Screenshot of the high scores for the mobile game Rune Sweeper. The top score is over 1 million, while the second score is about 500 thousand.

Someone just doubled the all time high score for Rune Sweeper. I know the person… they said they were sick in bed, so they had lots of time to think about every move. It puts my own high score to shame!

You look like the dude in your profile pic

I like the wheat on flour bag detail

“Make the game you want to play”

Yeah, because you will be play testing it 873 times before first release.

Nos vemos pronto!

I had one of those printers! I really enjoyed it

Thanks for reminding me of this, it’s been a while since I read it

I have no solid ideas for my next game

All of them? 👍

Ours does too

vim still rocks, though. I use both now 👍

Things they don’t tell you in the summer time when they’re being installed!

Very nice

For sure lapsed domains are auto-sniped. I’m OK with that… once I let a domain go, I never check up on it again and assume it’s serving an evil ad empire now 😉

I used to own many - one for each game that I published. I let most of them lapse after reading this: blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/domain-...

It’s very awesome that people keep playing my game. I see a bunch of weekly high scores from random internet strangers. Thank you, kind people, I truly hope you’re having fun.

Neat drawing, I like it. As long as the thing isn’t attacking me.

A shelf full of used books, with “JavaScript for web developers” and “CSS” beside each other

Browsing through used books, I moved the CSS book so it’s colocated with the JavaScript book. I figured if someone was going to buy one they may want both

It’s just entertainment. Like why do people bother watching sports on TV instead of going out and playing them? Primarily, and usually, I think for entertainment.

Some of that might be interesting to watch, but finding those needles in that haystack…..🤪

So true.

A mobile app distribution country list, with all countries enabled except for China, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Every country that says "you must fill out this rating questionnaire for every game you publish in our country" simply gets removed from the distribution list. Nope, not doing that. So far China, Indonesia and Vietnam.

I wish they could all just standardize, but... xkcd.com/927/

It’s astounding how bad it all is

Rune Sweeper 2.0 just launched, now with 100% fewer games lost to being put in the background!

(save game feature is automatic)

the anime sfx-making tool! It's called ANIMEVOX, in big letters up top. Then there's the controls: In vertical pairs: Left: Pitch Rise Rise speed Reverb Room size On the right: Wobble Speed Wobble Amount Tone Brightness Volume Next is a row of keys: Randomize - randomizes the sound parameters UNDO/ REDO - go back to parameters you liked Export Wav - self explanatory, it saves a copy of the latest sound to your hard drive. Then the fun buttons, with cute art styles: IMPACT, sparkle, beam, powerUP, PON, BOOM, slash, woosh Each produces a preset sound, which then goes through the fx chain. Hope you enjoy it!

I made a tool that makes retro anime sound effects. Meet AnimeVox!
I made it for a game, but it's free to use.

I'm using the forgotten (but popular in 80s japan) Schroeder reverb algo, and some wobble.
