With #FediJam nearing its deadline, I've been working on customization and accessibility options for my game. 🙂

Yes, it's a game jam, and this is one area of many where jam games typically cut quality corners to save dev time. But accessibility has kinda become part of my personal brand, so I don't want to skimp here.

It's a dexterity game, which won't appeal to everyone. But the goal is that anyone can at least try it.

The fan-made game Legend of Zelda: Dungeons of Infinity plays great on the steam deck!

Been wanting to play something like this for a long time. Lap cat agrees.

It feels like we haven't done a Future Proof Plays stream in a long-ass time, but we're back! Gregory is live playing John William Evelyn's "The Collage Atlas" over on Twitch, a game with art that seems to be entirely pen and ink. I'm a sucker for that aesthetic. I still think about The Mind's Eclipse regularly, and I played it years ago. Anyway, come hang out with us!

I've written a chunky post about my ideas and challenges I see for the design of the Liblast Framework.

The Liblast Project aims to build a framework for making FPS games and produce an FPS game called Liblast.

For all that to work, we need a lot of educated, forward-looking design decisions.

I am taking inspiration from the Quake/Source engine family, but also from Liblast legacy game and other work I've done.

Please chime in 😀

Today's our bi-weekly Future Proof Plays stream, and Gregory is playing Blackwood Crossing. It's turning out to be far more surreal and creepy than I expected, and it has CWs for grief, loss, sibling tension, and maybe jump scares? We aren't sure about the jump scares. Anyway, Gregory is very good at talking about game design, so come join us. 😻 https://twitch.tv/gregoryaveryweir/

simple:

A game made by one or multiple "independent developers" aka. neither access to resources nor funding by big publishers and/or developers.

Meaning <100 people (if we count in all bought-in assets and playtesters) may and usually <10 people (employed directly or indirectly) and a budget <€ 1M.

Anyhing above is #SmallStudio and not #IndieDev!


It's time for our biweekly indie game stream (although our schedule has been all over the place due to conflicts), and @gregoryaveryweir is playing the card-based RPG Black Book for the next couple of hours. It's bound to be good fodder for chatting about game design, so come join us! https://www.twitch.tv/gregoryaveryweir/ #IndieGame #FutureProofGames #IndieDev #twitch

Hey, I'm Kae (they/them)!

I'm a solo dev that works in Gamemaker, Aseprite and FLStudio. Working away at Project Harvest, a murder mystery adventure game. I love horror, monsters and dark tunes~ 🎵

#Introduction #Gamedev #Indiedev #PixelArt #GameMaker


“87% of games released before 2010 are no longer commercially available – and it’s a huge loss for the art form”

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2023/jul/12/pushing-buttons-playing-old-video-games

It’s a good reason to open source your games once their commercial long tail had expired.

I'm wondering, if more people play the Erra: Exordium on Steam Deck, will it affect the time game verified?

I'm trying to make Liblast playable in the browser, but I am having trouble configuring the site to provide required headers.

https://play.libla.st

I'm hosting using nginx.

Can anybody help me satisfy these secure context requirements?
