owning a brewery is a dream of mine. it just seems like something that would sooth my soul. unfortunately the brewing business is in the shitter right now!

1 DAY LEFTΒ
to join Bel's Fanfare Kickstarter before its end
basic networking via @godotsteam.com set up.
ssh is an obscure but widely-deployed command. It stands for Secure Snake Home and was made in the 90s to securely play snake online
I made a massively multiplayer backend for it with support for thousands of concurrent snake players
ssh snakes.run to join!
a bit more fine tuned
decided the old texture on the ship was abysmal, so i made a quick metal panel shader.
finally getting around to throwing it all together. experimenting with some shaders. i like how this looks, but it feels a little too lethal company inspired.
it really is a disappointment. sonic has such neat character design, and the idea of blazing through these sprawling levels seems so fun.
but then i always found the level design so... meh? why am i punished for trying to have fun?
power cell, used for taking plants (ephemeral) and turning them into energy (can be stored indefinitely), which can then be used to do... things! π‘β‘
modeled a few power-related thingies. heres the biomass reactor in action.
yeah it's one of my favorite games of all time, i remember following it's development like, 7 years ago. there are so many small details, it's obvious the developers had a lot of passion!
infinite and identical*
the game is infinite to the left and right, scaling in difficulty iirc
if we merge virginia and west virginia, we can kiss goodbye to virginia being voted blue ever again
in 2024 harris won with only 51.6% of the popular votes
i really need to follow more people π΅βπ«
what a neat little representation, great job @theo.io!
A screenshot of a five-player board game called "Ozghard Chess" that features five color-coded sets of pieces, with only the green Central set having a king. This Central set also lacks a queen and pawns, but it has double the other pieces. An blue queen has just taken a red pawn. It's Central's move.

A screenshot of the "How To Play Ozghard Chess" dialog of a five-player board game called "Ozghard Chess" that features five color-coded sets of pieces, with only the green Central set having a king. This Central set also lacks a queen and pawns, but it has double the other pieces. This game is based on The Lasting Lands by Cliff Jones Jr. Gameplay is very similar to standard chess, where the aim of each player is to capture an opponentβs king. In Ozghard, however, there is only a single Central king. So while the Central player attempts to keep the king alive to the end, all other players compete to see who can be the first to capture the king. You can also play with no kings at all by disabling the Central player in Settings. In this case, your goal is to capture all your opponentsβ pieces. Pieces move by the same rules as in standard chess (indicated by highlighting potential moves when you select a piece), and captured pieces are worth the same point values: - pawn (β) = 1 - knight (β) = 3 - bishop (β) = 3 - rook (β) = 5 - queen (β) = 9 - king (β) = 100 When starting a new game, one of the five players is selected at random to move first. This can either be a human player, or if youβd like the selected color to be played by the computer, click βComputer Turnβ on their move. Unlike in standard chess, you may also choose βPass Turnβ anytime youβd like. This means that there is no checkmate or stalemate to end the game. If the king is unable to move, they simply pass and wait to be captured. If all five players pass in a row, the game ends in a draw. Ozghard strips away most of the special rules of standard chess. Castling is not possible, for example. And although pawns move in the same basic way, there is no en passant rule, and promotion is always to queen. There are also no limits on the number or repetition of moves. You can save the exact state of your current game to your system clipboard using the up-arrow βProgressβ button...

All right, folks, I think I'm about ready to release this one. I've decided to make games that are completely free and just hope people donate here and there. Let me know what you think!

fellow homebrewer! im making 4 gallons of cider right now, planning to flavor each gallon a bit differently. are you brewing anything?
spent some time today optimizing the ship placement algorithm. it takes less than 2 seconds to find a valid place to place the ship now.

after a year of development i finally added planting (deploying items) into the plant game!!!
an enemy im working on, the observer
made a basic growing animation for the prickleburn cactus.
this will be one of the plants in the ashen wastes. its fruits can be thrown as an incendiary grenade, or used to grow more prickleburn cactus!
a photo of a dimly lit bio room. its empty.
a photo of a garage. scaffolding sits above.
a photo of the side of the space ship from the outside. its paintjob is brown and black.
a photo of the exterior of the spaceship from an isometric view. its paintjob is a sickly green.
made a lot of progress on the ship. its got a proper interior now.
the inside consists of a computer room, a bio room, a freezer, and a garage.
