For my third game, I’m making a roguelite match-3 puzzle game about dropping blocks into a well called Dropt.

Unfortunately, @itchio is overrun by slop. The assets are slop, the tools are 'vibecoded'. It's an endless stream of spam which takes away visibility from great human-made creations. It's honestly just a sad state, anything you can do - itch?
Making an engine from scratch isn’t the most efficient way to build games, but getting features like asset and shader hot-reloading working is incredibly satisfying.

Out of all NextFest demos I've tried so far, I like Tiling Forest the most. And Wanderburg. Now back to the discovery queue.

I'm probably overengineering this. I've introduced simple genetic algorithm into my game bot, with a goal of hopefully finding most broken/fun builds. And to see how the game balance changes with each new item/upgrade.

I was wondering how bad a 100% random-move tactic would be in Dropt, so I made a simple bot to play the game for me.
The answer: it’s a really bad tactic.
But at least now I can build on it and run some automated tests in the future.

I'm creating my next game with just C#+https://t.co/DNzehFWYZ3 for OpenGL bindings instead of Unity and it takes so much less time to iterate on features. Mostly thanks to hotreloading of code that's pretty much instant. #gamedev
The Steam Winter Sale is here! Voxelgram and Voxelgram 2 are on sale, and so is Nonogram 3D. You can also grab them all in a bundle!

I know that everyone is probably getting Silksong right now, but I would like to tell you that Voxelgram 2 on Switch was updated to include original Voxelgram DLC puzzles.
@DevLand95213410 For Voxelgram I wanted a title that will sound like "nonograms" but tell players that it's 3D version. I didn't want to just call it "nonograms 3D" so I've replaced nono with voxel. And that worked well I think.
