#js13k day 16: game's submitted with one byte to spare Now time to write a post mortem, then resume my life 😅

#js13k day 13: one of my testers pointed out how hard it is to land massive jumps because they can't predict where they would land, so I added a simple camera shift based on altitude. Probably going to submit within the next few days. #gamedev

#js13k day 12: first playtest session, got tons of valuable feedback. Campaign is now mostly polished, added gamepad controls, probably going to focus on polish now. 230 bytes remaining. Here's me doing a combo using a PS4 controller #gamedev

In 2025 I dived deep into #Warhammer and went through a few different settings in the span of twelve months: from Age of Sigmar, Warhammer 40 000, to The Old World, Kill Team, and even Necromunda. end3r.com/blog/warhammer #GamesWorkshop #40k #KillTeam #Necromunda #TheOldWorld
