just coded the classic Gauntlet exit animation for a new js game I'm helping make at the @hometeamgamedev community! always loved that spin and fade to black, it was like falling into a wormhole. I can almost hear the arcade sound effect #gamedev

Why do you make your own games? There are 3 main reasons I've seen people doing it, especially while starting out. Which best fits you? If the path you're on doesn't fit into any of these categories I'd be curious to hear about that, too!

New video on 3 main reasons I've seen beginners making their own games - to change their career, to develop the games they want to play, or general learning for fun and enrichment - including several points on how each might affect priorities and strategy: youtube.com/watch?v=wC9iZX…

we're working on a gauntlet-like at HomeTeam GameDev (formerly Gamkedo Club) right now! we need red warrior, green elf, blue wizard etc so I just setup a generic topview avatar that exports to spritesheets! time spent on a good workflow now will save tens of hours later. look how fun this is already!

created something cool today at HomeTeam GameDev (formerly Gamkedo Club)! blender project that displaces a cube-sphere (nice UV coords: no pinching at poles) via a noise modifier which uses the pos of an "empty" blender object as the "random seed", so you can move it around to generate infinite rocks

we're making a cool turn-based war strategy tactics game at HomeTeam GameDev (formerly Gamkedo Club) and it is slowly coming together! #gamedev #html5 today I implemented a tile highlight effect and drew some mountains

"greebling" is truly one of life's sweet pleasures. today on a @hometeamgamedev project I used a triplanar shader on random-sized cubes (UVs are world coords so no stretching) that I setup to be a kind of unreal terrain "foliage" lol! now we can mass-spraypaint them EVERYWHERE!

Our #gamedev podcast and our game development online practice program are still going strong (...27 remote team games released in 2020 on 2-6 month schedules, 28 in 2021, 35 in 2022, 25 in 2023, a bunch already this year) but we're in the process of moving fully to the other site
