Olá, Fediverso!
Sou programadora e #gamedev generalista.

Em 2025 dirigi dois jogos e atualmente me preparo para desenvolver um projeto mais sério em 2026.

Tô no fediverso desde 2022 mas usar redes sociais nunca foi um hábito, não vejo muita graça, mas espero conseguir compartilhar mais coisas dessa vez.

A couple of things I've been working on:
- Background with moving stars and planets
- Changed Warp icon + SFX and VFX
- Stats as icons with counter

Been starting a habit of writing down story/game ideas as I have them even though most of them will never seriously get started, let alone finished. It's been fun since writing things down gives me a chance to think them through a bit more than just pondering them in my head. Anyways, here's a #GameDesign idea:

"Grand" - is a "reverse metroidvania" in which as a grandparent, you slowly lose movement options as the story progresses, requiring more and more convoluted routes through the map to reach the same areas. You do still explore "new" areas in memory mode (and unlock movement options like a bike in your memories) before traversing the areas again in the diegetic present. The story follows your quest to protect a grandchild from the machinations of a Kafkaesque state, first trying to track them down within the system and then trying to get them released. Each "boss" is "fought" through an abstracted conversation system where memories, keepsakes, and various kinds of emotional/logical appeals wear down your opponent's nihilism and/or fear until they're willing to help you. Normal "enemies" are just people on the street who might bump into you and drain some of your stamina as you pass by if you don't issue a properly-timed "excuse me" or the like.

[P] So I still stand by my assessment that those who do this are narcissists who aren't good enough to be speed-runners. Thus, to devs, I'll repeat a prior message: Don't go out of your way to appease the... How did Fallout Boy put it? Ah, yes. The omegalomaniacs. Don't serve them at the cost of others. It's inclusive to have a granular dearth of visual UI options, sound options, and difficulty settings to be inclusive. You'll sell more games!

[P] It's funny. I could see how speed-runners could be tribal, gatekeeping dicks, but for the vast majority, they aren't. I din't know why. Is it something to do with the lack of cheevos and awards? How it's an understated way to be good at games without hordes of fans blowing smoke up one's arse (less social reward)? I dunno. But from what I've seen? I've never witnessed a speed-runner gatekeeping difficulty options to ruin fun.

[P] TmI mean, I've spoken before about how speed-running leaderboards have a lot of different types, not just for skill level, but type of skill. There's a lot of diversity. It popped into my head as I was looking at some randomisers made by certain glitch% runners and, well, I was surprised and delighted by the dearth and granularity of difficulty settings. It felt sincerely inclusive in ways that games which appeal to gatekeepers don't.

[P] I stand by what I said before about speed-runners being really cool people. When they came up b3for3, it 3as basically to point out that anyone who didn't want an easier mode in a video game fkr disabled people was a prick who wanted to gatekeep a game they're decent at, while not being remotely good enough to be a speed-runner. Because a speed-runner makes their own difficulty and isn't a prick about it. They don't want to ruin your fun.

At the start of 2025 we opened our #interviews page and four #creators shared insights, with the results available here:
http://musicgames.wikidot.com/hub:source

With the start of the new year, there will be another run of interviews, for another set of four or more.

Are you creating at the #music/#game intersection? Would you like to give an interview?

Or maybe you can appoint a potential interviewee?

I’m excited to share a quick look at our second game mode: Chase Mode, working both on-device and inside Unity 6.4.

In Chase Mode, every time you place a shape, a moving target travels to a new random spot on the grid. If the target is sitting in a row, column, or sub-grid that you clear with your move, you catch it.

Every color, shape, and interaction in TaleMakers was designed with one goal: joyful, inclusive storytelling for every child. Here’s how we built it. ✨
