My first #LudumDare! Random Walk is inspired by @hthrflwrs.bsky.social’s Unfair Flips and in playtesting it made a child cry in frustration. Try it out! #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine nuzcraft.itch.io/random-walk

Confused hero on a path. On the left it show confusion % plus buttons to upgrade think time, reduce confusion, increase multiplier and increase step value. On the right is a log of resets and a success

I did the first interview with @hthrflwrs.bsky.social- creator of Unfair Flips- and it's absolutely FASCINATING. Full of gamedev wisdom and philosophy you shouldn't miss.

For the record, I am completely cool with any and all remakes/demakes/hacks of Unfair Flips, SO LONG AS:
* You are doing something interesting, funny, or weird
* You are not allowing people to gamble with/for real money

Getting back to writing blog posts! ✏️

It’s old content, a 4y.o twitter thread, lost when I fled the old place. I decided to bring it back to you.

Maybe you recall it? It was about stairs 🛕

I always wanted to make a multiplayer game for a jam and finally did in the last Ludum Dare 58 compo.

Thank you for playing!!

The first idea only asks the player for more focus without changing anything. You could accomplish the same by generating a new path with each reset. The second idea sounds incredibly cruel and might be worth trying 😈 for the sickos

nuzcraft @nuzcraft.bsky.social · 7d

Yup - mechanically you’re right

nuzcraft @nuzcraft.bsky.social · 8d

This was a stretch goal I didn’t get to because I’d have to do some rebalancing depending on if going backwards would reset the multiplier or not. Plus I’d want a different ending depending if you got all your moves in a row or not
