When my sleep-deprived brain said "defeated", what it meant was "completed"

I have finally played and defeated Shadow of the Colossus, the PS4 version specifically.

What stood out to me most was how empty the open world was compared to modern games. As a result, it feels so much larger and you're really given the chance to take in the awe-inspiring view!

Wait. Is "Chess is More" a Baba Is You reference?

My condolences. However, I am now intrigued.

I always said r/AnarchyChess needed a game adaptation

Any time the player has to make a choice, you need to communicate that through UI... I hadn't thought about it until now but I can't think of any part worse than pawn promotion.

Aside from maybe the opposing AI as a whole. But... there's definitely some library out there for that already.

It's only been a few hours and my friends over at BungleDungleGaming have ALREADY recorded and uploaded some gameplay of LOCK TIME!

There is nothing better than seeing someone enjoy something you made!

Also, fanart?! 😱😱😱

About 50% of my potential players probably drop off because I always make it a download...

My submission to the #GMTKjam #GMTK #gamejam is LOCK TIME, a small puzzle platformer that I swear is different enough from Mind Over Magnet to be its own thing!

I'm super proud of how this turned out as a solo dev over four days!

You can find it with instructions on the Brickit app:

It would be interesting if instead of relinquishing control, it's just a shift in gameplay and objectives. I'd love to see an MMO like that that's just an everlasting conflict between zombies and humans

You know the procrastination has gotten bad when you open a social media platform you haven't used in weeks...

Okay today will be different. I'm committing. Today, I will get stuff done!

Just thinking about this at a surface level... it might be a nice accessibility feature to quickly run through a tutorial again if you haven't played in years.
