Your first few (in-game) hours in @FringePlanet - a thread :-)

This will take you from your peons waking up, to starting research, to creating a small (temporary) base which should be good for the first few nights :-)

#gamedev
Best way to start is to get food, so initially I scout the map for cherry/plyme fruit and send the peons to collect the tasty food while I take a look around. At this point it's best to gather the fruit, rather than harvest the entire plant as that takes a lot longer to do.
The peons have harvested the orders queued and are now returning things to storage - an initial storage chest is always spawned at the start of the game relatively central in the island - this can be moved/destroyed later on, but just speeds up the early game

My #ldjam results: broke top 100 in everything, so I’m grateful <3

I ran an analysis over the stats over my 9 jams, while the dataset is tiny, there were some interesting observations:
1/
First off, I think scores and placement isn’t the most important thing about #ldjam. Enjoy the community, making games, and getting valuable feedback! Don’t judge your jam just by numbers!
2/
First, the raw data, scores and placements, plotted into charts. On the surface, nothing interesting other than I've seen constant improvements in my jams, yay.

BUT let's dig for some insights...

I think I've figured out the underlying mechanism behind Skinner Boxes. Turns out compulsively pulling a lever is the result of a survival skill and fundamental building block of general intelligence. Furthermore, ALL games are gambling. Here's why:
#gamedev #showerthoughts
As a game designer and realist, my interest is understanding how things work. For the last two weeks I've been on a thought journey that began at loot boxes, went through matchmaking systems and ended in the realization of what the mind is actually trying to do.
Gambling is generally defined as involving money. This is wrong. Money has value arbitrarily, and anything can be defined as having value. Games are great at assigning value to new symbols, e.g. ladder points and different gear rating. Gambling is an intelligence process.

1/ Writing this rant from the perspective of someone who started in #gamedev as a playtester, many years ago.

Stop blaming the dev team for games that shouldn't be released. You're blaming exactly the wrong people.
2/ Pick a game you've found disappointing in the last, say, 30 years. Bad monetization. Buggy. Frustrating. Just not fun.

I'll bet money the dev team said "please don't release this".
3/ Game devs are smart. They care about their work. They want to make a great game. They play games too.

(Seriously. No one goes into work each day saying "yeah, I really want to make a game I'm not proud of.")

I made a list of tips for showcasing a game to help me (and maybe you) in the next #GameDev event! Follow the #thread! #indiedev
1. Try to bring a second monitor or rent it from the event. Use it to show trailers or slideshows while someone is trying out the game or you work on fixing a crash on the main one. Boosts visibility if all you have is laptop too.
2. Tailor your swag and presentation to the audience. Business people like numbers and emails, gamers prefer gameplay, stickers and Steam keys.
