@lorenschmidt The link I provided is just an example of the algorithm, unfortunately I can’t find images of the things I generated with the algorithm I coded

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@lorenschmidt Loren do you know about this very simple algorithm: https://t.co/lY1Z3bvPOK

I programmed the same algorithm a few years ago and I was using it to create characters as well as tiles and glyphs
I love the simplicity of it, it can create very cool minimalist stuff

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@thomasbrushdev Small long games, meaning small games in scope but games that can last long in terms of playtime, because the word of mouth will be amazingly better and for hundreds more reasons

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@wombatstuff You’re right to do so. It’s getting worse every day… like, it’s just by habit that we keep coming here, there’s nothing left to do now

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@lorenschmidt I’m looking forward to see what you’ll do if you give this project a try!

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@jakeonaut I love it!

ive never really done a #PortfolioDay .. most of the videogame art I've made has been in MSPaint

during my spare time, I've been working on a little project to help crowdfund for my baby nephew, who is currently fighting for his life.

hoping folks will like the enough to donate a bit to help 🙏 link in thread.

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@wombatstuff yes and it’s very pathetic of a publisher 😬

Gus Van Sant did it so he could enter Hitchcock’s artistic mind. Brillant move, actually. It was more a demake than a remake, in that regard.

[shredded Denim @denimneverdies]

Gus Van Sant directed a 1998 remake of Psycho that was just the exact same movie shot for shot but in color, and this was widely agreed to be artistically worthless and even offensive, whereas its equivalent in video games is standard practice

@doot_dodo I had the chance to see your mini talk at Game Conf and it was very inspiring!
I’m very interested in making tiny yet polished games myself, so thanks for the inspiration!

@FibreTigre Je te rejoins à 100% sur le fait de ne pas apprécier les jeux avec des tonnes de textes, mais justement DE n’est pas comme ça. Les dialogues sont courts, impactants, extrêmement interactifs (à un niveau jamais vu auparavant imo)…

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@FibreTigre Le jour où tu vas enfin jouer à Disco Elysium et te rendre compte que c’est le genre de jeux que tu appelle de tes vœux depuis des années Fibre…
Jamais vu un jeu parler aussi bien de rupture amoureuse, par exemple, il est bouleversant. Réellement.

@mreliptik oh I’ve seen that mail before… many times…

[unlucky chloe @SuperBlizzard]

so I really didnt want to come back like this. but, i lost my job unexpectedly today, right in the middle of looking for a new place to live. on the guidance of a close friend i've set up an emergency GFM to try and stay housed while i figure things out https://t.co/dv7pQb6bLL

[dotsquare @dotsquaregames]

@SuperBlizzard wonderful

I am starting to find chess too simple: a mere 8 by 8 grid, no fog of war, limited dialogue options between the two kings, they can’t even fall in love, etc. yaoi addresses these limitations

@wombatstuff I’d love that! I myself want to get better at coming with simple ideas quickly, somehow I always tend to make my designs too complicated (and too long to prototype as well)
