I make games and join game jams!

[Chang Zhen @akirassasin_dev]

it's been a long time since I've posted anything...
for the past few years I've been struggling to complete game jams, one reason or another
but this time we got a #7DRL #roguelike done!

made a roguelite shooter for #GGJ23 #gamejam
with a game idea from #chatgpt as a restriction

it gave a generic name but a surprisingly decent starting point to design from...

for once, #GMTKJam doesn't clash with any exam or submission deadlines, so I tried my hand at making a melee beat-em-up! equip your dice on your weapons and slice the heck out of your enemies

during the weekend, I joined the global game jam with my friends in university ~
#GGJSG22 #GGJ22 #gamejam #globalgamejam
the concept was the duality - body and mind - that has to be unified to overcome challenges

experimenting with #shadergraph and #unity's particle system - I don't think there's a way to make particles not intersect each other though, so I'll have to manually spawn quads later on...

look at them e y e s though

day 17 continued - using a distance field to figure out what's the maximum size of an object you can place at a location, so that random objects can easily populate a space without overlapping.

#procgen #procedural and perhaps #genuary

day 17 - using textures generated from yesterday's voronoi diagram, I used #unity3d #shadergraph to achieve this effect.

(using alpha as a cut-off point for the voronoi distance field texture)

[Chang Zhen @akirassasin_dev]

day 16 - tried generating voronoi diagrams with the s-hull algorithm.

it took me a lot longer than it should have...
#processing #math #generative

[Chang Zhen @akirassasin_dev]

day 15 - added spikes to enemies.
later on, different types of enemies will use these spikes to defend or attack the player

tomorrow: figure out what kind of levels I want to make, and try out a visual effect I have in mind

day 14 - back to #gamedev!

this was a #weeklygamejam submission that I'm fond of.
let's see how we can expand the gameplay in a week!

day 13 - got the color picker up and running.
#react #javascript #color

try it out on itch!

[Chang Zhen @akirassasin_dev]

day 12 - added "locking" so that you can control the in-between colours. I'll add a few more basic features, clean up the styling, figure out how to turn it into a web and native app, and call it a day.

#react #javascript #colors

day 11 - instead of getting stuck at making a portfolio site, I decided to clear my mind by experimenting with more #react.

I'm glad I stumbled upon @radix_ui on twitter - otherwise, it would have taken me hours to make that popover...

[Chang Zhen @akirassasin_dev]

day 9 - was stumped for a while, thinking about how to present individual contributions in a larger group project on my portfolio website while looking at other people's portfolio sites

seems like I'll have to scrap my current project layout for a more "resume" style thing
