Uploaded Floodworks to Newgrounds in addition to it being on itch. Gives another spot to play the game when itch has downtime or for people that prefer Newgrounds. Should be doing the same for all future post jam updates I make #gamedev #brackeysgamejam www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

Ategon @ategon.dev · 20/11/2025

Made some updates to my personal site to make it a landing page with all of my socials so I can start linking it everywhere as the main call to action instead of having various links. Includes links to platforms related to my gamedev, music, and game videos. #gamedev #webdev

Pushed an updated version of one of the jam games I made last year. Its a game where you need to build up a city to produce enough food and water for your population as the water levels are rising and flooding your city. team-auboreal.itch.io/floodworks #gamedev #gamejam #brackeysgamejam

Working on some post jam builds for various jam games I made to clear out my backlog before I start working on new projects. Should be getting my first updated one out this week and here's an updated thumbnail I made for it #gamedev #d2jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 15/09/2025

Did some work to add achievements to the d2jam site. Had them in before the jam and just pushed a couple more changes to improve the visuals. They work by players self reporting completion and based on the amount of people that have gotten an achievement it is assigned a rarity. #GameJam #D2Jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 18/08/2025

Been working on some more features for d2jam.com. Ill be doing some posts showing off new features I added to the site in the lead up to the jam (which starts Sep 5th) The first new feature is the addition of a localization system for people to browse the site in other languages #GameJam #D2Jam

Day 2 progress on my #GMTKjam snake game Got most of the base systems in now. Day 3 should be adding in a lot of the combat and adding content to the larger zones past the starting area #gamedev #gamejam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 31/07/2025

Day 1 progress on a jam game for the #GMTKjam Working on a snake-like game but instead of eating things directly you would loop around them to collect them. Looping mechanic still pending creation though #gamedev #gamejam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 12/07/2025

Made some pixel art designs for a r/place type canvas event! One for programming.dev and one for #d2jam. Both include smaller designs (for d2jam games from the jam, and p.d communities on the site). For anyone interested the event starts in around an hour at canvas.fediverse.events #pixelart

Back from finishing up uni + chilling for a couple months and going to start trying to ramp up posts again. Ill probably be starting with a few every week or something and eventually get back up to the daily posts Been doing some work on a splash page for @d2jam.com recently #GameJam #D2Jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 11/03/2025

Been getting a bunch of work for uni lately (hence the no posts) but that should clear up in a couple months and then I can start having a proper post schedule again Did some work on d2jam.com again recently to add in the Theme Elimination system & some visual improvements #GameJam #D2Jam

041

Ategon @ategon.dev · 13/02/2025

Another daily d2jam.com update. Today I worked on post previews and updating the visuals of the featured streamers area. Post previews let you see the content of the post without needing to navigate off of the page (by opening it up in a drawer). Useful for compact post styles. #GameJam #D2Jam

The d2jam site with a drawer open on the right with the post title author and content (for a post that was just clicked on)

The featured streams section showing a stream thumbnail with viewer count relative tags and arrows to navigate to previous and next featured streams

Ategon @ategon.dev · 11/02/2025

Pushed an update to add image uploading support to d2jam.com Used for adding images to all of the text editors (e.g. post creation) and for uploading profile pictures and banners.Also spent a bit improving the backend structure to make it cleaner and easier to maintain #GameJam #D2Jam

An example route after my changes to clean it up. Theres rate limit middleware, middleware to authenticate the user and then get user info from the database, and then the function to delete the user (since its the /user DELETE route)

072

Ategon @ategon.dev · 08/02/2025

Pushed an update to d2jam.com Added more options to the settings page (ability to change your name, banner image, and bio) and added some image previews for the profile picture and banner image Also started on a profile page to see information about someone #GameJam #D2Jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 31/01/2025

Another game jam update. Instead of working on UI like I should be doing I added in some more types of enemies (slimes, bosses, and things jumping up from the bottom of the screen) #PirateJam #Gamedev

Ategon @ategon.dev · 30/01/2025

More game jam game progress. Added in powerups, a combo system, and a death system Also have some other misc polish everywhere like the text that appears at the top. Next up would be to add in a main menu, death screen + leaderboard system #PirateJam #Gamedev

Ategon @ategon.dev · 29/01/2025

Working on a game for the pirate software jam + stream team jam real quick before those end. This is the current progress of 8 hours Ive managed to make it impossible to record a video without the bitrate being demolished. And this is only half the planned post processing #PirateJam #Gamedev

0130

Ategon @ategon.dev · 28/01/2025

Pushed a new update to d2jam.com to add a comment section to posts. Comments can also get comments on them and they can be liked similar to how posts can Also made likes reflect instantly in the UI even if the backend is still processing #d2jam #gamejam

021

Ategon @ategon.dev · 23/01/2025

New d2jam.com update, moderators can now sticky posts which makes them show up above everything else This would be used for main posts such as announcements relating to the event #d2jam #gamejam

161

Ategon @ategon.dev · 21/01/2025

Another D2Jam update: Tags! Added tags as a feature so that you can add tags to posts you make on the site to convey what they are about Users can use the tag button above the post feed to filter posts by tags If you have anything you want to be a tag let me know #d2jam #gamejam

010

Ategon @ategon.dev · 20/01/2025

Daily Godot Tip #40: If you enable always on top in the project settings, your game window will always show on top of everything else even if you use the editor in the background Useful to not need to tab back to it after changing one thing in the inspector #godot #gamedev #godottips

Ategon @ategon.dev · 18/01/2025

Another update to the d2jam.com game jam site - Added the ability to like posts - Added post sorts where you can sort by newest, top (most likes), or oldest - Added post styles to change how you want posts in the post feed to look (e.g. if you like a most compact style) #gamedev #d2jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 17/01/2025

Some more game jam site progress. Revamped the design to make it look nicer and added refresh tokens so that people can stay logged in longer (instead of only having access tokens) #gamedev #d2jam

Ategon @ategon.dev · 17/01/2025

Daily Godot Tip #39: You can create code regions between #region and #endregion that allow you to collapse that entire section into 1 line Useful for things you don't edit but still would need to scroll past #godot #gamedev #godottips

Ategon @ategon.dev · 16/01/2025

More progress on the game jam I'm working on. Got the forum working as well as login and signup systems Next step is going to be to add more to the forum such as likes and comments #gamedev #d2jam

Daily Godot Tip #36: Export range (used to create a box in the inspector for choosing a number within a range) can have extra things added to it in any additional arguments after the main 3 One of these is the addition of a suffix that can be set to whatever you want #godot #gamedev #godottips

The code

@export_range(0, 100, 1, "suffix:m") var distance: int
@export_range(0, 100, 1, "suffix:beans") var beans: int
