Doing a 360 Ollie Kickspinn flip with my game and ditch the unit "shop".
Players control a Hero who builds the base, creates the scrap piles for money, and eventually recruit units + upgrades. Hopefully this will create more hooks, more fun and increase engagement.

Working on a power-up for the base itself. First upgrade: arrows that stick to targets🏹 #SoloGameDev

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

Congratulations to the challenges winners!
Unfortunately, my game wasn’t good enough to make the top 10 or unique enough to win a challenge, but I’ll come back stronger next year💪

Thanks for a successful #gamedevjs game jam.

Did you know #spine2D can be used for UI animations as well? Here's a switch with a toggle animation we can use in our game's UI.

Using Spine2d is easier, faster, and more convenient than trying to create the same animation in code.

@FatalExit @phaser_ Congrats on number 1 in audio. I’m not surprised as I felt like an actual DJ playing the game.

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@Stiggstogg Thanks for the review and the shoutout!

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@FatalExit @phaser_ @wavedash Looks nice. My son (8 years old) just started to learn how to type on a keyboard. I'll have him playtest your game when it's ready!

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@nihdao Thanks! I'll be sure to check out yours too. Been watching the updates, and it looks interesting.

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

With less than 2 hours left before the deadline, here is my #gamedevjs submission: Mean Machines

Didn't have time to add everything I wanted. Post jam, I'll include some cool and powerful weapons.

The swinging mechanic in 'Swing Shot' works by finding the closest anchor point, creating a distance joint, then applying force over time 🪂😺
Clean Box2D + #Phaser implementation. 266k plays in 28 days on @YouTube Playables.

@phaser_ @YouTube Wow, thanks for the shoutout, and the preview looks really nice too!

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@d954mas You just invented a new challenge for #gamedevjs game jam: Publish on Steam. The game looks polished!

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@HngPhVnh192164 Indeed. Have to do it one step at a time.

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

Yesterday was all about getting the game loop working.
Time to add the roguelite mechanics with upgrades to make it more fun #gamedevjs

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

@rcemandev @Gamedevjs Thanks! Still a lot more to add. I hope I have time for everything.

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

Does this look like a Mean Machine to you?

[John 🎮 Reit Games @ReitGames]

Doing some early stress testing. Don't want the frame rate dropping (too much) if someone ever reaches beyond the end-game.
