I suspect it might be illegal for me to get this working and not make a Lights Out clone on it as the first game?

This is Godot, communicating with a Launchpad Pro MK3 over Midi, using code I've made that lets me add extra effects, like the rainbow fade on pads and buttons 🎉🌈

It's a bit of work to set it up correctly but the results have been pretty smooth and consistent (provided you're using Jolt).

Oo I think I see what you mean, I'll try that out thanks for the advice! :)

Using a bunch of them in my early prototyping! Love the prototype packs :)

Set up a proof of concept for this "swap places" mechanic. The Shockwave Effect tutorial by @nolkaloid.bsky.social was suuuper helpful in building this teleport effect. Any and all feedback is appreciated :)

Old clip from mid-January, this is when I was happy with the basic cube pickup, movement and rotation. As long as the cube is held, it's handled by a custom integrator (basically custom physics behaviour) otherwise it's just a Rigidbody.

The game I am working on, Kiko's Apple Adventure! It's a Sokoban puzzle but you can move the target (raft)! The game tells the story of a curious bear who loves tasty apples🍎 Help Kiko explore islands, collect apples to make the biggest apple pie ever! Demo available on Steam!

Thenk you! It's one of those things that is not "necessary" in a prototype but I feel it makes me feel more comfortable at testing and nailing the core feel of the game early. But still, I try to be vary of over-engineering too early.
