Preces herméticas Nosso texto de hoje tem uma abordagem mais prática. Nos últimos tempos, eu venho falando bastante aqui de hermetismo e, aos poucos, construindo um pequeno repertório de técnicas para iniciantes, o …

texto novo n'O Zigurate: Preces herméticas

Another build, another tiny step on the #indiedev journey!

Geomantik Arena is an unique strategic battle game with a (budding) faeriecore aesthetics, loosely inspired by pokemon.

Some quick showcase of the combat UI progress, and a little bit of the gameplay as well.
Still some stuff to finish and polish, but it's coming together!

mindfulness é tão engraçado. você gosta de meditação, mas gostaria que ao invés de aprofundamento em milênios de cultura e teologia hindu/budista/taoísta, a pessoa te ensinando tivesse um linkedin?

That's cool. I'm on a similar path! Do you have anything of your present studios or projects you wanna share? Or even jam games you've done.

Thanks!!

So, you're learning game dev. What's the plan? Hop in the industry? Work solo? Find an indie studio? Make it a hobby?

When I got on Threads I found my way quite naturally. It started with the "algorithm, bring me..." type of posts, but soon enough I was amidst a gamedev archipelago where people would really interact with each other.

So, how do we build community here? Where I can find my people?

so a new MGMT album dropped a YEAR ago and I didn't listen to it yet??

Now the second release sounded more earnest and melancholic - more mature, even - while still rocking that psychedelic knack they have.

At first I disliked it. Then I heard it again, and again, and a week later it was my favourite album of all times.

I'll never forget what happened when MGMT dropped their 2nd album, Congratulations. Everyone expected another Oracular Spectacular, and it was so different.

Contratulations lacked that dancing, new-agey irony of their first release.

Ainda sobre comunicação: prevenir que as pessoas caiam em desinformação é muito mais eficaz que ficar respondendo e desmentindo cada absurdo que a ext. direita inventar. E prevenção nesse caso quer dizer dar repertório pras pessoas, trazer elas pra perto dos processos, construir letramento de mídia.

From the gamedev community on Reddit: I emailed over 400 content creators. Here are the results. Explore this post and more from the gamedev community

Interesting reddit post by @vezelle.bsky.social on indie game marketing by contacting directly to content creators! 400 contacts, 44 keys redeemed and 7 contents created. This effort boosted game's wishlist count from under 800 to over 5000!

Design matters 1 - Geomancy System redesign After all this time replaying my own game, I'm confident the core loop is solid, if a bit bland - that is, placing and utilizing elemental tokens on the board (for damage and healing) makes for a grea...

I've been redesigning a key system in my #indiegame (Geomantik Arena), and I decided to share a bit of my process from here and on!

As for my first post on this "Design matters" series: an honest, if not brutal analysis of the present geomancy system:

But - it might be a tool in order to keep the challenge level rising, beyond first encounters. It might help to keep hardcore players interested in the game.

I also think it doesn't necessarially translates for a better gaming experience!

I think part of the fun of playing against the computer is the player feeling they identify the pattern on the machine's behaviour, and outsmart it.

Open ended #gamedesign inquiry:

Playing against an adaptative AI inherently makes for a better gaming experience?

In other words: we know it's more challenging if the machine learns from your moves. But, this automatically translates to a better experience for the player, in terms of having fun?

Hey. Indie dev exilee from Threads here!

I didn't enjoy being thrown under the bus by Zucc, so I flew to the butterfly place. Heard there's nice things going on here.

Friends, game devs, game designers and artists: feel free to follow me!

Also, I'm open to indications of cool people to follow :3
