The stream schedule for this week! This week is mostly progress on a game for the #honestjam and then a run through Replicat by @brainoid.bsky.social (featuring votes where you can toggle various shaders to mess with me. e.g. turning the screen into a dvd logo that bounces around)

Field of Heroes is a 5v5 soccer game so I will have a lobby open for anyone to join in and play as well
variety of twitch emotes. Two emotes with ants holding shovels, a pterodactyl drinking water, a shocked and blushing girl, a girl looking through a magnifying lens an a smug otter with a crown
A variety of emotes including: a smug looking duck, a corgi with a post it on its face with "dum" on it, a worried looking catgirl, a smiling angel, and a kobold pointing a gun at the viewer
Emote commissions for @ategon.dev
Uploaded Floodworks to Newgrounds in addition to it being on itch. Gives another spot to play the game when itch has downtime or for people that prefer Newgrounds. Should be doing the same for all future post jam updates I make

An image of the site with my profile picture, text that says "Indie Game Developer" and then links to various socials
Made some updates to my personal site to make it a landing page with all of my socials so I can start linking it everywhere as the main call to action instead of having various links.
Includes links to platforms related to my gamedev, music, and game videos.

Changes are mostly misc QoL things that were requested such as camera panning, an indicator for when theres an issue with a building, the ability to destroy buildings, etc.
Pushed an updated version of one of the jam games I made last year. Its a game where you need to build up a city to produce enough food and water for your population as the water levels are rising and flooding your city.

Working on some post jam builds for various jam games I made to clear out my backlog before I start working on new projects. Should be getting my first updated one out this week and here's an updated thumbnail I made for it

I am jelly this is not my spinning fish emote. I might make a spinning lumpfish for myself. *ponders*

If you'd like to commission me for your emotes, please check my Vgen! (*แดหฌแด)โพโพโพ vgen.co/Rincs
Did some work to add achievements to the d2jam site. Had them in before the jam and just pushed a couple more changes to improve the visuals.
They work by players self reporting completion and based on the amount of people that have gotten an achievement it is assigned a rarity.
#GameJam #D2Jam
Been working on some more features for d2jam.com. Ill be doing some posts showing off new features I added to the site in the lead up to the jam (which starts Sep 5th)
The first new feature is the addition of a localization system for people to browse the site in other languages
#GameJam #D2Jam
Day 2 progress on my #GMTKjam snake game
Got most of the base systems in now. Day 3 should be adding in a lot of the combat and adding content to the larger zones past the starting area
#gamedev #gamejam
Day 1 progress on a jam game for the #GMTKjam
Working on a snake-like game but instead of eating things directly you would loop around them to collect them. Looping mechanic still pending creation though
#gamedev #gamejam
My game just dropped and 10% of all profits will go to the Godot Foundation! #godot #gamedev #indiegames

Made some pixel art designs for a r/place type canvas event! One for programming.dev and one for #d2jam. Both include smaller designs (for d2jam games from the jam, and p.d communities on the site). For anyone interested the event starts in around an hour at canvas.fediverse.events
#pixelart
Also added in a basic search system and some navbar improvements (with the navbar visible in the image above)
Back from finishing up uni + chilling for a couple months and going to start trying to ramp up posts again. Ill probably be starting with a few every week or something and eventually get back up to the daily posts
Been doing some work on a splash page for @d2jam.com recently
#GameJam #D2Jam
We are less than 2 hours away from the start of this Jam!
You are still in time to join!

There are teams searching for artists currently, so even if you are not a gamedev,but you have other art skills, come join the fun!
#gamedev #gamejam #art
Been getting a bunch of work for uni lately (hence the no posts) but that should clear up in a couple months and then I can start having a proper post schedule again
Did some work on d2jam.com again recently to add in the Theme Elimination system & some visual improvements
#GameJam #D2Jam
The d2jam site with a drawer open on the right with the post title author and content (for a post that was just clicked on)
The featured streams section showing a stream thumbnail with viewer count relative tags and arrows to navigate to previous and next featured streams
Another daily d2jam.com update. Today I worked on post previews and updating the visuals of the featured streamers area.
Post previews let you see the content of the post without needing to navigate off of the page (by opening it up in a drawer). Useful for compact post styles.

An example of a user profile that has an image uploaded to it
An example route after my changes to clean it up. Theres rate limit middleware, middleware to authenticate the user and then get user info from the database, and then the function to delete the user (since its the /user DELETE route)
Pushed an update to add image uploading support to https://d2jam.com
Used for adding images to all of the text editors (e.g. post creation) and for uploading profile pictures and banners.Also spent a bit improving the backend structure to make it cleaner and easier to maintain
#GameJam #D2Jam
Pushed an update to https://d2jam.com
Added more options to the settings page (ability to change your name, banner image, and bio) and added some image previews for the profile picture and banner image
Also started on a profile page to see information about someone

Hello fellow game developers, the Down2Jam team are here with a community newsletter! For those who don't know, The D2Jam organizers are a group of like-minded game-jam enjoyers, who've been brewing their own game jam ideas over the last year. We desired a jam which had an emphasis on community, since the community aspect of other jams is what brought many of us together in the first place. We wanted a jam which celebrated post-submission events, encouraged discourse and reflection, and provided tools for developers to find and share games. When the shadow of uncertainty was cast upon Ludum Dare in 2025, we realized it was time to translate the past year of discussions and ideas into actions. This newsletter plans to bring you up to date with the most recent developments from the D2Jam team. With all of the following, we'd love to get your feedback and thoughts on. With the formalities out of the way, lets get to it! Our first jam date will be... March 21s 2025 - 21:00 UTC
Introducing the first edition of D2Jam happening on March 21st!
We wanted a jam which celebrated post-submission events, encouraged discourse and reflection, and provided tools for developers to find and share games

Finished and submitted my entry for the Pirate Software Jam! Really happy with how it turned out
Link is here: ategon.itch.io/bit-slayer for anyone who wants to play it
Ill be doing a stream around 7pm EST playing other peoples entries on my twitch twitch.tv/ategondev
#PirateJam #Gamedev
Another game jam update. Instead of working on UI like I should be doing I added in some more types of enemies (slimes, bosses, and things jumping up from the bottom of the screen)
#PirateJam #Gamedev
More game jam game progress. Added in powerups, a combo system, and a death system
Also have some other misc polish everywhere like the text that appears at the top. Next up would be to add in a main menu, death screen + leaderboard system
#PirateJam #Gamedev
Working on a game for the pirate software jam + stream team jam real quick before those end. This is the current progress of 8 hours
Ive managed to make it impossible to record a video without the bitrate being demolished. And this is only half the planned post processing
