Alright I’ll try to put a bit more effort into an intro 🥴

I’m jwest, recently going by FollySoft in the gamedev sphere. I’m a dad who takes pictures and spends his lunch breaks making goofy little games.

You can find out more about me and the stuff I make at my website: follysoft.github.io

hello bsky! our game was taken down due to a false DMCA which completely killed our momentum at launch. our studio is in a very precarious position right now. please share and spread the word, steam has been little help to our situation.

I uploaded this to itch last night, still needs work but I thinks it’s kinda fun 🎵

Take note that it does require ffmpeg and ffprobe!

I fully admit I fall often into the comparison trap on here and discord. It's crazy to see what you all do and how good you all are at it, and I get hit with good ol imposter syndrome.

But I gotta still pat myself on the back for making what I do with (on average) 30 minutes of free time a day.

The tournament deserves a full analysis but the semifinals between @boshis.place's Little Baby Apples and @wonderville.nyc was ELECTRIC!

One day I'll make something impactful. Something that will be talked about in blogs. Maybe even something that will make money.

Anyway here's what I'm working on:
Its a thing that'll take your mp3s and make em sound like they were burned onto a scratched/smudged CD (sort of)

I'm really happy with how the new perks came out! The game has a bunch more variety now. It really feels like you can go for different builds every time.
