free game design: when the game first starts, begin ticking down a timer. give it like 20 hours and label it "judgement" or something. leave it as a small part of the UI at all times. it doesn't even have to do anything

The hint system in this game is so good. I don't think I've ever seen a game do this before - it teleports you into a different, simpler puzzle room that tries to show you an idea you'll need to solve the original puzzle. Incredibly effective, feels like it's inspired by real-life teaching?

Art style concept for a Bomberman inspired roguelike game

A mockup were I did the sprites and art direction of a Bomberman inspired pirate roguelike. The UI is made out of wood and old paper, showing things like the current level and bomb, items and resources.
The level itself is made with sand tiles, like if it was on a desert island. You can see palm trees, destructible crates, hard rocks, a bomb exploding, some designs for the playable character (a thief pirate rat) and the enemies (dead pirate skeletons).

This is amazing! SimCopter had a great soundtrack by Jerry Martin but the game’s files were highly compressed. So LucasVB got in touch with Mr. Martin and he was able to find most of the original high quality tracks! Awesome to hear “Hangar” in such clarity after 30 years archive.org/details/SimC...

I got sidetracked into another #pico8 idea. I think I can focus on this one and knock it out quickly though. Promise.

I think I’m going to dive in for a Deaths Door replay soon. I’ve only not done so already because that game (like Elden Ring) is so firmly a lockdown game for me and for whatever reason I’ve found it hard to play those again. Is that a thing for other people too?

⚠️If you're a thinky puzzle gamedev, you can apply for a grant of $15,000 to work on your game. You just need to fill out a very straightforward form. There are no strings attached. This isn't a loan or a publishing deal. You could even make a tiny prototype this week and apply with it.

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

#pico8 game 3 - the player has to spend energy for all your actions in the game. Energy levels also determine how visible things of that colour are. Basically use energy to get pickups that recfill your energy.

I’ve been doing everything except #gamedev recently to let my mind just work in the background and find ideas for a some way to use my new #pico8 game mechanic. And I just got it! In the shower no less! Now back to making the thing 🎉

Hey Chris! I work at 2K on the next Bioshock, but over the last few years (with 2K's approval™) I've been noodling on a weird take on the immersive sim genre. Inspired by Mosa Lina, Scribblenauts, and LittleBigPlanet (which incidentally is how I got into game dev!)

ZpaceplatformZ is a fast paced arcade game set in the year 4000. No one has a body anymore and you must colour platforms in space to match incoming lasers! itch: thelemurconspiracy.itch.io/zpaceplatformz bbs: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=158...
