I was taking part in Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2 and here is the game I made for it:

Feel free to try it out, and you were taking part in the game jam too, give me rating and some feedback!

Here is a screenshot of a game I'm developing with Godot.

It's a brick busting game (obviously heavily inspired by Arkanoid) with a math twist.

I thought that making this game would be just a quick little thing but it turns out I was a fool for thinking that.

More info in thread

#gamedev #godot
Screenshot of game that looks like Arkanoid. There is a scoreboard indicating the player's current score as well as the target score. The player controls a paddle located at the bottom of the screen and there is a ball in motion on the screen. The player has to keep the ball in play to hit bricks that are located near the top of the screen. The bricks have numbers and operands on them.

Migrated my code from Github to Codeberg and now my gitgraph is looking all weird.

Kid me was like "A fuse? Oh you mean a empty ooze bottle for my Ninja Turtle figurines!"

I was looking for a software to make some pixel art for a game I'm developing and I found this one here: Pixelorama, on Itch https://orama-interactive.itch.io/pixelorama

It's pretty awesome, I love it!

Shoutout to @pixelorama.bsky.social

Some highlights from my Steam Wishlist

The one that says "unavailable item" is Grand Theft Auto

Also, when Rocket League became an Epic Store exclusive, free-to-play game, it stopped being displayed in my wishlist but it came back the other day, for some reason.

Back in February I showed something I was working on for the NES. Turns out I gave that up because it was unstable and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

So what I did is I started doing that game in Godot instead. Here's a screenshot of my (crude) WIP with placeholders:

#gamedev #godot
Screenshot of a game being made with Godot Game Engine. We can see a 2-player spaceship racing game but the assets of the game are only rectangles of different colours, as this is a work in progress with placeholder assets. We can also see some console logs with messages like "P1 UP" or "BANG! P2", these messages are thrown when buttons are pressed or collisions are detected.

Here is a little preview of a racing game that I am making with NESmaker, for Byte-Off 4. (very early stages, placeholder assets)

This part made me laugh. It kinda felt like I was at work while doing this because it was all so familiar.

Here is "screenshot" of a demo NES game that I made last year. I made with NESmaker, for the Byte-Off competition.

I have not continued developing it after the Byte-Off event and that's a damn shame.

My review of Starfield. 👨‍🚀

TLDR: It's all right but there's a bunch of things that suck, such as navigating menus, space travel and fighting other ships and a striking lack of accessibility features.

#gaming #videogame #steam #xbox #accessibility #bethesda
Pretty good game if you're into these other Bethesda games where you go around running errands and hoarding junk. Doesn't run too well on the Steam Deck, I hope they optimise it soon. ------ edit: After spending more time playing this game, here is an updated review (with a bunch of negative points). The game looks looks good, has nice art assets and facial animations are batter than on previous Bethesda games, but i find that it feels kinda empty when compared to the other games. Like they spread out too much and then they ran out out of juice when it was time to put NPCs and props in there. Fighting other ships in space is frustrating as f*ck. Moving between different planets and solar systems requires you to go through a bunch of menus and loading screens. Storage fills up very quickly so you always gotta go back and forth to offload/sell items. Exploring planets is kinda boring. Going through menus is tedious. Lack of accessibility features.

I got the Xbox Game Pass because it gives access to Starfield and then I also bought Starfield deluxe edition on Steam just in case.

Follow me for more financial advice.

On iOS tapping the profile pic redirects to the profile itself (taking the whole page instead of a neat modal like that). I guess what I was expecting was this option to show ip when pressing on the three dots on the top right (kinda like on the bird app)

I like this app and most of the people on it but I don't like how I need to go directly on people's profiles to be able to block or mute them. This should be like "tap on post" -> "Block user" and that's it.

Adding a cat picture here to get your attention on this pressing issue.
