吸って打ち出すDownwellライクゲー思いついたけど、シンプル楽しいかも～。

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

platformer, then "plink!", then "slam bounce"

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

But, yes, I am alive, well, and as into making games as ever! It's been a bit of a journey recently, I've swapped jobs, I've moved across the country, I've done plenty more than I thought I would've...

... but we're SO back! 💪

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

Scratch any and all plans I had in the past for what was coming up next! That's coming... after what's actually coming up next.

I'm making a basic 2D platformer to re-familiarize myself.

Then SLAM BOUNCE. Trust. 👍

@SnoozyKazoo Anti-crunch culture is best culture. I hope the game blossoms in as much time as it needs. 😙

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

@CoinAndCauldron The new system is so visually clear, it blows the old one out of the cauldron! With the auto-grouped ingredients added to the cart with a click, as well as a more navigable ingredients list, it's undeniably an improvement.

Très sympa comme jeu d'été à picorer ce petit "Pikki Rikki" de @coleplusgames pour la @playdate 🐰🥕🟨

Je vous rassure devant la difficulté du jeu je n'ai pas fait le try harder et me suis contenté de la note "C" sur certains niveau ^^

Note : aussi difficile que mignon !

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

@SynchroBF That's such a cool idea, and awesome execution with that static-y effect too. 👀

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

Keeping things under wraps as I prototype movement and other key mechanics, but I'm back to dev! Think "Breakout", or "Arkanoid", with a fundamentally fun spin! Stay tuned! 👍✨

(Working title, it's changed around ten times in the past 48 hours.)

Spoke a day too soon!

Since I've been taking steps to learn Godot and Inkscape (in place of Unity and Adobe Illustrator), I started making a random UI menu for practice...

... and, all of a sudden, we're making game assets and prototyping mechanics... More to come soon! 👀✨

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

Yeesh, there's a lot of dust on this account, isn't there?

What my next project is, I'm still not sure yet... but I've got plenty in my backlog. Honestly, a little too much!

No matter the engine, no matter the genre, platform, or otherwise, I can promise it'll be fun! 👍✨

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

@JensVide777 Advance-ing this right into my bookmarks!

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

@SuddenKebab I love little features in combat systems like this, really diversifies strategy and makes for some really fun approaches to combat.

[cole+ games @coleplusgames]

@buine123 Ooh, the fun interactions to be had with position-swapping mechanics. The atmosphere here is really nice too!
