Making a game for #GGJ? Focus on "Juicy" mechanics over complex systems.
​Concept: Bubble maze
​The Player: A bubble.
​The Plan: Use floaty, physics-based wind forces (WASD/Mouse)
​The Logic: High bounciness + a dramatic particle effect "Pop!" on collision.
​Fri: Create physics-based wind movement (WASD/Mouse).
Sat: Add hazards and "Pop" logic with big particle effects.
Sun: Finally polish bounciness and shaders.
The Goal: High juice, low complexity. Make every collision feel dramatic!

According to my profile, I've participated in 14 Global Game Jams, and 7 of those have produced playable NES games. :D Someone told me that must be a record... and I suppose it's probably true!

The rest included a game made in Obj-C/GL, one in Cocos2D, one with raw JS, one in Pico 8, and 3 in Unity.

Over the weekend I took part in Global Game Jam with 3 friends and we made a game where you are a roll of masking tape.

You roll around trying to tape priceless artifacts back together, and your score is how much money you owe the museum.

Been thinking about taking the tooling I built for unnamed gas station (my #GGJ entry) and packaging it into a #godot plugin.

I want more people to make disco-like games (in reference to #DiscoElysium ) and this tooling would definitely make it a lot easier to do so.

My #GGJ entry! Might add more content later, as the thing feels pretty barren at the moment. It's damn fun to write for, but I'm exhausted after pulling an all-nighter for this thing.
