Wednesday game dev stream in a few minutes! Thinking I might explore procedural generation for my Pikmin-inspired #pico8 game, Moonbreak. - Twitch: twitch.tv/kevinmakesgames - YouTube: youtube.com/@kevinmakesgam…
I love thinking about games for game jams weekly, but my schedule doesn’t make completing games weekly very realistic.
Announcing the start of our full course of #pico8 #gamedev lessons! It's free thanks to our generous sponsors on ko-fi. Many want to learn PICO-8 but can't afford it let alone a paid course. So our videos will keep Education Edition learners in mind. youtube.com/shorts/ZmkEqml…
Do you think Ke$ha still wakes up feeling like P. Diddy?
Yesterday I wanted to read a bunch of game design articles, but I had other work I needed to be doing. I wanted them narrated to me in the background and I didn’t want to pay for some AI narration subscription service. kevinthompson.info/blog/convertin…
I ended up starting an entry for the @PursuingPixels game jam (itch.io/jam/pursuing-p…) in #pico8 on my stream this evening. The theme is “Parallel”. I have a little two player game started and I like where it’s going so far. Going to keep tinkering on it this week.
Starting my regular Wednesday game development stream in a few minutes. Today I'll be looking at a few game jams and exploring prototypes for them in #pico8. - Twitch: twitch.tv/kevinmakesgames - YouTube: youtube.com/@kevinmakesgam…
Going to stream a little #gamedev starting in a few minutes learning #GodotEngine. I’ll be live on Twitch (twitch.tv/kevinmakesgames) and Youtube (youtube.com/@kevinmakesgam…)!
Forgive the brief break from homebrew posts, but today is one of those "once every few years" days. The game I've been working on for the last few years was revealed and got to be the "one more thing" of the XBOX Showcase... Gears of War: E-Day! youtu.be/12m0bw1W_tk?si…
Still need to convert a few articles from my old blog and I eventually want to pages for some of my past projects, but my new portfolio site is live! kevinthompson.info
PICO-8 games are sometimes hard to find. So we took the top 1% rated games and added a powerful search tool with many filters to help you find the perfect games for you! It is now open to everyone! nerdyteachers.com/PICO-8/Games/ #pico8 #gamedev
Almost time for another Wednesday #gamedev stream! Today I want to explore developing something for #playdate. I’ll be learning live on Twitch (twitch.tv/@kevinmakesgam…) and YouTube (youtube.com/@kevinmakesgam…) in about 40 minutes!
About to stream more #pico8 development. No specific plans today, just going to be playing around in PICO-8. Live on twitch.tv/kevinmakesgames and youtube.com/@kevinmakesgam… in a few minutes
are you REALLY making a video game if your enemies don't go FLASHY FLASHY and spew out damage numbers when you shoot them? 😆💥 #gamedev #madewithunity
