I spent this week switching to a tile-based character controller, along with heavily expanding my least-favorite part of game development: the user interface 😅

I keep getting asked which game engine actually makes the most sense right now, so I turned my answer into a tier list. Gotta admit, it felt very cathartic to talk about one engine in particular engine 😈

Of all the engines I’ve used, Godot’s localization is easily the best. I think you can truly get by without writing a single-line of code thanks its 'Remap' feature allowing you to switch out fonts, images, etc depending on localization. It's freaking magic.

Everyone chases originality in game design, but the fact is, everything’s stolen. So how do we still have original ideas like Balatro and Lethal Company releasing? I try and tackle that conundrum in this video: youtu.be/9xgP8wkYNEs

Get Lost's auto-localization is complete! 🦾📝
Levels added to the game are automatically translated to 17 different regions. This means that stories from different cultures can be shared around the world 📢 🌎
So what is game localization? [1/7] 🧵

There are a variety of level modifiers now for the tracks in my procedural racing game
❗ - Increases the difficulty
🔁 - Adds multiple laps
↗️ - Doubles the distance
💀 - Boss node that significantly increases difficulty and unlocks the next section

1 week into a 2 week jam. Kinda shocked that I made pretty much everything you see here outside of the fonts and animations 😳

Pythia passed the Steam Deck test! Unfortunately it’s the weakest hardware in my house to test on lol. It actually worked pretty well with touch controls 🤔

Took a stab at the main menu. Also here's the tentative title for the game 😉

I discovered DoTween and it's amazing! I wish I had used it at the start of this game jam, but just look at these buttery smooth animations!
Also super glad this is a month-long game jam. Took me two days to rip out the old animation system.
