This game has still been on my mind. Still suffering a catastrophic game dev burnout. But I had a concept for a prehistoric/dino level in my head. I made a test song for it as a musical challenge (may not be in the game). Mostly for fun.

That's absolutely wild. 3 solo games and one collab later, here I am. Glad to make GameJolt my home!

Made it a rotatation hotkey and heavily simplifed the code, jank be gone. Feels pretty smooth now. This translates really well to controller too. Could be replaced by a button later.

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

Finished up the update for my aquarium simulation game. Manage many different exotic and occult fish species in your own personal tank. It also includes a breeding and genetic system. Play for free on the web here at GameJolt!

I'm currently still conjuring this idea, but it's essentially half underwater, half mechanical/industrial, made a dome and some pipes which you'll use to travel to different domes.

merged my sims build mode thingy with my A* test. Really cool to see the two systems interact very well together. There's probably some edge cases but I'm pretty happy with this.

Working on the wall jank, they actually connect now, editor colors work correctly, camera has different angles and views. I'm calling it good enough for now. Reminds me of building random houses that make no logical sense in the sims as a kid.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.
