A basketball game side project

A first person 3D basketball game

I’ve been taking a break from the main project to, of course, work on a side project :–) I’m trying to find the kind of games I’m best at making, and what feels the nicest for me to develop. As an exercise, I started this simple one-button basketball game, which has a lot of the elements I like in a game project: something simple, that I can add tons of details to, and fun physics. I’m still figuring out the details on this basketball game, but I’m planning on getting it done soon, in a week or two. I’d also love to work on new local multiplayer games, too, so perhaps after this, and the current main project, it’s time to get back designing more of those!

Otto’s Tennis game on PortMaster

Otto’s Tennis game is now live on PortMaster’s game catalogue, ready for you to download straight from your handheld console. I made this version of the game especially for these cheap little Linux handhelds – it has pixel perfect graphics and proper gamepad controls :–) Thanks Tabreturn and the rest of the PortMaster team for handling the PortMaster side of things. I’m using an older version of Godot myself, but if you’re into making your own games for these devices, and you’re a Godot 4 user, you might want to take a look at Pyral’s guide and and/or go to PortMaster’s Discord server.

Here’s my current project’s state, originally shared with my Ko-fi supporters. I’m taking a tiny break from developing this, but it will get done and released as freeware. It’s a 10+1 button game (change stances with buttons 0 to 9 and fart with space…) where your goal is to somehow get to the floor below.

Second post!

Making some progress hacking the WordPress theme. I’m planning on having a devlog of my current video game here as well as posts of other things of intrest to me. Still have to figure out if I’d like to have a more blog like site or focus more on static pages. We’ll see!
