WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN A GAMEJOLT PROJECT LIKE THIS?

Now that Dead Drift is on its track, I want to share this idea with you folks -- it could be a fun GJ project we could play together!

I actually had this idea some weeks ago, but since I was struggling a little with Dead Drift's design, I didn't want to distract from it. Now that the project is... well... no longer adrift... I think I can share with you folks this idea to see whether you'd think this would be fun or not.

(And before I start: let me say that the image I posted is just an example of what the project would look like on a daily basis. To make it I used Jerom's 16x16 Fantasy Set, available on Open Game Art. I'm still not sure if for this project I'd create a tileset from scratch, or wait until some "runs" for that... we'll see...)


What is this idea, you're asking? (or not... let's pretend you are...)

I'm calling it a "Poll Game."

Basically, it would go like this:

I would start sharing a small map, probably centered on a small settlement or something of the sort. Around this settlement, there would be a few geographical features, places of interest, possible threats to the settlement, etc.

Everyone playing would play as members of the settlement's Council. People could join and leave at any time.

For every post, I would write a brief description of what's happening on the map, and post a poll regarding what the people of the settlement should do.

For example, on the image I hastily drew as an example for this post, some Goblins have appeared in the Southeast. The poll could offer a few options, such as

  • "Send the Warrior to battle them";

  • "Send the Wood Elf to investigate them";

  • "Do nothing."

The most voted option would be the decided course of action, and in my next post, I would show an updated version of the map, narrating the effect of the decision ("a few days have passed...") and also starting another poll!

It's like a collective strategy/building RPG thingie... I guess!

OH! And I almost forgot: CHARGED STICKERS are collected over time and can be used to activate SPECIAL OPTIONS! OooooOoooooOooooo


So! What do you folks think? Does this sound interesting to you? Would you like to play something like this? I'd love to know, please leave a comment! :)

Cheers, folks!

For this #DrawABirdDay I decided to make a simple animation as if Greedy Grackle was one of the Socks from Sock Town!

Here's Greedy Grackle Sock!

#pixelart #animation

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

It's coming, folks!!! Anyone else excited???

CONSTRUCT TUTORIAL - SPRINGY MOVEMENT (PART 2/2)

Let's keep going! We're going to make a flower bounce today, and we have a lot of work to do!

It's OK if I repost my Jack Black Bowser drawing for the #MarioMovie quest? Some people might have missed it!

Oh, and if you don't know what this drawing is referencing, click on Read Article for the link!

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?

A photo with Abacaxi, one of my dogs!

And, yes, we're both scraggly dudes.

Everybody talking about the Super Mario movie and here I am thinking how cool it would be if they made a movie out of THIS game...

HELLO EVERYONE! How are you doing this Monday?

Are you folks excited for this week? What are you planning to do?

I'd love to hear it in the comments!!!

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?
