After 6 weeks of fiddling, my custom #cellular_automaton just crossed a major milestone: I built a fully functional S-R Latch with it.
This might be the last key component needed to prove it's #Turing_complete.

Feeling hyped. More updates (and logic gates!) coming soon.

@E_net4 Thanks for playing! Touch controls were kind of a list minute addition, so they are not well optimized, yet. Sorry for that. However, you should be able to pick up the key by clicking on it when the character next to it is selected. Let me know if you succeed.

Just finished my sokoban-style #puzzle #game for #githubgameoff jam. Push and engage with odd symbols and discover their secrets: liberabyte.itch.io/olesa #gamedev #pixelart #godotengine

@sourencho What a cool idea.

@0x0961h I thought maybe the level introduces too many mechanics at once. But I’ll need to do some playtesting.

Progress on my minimalist #puzzle prototype. 🧩 Do you think it might be too overwhelming?

My attempt at adding another color to the palette didn't seem to work. So here is my simplified #1bit interior design.

Minimalist interior design. Feedback is highly appreciated! #pixelart #gamedev

A couple weeks ago I completed the Diablo IV campaign as a gamer without sight, thanks to the blind accessibility features. Here's the entire Lilith fight, as well as chapters to skip to specific moments.

Climate change and day #55 of #Godot games using #GodotSteam rolls on! This time is Kargo by @liberabyte! Puzzle-solving, crate-grabbing, and flying through tunnels as fast as you can? Very cool. Plus there is a demo and works on Steam Deck! Check it out!

Kenney Game Assets All-in-1 has been updated to version 1.7.1 updating the preview images of 60 packs (!). Purchasing the bundle means you get thousands of #gameassets and you make sure I can keep making more assets!

Consider a purchase, and thus a donation - thanks!

@kenney Now that you mention it… I completely forgot. Will give these a try as well. Thanks!

Shoutout to @kenney for their amazing input prompts, which I converted to 1bit.

I've been working on a #1bit #pixelart settings menu - implemented with #godotengine

The main goal was to make every state as clear as possible.

Any suggestions?

My job is game.

An image from the Barbie movie of Ken. There is a Moos-a-dee logo face on top of Ken's face and the caption says "MY JOB IS GAME."

Quick Aseprite tip that I'm not sure if I shared before, but pressing CTRL+B on a selection will quickly create a brush of that selection. Great for quickly making patterns. ESC will return your brush back to normal.
