Infinitesimal Football

Thanks For Playing


I feel like first games are like first loves, they’ll always have a special place in your heart.

In the time since I put Infinitesimal Football out, I’ve grown substantially as a developer. I graduated from a web development bootcamp, learned how to maintain extensible codebases, to manage dependencies, to keep projects malleable and fun to work on. I’ve had opportunities to work with interesting people on interesting things, and embarked on a career as a frontend dev at a cool company.

But this game, with its myriad bugs and novice code, remains the project of which I’m most proud. I’d never worked so hard (and ineffectually) on anything. The lessons learned from making a silly game about high school football sparked a new passion, and imparted the foundational skill set to make a livelihood out of it.

There won’t be any more development on Infinitesimal Football. The code’s too messy, it’d be easier to just start over and build it anew. I still enjoy the premise/core mechanics, so maybe I will one day! But not anytime soon. I am happy to say, I’ve met some really talented devs who are similarly passionate about making games, and we’re currently working on a new one! I’ll keep everyone here posted on its development.

Thank you so much to everyone who played, who offered encouragement/support or lamented over the ~4373874328 bugs that never got fixed. Getting that feedback was instrumental in making me realize this is how I wanted to spend my time; talking to computers, making a thing, talking to people, making that thing better.

I worked so hard to get all four of them to the end safely, but then...

I made a small jungle house.

Hello my space friends! Now I added a space background to the ship. I love that space look but I still feel like stuff is missing. The lighting on the ship needs some improvements I think. Please tell me your opinion!

THANK YOU FOR 400 FOLLOWERS!!!
