The next general election being years away and the current momentum of the Greens makes me optimistic.

🚧 Sorry everyone, it appears we're currently under a DDOS attack and our host, Linode, put a networking restriction on our main web server, meaning it isn't publicly available. We've reached out to them for more information. Hope to have an update soon.

Baby Steps Help!

I do not think this is actually possible. Someone please prove me wrong.

Today I'm starting a beta test of the full game. My plan is to have this running while I finish up a few final things and start on the final marketing push.

If you'd like to test and give feedback on the full game, come join the discord server: discord.gg/cQCET4NrgG

Had to find a nice middle ground, but I agree, it feels pretty good :)

Hey! I initially thought I'd be releasing early this year, but since this is my first game there was obviously way more work than I anticipated! :)

But here it is, hopefully releasing in a couple of months, my pixel physics space mining game:

Looks like I reacted too quickly. It's funny that regardless of this the ICO are still going to pursue the fine.

Also, I'm just now learning that Imgur is owned by a company called Media Lab AI. So fuck that.

JuhrJuhr @juhrjuhr.itch.io · 16d

Really cool that Imgur has blocked the UK as a result of the Online Safety Act. Definitely not going to impact me and all my game related images hosted there.

I've added a Ram which lets you smash into things without hurting yourself. It also comes with its own tiny highscore tracker :)

@jdsherbert.itch.io has been doing really amazing work for the game's OST, with more to come.

Give it a listen here if you've not heard it in the demo yet!

#OTD 19 September 1991, walkers in the high Ötztal alps on the Italian border, found a body melting out of the ice. It turned out to be the remains of a c.5200 year old man preserved with all his kit.
Of course, it was essential to replicate him in Playmobil.

This is nice, I think I'd go with this approach if my tutorial wasn't interactive and there were more elements to explain.

JuhrJuhr @juhrjuhr.itch.io · 28d

I think there are two kinds of players who do this; those that can then figure out the game on their own, and those who can't and then quit early.

Catering to both without annoying people has been tricky, and now I understand why many games have tedious tutorials.

I've been surprised by some of this feedback, since a lot of the issues mentioned could be solved by reading a small amount of text that's actually on the screen. But some people just like pressing buttons, and I should really appreciate that if they've already taken the time to play my game.

JuhrJuhr @juhrjuhr.itch.io · 29d

I got some feedback recently that quite a few players didn't realise there were more levels after the tutorial in my demo. So I've been working to find and fix any UX issues new players might have.
