In fact, your voice will be taken so seriously that I’d wager you’re helping someone you don’t even know in the future. 18819

The jam was a great experience and the work put into this collection is inspirational! It is a great opportunity to have one of my games posted on Steam as part of this collection, especially as I've just started doing gamedev 🤠 0176

These guys hold a special place in my heart. Not only is this where Hot Shot got it's start, but also the community behind this jam and all it's participants is unlike any other <3 033
Colin McInerney @colin.how · 28/09/2026WHEELJAM has absolutely kicked ass to run these past two years, and we wanted to try something a little different to get visibility on the games and the devs that make them, so we made a launcher and a bundle to bring some of the cool games we made to Steam! 0203

Colin McInerney @colin.how · 26/09/2026i'm in godot and using a topic-based dialogue system, so it's much less about branching dialogue and much more about the flow of the overall narrative and critical gameplay path 010
Colin McInerney @colin.how · 26/09/2026oh that's cool; all my stuff that VVD would cover is currently sitting in a google doc so it'd sure save me some trouble lmao 130
Colin McInerney @colin.how · 26/09/2026narrative folks -- what do y'all use when you need to outline a branching game? i don't need something heavyweight nor do i need to stub any dialogue in for now. i could probably just use some really basic flowchart software but i'm curious what works for y'all 12190
Colin McInerney @colin.how · 26/09/2026one of my absolute best friends had to bail on my wedding because he and his wife were sick, and as much as i’d have loved them to be there (he was a groomsman), i much preferred them getting better and not getting anyone else sick. it sucks but it’s the right call! 050

Colin McInerney @colin.how · 20/09/2026The games I'm making now all have target budgets of under $50k. It's not just a ratio thing of "if my inexpensive game blows up then my team set for the next several inexpensive ones," it's also because if a $50k game fails to make its return, my publisher won't _also_ go under. 0110
