Game Making Tools is a few things, but mostly a wiki for amateur game/vidcon makerers.

Hey everyone. I haven't been on in ages, hope people are well.

I'm having a baby next week, so things are busy. Never expected to be a Dad, but here we go I guess  Not sure about the future of the Game Making Tools project, but the wiki gets plenty of visits, so it'll be staying up, just not sure I'll be adding to it much.

Moonlit Corpse is actually coming out!, I have the final submission on my Stinkpad waiting to be tested and all tied together

fedi people, I am trying to compile a resource on the current state of publishing nsfw games (not necessarily porn games, also games with content that is seen as sensitive) on different platforms (steam, itch, epic, gog etc.), including countermeasures, alternatives, and workarounds. For this I would appreciate any input from game devs (especially if your games have been banned/unlisted/shadowbanned) and players alike
(boosts highly appreciated)

Thanks to @neauoire for mentioning the Langjam Gamejam in their #DecemberAdventure log (i think that's where i saw it), I'm now excited for this upcoming 7-day challenge/jam to build a programming language and make a game in that language in the 1-week time period.

I have many other things "i should be doing" instead, but this will be fun and I think I'll do it. Not yet 100% sure, but i might implement a forth in lua again, and/or build on top of L5. I've also been meaning to write a BASIC interpreter, so we'll see if i pick one of these up and run with it.

A 7-day challenge to create a programming language and then use it to build a game.

I'm having an urge to make my own game creation system again. Absent the funds to hire Alexis for consulting, I'll need to get inspired myself.

Anyone want to brainstorm a no-code retro console game creation tool with me?

@mediaarchaeologylab That Dymo script font wheel was what inspired my Plastic Script typeface!
https://hex.xyz/Plastic_Script/

It was a fun challenge to make a connecting script typeface where every glyph occupies the same monospaced width.
