Love the visuals! I played Battle Zone as a kid. I like green on black vectors much more than CGA pixel art

Wow, it's rare to find a devlog that's interesting to see! Your art is neat and clean. And Dune 2 is my favourite movie too :)

Looks nice! Are you using shaders for backgrounds just because you like it so or for efficiency reasons?

Seems like people are mostly hating on the UI. So not Cities Skylines II kind of situation, I suppose

The license requires something like 51% Vietnamese ownership and 1 Vietnamese employee per 2 servers for online games. These guys will have very interesting game market

I keep a little physical calendar where I mark days when I work on gamedev. It both pushes me a bit to not have zero days when I feel lazy, and adds a sense of accomplishment when it's full

I just played it, nice game!
Well done choosing a unique name so it's searchable on Play Store :)
If you want a little advice: let players tap the next number while animation for the previous one is still playing.

Nothing happens in the trailer for 10 seconds. What's the game is about?

Nice and clean

Is this a LOD system for terrain?

I was half expecting to see minesweeper gameplay by some reason :)

I'm aways pleasantly surprised when I encounter the opposite - a task that I expect to spend half a day on, solved with one line of code in 3 minutes :)

I had periods in my life when I felt an urge to collect something. Got a few small collections of different things, including stamps as a result :)

23.01.2025 13:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I'm trying to develop a minimalist art style that's functional but not ugly. Something like Shapez 1 and Mini Morotways did. This limits the range of possible game genres but hopefully lowers the bar for the art skills required. I'm far from that goal myself, though :)

23.01.2025 13:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Looks nice! Stamps are great collectibles and wildly undervalued, in my opinion

Congrats with the launch! How do you find the pico8 tool chain?
