I'm building a mad-libs style deduction game for my Secret Santa Jam game and I've actually built out a decent system for managing the level scenes and puzzle data for once. Here's to hoping the rest comes together by the deadline🀞

Today is the start of Secret Santa Jam! I can't share what kind of game I'm developing because it might spoil it for my Secret Santa but I've already got a concept I think they're going to like πŸ‘€

You don’t even need a box cutter to do this. Just invite a bunch of young kids over and they will flatten your game boxes themselves by accidentally sitting on them

New: The market for Counter-Strike skins fell $1.75 billion overnight -- that's 25%.

Investors dumped money into the digital item market amid concerns about the S&P 500 and crypto. Then, last night, Valve pushed a market-breaking update to the game

Hey wanna see some cool experimental clicker / idle / incremental games?

Last month for the final project in my 'economics for game designers' class at @nyugamecenter.bsky.social, students made some *incredible* incremental games, so I wanted to do a thread showing off their work!

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions β€” some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

A very admirable attempt! There are so many lovely details in this like the smooth camera movement and hand-drawn art. Excited to play it

This game was made in 72 hours by me (art), Erica (music), and the incredible Billy Monks (programming) for #LDJam. We'd love a rating/review if you're part of the Ludum Dare community: ldjam.com/events/ludum...
