Super Beefit Demo is out on Steam!

This is my first Steam game, hoping it's only a beginning to a series of solo-dev indie games.

Please consider wishlisting to support/encourage future development!

Found an Atari 800XL, my first computer at age of 9. The manual has the 1st program I ever typed into anything. Back then we had no VCR, had not yet seen an arcade. Controlling a TV screen felt like magic that is now gone from the world. Got my son to try it, didn’t hit the same.

@raysan5 Is it just hitting max signed value for 32bit int? Weird that it would do that for a hex literal though...

[Martin Cietwierkowski @martin_things]

@ocornut Yes it's possible to use Unity without a scene editor. Infact I made a whole immediate-mode fantasy console inspired framework for Unity. It's code only, no scene graph. It basically just throws vertex buffers at Unity. https://t.co/Vq55oeRXzm

I've been making exclusively pixel games for a little while, but secretly I love a simple flat shaded vector art style. I'm not much of an artist though, I'm practicing now in Affinity Designer (so good). This art style inspired by Kingdom Rush & work by @StevenColling

I ported my sokoban game "Piotr Pushowski and the Crates" from Jai to C++, and created a playable WebGL/WASM build using emscripten. Try it out at https://t.co/IyVFRlCvoN!

June 20! After 5 long years in the making, my book is available in bookstores! I wanted to thank everyone who ordered my book and supported the Kickstarter and were also sweet enough to also post pictures and share my book when it arrived in their homes. I'm beyond honored ❤️

@lukesturg @Jonathan_Blow Jai compiler doesn't currently have a macos version, but I believe it's coming soon.

This compiles for Linux and Windows only at the moment.

Also I don't have access to a mac, so that's a hindrance!

[Jonathan Blow @Jonathan_Blow]

The source code to Piotr Pushowski has been posted, for those who are interested...

(I haven't looked at it, do not condone or condemn, etc!)

[Martin Cietwierkowski @martin_things]

I've been asked by some folk to release the source code for "Piotr Pushowski and the Crates" for the benefit of the growing Jai developer community. Here it is:

Check out my new sokoban-clone game.

This game is made using the upcoming Jai (working title) programming language by @Jonathan_Blow. Notably Jon has mentioned that this is the first published game in Jai!

@georgebsocial Thanks @georgebsocial! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it!

[George Broussard @georgebsocial]

Just finished this fun little Sokobon clone game.

What's notable about it is that it was developed and shipped on Jonathan Blow's language, Jai, that he's developing. #gamedesign #gamedev #gamedevs #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper #indiedev #indiedevhour #indiedeveloper #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indiegamedeveloper #indiegames #indiewatch #pixelart #programming #jai #jaigame

@Jonathan_Blow Thanks @Jonathan_Blow! Great language, looking forward to doing for in it! I didn't think I was racing for a first, so this is a great surprise!

[Jonathan Blow @Jonathan_Blow]

I was not the first to ship a game in the new programming language...

Psst. Every single asset pack is now $5.00 - I’ll probably make an ad or something but for those paying attention ✌️ https://t.co/JRn9VQt3Oz

Check out this little game I made, Skull Sweeper https://t.co/Kw3LyynOF3

An experimental Minesweeper + Roguelike mashup.

Originally this was binary download only, but I ported it to #retroblit this weekend, and now it's playable in-browser!
