Beim Linux Game Jam 2023 gab und gibt es viele gute Beiträge aber einige haben mir besonders gut gefallen.

So gut, dass ich mich wahrhaftig dazu habe hinreißen lassen vereinzelt aufmunternde Kommentare zu hinterlassen ... denn woher sollen die Devs denn wissen, dass es Menschen da draußen gibt, denen ihr Spiel gefällt, wenn man es ihnen nicht sagt?

Ich hoffe man freut sich über die netten Worte.

You may have noticed that (contrary to my previous announcement) I did *not* submit a game to the . Ran into some nasty last minute issues and didn’t make it in time. 🙁

So I might as well give it some more time in the oven now and brush away some of its rough edges. Which – knowing me – probably means it will never get a proper release... 😅

Anyways, here’s another screenshot.

Well, @MichaelBrune has followed, and about all I know is they participated in and have a completed project. I tried, but only got 1 day of work in, and most of that day was trying to do something in one way, only to decide to eventually give up on that approach, and switch to a different approach and not even fully get that to the state I should have had (there are probably known bugs).

Just to be sure I checked the submission deadline for the again – and learned that it has been extended by 24 hours. 😮

Don't know the reasons, but it's very much appreciated! 😅 Think I'd have made it (barely!) in time, but with all that extra time it will be a lot more relaxed.

So, in other words: I'll release a lil' game tomorrow evening! 😁

I just submitted my 2023 Linux game jam entry at underflow-studios.itch.io/term which is an attempt at recreating the 1986 ARPANET environment and retelling the Clifford Stoll book The Cuckoo's Egg.

It's completely open source using the 0 clause BSD license (public domain.) using Godot 4.

It's been exciting and a struggle. I want to thank @Cheeseness for hosting and encouraging my work not only through this game jam but throughout the years

The is nearing its conclusion. I spent most of the day hunting for PICO-8 tokens. Over 200 reclaimed; here's my Dev Log for Day 8

Of the 226 reclaimed tokens, 194 were used to create 2 new mini-games. Here are clips of them in action.

It is , and Antsy Alien Attack Pico is taking shape. Here's today's Dev Log:

🪵 itch.io/post/7899146

Not all ideas and good ideas. Some game mechanics have been removed as playtesters said they didn't add anything to the game. That made space for a new mini-game: Cargo Run. Here is that mini-game and a clip of "ghostly" aliens when the weapons jammer power-up is active:

Day 6 of was focused on incorporating improvements based on the excellent playtesting feedback I'm getting 🙇 This included improving communication with the player, and having the game teach new players how to play. Here's the Antsy Alien Attack Pico Dev Log for the day:

5 Zones are now available, with progressive difficulty, distinct mini-games and between 6 and 8 objectives. And here are some examples of how the on-screen messaging has evolved.

A large slice of my time today was spent PICO-8 token hunting 🔍️ 245 were reclaimed and immediately burned to add player pickups 🔥 Thanks to my crack team of playtesters, a whole bunch of tweaks and improvements were made. Here's the player pickups in action with an artificial drop rate

My win/fail states seem to be working on my entry. Looks like I just need to polish it and I'll have a short, sweet game finished.
