We're halfway through - how #GamedevJS Jam 2026 is going for you so far? I do hope you already have a working prototype that only needs a bit of polishing and more content. We already have some cool games submitted already:

blender metaballs howto:
modelling with metaballs in blender is fun.
how? object mode - add - metaball - cube
can copy n paste + move/scale/rotate
must have same name
created a particle system using a hand drawn "slash" which I turned into a 1 bit png #gamedev #godot
for it to be a trusted source it must have ZERO "sponsored" fake articles written by the companies that sell the product the article is about. zero.
I make video game because I want to make story that is also toy
People tend to assume my work in helping people learn how to make games is for industry careers
But for 20 years most people I've helped make games haven't mainly been seeking jobs doing it
Freeware game development is valid and worthwhile as a way to learn a variety of skills and enrich our lives
This looks like even better workflow!! I really want non-destructive edits. With your approach, do you need to first "destructively" bake a group of objects into a single mesh in order to remesh? (meaning, no ability to, say, move an ear around once remeshed?) or can you go back and adjust?

The full lineup of this month's edition of @gaconf.bsky.social was released, and we take a quick look at the topics covered during this game accessibility conference.
This year's European edition is fully remote and free to attend on April 27 and 28.

this was a fun idea: short-lived particles with random tilt+scale and constant speed

jumbotron mesh
jumbotron unreal setup
jumbotron in game
just made a live jumbotron in unreal!
how to do it: make a renderTarget texture that uses a sceneCapture2d camera and add it to the emissive of an unlit material so it's fullbright. #gamedev #unreal
thinking about global game jamming
sorry, thought that was your goal (to sell it). since people don't buy html games but love to buy executables it's a good option for selling html games on steam etc. ps it works on a mac (and linux too)
for freeware, not worth the effort. simply zip it up and post as a web game on itch. best wishes
I recommend nw.js which will turn it into an .exe
