Heck yeah.
Human-made over 5 years

No AI has been used to generate any code or content in or about the game, and never will be. Slow Roads has been a labour of love since the project began in 2021, and has been built with a decade of experience in 3D graphics and creative software development. Textures are hand-drawn, sounds are recorded locally, and all systems are designed and engineered specifically for the unique context of the game. This is a solo-developed project that I take great care over, and I believe AI simply doesn't belong in creative projects like these.

Please note that procedural generation is not a form of generative AI; the procedures used to generate the world in the game are mathematical functions that have been derived and defined by hand, with direct creative intent.

Even if you think you don't need game assets what you DO need is the excellent gamepad/ mouse/ keyboard glyphs that Kenney has made. Extensive and consistent, this is a bargain for those alone.

Just had to quickly make my own mini on-screen keyboard as the built in ones on SteamDeck, Android etc. don't always seem to work (for me). I think this looks more in tune with the game UI too. I have a num only version too. What does everyone else do? #gamedev #solodev #wordgame #anagram #godot
A popup keyboard in the same style as the chunky lettering and bright colours of the UI. The SPACE key is greyed out as the edit field is set to alphanumeric only with no spaces allowed.

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

More games should have a cowardly baby mode. More games should let me suffer less consequences for dying or mistakes. Should have a "I just want the story" mode. Games should not pride themselves on "look how difficult we are". I'm bad at video games and I wanna experience the good stories too :c

A word2word update on itch with a feature to expand and collapse the play area, not final yet. It was for mobile small/squashed screens, but works well on desktop too. If you like word games, give the demo/play-test a go and leave a comment. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #wordle #wordgame
Single screenshot with a 'tear' down the middle showing the two sizes of play area now possible. On the left is the original style with letter roundels and found words listed below, and on the right is  the expanded area with less space underneath so only progress bars for each word length can be displayed.

I'm quite pleased with the new view auto resizing to the bigger play area and using progress bars rather than the word list (though still available) and here in multiplayer it shows your opponent's progress against yours. Demo available #screenshotsaturday #wordle #wordgame #indiegame #anagram
