New Games

Sudoku Junction

A little satire of capitalism and sudoku. I voice acted the frog, Tippy, which worked out really well. This won third place in the humor catagory for Ludum Dare 41. Fun fact, it doesn't really check if the sudokus are solved, but it's impossible to make rent even if you fill them out at breakneck speed.

Numberup - Hypercard Idle Clicker

As a kid we were lucky enough to have a mac plus with creative software like Hypercard and Photoshop 1. I was obsessed with the idea of making games but never got beyond linking cards together with buttons.

For the Hypercard Zine I decided to sit down and finally make a game. Hypertalk and the IDE are surprisingly intuitive, and I was able to find some scanned reference books on the Internet Archive.

The genre is a bit of an anachronism as those kinds of games hadn't been invented back then. As an idle game it plays pretty well, and is finishable in a few hours if you figure out which mechanic to lean on. I even ran out of named numbers and decided to invent a few:

My entry for this years Procjam was this little platformer about a ladybug.

Updates

A Procskater Android APK release with mobile touch controls.

Maintenance updates to unity-wave-function-collapse, mainly the upstream optimizations which make the overlap algorithm 20x faster.

Prototypes

VR Studio

Drawing simulation in VR. I think this would be fun with more art tools and a way to customize your studio and hang creations. Uses raycast scanlines to get the per pixel contact area of the pastel stick.

Daily Songs

I've done music in the past as soundtracks for my own games, but this year I got a new midi keyboard and decided to do daily songs. The full playlist is on soundcloud. Here's some of my favorites:

Sculpting

This is the year I finally sat down and learned ZBrush, which I'd been wanting to do for ages. IMO it's really the best way to push around vertexes and I really took my anatomy to a new level (at least from the neck up)
