Just catching up on the #replit #TutorialJam and holy fricken heck knuckles I came second!!!
I won actual cash! I'm so chuffed ☺️ #FlappyBrickForever #pygamezero @pygame
#TutorialJam
Something good happened! 31 people made #TutorialJam games. There are some brand new games and even more game developers in the world now. Hooray!
Play their games!
A nice thing about finishing a game for #TutorialJam is that it means I've cleared the "set up my itch.io for uploading games" hassle hurdle. Now I can make games for the future.
Also, I discovered (was reminded?) that I really enjoy filling in the metadata. 😄
My #TutorialJam game is FINISHED!

Music by Gruber of grubermusic.com!
Packbat's #TutorialJam finished! https://packbat.itch.io/recolored-platforms
(Well, sort of finished. It has a weird bug that I would like to have fixed, but I don't understand well enough to know how to. Still plays, just ... part of the game mechanics don't function.)
Jam page is https://itch.io/jam/tutorial-jam if you want to check out the other games. 😄
Instead of sleeping in, I worked on my #TutorialJam game some more 😓
It's more interesting and challenging!
In other words: The ball has a random vector and it speeds up!
Also, new UI!
My results for Day 1 of the #TutorialJam (I probably spent <4 hours on this, because of reasons)

Based on the squashy tutorial from this zine: https://sectordub.itch.io/pico-8-fanzine-1
I have realized that, in addition to "Save" and "Save As...", I really want "Save and Move...".
That is: "open the directory select dialogue box and allow it to select a new directory and filename, then move the unsaved file to that new location and filename before saving changes to it".
Signed, a #tutorialJam participant who only just created zir "game dev" folder and did not realize until now that project files should be in a subfolder.
Have you never made a game, but always wanted to?
Are you new to game development?
Are you intimidated by the big gap between starting to learn how to make a game, and creating something tangible and unique?

welp, fuck
guess I'm doing #TutorialJam
this'll be interesting, in the sense that all failure is interesting
(but I will fail, I don't even question that)
in the meantime, analysis and practice in OW and some time in [REDACTED] (which I picked up recently and has been strangely hard to stop sometimes) and I *really* have to redesign both my bases in Fortnite to account for my better understanding of basic construction principles in the setting
Okay I guess we're doing this!
