I am physically attracted to games, like moths to light or cats to red laser dots. Freelance game designer and developer who also makes games just because.

I like to write these posts at night, they seem to be about but mostly about sick thoughts... so no one cares.

So, I write so much code, work with almost all directions in the game, not only code, gameplay stuff, testing, porting on console... also promo.. sometimes I want to go to a league where the content itself will not depend on me, only my ideas... let others do all this

The player does not know that several people who are very tired are behind all this

@maxim I am feeling a similar way these days, although the feeling usually comes a goes. Sometimes I wonder if I should aim for a game design position or something like that. It's been a lot of years (game) programming and I'm not getting younger!

@maxim 45 here, I totally understand you. I'm a freelancer game designer/programmer, happier when the client knows what she wants but is willing to listen to options. It's making and publishing my own games what gets harder, precisely because what you said: you are a one man (two in our case) army.

@maxim Nice meeting you indeed! I'm not OLD, just aging 😂

@maxim Ouch, that's hard. Should have said "one man band" instead, sorry :'l Damned war, I hope it ends sooner than later.

I can draw, but not at a professional level. I should say that I enjoy A LOT making small games by myself using pico8. So I guess that, for my own projects, I enjoy developing small-scoped games.

@maxim Never tried one! Not too fond of sodas. But if it's about meeting and whining about I wouldn't mind a beer!

Our largest yet: $8.00 for 12 games! It contains ALL my games and four games inspired by movies made for a local movie festival, including An American Werewolf in L.A. and Nosferatu: Rites of the Skull Cult! @itchio

I am making a retro inspired engine/game. 320x240 fancies my nostalgia but I feel 480x320 might be better for text/gui.

Any thoughts?

@glaskows pico8 games are 128x128 and text looks good, it's a matter of choosing the right font! 320x240 was a lovely resolution.

Trying to reconcile tile-based gameplay, timed turns, 3D camera, and simple usability is… a lot. Getting there though, hopefully!

I am on a family trip and in the downtimes I would love to and experiment.

I didnt bring my laptop because is cumbersome, specially when you travel in buses, trains and by foot.

I wonder, is there a good IDE that runs on Android? are there shells to transform my android phone into a small laptop? recomendations for good portable bluetooth keyboards?

I want tips from all of you .

@glaskows You could also give board/physical games a try!

What are people reading at the moment? I'm ploughing through "Silo" by Hugh Howey. It's a page turner but dark!

@upmultimedia "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. Apart from the main story, it contains lots of small tales. So far I'm loving it!

Some types of bamboo can grow 80 centimeters per day, that is, the growth rate is almost 4 centimeters per hour.

I'm for genetic engineering in this case. It is necessary to combine it with other trees, and start the restoration process

@maxim And food! Corn, wheat and other vegetables growing fast could help a lot too!

I'm watching ALIEN at the movie theater for the first time this Friday - those who know me know about my love for the xenomorph, but I have only watched it on TV! Truly excited. Happy !

But it gets better. There's also a game jam!! It's going to be an AWESOME WEEKEND!
