making it a skill to avoid encounters and then rewarding it by having you be under levelled and under geared is probably bad. and from there you create weird fixes like making it so bosses remove stops on progress. and now you're making chrono cross, the worst videogame

I'm really excited to see if any tetris-enjoyers get into Hop Well, I think there's a lot there to love and a high skill ceiling for improving times And there's a fun surprise if you make it to the top! britown.itch.io/hopwell #tetris #indiegame #FallingBlockJam

halfway through #FallingBlockJam already? guess i should post about Schwarzerbrikz ⬛🍝⬛ it's a puzzle fighter based on @andreadprojects.bsky.social's Schwarzerblitz - think Dr. Mario, but with a limited supply of (very very) hard drops 👨‍💻 me 🎨 @doctorbutler.bsky.social 🎵 @skreamnredskull.rize.pro

put in trash and the last "spell card." hopefully i can leave the gameplay code alone for a bit and focus on making it not look like rogue having a stroke

off to bed now, but cpu is in (just does move with the most matches). need to calculate trash and then it is, unfortunately, art time. also need a wrapper for selecting controls or whatever, but i'll phone that in last minute. #FallingBlockJam

020

apparently you have to turn this on first

$_gameActions = new(); _gameActions.devices = new[] { inputDevice }; _gameActions.Enable(); // I lost half an hour to this$

no cpu opponent yet but do have multiplayer working on keyboard / gamepad.

*waits until joe takes a day as holiday and schedules a meeting to revert this thread*

020

mechanically it's almost there. biggest thing left is i want a cpu opponent... oh wait, yeah. and art. #FallingBlockJam

it's all happening in the debug atm #FallingBlockJam

Taylor @tayl1r.itch.io · 20/09/2026

this method suggests a much cooler game than the one i am actually making #FallingBlockJam

A C# method (that returns a list of lists, don't judge me it's a game jam) called ScanForSandwich
