iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

another idea i had: two players set up a 9x9 grid with 3 of each RPS type. then they smash into each other and match up in rows, with the winner i guess being whoever has the most left at the end? but i feel like there could be some issues of the rigid cycle causing optimal placement patterns.....

i was watching a video about rock paper scissors variants and use in game design today and the idea just kind of appeared in my head. might prototype it out for fun, i dunno

lol i'm having some vague thoughts for another falling block game. haven't wrapped it all together yet but something like: place a bunch of rock-paper-scissors tiles at the bottom of the screen. more tiles fall from above. if they beat your tiles, it pushes the stack up. keep going until it fills??

even if most people (apparently) don't use the subscriptions tab anymore i think it would be healthy to reintroduce and reinforce the concept. make the video-finding experience of today's lucky ten thousand a little bit better when they want to Not Fucking Miss Videos At The Algorithm's Whims

thing i'm not going to use of the day: if i had a youtube channel, instead of doing a normal "like and subscribe and [...]" call to action i would patiently sit down and say "did you know there's a tab where you can see ALL the videos from ALL the channels you're subscribed to? whenever you want?"

makkon's textures have been a cornerstone of the quake community for as long as I can remember. they're absolutely gorgeous, thoughtfully designed, and thoroughly field-tested.

Do you think social media has become too much of a popularity contest? Want it to actually be *social* again? Just miss Cohost or hate the concept of numbers? I wrote a user style to abolish stats from Bluesky. Add Stylus to your browser of choice and install gist.github.com/querkmachine...

Before and after screenshots of the Bluesky side menu. The first includes a notifications bubble. There's a dividing line reading 'nah fam' followed by the same screenshot with no notification bubble.

hehe thanks! i definitely had a moment where i decided that this game was too slow and methodical for a timer to work, glad to hear it's not too overwhelming~

Swap back and forth between placing blocks in two directions, using the parts you're given to make as many loops as you can before the box fills up with grounded scrap tiles. I had a ton of fun with this jam, the game came together MUCH better than I thought it would! Enjoy~!

Pixel art game screenshot. A diamond-shaped grid, half filled with blocks that have pipes running through them, forming paths across the board. The player has a score of 58, displayed in a row of nixie tubes on the side of the board.

A larger grid, showing the scoring animation with a loop of tiles exploding. The player's score is 204.

The game over screen, on an even larger grid. All the tiles have been filled in with cyan, white and magenta, and there's a lid over the box with a handle and the text GAME OVER on one side. The score is 695.

Well dang, it would appear my stuff was stolen from my vehicle while I have been 1500 miles away and unable to afford repairs. That laptop included a number of prototypes I had never backed up anywhere, including tons of VFX prototypes from when I worked on Manifold Golden.

a random thought came back to mind at some point, i want to make a game with a setting called "gender" that's actually gui font options

020

i might also tweak the scoring system too. right now it's just adding an extra point for every 4 tiles cleared in a loop. that's probably fine, but it feels like a naïve answer that probably doesn't reward big combos enough... much to consider.

000

the main thing i want to test and tweak before i submit is the block patterns available to the player. right now it feels like i've got too many with straight pieces in them, and there's a few patterns that i feel like i'm missing. will be interesting to see how much that changes the gameplay!

100

ok... i'm pretty sure my #FallingBlockJam entry is now complete! not going to submit it just yet because it's 9pm and i want to give myself a chance to look over it properly but man this was really fun. i'm still surprised at how smoothly it went! must be getting better at this hehe~

You don't want to know the Arcane StyleBox Bullshit i had to go through to make this work ;v; it was excruciating

It's just a check box with an outline around it. My suffering is invisible from the outside.

sqildo @sqildo.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

WHY is it. that whenever i do GUI in godot i find there is one CRUCIAL OPTION missing. today it's hovered/focused icons for check boxes. and also focused-enabled text colour for buttons of all kinds. why the fuck. surely there's no benefit to not having those as variables to change.
