The theme this year was "Loop". In Shape Fu Mi, you have to eat shapes in a rock-paper-scissors fashion to stay alive.

Marbies Party's character customization system is finally done! Here's just one example of the wonders you can achieve with it 🐝I call this one "marbiebee".

I was wondering how to allow players to type easily with a gamepad. Then I remembered BGE spiral keyboard, which I loved as a kid (+ @gamemakerstoolkit.com recent video featuring it). It's so over engineered but so much fun to work on 😆

I spare you the terrifying sound loop, but here's what it looked like. When a crate spawns on top of spikes, it explodes. But when a crate explodes, it respawns on an other spot. So if there are spikes on every spot you end up with this ◕‿◕

Screenshot of crates exploding in an infinite loop, in a game that is usually rather calm. Screenshot of a desperate game dev killing his stuck Unity task.

A little character drawn amongst notes and drafts for a game. They are looking very tired (maybe in the image of the person who drew them, who knows?), holding a cup of coffee and reflecting on life thinking "Why though".

Thank you for this! I'd love to be added to the solo dev list if there's still room. I'm working on Marbies Party, a couch party game revolving around mazes (demo releasing soon hopefully 🙏)

Tiny glimpse at the podium scene in Marbies Party. I've been working a lot on the scoring system lately, more on that soon ◕‿◕ Getting closer to the demo 🤞
