#BigHops is in Steam Next Fest!

It's a good hour long taste of our adventure: you'll use your tongue, learn to climb, find veggies you can build paths with, and borrow a stranger's backpack.

Another banger as I've come to expect from Trinket ♥️
A story and worldbuilding driven card battler with Mecha inspired by Star Trek is a welcome alternative to the recent sweaty roguelike dominance in the card genre.

Now for the bittersweet part of any launch day as a freelance worker, with the game out, I'm out looking for work again. So, need a UI/gameplay programmer, a top-notch senior/lead QA Analyst, a technical or educational game designer?

I'm open to freelance and full-time positions, hit me up! Please!

There is a fair amount of markup to scenes and learning how the asset works to use it effectively, but it’s really good and unobtrusive!

Me! It's nothing special, just hacked for exactly how our project is setup. Here's the code (heads up, there's lots of dependencies on other scripts): gist.github.com/cjacobwade/a...

We did it! All these green lines are scenes in Big Hops that have finished VO. Now I can really say all 100 of our NPCs are voiced 🥲

The couple of red spots are test scenes.

Been in the absolute depths today trying to debug a rendering bug that only shows up in builds. Shipping games is really nasty!

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Pretty solid progress on "Jelly Well" for the #FallingBlockJam today: functional menus, input improvements, physics tweaks, boss phase adjustments, the ability to actually restart the game, and I got it running in the browser!
tomorrow: audio!

Only 2 VO sessions left till we’ve got a full talkie! VO is so fun everyone should add it to their games.
