“I wonder if Paradox will keep up with the times and turn Chirper into Y and when you open it it’s full of people posting far right propaganda and deranged conspiracies and accusing the mayor of being a 15-minute-city-touting Deep State Jew for wanting to turn a street into a pedestrian zone.”
I laughed.

A title. Instructions. Very important elements of game design, or so I’ve read.

@ArtifexUmbra Oh, I should add space wrenches!

@ArtifexUmbra Really I’m just going through the tutorial material from the link up top, combining into one vaguely cohesive game, using Itch assets for a consistent look.
I don’t even know what the game will be by the end of the day.

@ArtifexUmbra though whatever it is, I’ll be sharing the link at that point.

@ArtifexUmbra I like microStudio as a learning environment for 2D game dev.
No-code learning environments have so far been too much for my code-oriented brain, but this hits a sweet spot for easy Lua-ish code and integrated lightweight workflow tools.

@funkatron great site, great resource, but yeah borderline hostile design for low-vision users.

Far enough along that I can pretend it’s a very simple game that I kinda suck at (high score 10). So here’s Space Dodgeball, my #microStudio learning project.

still needs sound and other game-like things, but there’s a play loop in there!
