Hi! I'm becoming an indie dev from the UK focusing on games that create real world interaction inspired by my childhood memories of gaming :)

That my second year (so this year) of University is an exchange year in the Netherlands. Its only been about 2 months and omg it's been difficult, the most stressed I've ever been but I have already learnt so much. And mostly I've been having to use UE for studies and its definitely got its perks.

2 years ago I created this account and my first post went pretty viral (at least for me). I come back after not having a post this entire year and I am still getting followers and likes from that original post 🤣 I'd love to be announcing a game project rn but im not I am announcing...

It's been way longer than expected but this game is SO close to being done! I just finished up fixing bugs with the current content and now want to add some more within the next few days and then release!

He was a Minecraft YouTuber and the peak of my childhood. He created a minigame called Flowe Power were you would steal the other teams' flowers and return them to your base whilst they are trying to do the same thing

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. I would like to put a small message out into the world. Thank you to all those heros who continue to work on the front line helping others this Christmas. First responders, charities, hospital staff etc.

Thanks for that. Building a community is so important to me and I am definitely going to be working on that. I think I need to define what my game being "complete" will look like to actually get it finished

I sometimes feel like I am failing as a game developer. I haven't released anything in ages, all projects go down hill to nothing and I have nothing to show for the countless hours of work I've put into projects. I've got to fix this for 2026

I want to see no politics at all. No opinions on that stuff. That's hard. The only solution I see is building my own place. So, that's my plan. I'm going to develop a website that focuses on game development. Start with sharing my journey and potentially allow you to as well. Launching next year.

I have over 700 followers and just a few posts after getting those followers I went back to getting less than 3 or 4 likes a post. How am I meant to build a community like that? Also, this place is no better than Twitter at times in terms of toxicity. I do not want to just not see right wing stuff.

A few days later and its looking pretty similar but I now have a system for the idle clicking plus an actual way to upgrade your clicks / idle power. Pretty excited for where this project might go in terms of features (like meteors!)

I want to create a game were people are excited for new updates to drop. Were there is a community of people who really enjoy it and want more and more of it. Its going to be a lot of work but I know it will happen, one day, I hope. Just wanted to put this out to the world :) Have a great day

Bluesky is just as political as Twitter. Ok maybe not the SAME but its BAD. I come here to check out cool game dev stuff and I just see people shitting on America. It doesn't matter my opinion, I dont want to see any of that. Please, let me live in my own word.

My grandad just introduced me to his vinal player and tape player and CD player. I didn't even know he had it. Got to listen to some roy orbison the way it's meant to be listened to. Made me realise I am sick of sites like Spotify ruining music with adverts.

But im really confident in this game and proud of the idea. Ok that's it for the Jack Wrap Up! Excited for things to come and will make sure to keep you all in the loop!

Whilst I am finishing off 1 of these projects and turning a prototype into a game I will be designing a much bigger project. My summary of the idea is "A food truck simulator on an alien plant". It's going to require a lot of planning so I'm giving it a while before I actually go into development...

Jack @jvckgames.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Ha! You thought this would be the next game, nope! I'm also gonna hopefully make a cool action scene poster for this game to put it on my display thing. I'm really excited for it and hope it will turn out well. Will make sure to share the stand when I am there! But now, my other game...

I get to showcase a personal project too. This means I have until next Thursday to have a game instead of a prototype. It's not going to be a full game, not at all. But it will be fun (hopefully). Since its an in person event (wow) I can't wait to see people versing each other! Im also gonna make...

My game "PEW!" has some good foundations so I've decided I want to finish this up. It's a offline multiplayer PVP shooter which I have had lots of fun with. What's super cool is next Thursday I'm on my way to London to showcase this game! It's to do with college but...

Update on current STUFF coz I feel like it's about time to spill some stuff :) I am currently working on THREE projects! One of them is SO close to being finished I just need to lock in for a day but can't be bothered. I'm not really counting it as a current project anymore I guess. However...

My Dad stopped talking to me around when I was 16. I say this not for pity, but to let folks know that if you don't have a dad, to celebrate today, that's okay. Celebrate yourself for getting this far without one. To those dads doing the job and doing it well, Happy Father's Day.

Its so nice to hear so much positivity about the Switch 2 and MK World! There was so much hate before we even went hands on and yes it's expensive, but I believe it's so worth it. Let's all try and be more hopeful for upcoming things (Tomodachi Life Living The Dream)!

Jack @jvckgames.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
Wow. The Switch 2 is a great console and I love it! Mario Kart World is such a fantastic and chaotic game and 24 players really makes it so much more crazy. This is my first release day purchase ever and am super excited for the future games of this console.

Managed to order a switch 2 which is in store right now, going to pick it up after college!!!

I've been messing around with comic ish things for the first time and its been fun to create really short (and crappy) sketches. Each are just a piece of A4 paper folded into 8 pages.

👽 Here's a look at how my games going for the 185th Mini Jam! The theme is Aliens and the limitation is "Limited Space". It's my first Jam so this has been a really interesting experience but I am pretty proud of my product so far :)

which would show up on the right hand side of the screen as a portrait or something. Anyways I really like the art style and think this game will actually get finished and be my first published piece. Also side note for anyone reading this, I think I am going to make a WordPress blog :) (5/?)

having a limited amount of space on the UFO for humans so you have to collect the best ones that will take up the least space and provide the most points. This should be easy to add tomorrow so my stretch goal is to make it so every round has a different most efficient human... (4/?)
