I don't agree with the direction Twitter is going, and I don't want to support them in any way, even if its just content for my measly 44 followers. This will be my last tweet.

Sadly it looks like my entry into https://t.co/GquSip48iz won't be done in time. While I found @threejs fun to use at the beginning, I quickly ran into issues I couldn't get past. I'd love to get into 3d, but I'm feeling doubtful three.js is the tool for me.

#devtober Playing around with #threejs finally

Bit Butcher is available to play on @js13kGames -- https://t.co/rtGZ8mJFmp I welcome all feedback.

Thanks to @KilledByAPixel for the very helpful, polished LittleJS framework!

It's done! "Bit Butcher" is complete for #js13k . At around 13,182 bytes, it's just short of the 13kb limit. I'll post a link to the game once it's up on the @js13kGames site.

I've been a big fan of Voronoi Diagrams for 2D procedural terrain, but curious if there's a better (faster, more compact) algorithm that I can use -- or add on to this.

Looks like it's time to start slicing or finishing up for #js13k. Current size: 13,208 bytes
@js13kGames : "All your code and game assets should be smaller than or equal to 13 kilobytes - that's exactly 13,312 bytes"

Working on my #death themed #javascript game for @js13kGames , and ran into an amusing bug that caused all characters to spout blood non-stop. It's looking like this game will have more gore than I usually like, but not this much!

Added zoom to Little Boring Drill, so now you can see your progress as you make your way through the planet. https://t.co/7YtC56LXCQ

@Rhys_vdw @BoyWhoCriedGame This is an amazing, innovative game!

[Deathray Games (Moved to Mastodon) @deathraygames]

Finished my #ldjam #ludumdare48 entry last night after a few ups and downs, and gave it a name: "The Little Boring Drill".

It's confusing and a few things don't work as I wanted them to, but I think the core is fun: dig ➡️ build.

Progress on my #ldjam #LudumDare game. It's turning into something similar to "Star Hopper: Crank", but isn't using canvas, just html elements for everything. #javascript #gamedevjs #gamedev

Proud to say that my PLATO-style game "Min-craft" got ranked #2 for Authenticity. https://t.co/NAMyKWpaly #retrogames #retrojam #mincraft #PLATO

Believe it or not this is meant to be the start of a game... #retrojam #gamedev #plato #owlbat #mincraft #minecraft

For anyone curious about the #gamedev design process I went through for #js13k, I added a post mortem write-up to my repo for 404 Orbiting Asteroids: https://t.co/RhARJq3zeH

My entry for #js13k @js13kGames is now live and playable here: https://t.co/hC2Zm68Fw4 Let me know what you think! #javascript #webgl

[Deathray Games (Moved to Mastodon) @deathraygames]

@McFunkypants I feel the same way every year when I look at the js13k entries. Amazing stuff! I just learn to be happy so long as I'm not the worst game.

[Deathray Games (Moved to Mastodon) @deathraygames]

Completed my game for this year's #js13k : "404 Orbiting Asteroids" Although I didn't get too adventurous with the gameplay (copying a #retrogaming classic), I think it turned out fun, and I got to experiment with #webgl #javascript
