I've majorly rewritten the menus for Slidegame, adding a fancy new main menu as well as options like turning off the transition animations or adding menu buttons to the title screen itself so you can get into the levels faster! store.steampowered.com/app/4711930/... #gamedev #indiedev #game

I rewrote part of the parallax system and changed up some of the game's colours and added more details, my brother recorded some music for the game too! #gamedev #indiedev #art #pixelart #webdev

I've been working on my game a lot. Here's chaos mode, a mode designed to be as difficult as possible, constantly fucking with the game. It isn't required for 100% because I'm pretty sure nobody other than me will actually be able to comprehend playing it. #gamedev #webdev #indiedev #game #chaos

I added negative surfaces to my game, causing you to push instead of pull! Quite the odd change of controls, yet it still works for speedrunning! Please give the game a try if you have the time :) slidegame.waspventman.co.uk (PC only) #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #newgrounds #game

Not too long before the 2024 presidential election I was planning on making a joke game called "Joe Biden's Memory Game" with impossible memory minigames, when you lost it would've shown Trump looming over the White House with it in flames. It's weird knowing I was right about Trump's presidency.

I've been working on this between games for around a year and a half, but there's probably only been 1 month of actual focused dev time. This is my passion project that I will never finish because I want it perfect. #gamedev #indiedev #webdev

The title screen for a game with "DRILL GAME" in bold at the top, there is a computer terminal with "NEW GAME", "CONTINUE" and "LOAD GAME" options on the screen.

A computer terminal with the following text on screen.

DEPTH 0.00M (70.18M)
SURFACE 0:00:00
BOTTOM 0:01:10
FUEL 5.00L (0:16:40)
DATE 23/12/2011 09:46

WELCOME TO DRILL DOS V1
TYPE "HELP" FOR A LIST OF COMMANDS
TYPE "START" TO START DRILLING

There is a dialogue window on the screen.

ZAKARIYE INGPEN
NICE TO MEET YOU MR DE'FOLT.
I'M MR ZAKARIYE INGPEN, YOUR SUPERVISOR.

A strange multicolored square with the text "WHIMSY ENGINE" repeated behind it.

Ok I couldn't fit this in the post so I'll put it here.

Because I'm stupid, stubborn and autistic I've been writing literally everything myself, I call it the "WHIMSY ENGINE" (probably doesn't actually count as an engine but I like to call it that).
