Rate Echo Rider by Finite Reflection for GMTK Game Jam 2025 Race your looping echoes

Made a racing game in 4 days with @finitereflect.bsky.social for GMTK Game Jam 2025! I've always enjoyed Mario Kart 8's antigravity system, so it was fun to finally take a swing at that kind of track design!

now that I've flushed out a lot of weirdness, the cpu particle vm for @luxeengine.com is running nicely. this is 1k pink particles, 50k black particles and runs smoothly, no hitches on spawning that many which is good

+ pink took 0.0803 ms
+ black took 7.9005 ms

we're only a few months into development of our "mouse dark souls" game, and scanning the horizon for items and enemies is already feeling very exciting. Every inch of this world has been meticulously hand-crafted!

We may be new to bsky, but we're not new to gamedev. Anyone interested in a souls-like inspired by Redwall with a 3DS-era aesthetic?

TVPaint is $1400.

grease pencil is still lacking.
Toonsquid is ipad only.
animation paper is a buggy program in beta.
opentoonz is for inking/colours, not animating.
moho is for rigging 2d, not traditional anim.

we animators have few options lately

You made a bad city builder and it failed? Excellent news!! You just gained +1 in critical understanding of that genre. Don't walk away, take those lessons and apply them to the systems , tools and assets you created and go again for round 2.

That's how you build a business and a franchise.

β€œThe lack of game accessibility experienced is not necessarily due to lack of knowhow… but the lack of commitment in implementing it in mainstream games.” Baltzar et al. (2022)

Let’s prioritize accessibility in game development.
