Hi! I make games, art and music.

I made Xenospore, a strategic puzzle game about defending humanity from an alien fungus, and a few other games.

I love cats too🐈

Wish I could replace twitter with Mastodon.

  • Can link stuff without the algo hiding my posts.
  • Don't have to chase the algo!
  • My posts aren't locked to signed-in users only.
  • No region-lock for my posts.
  • Feed is not yet another algorithm curating what I see.
  • No premium priority!
  • I don't have to post constantly just to appease the algo.
  • Dedicated communities are cool
  • Edit: I can edit!

My posts on twitter are barely getting noticed anymore and my impressions stagnated.

Rant over 😎

@jake4480 Totally understandable! Unfortunately, twitter is still really valuable as an aspiring dev both for networking and for marketing (got my games noticed over there by a bunch of accounts with lots of followers who posted them on many platforms). There are colleagues, publishers, streamers, etc...

Hoping more people make the move to Mastodon, although I'm not sure how good of an alternative to twitter it is, since it's more community-oriented, I guess?

Seemingly, people still need to see proof.

Can everyone drop their 3D Godot games in the replies please? 🎤⬇️

Better sun 🌞
Made with images and particles because shaders are hard😂. Turned out pretty cool regardless.

My jam game Light Lane Jumper is getting a face lift, optimizations and stages with more lanes and different bg colors!

I've also re-modeled the spaceship, so it looks better-ish now. Will probably redo it again though.

Ideas on how to improve the feel / visuals? 😁

For my latest game, Juice Powered Cyborg, I used a technique called Sprite Stacking to create "pseudo 3D", which was very effective in making a cool look for the characters and saving me a ton of time. Definitely going to practice 3D modelling more often in the future, though!

Where do you usually go to find new stuff on Mastodon? Home? Explore? Feeds? Do you visit other communities or stay on gamedev.place?

Does favorite function like Twitter's likes? Because it seems that boosting matters more to people here...

I'm not sure I'm using this site "correctly" 😵

@avivlevy@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@grumpygamer that makes sense, thanks! I guess the naming was a bit confusing since bookmarks and favorites are kind of similar concepts :O

Become one with the sun and destroy everything in your path -- if you manage to get this very rare pickup.

I probably need to make this even more epic though 😁

Now that the undo feature for the upcoming Troubled Turtles update is complete, I added:

A screen-shake when turtles eat.
A moving animation.
A happy dance when beating a level.
A dust effect when moving (gas propelled turtles?)

I love constructing maps! 👷‍♂️

Now that I am done with Spaceman, here's the next project in operation "publish my abandoned games": One Hungry Beast - an action adventure about finding a sacred relic in a seemingly desolate & very hostile place, now with improved graphics.

I've worked on this for more than six months before abandoning it. There's still a bit of work left before I can publish it though.

btw, the scene below is a test map, so it's a bit too crammed and random...

a dark, yet colorful pixel art scene with a retro color palette in a rural setting. Lots of leaves and trees swaying in the wind, an abandoned wagon, a corpse of a person next to a sword and a small river with a bridge. There is rain falling down, fog fading in and out and lightning flashes. At the center stands the hero dressed in brown and purple, with a short, red cloak around his shoulder, dancing in the wind

I love seeing more and more popular games on steam, with being among the latest. It looks great! Go Godot! 💪
