Small thing, but @itch.io updated their dashboard page recently. They now let you choose how to sort your projects (by default is now last modified) and allow you to filter! No more scrolling through dozens of projects because your latest game starts with a W! #gamedev

I haven't had much time for pixel art this summer. Took a bit of time this evening to draw some houses. This one was my favourite. #pixelart

For the lisp game jam this year I made a little tower defence game. My twist was that the enemies would take the shortest path to N targets. Spoilers, people did NOT love this! I've just pushed a patch that adds flow field visualisation alexjgriffith.itch.io/dfrost #gamedev #pixelart #lisp

Going to call day 10 complete! I did some balancing over lunch. There is still a difficulty spike at level 7, nothing insurmountable. If anyone runs into a game crashing bug I'll try and fix it before submissions lock at Midnight EST. alexjgriffith.itch.io/dfrost #lispgamejam #gamedev #love2d

A few months ago I whipped together a little idle battler for the Lisp Game Jam in Love2D using fennel. I've finally got around to fixing the bugs and making the improvements recommended by the jam participants. alexjgriffith.itch.io/purgo #gamedev #pixelart

Lisp Game Jam is going well. So far I am only a little distracted writing a 1 bit tile editor... #gamedev #pixelart

Made a little static site with all the #lispGameJam submissions going back to 2016. Of course the generator was custom built with Emacs and elisp. lgg.alexjgriffith.com/index.html #gamedev #linux #emacs

Finished up adding a pathing example to libhex The weighted a-star search is much nicer than my old depth first search approach codeberg.org/alexjgriffit...
