Damn. Next Ludum Dare coincides with the weekend we celebrate my kid's birthday, and I already missed the last one. The Game Jam I mean. No Ludum Dare for me this year!

I hope you like falling-blocks games: Chiclimino's first alpha is now available! I would love to improve art, because Chicli (the mascot) is too cute to be static and the UI needs some love. But it's perfectly playable. #puzzle #puyopuyo #tetris playmedusa.itch.io/chiclimino

Found this Creature from Hell at home today. I don't remember moving to Australia! Australians will probably laugh at me, but this is probably the largest spider I've ever met. Apparently it's a wolf spider. #spider

I finished The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. At first, it left me… cold? Then I found myself reading discussions in forums and contrasting other people’s interpretations with my own feelings about the Urrasti and Anarresti societies until 3am. I guess it didn’t leave me cold after all. #books

I need to start working on proper art for this game (considering names like Chiclemino or Gumoshi). I am going for a Taito-inspired look, colorful and away from neon Tetris versions. No idea how I'm gonna make it, so I guess I'll open Aseprite and start drawing... #gamedev #gameart

The NotTetris (I need a name!) game I've been toying with has a few more visual features - blocks merge nicely, the ghost piece and things animate more or less as I want. I still have to tweak explosion particles. But the UI and decoration is begging for some love! #gamedev #indiedev #puzzle #arcade

Added a scoring system! As you clear groups and chain lines you see the score on the left side: sum of squares of blocks in a group, multiplied by number of lines, chain length and x2 if it was a hard drop. I also animated it all to make it look nicer. #gamefeel #notTetris #prototype #gamedev

Working a bit more on my Tetris-ish game-slash-experiment, adding some juice. Still needs a ton more. I may need to draw blocks in a different way, maybe circles or octagons? so it doesn't feel like a Tetris. It doesn't work the same way even when making lines is still important. #puzzle #prototype

I've started... something in #picotron. Ortogonal grid-based movement (think classic Pokemon), enemy already handles different states (idle, patrol) and it's not shown but there's line of sight (they don't see you if they don't face you or if you are behind a wall).

100% A good arcade game is a game where dying and trying again from the very beginning is not only core design, but increasingly fun. They're carefully designed for your 100th attempt to be more fun than your first approach, with layers of challenges (survival, simple scoring, complex scoring...)
