Have had a small breakthrough with my silly prototype, meaning that swing speed & angle finally do matter :)

Woke up with tinkering energy. Spent it on my silly golf prototype. I want to lean into the mechanic of standing on a ball and hitting it...

10/10 game

Happy to have gotten 3rd in Theme out of ~270 submissions!

I think difficulty played a large part of this game's downfall... as it is insanely hard haha. More hints / SFX needed to guide the player, better onboarding etc.... Be grand. Maybe I'll do a follow up patch :)

Played a tiny role in a massive game, glad to see it getting such a positive launch so far! ❤️

Shoutout to gitlab.com/snopek-games... for the-so-far-so-good addon!

I'll be building this game from the ground up using deterministic game logic to prevent hopefully most issues.

Made a silly Trolly prototype a while back. I should revisit some day soon. Mariokart meets Lidl

Ashamed to admit I am ~7 hrs deep into dredge, a beautiful game, and I find it really difficult and cannot progress whatsoever 😭
I have to find objects. Turns out, I am terrible at this exact thing

Results came in! Considering I did not finish this I am quite happy out of 500 submissions to be top 200 for many of them categories :)

Bought some lovely rigs recently and couldn't resist doing a fight scene after watching Arcane S2!

Recently I've been sim racing a bit with a steering wheel and pedals, and then I realized I had a VR headset lying around... oh my god it is such craic

Happy with this little constraint setup I have going

Been doing weekly poses with the Animation team. The theme of this one was 'perspective'!

Some major updates since I last talked about my #godot game-off jam!
1: Added lose conditions: either you let the queue get too long for security, or you make so many mistakes that your wages reach zero.
2: Lil bit of art (really lil)
3: Bitta font
4: Simple button animation!
