A few people have asked if there’ll be a second issue of DOCTYPE - basically if it sells 1,000 copies I’ll feel comfortable with trying to squeeze more out of the idea in a fresh, interesting way (not just about money, need enough interest from buyers & contributors)
(it’s currently at 320 sold)

I need to check my emails more frequently. Randomly searched for the word "sphere" to find a recent email and it surfaced an unread email I was sent at the end of September from somebody I've been waiting over 20 years to hear from! 🤯

A puzzle game called "Circuit Heat" that I made in 2003 just popped up on PC Format 161, alongside a version of Sticky Balls by The Pickford Bros. @stepickford.bsky.social
Of course, now I remember making it, but prior to today I had forgotten all about it! discmaster.textfiles.com/browse/42140...

I was thinking about how products, games, movies, etc, should be reviewed based on what they are, rather than what that aren't. Creators intentionally decide what goes into a final product. If you think something’s missing, it’s likely a conscious choice.

One thing I love *almost* as much as game development is game tooling development. The best kind of time investment in your project. 🤩

I made a game that is featured in the new DOCTYPE magazine by @vole.wtf @mattround.com! Honoured to be a part of it. 🎉
My game is a little skill-based reaction/arcade high-scorer. Sound familiar? 🤔
It has CSS graphics, HTML layout, and a tiny bit of JS to manage state. 🔰
