jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 25/06/2026If you happen to be in the El Paso/Las Cruces area July 16th, we're hosting another local game dev meetup! This time being hosted by the wonderful folks at @learninggameslab.bsky.social. Come hang out in their space, connect with some devs, and play some games together with us! 052
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 20/06/2026When you stare long enough into the pool of creative commons you begin to see your own reflection. 230
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 08/06/2026As a full-time working dad who is lucky to get an hour a day to work on games, I'd be a perfect candidate to pick up gen AI. Screw you though I'm making this work without it. Why would you do that when so many cool humans put so many cool things out there for you to use in a cool way!!! 160
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 11/05/2026One thing I particularly love about my Windows 7 partition is that the sticky notes are just friggin sticky notes 110
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Finished the game tonight, damn did it leave me with a lot of feelings 🥹 050
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Feel like I should push to finish this in the coming weeks to celebrate LP4 releasing in May 140
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Going to try now to get into a habit now of posting my photos from each play session with the official release! 130
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I had the opportunity to play-test this game over the last few months and got the OK to share my favorite photos from the beta <3 130
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 29/03/2026I really often get the urge to start a a semi-regular blog but I know I'm inevitably going to have to talk about AI at some point in there 170
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 26/03/2026First getting into games in 2017, I made myself 2 desktop wallpapers that I stopped using after a while. "Get a game to GDC/PAX" was the original thought. Never thought I'd end up presenting there instead. Showing my friends' games, no less! 110

jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Sometimes I scroll through the repo's screenshots folder and find a gem I completely missed 050
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Dang I just opened it up again after sending that and this was literally at the top 010
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Pretty solid turnout, there’s an awesome community coming together out here ❤️ 191

jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I was hoping to have this update for 2PPPP4P out by the end of the year, but with a new job starting up and all of the good stuff that goes on around Christmas, it's just not happening yet. But here's a little clip from the trailer. Can you tell I've been on a huge American Football kick lately? 120
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 04/12/2025ALSO some possibly relevant notes from page 83 of the New Games Book. 110
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Its a thing that'll take your mp3s and make em sound like they were burned onto a scratched/smudged CD (sort of) 130
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 12/11/2025I *need* to see the controller-as-a-tamagotchi project through at some point (though mic input got removed, it was too finicky for what I was looking to do) 110
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 12/11/2025This was a fun alt-ctrl experiment, but I kinda ran out of steam on it. 120
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 12/11/2025The "americ amera" is begging to be finished with LP1's 25 anniversary just passing. 120
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Pictured: Me retreating from the overwhelming state of social media 030
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 30/10/2025I do want to at least share appreciation for the name I was given <3 020
jwest @follysoft.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Kids are the best playtesters, don't think I would have landed on these effects the way they did by just cranking up whatever value they felt like. 020
