A new PLOK Remake Devlog is among us. This time making a linux build to play on Steam Deck, adding new levels and moving platforms! Moving platforms were challenging, next time we will be looking at the first boss!
Adding POWERUPS and ENEMIES
I Made A WarioWare Inspired Game in 48 Hours (GMTK 2023 Game Jam)
What do you mean you don’t know who Bario is? BarioWare: Swap is my entry to the Game Makers Toolkit Game Jam for 2023. The theme was Roles Reversed.
The examples given for this theme in its announcement video were;
- Angry Birds where you build the towers instead of knocking them down
- Pong where you play as the ball instead of the paddle
- Tetris where you control the board/environment instead of the falling blocks
I applied the theme to WarioWare which became WarioWare but you’re in control of the microgames, now while a WarioWare game already exists where you make games (WarioWare DIY) I decided to make a game that instead has you modifying and setting up existing microgames to maximise your chances of defeating the player (The AI).
An example from the game includes a microgame where the AI is trying to pop balloons within 5 seconds, in this example you get 5 seconds to spread out the balloons as much as possible so the AI can’t click them all fast enough.
You can play the game for free on itch.io, if you’re also taking place in the GMTK Game Jam, why not give BarioWare a rating while the submission page is still open? Thanks

Game Dev Direct – February 2023 (TomInbound Direct)
Hey everyone, I’m looking to get back into game more regular game development videos. To start this off I thought it would be fun to parody a Nintendo Direct and do my own set of announcements mostly related to new games and updates to old ones with a few channel updates thrown in for good measure. The direct only has 4 minutes of runtime (Please Understand) thought its quite dense on content and to the point! A new devlog series will air straight after the presentation and a few other goodies will also be available shortly after. Hope to see you there!

So the Global Game Jam 2016 has come and gone, I worked in a group of 3. I was the only coder in the team, whilst the others helped come up with our initial idea. The others also made all the art and some of the sounds. The game jam was 48 hours long, the longest I have ever participated in, of which we used around 24 hours.
