Game Developers Refuge

what an MVP. really thought I'd be able to scrape together something but it was a month (tm)

awesome! looking forward to seeing what games you make with it

lol should we change the topic title to 'Off topic - 2023 & 2024'?

Day 27 - alien dominoes https://deleter.freqshift.games/content/day27.gif Another sketch with a few idea seeds and room to develop some mechanics. Domino placement mechanics with some made-up alien symbols. Thinking there'd be some rules about the symbol combinations that would allow you to simultan...

Looking great so far. These kinda remind me of 300 mechanics in a way. 300 mechanics is a cool resource. One of the things I did when preparing for the month was to ideate and create a big bucket of things I could use if I didn't have an idea for the day. Once the month is over I plan on reviewing ...

Day 12 - Derez Effect https://deleter.freqshift.games/content/day12.gif Didn't have much energy this day so I knocked a derez shader off a backlog of shaders I want to write bug image source Day 13 - Simple control & state https://deleter.freqshift.games/content/day13.gif Still was a bit low so ...
