Happy B-day, Goob!

Suttyóság (for lack of a better word: bullshit). That's exactly why I run simplewall and block everything that doesn't have a good excuse to access the web.

I've been using Construct 3 for almost 5 years now, and I thought it was time to share some knowledge with fellow devs.
So check out Advanced Construct at advancedconstruct.net to read about how I do things in the engine. I have some free template projects too!

We made another jam game! Wordpile is a bit like mahjong, but you have to find words to remove tiles.
So far it has 2 game modes (one chill, one intense), 6 layouts, 3 difficulty levels and supports English, Hungarian and Slovak languages.

That red thing under your desk kinda looks like an RC-1 looper pedal.

Is that a Boss RC-1 and would you be open to use it during a jingle redeem? :)

We started prototyping a tiny jam game the other day with the intention of joining the HEJ jam in March. One of the themes is "spring", so we went with a 2D pogo stick movement mechanic:

Controls with WASD, very floaty at the moment (build 6).

I've been working on this for the last couple of months and I'm so proud to be able to make something that helps folks play more, save money, and reduce their carbon footprint by reducing, reusing, and recycling their game materials. More on my idea for it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMs-...

A fellow attendee of the Hungarian "Havi Egy Játék" (One Game a Month) jam series made a very neat (English) summary of his experience of making 12 games in 2024. I highly recommend this format to anyone who's at the start of their game dev journey.

Now that you mention it... :D could be! The current concept is something like Kingdom / Plants vs Zombies, where the player has to plant & grow "defensive plants" to keep out waves of enemies, but this might change momentarily :)
