inversion of the idle genre would be to make a game where you micromanage absolutely everything. it's a turn-based simulation game and if you don't instruct a character to breathe during their turn they just die
always interesting when i see a french person online engaged in the traditional french art of webcomic blogging. other artists occasionally indulge in this too (hourly comics etc) but drawing regular webcomics about your life has been enduringly endemic to France since at least 2003. i was there
visiting florida for the first time was a period of constant wonderment for me. people here really drink sarsaparilla? like from the smurfs?
one day i'll put some plain french bakery or perhaps a café in one of my games and someone somewhere will go "holy shit. holy shit,"
part of why we need diversity in game development btw. one person's unremarkable everyday life can be another's "whoah this worldbuilding is insane"
hey i made this in 2 days for april fool's. check it out

make the fire dog bipedal on its first evo. next evo remove the legs entirely
probably not a controversial opinion but my favorite game by far in UFO50 was Mini & Max. go my mold spore
you've got such nice colors going on this
guy who pronounces onion like orion
simply uninterested in a castlevania game that's not pixel art. sorry
don't trust anything they call "centaurs" in a horror setting it's always some fucked up shit
that's so cool!! always got Donjon vibes from it but didn't know there was an actual connection
i think whatever replaces Discord should let us move little avatars around. this has nothing to do with my "bring physicality to social media" agenda i just think it'd be a good rational sensible thing to have. oh yeah and give them little pixel art outfits & items too (my breath gets heavier,)
oh yeah fuck ICE
the call of microsyntaxes everywhere grows ever louder
a while back i used a bracketed substitution system fairly close to yours to make a universe generator! later on i refined the syntax to make a random generator maker:

Cookie Clicker shirt featuring the grandma from the game in her evil demonic form, touching a chocolate chip cookie with her gnaerled finger. There's a Wrinkler (tiny leech-like creatures) on her shoulder and in front of her. White text reads "You could have stopped it." In red 80's slasher style writing it says "Cookie Clicker" at the bottom
they asked me to design a Cookie Clicker shirt. I said are you sure??

i really really do not believe everything should be an electron app, especially not OS elements. leave javascript to us freaks we know the evil we're dealing with
This is is getting kids hooked thru gambling mechanics. These are all the same tricks used by online gambling. Coded for kids.
Its fucking the grossest thing. It makes me be ashamed to be in the same industry.
Burn it with fire.

we lost our way when disk space started allowing for fully-voiced game protagonists. the only things i want to hear out of my character's mouth is "uhmf" (jumping) or "oueurghh" (mauled by bear)
animation seems hard i deadass can't tell the difference
if you're in Europe PLEASE consider signing the Stop Destroying Games initiative. the deadline is July 31st 2025. it aims to create legislation for publishers to stop killing the games you pay for and to provide an end-of-life plan for live-service products. thanks!
