Using fetch() for images no longer works in 0.2.0e-0.2.0g

ah I should have dug a bit more! I see you've confirmed it's a bug (www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=150...)

fetch("myfile.png") returns a string now -- is that intentional or a bug? is there an easy way to decode that png-datastring to a userdata?

Just released my jam game, "Just a Normal Snake".

The original Make Ten is extremely good - like one of the best casual puzzle concepts I’ve seen in a decade. It’s as satisfying as Bejewelled. Excited to pick this expanded version up!

and if you'd like a much larger droqen experience that is a lovely wonderful game poem manifesto bunny adventure, then you have to check out TEOG, it's so so good

something you have to digest, like a good book

kill gameplay

two-three-five!! it's great, check it out. a tiny little droqen experience, succinct and provoking

i really like "the end of gameplay" (releasing today), with a few caveats. i think if you approach it cynically, you won't like it. also, if you are hoping it will clarify what "kill gameplay" means, you will probably just become more confused. that said, i found it very beautiful and cute

It is time! Cattle Crisis has been just released on Itch. Thank you for sticking with me for such a long time. Enjoy!

@droqen.bsky.social I assume two-three-five isn't playable anywhere today? it was a good game. CountTo60 (one of the modes in the demo) was in turn directly inspired by two-three-five! I wonder if that's visible at all. The Cycle Continues

I remember our talk about how most games don't let you "turn to any page" like books do, while trying to decide how to give players all these new modes without it being overwhelming. In the end I put up some easily-vaulted walls just to organize and convey intent. like book pages! kill gameplay

although there is a sense in which May 11 could be said to be… May 10 Deluxe

(and yes, I released the original Make 10 on May 10 last year, completely on accident. I didn't realize until a week afterwards)
