Been a while Bluesky! Was busy releasing this free instant handheld-like mobile #multiplayer #indiegame on #android and #ios 😁
#PocketPlayground is available today! Works great on tablets, with controllers, foldables and android gaming handhelds.

Three phones showing a work in progress game menu being tested during indie game development of a multiplayer mobile game.
When you're so immersed in the development of your game that it took many months to realize:
Hey... I didn't design a game menu, how are people going to quit? 😅

The @construct.net team just pushed an update to the engine, and I just want to say that there's a special place in heaven to whoever added the option for multiple preview and debug window ❤️
That just slashed 25% of the friction debugging my multiplayer game #PocketPlayground
#gamedev #gameengine
Making a multiplayer game equals watching a lot of fake players doing random things to ensure nothing breaks.

How is the new #Severance episode, with everything they finally showed and explained, give me more questions than answers... Start the countdown for next Thursday 9pm 😅
There's a lot of Lumon Computer inspired apps available for mobile, but they don't get the feel quite right. Is there a plan for an official app/game? A Lumon OS that could be explored and "hacked".
If not and we wanted to develop one, could we be in potential trouble? @benstiller.redhour.com
1) Remove automatic updates with restart, that makes you lose your work in the morning.
2) Stop any window from taking focus, so that you don't press enter on something you don't know.
3) Faster File Explorer performance, a 32 core machine should have to "load" my recent files.
4) Real search
Pocket Playground, launching in 2025.

It's baffling how the iPhone 16E has horrible value.
#iPhone16E, 900$ CAD
#Pixel8a, 680$ CAD
You get less cameras, half the brightness and half the screen fluidity for 220$ more.
And the 8a have a better AI, full multitasking and the cameras beat the iPhone 15 Pro in a photography blind test.
Balancing, balancing, balancing. Getting better at my own game in Survival Battle though 😄. 4 players multiplayer of this with items is going to be intense!
Having fun with the lighting, effects and particles.

I wouldn't recommend missing the platform and falling into a laser 😅 Survival Battle will be my favorite gamemode in #PocketPlayground for sure, but Coin Quest will be fun for more casual players!

Yeah, your audience needs that. My 90% female audience doesn't care about the constant bombardment of the latest tech.
They don't "like" tech, but what they can do with it. It's a 1,000$ purchase they keep for years; they want me to have it too and do that continuous testing and support.
That's why in 2022, we stopped accepting any device we don't keep. It's also not fair for the brands that "invests" in you and your content by giving you the device.
Late night testing of my latest build of #PocketPlayground. Basically supervising fake players doing random things across "three devices" and making sure it all works.
A stable sandbox is a fun sandbox 😁 @construct.net devtools and good ol' console!

I know how to code and I started learning @godotengine.org where GDScript is a good hybrid... but I've used @construct.net for so long and their visual scripting and documentation is just so pleasant that I'm still using it. Highly recommend it.
All I do at bycolorstorm.com are made in Construct.
Multiple development windows of the Construct game engine debug running an alpha of Pocket Playground behind a stack of phones and tablets used for multiplayer testing.
I made a fun prototype with @construct.net back in 2022 of an instant mobile multiplayer game. It's on track for this year 😁
I want to make playing with each other easier, even if it's for a quick 5 min, instead of everyone scrolling their feeds in silence.

ipad application game minitechno for kids and toddlers with a tech focused a to z book and coloring book
Hello Bluesky! I make tech videos, I'm a UX/UI Specialist, and a game developer!
Here's my recent work minitechno; an app, A to Z book and Coloring Book for kids.
Yes, kids should learn that K is for Kazaa and have a fun rhyme about how we used to pirate songs with it 😄

Good lord...
