If anyone here lives there and wants to show me around, please sing out!

There are new features going in every day.
Today I am focusing on the logic inside of the narrative flows, allowing for conditional statements and variables

Project Mammut An HTML5 Visual Story & Motion Graphic Game Engine

So I've started building my own HTML5 game engine. Focusing on visual novel games and such.
I would love feedback from anyone making a native game.

I spent the last 3 week putting together a comic in my own personal style and flow just to see if I could. I wanted to set up an interesting world similar to comic I read growing up.

I want to continue and hear what you think.

During 2020 I started teaching myself how to paint.
I put all these up on Instagram and got thousands of followers.

Then they changed their policy on nudity and deleted my account.

I've just started getting back into it.

Please follow if you're interested (very NSFW).

Game one of this year is well underway.
I have decided to make all the art myself, which is talking a while, but it is coming along well.
More details soon

I'm thinking of making a game a month next year.
All small, all based around a small concept.
Working out if I should do the art myself, or find someone to join me in this adventure.

Every 1 bit 4x4 sprite by Powerdive Games You've seen packs with many assets, but what about one with every asset?

Some Malad made an icon pack of EVERY possible 4x4 1 bit sprite.
And then named each and every one..

All 65,536 of them.

I had a game where you pilot a robot against other robots. And after 60 seconds time rewinds and you play again alongside the recording of your previous playthrough.
The catch is if your previous self got killed, you can kill that enemy before it kills you causing fun paradoxes.

Pitch me that game that you will get around to making some day... Or started and will TOTALLY get back to soon... Once you get your act together #gamedev #pileofshame #I'llfinishitipromise

I love that bluesky is getting bigger, and everyone is following large groups of people.

But don't forget to engage with the people that you are following, give them a likes, comments, and shares.

Let's ensure this is a lively, positive space for game development!

@ashens.bsky.social I bought and watched the Polybius heist years back.

But for some reason, over the last few months YouTube has been recommending it on its home screen every other day.

Today however, YouTube has stepped up it's game and tried 3 times to autoplay the movie after other videos!!

You're the second person to mention this in so many hours.
I'm going to need to mentally prepare myself

As I seemed to have gained hundreds of followers over the past 24 hours, I thought I would introduce myself.

My name is Ben, I specialise in education through play and have worked on a number of games for many clients.

I also teach, mentor, and work in and around the Australian game dev scene.

While it's not perfect, It is a great way to get started.
I'm enjoying reading random posts from game Devs asking the world.
I'm sure I'll start to add and remove people with a bit more care down the line, but for now most of us are just looking for a way to get our new feeds churning again.
