Please tell all your nerdy friends about my little programming game/toy about coding voxel objects with Lua in a fake retro OS with excessive social features 😅

so happy to have finally beat this challenge in Ocean Planet (adam314's masocore platformer, which is the first premium game on my site arcade2.io, but i never actually beat it before now). harder than a Celeste b-side imo...

it would have to be twinsen’s odyssey.

by the way if you want to try it, make sure you play the version with good sound design, which as far as i know is hosted only on my site for the sake of digital preservation

It was really fun to see the crowd come out on Halloween night. This year, the pumpkin count has tripled from last year, and we're now at 18k pumpkins!

i highly recommend this if you feel like playing a lightly spooky “metroidbrainia” with chill vibes overall! you’ll probably have to keep a little notebook to actually beat it, but personally that’s fun to me (i haven’t actually beat it yet)
my very normal gardening game ‘Grunn’ is out on Steam! i’ve worked on it for almost 2 years! very happy that it’s finally done & playable :)

found a cool trick with Godot shaders. if you convert a turbulence effect to shader material, you get access to some nice glsl 4D noise functions (here i'm testing an explosion effect i made with it, along with SSIL and SSR)
