#gamedev folks from the Midwest-do you have a favorite convention to attend and/or exhibit your (video) games at?

I didn't have much time (I am moving this week and about to start a new job) but I wanted to make something for the #gmtkjam. I only spent about 3 hours on it so it is missing a lot of polish and all sound. Let me know what you think! jeffharper.itch.io/rotating-rings

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show off a little polish progress I have made on my #platformer. I have been playing around with particles and very basic vector graphics. Nothing is finalized, but I am really liking the simple look I am getting. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #unity

I am going to be taking some time off from streaming. Not sure when I'll get back into it, but I'll keep working on my project on the side and hopefully be better about posting updates here!

#screenshotsaturday I now have a complete game loop for my 2.5D #platformer. I am just a main menu and pause menu away from feature complete for my prototype. Next up is figuring out some art and whiteboxing lots of levels!

#screenshotsaturday I am wrapping up the first round of prototypes for obstacles in my 2.5D #platformer. One of my favorite, both to create and play, is the homing missile. I stream on #twitch Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST.

Some storms have decided to ruin my stream and I ended it early. I'll make up the time this week with a few longer streams.

What's a #platformer without buttons and levers? These obstacles really add to the ability to create fun puzzles. They can be permanent or deactivate after a certain duration.

I stream #gamedev Sun - Fri from 10am to 12pm on #twitch. www.twitch.tv/jeffharperga...

#screenshotsaturday I am making a skill based 2.5D platformer where speed and precision are king. I am currently prototyping obstacles the player will face. Here is a full suite of sawblades.

I think proximity mines were a good addition to my 2.5D platformer. They encourage both speed and caution. Get too close for too long and they go off, firing deadly spikes in all directions!

Sometimes the ground isn't safe. Watch out for Saw Blades hidden in the floor. I am having a lot of fun adding all of the obstacles I can think of to my 2.5D Platformer.

What are some of your favorite obstacles you have faced in a platformer?

Water has a place in every game, so I added some to my 2.5D platformer. This obstacle is super fun and requires you to change the way you think about moving. I go live on #twitch at 10am CST with more #gamedev, come hang out.

The stream got cut short today thanks to a little bit of rain! I'll be back tomorrow.

Getting excited to start designing some challenging puzzles as I get more obstacles completed. Added in keys and doors as well as lasers! I stream on #twitch Sun - Fri from 10am - 12pm, come hang out while I work on more obstacles. #gamedev #indiedev

Added connected teleporters into my 2.5D #platformer. Now you can hop between locations with ease, but beware what is on the other side. Come hang out on #twitch while I stream more #gamedev.

Spikes can now be shot out of a cannon in my 2.5D platformer! I added some debug lines to visualize the trajectory for easier setup. I stream the #gamedev live on #twitch Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST, come hang out. #indiedev #unity

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show a simple, but useful tool I made for my new 2.5D platformer. It measures the distance between objects, giving me a precise scale and position for setting up objects. Tools like this help so much with #leveldesign.

Careful of the spikes! Working on death for the player in my 2.5D Platformer. Got in some spikes, going to be building some tools for #leveldesign live on my #twitch stream. #gamedev #indiedev

Setup a camera follow for my 2.5D platformer. The camera is bound by the level boundary and smoothly follows with a slight damping. I stream my work on this project over on #twitch (Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST). Come hang out while I work! #gamedev #indiedev #unity

I added some checkpoints into my skill based 2.5D platformer. Streaming the #gamedev on #twitch Sun - Fri 10am - 12pm CST. Today I'll be working on the camera. Come hang out! #indiedev #madewithunity

Yesterday I started a new prototype on my #twitch stream. Got the player movement working. Come hang out as I work on a respawn system. #gamedev #indiedev #unity www.twitch.tv/jeffharperga...

New #twitch streaming schedule! I'll be attempting to stream at least 2 hours each day Sunday - Friday from 10 am to 12 pm CST. Give me a follow to know when I go live. #gamedev #indiedev www.twitch.tv/jeffharperga...

When working on a prototype, I struggle with sticking with an idea. This isn't always bad, sometimes an idea just doesn't work. So today I am starting a new prototype today live on #twitch, maybe this one will stick. Come hang out! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity www.twitch.tv/jeffharperga...
