Got a lot of interesting games played this month. Iberian Gauge by @amabel.bsky.social might be my favorite.

I did a game dev workshop last week in Paris with @kaplayjs.com. It was a great weekend thanks to the genius kids that came by. I was also blessed by sunshine ☀️ and by the invaluable help I got from the civic service team 💪 !

I've updated my docs for @kaplayjs.com [in french], with a new, more flexible template which is easier to read and transform. Thanks to @achtaitaipai.com for his contributions.

Had a blast this weekend playing train games with some veterans of the genre in Saint-Malo. A rich and inspiring experience ! Thanks to Alain and Xavier for hosting the event.

Very happy with my first workshop session about procedural generation.
The participants were very into it and got a real grip on their protocols. Looking forward for the next session this week.

Currently updating my documentation on @kaplayjs.com. Doing my best to offer the most accessible experience, while remaining coherent and open to creative ideas.

Prototype for a procedural generation workshop.
I tried different protocols today with interesting results. The bingo chips and spinner are very handy. Drawing colored chips to define colors works well, but is a little more laborious. Rolling dice turns out to be a bit too tedious.

Today I created images for stamps that I'll be using in my procedural generation workshop. Was heavily inspired by all the Bitsy gems out there on @itch.io

@kaplayjs.com is a wonderful library that I use a lot in my workshops. Over the years I put out a documentation page to help me implement game ideas quickly with the participants.

First draft for a workshop about procedural generation. The aim is to get children to imagine drawing protocols using a wide range of random inputs, and then see how it goes by manually executing it on paper with stamps.
