This is the Steam trailer for Star Spark that I'd been working on!
The game isn't done, but just having the store page is a big milestone for me.
Wishlist it if you like what you see!

Apologies for how many more times I'm very likely to share this, it's just wild to me that it's actually _there_ and I'm still being a little geeky about it.

Star Spark
[There's a youtube trailer of Star Spark here]
Developer: JoyFlow Games
Release Date: TBA

Surely this can’t be the first time someone’s had the sense to combine a Slay The Spire-style roguelite progression with old-school NES-like turn-based combat? Surely? But I’ve never seen it until now, in the excellent-looking Star Spark. And I want to be playing it already! The sprite art, the feisty animations, and the pumped up music are all on point.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e7xmfdjzn4arhrm3mcj2nzp2/bafkreiexz6zphkymepk3nq7uooa52i4alunmfe5pus3whmi5fsifyfeb74@jpeg)

A small but nice thing I added to #StarSpark this week -- the game will now pause if you're using a controller and it disconnects for whatever reason.

Some more cheeky #GodotEngine 'watch-dev'.
On the one hand, was an interesting challenge thinking of a game that made sense on the form factor. Only radial game I could think of was old school Tempest.
On the other, these devices clearly aren't made for it. I rinsed the battery in no time!

Day 2: Thanksgiving leftovers pot pie!
Bottom has a layer of mashed potatoes, the inside is turkey, corn, mushrooms, carrots, celery, and I added some leftover gravy to the roux. Smooshed leftover stuffing in the top and it got nice and toasted!
This is going to be my new leftovers go to🤤

I've extended the deadline to December 3, since I'll be out of town anyway. Might take some late submissions past that, but the closer they are to the event, the less likely I'll be able do get them in!
Attention Indie Devs!
I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.
The anti-spam key is "kook".
