This is probably my last time using the “SmallGameStudio” hashtag 😢

It’s crazy that it’s only been 11 weeks, it feels like a year has passed! Thanks for everything, everyone in the class and @smallgamestudio.bsky.social!
Hopefully I’ll see some of you in future quarters or, if not, in the scene! :)

NEVER MIND CAUGHT A GAME BREAKING ISSUE ONE SECOND

Things That Could Go Wrong by CupcakePirate Play a series of minigames where mundane things can go wrong! Play in your browser

Things That Could Go Wrong is now released on my Itch page! Although I'd like to add more, I think the work that I've put in to the minigames I've done thus far has been really good and I'm proud of what I've accomplished! 😁 #SmallGameStudio #IndieDev

I was finally able to upload the beta version of Get Dated! to my itch page! It includes the first scene of the game, as well as art (my own + others), music, one sound effect, and sprite movement. Check it out at:

The password is "Get Dated!"

I also thought I'd give a little update on the amount of scripts I currently have in the game, which seems like it's going to increase exponentially by the time the final game is done hahaha. 3 scripts for general stuff, 5 scripts for the coffee minigame. It's all going well though! #SmallGameStudio

Thought I'd give a little progress update on my game "Things That Could Go Wrong"

Currently, I have scene transitions working, although they kind of look basic. I'm also almost done with my Coffee minigame! Just need to finish the second loss state + win state. Screenshots below. #SmallGameStudio

Waltuh... we gotta dress up in frilly dresses Waltuh...

My second monster has been made. Here's the "protagonist" of my reverse dating sim, who lacks any semblance of a personality or defining character traits!

I can't tell if the MS paint is gonna make this experience worse, or better, but I guess we'll find out

I'll also post some progress that I made last week on working on "Things That Could Go Wrong," which IS my project for 175. I made a (really basic) simulation of a coffee cup getting filled with coffee that the player can move around; one of several mini-games I plan to make for it.
#SmallGameStudio

Thanks @ducktower.bsky.social for giving me the courage to make MS paint drawings for my game characters. I shall never live up to the legacy you left in your dating sim, though, I fear. 🥲

Also the premise of this game is a reverse dating sim, so you'll play as this character rejecting the protag

OH NO I FORGOT TO DO MY BLUESKY POSTS.

Uhhh so basically I'm working on my "Get Dated!" idea that I had, but I'm working on it for 176 instead of 175. Regardless, since it's still the process of making a game, I thought I'd post my (masterwork) MS paint character drawing.

😔

Are they still showcasing games? That sounds awesome!

Just in case anyone is planning to play Circle Chase - Burnout Edition after reading this post, @bpsmith.bsky.social had the right idea for the purpose of the game, which I was happy to see! Try and beat my score of 30, everyone 😉
#SmallGameStudio

Here are my three pitches for my final game project for #SmallGameStudio! Personally, I'm most inclined towards "Get Dated!", but maybe everyone else will think differently. Hopefully I haven't set out too much work for myself hahahaha

Circle Chase - Burnout Edition by CupcakePirate Circle Chase but the circle gets burned out. Play in your browser

After intense hardship and many frustrations (and almost some tears,,,) - Circle Chase: Burnout Edition is now out on my Itch page! The title is ironic because making this game probably will contribute to my burnout. Ha.

Melt demonstrates that you don't need much in terms of gameplay or concept to demonstrate an idea or feeling. The music and glowy colors get everything across that wants to be expressed.

Diving Bell was a really interesting way of displaying poetry in a game format that I had not considered before! As someone who writes poetry, I was sort of struggling to see how I could potentially mix that interest with game design, but now I have some ideas for the next project!

Noooooo! Stop leaving me!!!

Loneliness by Jordan Magnuson really sets out to do one thing, and it does it really well. The moment of having the first group of black squares run away from your player character is really impactful without even doing much.

Figured out how to make the game resolution work properly in the WebGL version of Unity, which allowed me to fix my previous Unity game to work in fullscreen. Good to know! #SmallGameStudio

A Flight Up by CupcakePirate A flight up a tree. Play in your browser

I just posted a game called "A Flight Up" on my Itch page for my other class! It's a short experience made in Bitsy, but I made the art, dialogue, and even music myself (in Bitsy). Disappointed I couldn't get the transparent avatar working though. #SmallGameStudio

Just finished project 2 for #SmallGameStudio!
It is a #TextBasedGame made in Unity that I made to hopefully be comfy, and which reflects some of my recent experiences with GameDev.
