Trying to finish my submission to the #love2d 2025 jam. For the theme of 'plan', I've made a game about answering timed emails (typing game style) where you have a calendar and a file browser to find the correct info to respond with. But, it's a bit flat rn.
The idea was the 'fun' would come from the panic of trying to find all the correct info (and type it) in time while being bombarded with new emails. I'm *sure* it can work, but keeping to the jam time limit is going to be hard.
Progress on my Civilization simulator. The map knows where roads and irrigation are and is able to connect the roads. And by the sweat of my brow, the units finally understand when they can move or do something. Because it's not obvious to them that irrigation takes three turns and roads just 2.

Day 5 of #lovejam2025 and I have a first working loop of the dungeon crawler planning game I am developing.
Time to get working on some art!
Testing the three different types of tilesets (samegame, extended samegame, macigame) #marchintosh #macigame #samegame #sharkturtle #love2d
I just distributed my code of last Saturday plus some more, from one to 10 different files and now it's more readable and maintainable. Because the more files, it seems, the less complex.
I've finished writing v1 of my "Intro to Game Development for Teens" for the camp I'm teaching this week.
The instructions are available for free and after this week I will also be writing a free teacher's guide if anyone else wants to go over this with their class or kids or whatever else.
(It's "for teens" because you need knowledge of the x, y coordinate plane and the guide covers the distance formula.)

The first hour and a half of progress for my game. I'm planning on it to be a turn based simulation game about running the minutia in an ancient Mesopotamian civilisation.all it does not is have this grid and logic to have the AAA graphics move horizontally, vertically and most impressively, diagonally (with my programmer art and historian math involved) #ScreenshotSaturday #Love2d
Feels good to have the systems in place so that adding a new feature like this is just a few lines of code #aquaplane #love2d #indiedev #gamedev #moses
Spent yesterday afternoon fixing an issue with #aquaplane controls, somehow messed up a source control merge, decided to start again ...then realised I hadn't committed my changes for a while so had to do the work on that branch again. #gamedev #indiedev #love2d #sourcecontrol
Damn. This game has the vibes. #aquaplane #love2d #shmup #gamedev #indiedev

Today #aquaplane weighs 1000 lines of code. It's neat cute code and I'm kinda sad to break the barrier. The shader is an extra 100 lines of code. I've not done any real optimisation so far. Also: check out the bullet power-ups in the video! #love2d #shader #gamedev #indiedev
In the last two weeks, I made a computer adaptation of the historic #BoardGame The Landlord’s Game (which is #PublicDomain). It is the predecessor of #Monopoly.
It is clunky and ugly, but it almost works. This is the first time I used #LÖVE, and it shows. 
The game logic is surprisingly complex with many obscure features.
(read the README otherwise you won't understand a thing)
Another year, another entry for the annual Games for Blind Gamers game jam - this year, I spent time making a template for LÖVE / Love2d games to tap into the browser's screen reader support. It was super fun to build, and great to have participated and learn more about making accessible experiences.
Time to retire the ellipse, so we now have the eponymous Aquaplane! Also added a custom font. All measurements are screen-relative so things *should* scale well to different screen sizes without much effort. #aquaplane #love2d #screenshotsaturday
The remake of Ascent from #pico8 to #love2D made it possible to keep the pico8 aesthetics but boost the VFX as well as doubling the game world!
Wishlist on Steam

To celebrate valentine's day this month, I made a two-player dice battle game with the LÖVE framework using #WindsurfIDE. Lessons, devlog, and links to repo: https://thewholefounder.substack.com/p/dice-battle-game-prototype-with-love

This is my third game with #PixelArt houses with a roof, but I made them much cleaner than the previous ones (and I made it so you can see the top rim thingy and the back tiles).
Hmm. I don't know how how to handle that rim with complex house shapes with the current simple autotiling system. Guess I'll just put chimneys at the intersections.

I have been working on my #indie retro boat driving game with steady progress. And yes, we have graphics! https://ambience.sk/devlog-2-we-have-graphics/
