! They also wrote a nice article about it here: https://phaser.io/news/2024/08/birdfood

Why do you need a token for a web3 game?

please I'm not talking to whales who don't play the game

actual reasons

Fun and socially eventful weekend, but I still made some minor progress!
Building one virtual brick at a time. 😊

I'm excited to share that LittleJS Engine has just surpassed 3000 stars on GitHub! 🌟⭐️💫

This incredible milestone is only possible with amazing support from our community. 😄👍

Thank you all for believing in LittleJS. Full steam ahead! 🚂🚀

Wallet connect and wallet abstraction + reading the amount of NFTs from the contract.

That was another issue driving me nuts, but we got there! It's time to connect all these parts. 🚀

the thing is so Annoying me is the “ design” part
I hate to design the characters (frames and etc)
But when we reach the code part it’s fine.I mean it. It’s really fine.
P.s. the picture is made by ai and it’s not my design
any way when we have some one to design it’s easy 🫡

Did a play test with the kids and my son found 2 bugs in my game. I’m so proud 🥹

OK I managed to code up a working prototype in about 4 hours. Thoughts? Ignore the fact that I'm not good at this game.

Blink Blink. Closed eyes just mean rendering the open eyed sprites behind the background layer. 👀

Working on a game that is pure JS / CSS / HTML and for once I'm letting ChatGPT 4o help me along the way

Note that I generally know what it is I want to do with code, so this saves me the trouble of looking things up or getting hung up on syntax... it wouldn't work so well if I didn't already know how to code
