It looks like Jagex is about to have its 4th owner in 8 years: CVC Capital Partners is looking to close a $1.1 billion deal to acquire the studio behind RuneScape. 👀 They're changing hands about as much as I change my underwear.

I really hope that, if they are sold off to this new company, that Jagex can continue its growth and the development of RuneScape can continue. I may not play the game as much as I once did, but it still holds a very special place in my heart as being my first experience with an MMO. While I might not agree with the directions it has taken over the years, there's no denying the appeal of playing RuneScape even today.

Looks like Humble Bundle is running a bundle on some Blender assets and 3D models. Might be worth a look-see for gamedev and the like?

A new Mario & Luigi game was just announced called Mario & Luigi Brotherhood! What do y'all think? I've never played a Mario & Luigi game.

this project probably looks familiar, but it's likely the 4th rewrite since the last time I posted here... only this time I added a ball you can kick around, so I'm probably not going to make anymore progress as I'll be stuck kicking this ball around...

Way to make me feel old, @gamejolt .

Oh who am I kidding? We're all getting old.

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 4 celebrates @ElPichon ! They're just a bird who likes to draw! They're also the developer behind The Bunny Graveyard II and Chunky JUMP!. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: How Did You Learn Game Dev?

After several hours of trying to explain how to count to 18, I have a working prototype of a game idea I've had courtesy of Gemini CLI. 😬 Depending on how the testing phase goes, I will be rewriting this myself into a more fleshed out game soon. 🤞

Here's my coin purse. I'm slowly turning into the weird dude who pays in all gold dollars. 😬

Happy Devruary! Devruary Day 5 celebrates @ExpoDev ! He's the founder of PMH Interactive and is working on The Obsessive Shadow and more. We also have a question for the devs of Game Jolt: What keeps you making games when it gets tough?

I think my third-person camera and player controller is done. 👀 Now I can finally move on to the next functionality to implement!
