- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)thread of game concepts that I've worked on that keep me up at night on how I should revisit them. 1/? first one is Vault-former, this one went viral for me, but it left me uninspired
- couple months ago I got inspired by Unfair Flips and tried to make a dice auto-battler game of sorts. then had to deal with health issues and forgot about it. #gamedev

- made another free #Construct3 addon over the week! wanted to add a simple way to add Abilities + manage cooldowns, stack-based charges, and custom data without complex setup. also while making it realised how really versatile it is! I present - SIMPLE ABILITIES - www.construct.net/en/make-game...
- heck I just wanted to make implementing stuff like mutation from Nuclear throne really easy, ended up making it so versatile that it would even be useful for a quest system! initially just wanted to cut down on rewriting a bunch boilerplate code
- FORGOT TO MENTION IT IS FREE!
- if I had the money, would have continued working on this game idea, Slay the Spire if the actions where dictated by standing on a board tiles. getting hit by the attacks meant your party got hit.
- had a almost playable build of it too. with being able to procedurally create the board and adding obstacles + other fun stuff. 🥹
- someone give me money to make this game pls. k thanks.
- made another #construct3 addon! the WeaponKit addon! it was meant to be a simple and it ended up ballooning in complexity!😵💫 handles shooter mechanics: firing modes (single/auto/burst), four reload types, ammo management, and fire rate cooldowns. it is free! www.construct.net/en/make-game...
- started making the addon to support an old project that I was trying to revive in a new way.
- which previously looked like this!
- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)New video on my second channel! I talk about the difference I see between game feel and game juice. Hope you'll enjoy! Watch it on YT 👇 youtu.be/_3WKEQD6yyY
- I have to get the average playtime duration to 6min+... yeah its not gonna happen. RIP
- flipping balls for an attentive audience #gamedev
- learnt how to make addons for #construct3 and made 2 addons - Simple Health (www.construct.net/en/make-game...) - Simple Spring (www.construct.net/en/make-game...)
- oh crap forgot I had something on while recording this originally! gaddamn
- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)The more I talk about my projects, the less likely they are to come out 👆
- spending more time learning Godot again.
- created enough personal game projects where I wasn't designing the project around my interests, so I can definitively say... that shit eats you up and leaves you creatively lost if you are in it deep enough
- to cheer myself up, added a little treat where you can roll the mouse over the flowers to fluff them about. finished making this game already, now its just polish.
- did more polish by adding whole cosmetics to the game and juicing that to high heaven. #gamedev
- Ended up in the hospital multiple times due to stress and developing a chronic illness this year from getting multiple job offers dangled in my face that turned into nothing and being owed multiple months of pay. hope next year is better 🙏

- it's easy coming up with unique mechanics, the hard part is coming up with a compelling fantasy that would make people give you a second glance. another Topdown Stealth game?🙄 you're a mom that's trying to eat her favourite snacks without your kids asking for all of it?? 🧐
- how does someone find a suspiciously wealthy patron that funds people to make games just cuz they can? I'm asking for a friend...
- flipping balls for an attentive audience #gamedev
- it's cool and all that folks liked this, just hope this damn game makes enough money so I can survive properly without sacrificing my health

- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)our game No Players Online is coming out in a month from now on November 6th! :) (exactly one years since the original game!!)
- awhile back for a game design test for a job I was tasked with making a game with Pinball as a theme. so I tried to make Pinball-(hotline)Miami
- had a lot of fun trying to figure out ways to make the game sound absurd as possible if you were to describe it.
- to speed up level design i had made a bunch of "chunks" to quickly assemble levels since I was jamming it out very quickly, it was a lot of fun + was nice way to refresh my unity knowledge

In exchange for 50% of your profits we'll let you put our name on the Publisher field in Steam.
- I love learning about everyone's hobbies , culture and languages, it's so useful for localising ragebait to all my international homies.
- the absurdity of it all has got me crying laughing, how do you strip something of all its meaning and consequences so hard like this and call it COZY or WHOLESOME LMFAO do words have any meaning to them anymore hahahahhahahahahhahah
- still cracks me up everytime I get a new comment notification from someone falling for the treasure chest teleport trap
- been using chromatic aberration as an alternative to screenshakes by just offsetting the RGB values towards a set direction and distance which just gets lerped back. feel like it achieves a similar feeling of intensity without taking away visiblity too much? thoughts? #gamedev
- btw this is just really zoomed in to make it easier to show the example usage
- still surprised how chromatic aberration ended up working as a alternative to screenshakes in my projects as of late.
- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

- Reposted by Salman Shurie (recovering HP mode 😵💫)feel like I had a galaxy brain moment while working on art direction #pixelart
- Playtime Duration being the core KPI for whether a game will be able to keep a studio alive is causing so much potential in projects to be drowned out due to so many deriviative games with little to no innovation being pushed cuz they had market validation first instead of the other getting a chance
- I'm a little salty, canceled multiple projects due to a lot of factors related to this 😭
