the only rule i have about game dev is to NEVER watch a streamer play your game before bed

I'll be at GDC this year, and I'll be pitching around Car Guy!

If you, or someone you know, may be interested in talking with me about publishing (or something publishing adjacent) I would love to meet up, just shoot me a DM here.

2PPPP4P - Trailer
YouTube video by Jonathan West 2PPPP4P - Trailer

2PPPP4P has gotten it's last update (for now, at least).

I love how this ended up, especially since it started as a gimmicky prototype to fill in the quiet hours I had on paternity leave. It's an oddball, but I hope anyone who tries it has as much fun with it as I have ๐Ÿ“ธ

The tournament deserves a full analysis but the semifinals between @boshis.place's Little Baby Apples and @wonderville.nyc was ELECTRIC!

Luckily @ma.lloc.ca clipped the final moment feat iconic commentary by @lainenooney.bsky.social: "WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY BABY!"
