I still have to implement upgrades and some dialogue which hopefully I should be able to do. I have a bunch of upgrades planned but I might need to release a subset for the jam but that should be fine. I may have spent time making 3 boss fights lol

Been working on a game for the #gmtkjam recently! Heres some footage of the current state of one of the boss fights. Should likely be releasing in around 12 hours when the jam ends. If anyone wants to help playtest for balancing purposes let me know #gamedev #godot

The stream schedule for this week! This week is mostly progress on a game for the #honestjam and then a run through Replicat by @brainoid.bsky.social (featuring votes where you can toggle various shaders to mess with me. e.g. turning the screen into a dvd logo that bounces around)

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

Changes are mostly misc QoL things that were requested such as camera panning, an indicator for when theres an issue with a building, the ability to destroy buildings, etc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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
