Hi! I'm becoming an indie dev from the UK focusing on games that create real world interaction inspired by my childhood memories of gaming :)

Your streak will end!

You get 60 seconds each round to find the doll and it will be in a random spot each time.

Its really sad I got nothing physically done today but I am free for the rest of this week so I will get busy!

Hope anyone else who is doing this is having fun!

And its not too late...

๐ŸŽƒ #CodeAndCauldrons Day 1!!!!

Today was um BUSY! I had a lot of Uni stuff today BUT whilst I was half asleep in lectures I was also thinking of ideas and I chose one!

I'm going to do a bit of a speed running anomaly game ish? Every day you wake up to find the doll. If you don't find it in time...

Whilst there is no typical theme to this, it would be cool if you did something on brand for October! Here are a few ideas:
- Pumpkin farming
- Murder investigation
- Haunted mansion
- Ghost hunting

And you don't need to do a horror game! Focus on the different elements of Halloween for you.

A few days later and its looking pretty similar but I now have a system for the idle clicking plus an actual way to upgrade your clicks / idle power.

Pretty excited for where this project might go in terms of features (like meteors!)

I want to create a game were people are excited for new updates to drop. Were there is a community of people who really enjoy it and want more and more of it.

Its going to be a lot of work but I know it will happen, one day, I hope.

Just wanted to put this out to the world :)
Have a great day

I turn 18 today. By the time it was 12:17 I had bought a Google Play developer account.

Yesterday I made a studio name, im currently getting all the socials sorted. This might be the start of it.

Big stuff coming soon. ๐Ÿš—๐ŸŒช

I don't know if I am going to delete this app, might have to try and sort my timeline again but it just doesnt last. Gonna have to find a replacement most likely.

Bluesky is just as political as Twitter.

Ok maybe not the SAME but its BAD. I come here to check out cool game dev stuff and I just see people shitting on America. It doesn't matter my opinion, I dont want to see any of that.

Please, let me live in my own word.

My grandad just introduced me to his vinal player and tape player and CD player. I didn't even know he had it. Got to listen to some roy orbison the way it's meant to be listened to. Made me realise I am sick of sites like Spotify ruining music with adverts.

But im really confident in this game and proud of the idea.

Ok that's it for the Jack Wrap Up! Excited for things to come and will make sure to keep you all in the loop!

Whilst I am finishing off 1 of these projects and turning a prototype into a game I will be designing a much bigger project. My summary of the idea is "A food truck simulator on an alien plant". It's going to require a lot of planning so I'm giving it a while before I actually go into development...

Ha! You thought this would be the next game, nope! I'm also gonna hopefully make a cool action scene poster for this game to put it on my display thing. I'm really excited for it and hope it will turn out well. Will make sure to share the stand when I am there! But now, my other game...

I get to showcase a personal project too. This means I have until next Thursday to have a game instead of a prototype. It's not going to be a full game, not at all. But it will be fun (hopefully). Since its an in person event (wow) I can't wait to see people versing each other! Im also gonna make...

My game "PEW!" has some good foundations so I've decided I want to finish this up. It's a offline multiplayer PVP shooter which I have had lots of fun with. What's super cool is next Thursday I'm on my way to London to showcase this game! It's to do with college but...
