I made Soccer Physics and several other somewhat successful games in the 2010s. Today, I'm a hobbyist game dev focusing on making freeware local multiplayer games using #Godot.

everyone steal this. let’s make this a new industry standard
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

One thing I like about AI is that it makes me a lot more confident with my lack of skills. My code is total garbage, my 3D just primitive shapes, and my English filled with spelling errors, but at least they feel human-made. Also makes me appreciate others' shoddy work more, as well as true talent.

Hey #ScreenshotSaturday, here's my one-button basketball game, playable in your web browser, on Itchio: ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket...
The game is getting closer to being done - today's build, v0.9.2, adds subtle improvements and a few bug fixes.
Let me know what you think :--)

You'll get to play version 0.9 of Otto's Basketball Game (yes, that's what I'm calling it...) tomorrow! I'm still adding a few details, but the game is close to being done. And no, there's no more to the game than what you see in the video - it's just about pressing one button and scoring points...

So, maybe a few compromises: additional keys (1,2,3 and 4) to toggle some settings (as hinted by the post-it note), and maybe a log in the upper right corner to keep track of what's happening.
I'm planning to release a "0.9" version this week, so you too can finally try this out :--)

WIP, and just with placeholder text, but maybe something like this as the idle animation/statistics view?
Any other stats I should keep track of? Bank shots perhaps?

Swish? Hoopie? Nothing-but-net? I'm looking at a Wikipedia page for basketball lingo and trying to figure out what to call it (in my game's statistics) when the ball goes straight through, without touching the rim.
In Finnish it's "sukkana sisään", which translates to "in like a sock"...

Bsky always does weird things to videos shot on my phone, but this thing actually runs 30fps and looks nice on my Anbernic RG 35XX plus, just had to disable the shadows. There's likely things I can still optimize, but I'm already very happy with how this runs on this cheap Linux handheld :--)

The scorestreak split-flap display now lives next to the score display. Looks maybe a bit crowded, but I think it's the best place for it.
I also quite like how this works witout any GUI overlay, and I might not need any menus either. A way to show some statistics would be fun to have, still, hmm.
