For almost a year the largest project I have been working on is building support for non-Puzzmo games on @puzzmo.com Ribbit was built in 90% of that system, and Hue Complete Me was 100% in it. A month ago I ported the Crossword to it. Got a game? We're exploring opening up bsky.app/profile/stfj...

"We don't want to trivialize the depth in the game." Rhea Gupte & Prateek Saxena made Fishbowl, a slow, tender story about grief, then had to learn selling that to an algorithm built for anything but slow and tender. #gamedev #gdocexpo2026
No good or bad choices
Fishbowl observes your everyday but does not dictate how you should play it.
There are no bad endings but different paths to your journey.

Exciting news: our website, www.entrylvl.ca, is live! 🙌✨ Thanks to @knightsicle.bsky.social & Farrah Rodriguez, this new site serves as an all-in-one resource hub for early-career #gamedevs. It has a level-based system to help you find resources that match your needs, with more updates to come! ⬇️
Screenshot from ENTRY LVL’s new website. It shows 2D art of FishHook, ENTRY LVL’s green water dragon mascot, with different levels. Art created by Babette Norton.

There are three levels:
- Level 0, EGG: A dragon egg cracking open. Text says: “I’m brand new to games!”
- Level 1, WYRMLING: A cute green baby dragon sitting. Text says: “I’ve done some hobby games stuff, and am actively seeking industry work.”
- Level 3, DRAKE: A fully grown green dragon. Text says: “I’m laid off or switching careers.”
