#ggj22 went great, since I actually finished and the result was better than I expected! my third solo SMW hack is The Duality of Mario globalgamejam.org/2022/games…
Submissions are up for this year's Portland Global Game Jam! Play the games at globalgamejam.org/2023/jam-s…, and tune in when we showcase them during our stream on February 11.
Bet you can't guess the theme based on the game titles 😂
it only took 10 years, but I finally got around to building these display boxes for my full set of #Spelunky figures! full album here: imgur.com/gallery/HyArMFm which includes lots of photos from the build. thanks @mossmouth for the incredible game that inspired this!
Saturday night means Romhack Races, and a brand new level from AmazingChest!
Join us at 8 p.m. EDT at twitch.tv/romhackraces for the fun (and tune in early for a special teaser...)!
Finally finished the post-jam version of my entry for #ggj21, "4 YUMPs For Yoshi", a short kaizo smw romhack. It turned out MUCH better than my first romhack for last year's GGJ. 2021 > 2020 confirmed: smwcentral.net/?p=section&a=…
9 months ago I started and yesterday I finally beat Grand Poo World 2 (100%). Bowser took almost 30 hours, but it was an incredible fight. GPW2 was my first exposure to Kaizo and I never thought I'd actually beat it some day. Thanks to @DKBarbariantwitch.tv/videos/742415801?c…
I remember getting to play a preview of Spelunky at GDC 2012 for the first time and not leaving the set-up for hours because I was having too much fun. I knew it was going to be one of my favorite games, and now over 8 years later I get to embark on a new one. Congrats @mossmouth
Woke up to @Linkdeadx2 (creator of Super Panga World and prolific Twitch singer) playing my #globalgamejam2020 game and first ever rom hack on stream: twitch.tv/videos/547235608?t… He destroyed it in record time. There were no records previously but still impressive!
Back in June of last year I labored for an entire month to make my first kaizo level in Lunar Magic. After that I never would have thought that my first completed hack would be made in less than 48 hours, but here we are 😅 globalgamejam.org/2020/games…#globalgamejam2020
Discovered a game-breaking bug that prevented you from beating the game (oh boy!) so I just updated the file to fix that. Getting soft-locked right before the boss was kind of funny though.
1. This is a really fun exercise!
2. If you're an indie dev making your first pixel art platformer or Metroidvania, consider that smooth animations are insanely time-intensive and much less important than overall art style to potential players. And SMW still looks beautiful imo!
