Did some work to add achievements to the d2jam site. Had them in before the jam and just pushed a couple more changes to improve the visuals.
They work by players self reporting completion and based on the amount of people that have gotten an achievement it is assigned a rarity.

Been working on some more features for d2jam.com. Ill be doing some posts showing off new features I added to the site in the lead up to the jam (which starts Sep 5th)
The first new feature is the addition of a localization system for people to browse the site in other languages

Made some pixel art designs for a r/place type canvas event! One for programming.dev and one for #d2jam. Both include smaller designs (for d2jam games from the jam, and p.d communities on the site). For anyone interested the event starts in around an hour at canvas.fediverse.events

Been getting a bunch of work for uni lately (hence the no posts) but that should clear up in a couple months and then I can start having a proper post schedule again
Did some work on d2jam.com again recently to add in the Theme Elimination system & some visual improvements

Another daily d2jam.com update. Today I worked on post previews and updating the visuals of the featured streamers area.
Post previews let you see the content of the post without needing to navigate off of the page (by opening it up in a drawer). Useful for compact post styles.

Working on a game for the pirate software jam + stream team jam real quick before those end. This is the current progress of 8 hours
Ive managed to make it impossible to record a video without the bitrate being demolished. And this is only half the planned post processing
