#byond So I haven't done my usual monthly round up yet, I got a uni assignment due this week so I'll probably catch up on the weekend 😬 July was meant to be a quiet month, I only had spod, a stupid chat program, Dreamland Universe and survive this to update.

In regards to other #byond development, I've been working on a new game with the help of some libraries. I've got a game going that has pixel movement shooting through the mouse / right analog stick (basically, the mouse). It's designed to be a tower defence / shooter, a bit like orks must die

#gamedev #byond so I forgot to mention it here as BYOND is pretty much down still, but I did update Zetris 2, my random Tetris clone without turning. It's only live on itch at the moment, but when the site is back up again I'll update it there too.

Busy week so haven't got round to updating a couple of more #BYOND games yet but the DDOS appears to be continuing. On non-BYOND news, this week was the anniversary of one of my #Magnavox #Odyssey #demake games "Puck Man" which you can download the files for here:

Today is the 18th anniversary of Wargames2, my Civilization clone on #BYOND. Unfortunately it still seems to be suffering from an apparent DDOS attack from a few days ago (like, seriously?) so I'm going to keep working on the update while it's down and upload when it's back up.

Hey, #gamedev and #indiegame friends!
I’m in need of a composer to do the Soundtrack for Kinfolk
It’s paid work, although being a #solodev I don’t have a big budget. Medieval Irish/Scandinavian Cozy vibes, with a bit of energy, chaos and fun.
DMs me!
Help spread the word!

#gamedev last week I updated Hostile Takeover for it's 20th anniversary on #BYOND, preventing rule changes mid game. I contacted BYOND for a distribution key as I felt I would have been comfortable enough releasing it on itch with an executable but no contact :( www.byond.com/games/Aceblo...

Just tried @f0lak.bsky.social 's #Kinfolk for the first time today after looking at the progress for awhile, I might have set a inn on fire 😬 and that's just me playing on my own!

Not at home at the moment so in a rare situation where I'm actually watching TV. Just watched #chessmasters where Thalia memorised the whole board without fail in a memory game. Turns out she's "local" to me and runs lessons in chess. Definitely one of us on the spectrum 😂

Moon sighted, Eid Mubarak. I promise to update games between now and next Ramadan 😂
April is the anniversary of Hostile Takeover, a BYOND game that I actually updated fairly recently. It's also the month I released Bucket Filler, which is a game I released on the channel F.

I have mostly made games for #BYOND under the username "acebloke", but now I develop #homebrew for the #Magnavox Odyssey and the #Fairchild Channel F. I have links to my itch account on my profile.
