Very interesting revisiting #love2d and #fennel after working on some other games with #DragonRuby. I feel like I understand so much more! I think I implemented code in the few hours I've had the past three days that would've taken me an actual day a year ago.

I legit feel like I am actually better at making games.

My #lovejam2026 game idea is starting to come together. Once again, I'll be using #fennel to program it, starting from the excellent and convenient https://codeberg.org/alexjgriffith/min-love2d-fennel by @Alexjgriffith.

The theme is "counter."

I had some initial thoughts, but after saying "counter" out loud is enough different and somewhat wacky ways, I settled on a game about magic duels. You and your opponent each must balance casting and countering spells.

Oh, and today it dawned on me this would be a perfect project to learn and use @Luanti! That's an exciting revelation for me. #nibzgames #grocergame #luanti

One ideas today was that, with enough chaos, the compactors (there's one here for cardboard, and another for garbage) start talking to you when you deposit their respective items. They do *not* like each other. Garbage thinks cardboard is pretentious, picky, and entitled; cardboard thinks garbage is loud, obnoxious, uncultured, and braggadocios. Both *love* when you fees them their items. #nibzgames #grocergame

I picked up a part-time job at a local grocer, and every time I'm working in this store, all I can think of are different ways I'd make a video game about it. Having given it some thought, my current framework is a mix of mini games (ex: stocking tomatoes), liminal spaces (ex: the hallway behind the deli where I'm surrounded on both sides by shelves of boxes), and fending off an invasion from another dimension through establishing order against the invading chaos. #gamedev #nibzgames #grocergame
