Websites by day, games by night. Python, C#, JS, etc. Primarily backend. Jamstack-curious. I'm the guy your linter complains about.

It took a couple sleepless nights but myself and a few other talented individuals put together a super cute little game in 48 hours for #gmtk2021.

Proud to introduce you all to Ducklinks, a game about herding feathered friends into a park fountain.

Recently gave my site a facelift. Took me just about two years(!) off and on to get the project done, but it's finally live.

@eleven_ty and @Netlify make for a top notch developer experience, let me tell you.

New and old https://t.co/6CK0j6wl0Y.

@chase_bass Shoes! I think they make the stomping and rail-grinding make sense, help differentiate the main character, and make the hitbox more clear while you're flipping around.

[Cel Davison @CelDavison]

We’re finally letting our game out into the wild. I’m so excited for youse to play it on the 30th!!!

[Courtney Byrne @aCourtneyByrne]

Hey all! Narrative designer/writer available for work here 🤠 Hire me if you want characters you’ll inevitably fall in love with (even though you shouldn’t), spicy window-steaming content, and stories that are authentic, inclusive, and fun. Worked at Fusebox Games, Wooga, & Tales

[Devon is on Bluesky now @Devon_Wiersma]

I really, really hate stepping away from issues before they're fully resolved. But also I value my free time.

But also it's not fixed yet.

But... Gah. I hate this.

our gmtk jam submission didn't do as well as we had hoped, but it has a lot of potential and we had so much fun making it so me & @JoahReason are working on another version with more polish, accessibility, and content!

@its_Boats Hey, thanks for this! It was a really fun time, and I'll probably start looking to do it for more jams coming up.

Obviously I didn't get to play it on stream, but Mr. Lasso was great fun. Excited to see what you do with it!

[Ethan Morrill-Ploum @morrilet]

@AutarcaDev Personally I'm most interested in ship boarding and dynamic rivals, but I don't remember anything specifically about those features outside of the Steam page. Maybe emphasizing that more could help separate you from the crowd?

[Ethan Morrill-Ploum @morrilet]

And of course, if you're interested in trying out our cute, chaotic duck herding simulator you're more than welcome to give it a go even now that the jam is over.

Ratings for #gmtkjam have closed, but our entry, Ducklinks, did pretty well! It'll be another week until we get the scores back, but after seven days we're sitting at 65 downloads, 2,856 impressions, and exactly fifty ratings within the jam.

Excited to see some numbers!

For my birthday today I am making my award-nominated @unity3d water shader FREE! Refraction, caustics, planar reflections, waves ... it has it all 🥳

[Ethan Morrill-Ploum @morrilet]

@JordanSharpe Everything is better with some distance, too. Tons of projects I thought were duds in the moment actually looked kinda cool a year later.
