Sent my colleagues the link to this game jam. It would be really cool if anyone got interested to join https://itch.io/jam/psyche-game-jam-2025 #mentalhealth #gamejam
Oh yes... I totally forgot to share my #LD57 game :)

Psyche Game Jam 2025, fittingly, spans Mental Health Awareness Month and then some.
I made a cozy drawing/pixel art tool for the Ludum Dare game jam this weekend. In "Color Depth" you click tiles to lower or raise them which changes their color. It's also possible to import images and save your creations.
![[LLM generated, mostly] That's a screenshot of COLOR DEPTH.
Here's a breakdown of what's visible:
Main Area: The large central area displays a pixel art piece of a sunset with palm trees. The image uses a limited color palette (shown below), creating a low-color depth effect. The user is currently interacting with the image; a section is highlighted, suggesting a painting or editing process is underway.
Controls and Information:
Top Right: "Brush #5" shows the currently selected brush tool.
Right Side: This section displays a list of controls and their corresponding keyboard shortcuts:
Mouse buttons for raising/lowering tiles
Mouse wheel for changing brushes.
Page Up/Down keys to change the color palette.
'O' key to open an image.
'S' key to save the image.
Bottom Left: "X: 12 Y: 15 Z: 2" displays the coordinates of the currently selected tile or area. The "Z" value represents the tile's depth.
Bottom Right: "Palette #4" and the color swatches show the currently active color palette.
In short, the image captures a moment during the creation or editing of a low-resolution pixel art image within a specialized software.](https://cdn.masto.host/mastodongamedevplace/media_attachments/files/114/293/251/961/682/556/original/4e36a4a51f16393b.png "[LLM generated, mostly] That's a screenshot of COLOR DEPTH.

Not quite done but almost!
My Inkscape keeps crashing. Its a slightly older version and my laptop is a very older laptop but so far haven't lost too much work since starting this file 
The trees and a couple more elements will actually be procedually placed, so some of this is just so we know what we're aiming for.
Note to self: Gotta do critters too

Fixed the “corner push” glitch in my #LD57 game... turns out it was indeed caused by my shitty screen shake!
Big thanks to a kind soul in the community who told me what the glitch was called, reviewed my messy code, and helped me squash it
Lost quite a bit of time, but now I finally hope to build the level and add some visual sugar on top of this glorious pile of spaghetti code.

Last Sunday I've submitted my game for the A MAZE game jam, theme was "ageing" and I made a cozy game where you can relax, take care of a house and journal. Time pass the same as real life. I'm very happy with it! 
It's called The Place, and it's free and available here : https://pikario.itch.io/the-place
Game devs! Are any of you also hyped for Ludum Dare? It's this weekend, the theme announcement happens in 3 hrs from now! HYPE!!
https://ldjam.com/
Already at 10 participants and we're only the 3rd day after the announcement! For those who don't know, we're making an event that encourages people to make games with smaller sizes! #gamedev #gamejam #GameDevelopment
Am Samstag beginnt die #LudumDare #GameJam. Ich hatte bisher keine Gelegenheit mich darauf vorzubereiten, aber das hat mich früher auch nicht abgehalten. Ich bin auf das Thema gespannt. #LD57 #gamedev
I started the #glitchGFXjam today, a day early, because I was extremely sure it started today haha
https://itch.io/jam/glitch-gfx-jam
It is a month-long #anythingJam focusing on using graphics from the (defunct and open sourced) game Glitch, hosted by @atjscreams and me!
Beginner friendly and there's resources listed for easy ways to make your #game or #zine or #ttrpg or whatever!
