The Month of Games #4

Image
The Month of Games ends here with a big surprise. Having given up on a game would be pretty on brand for me, but I didn't give up on these - just did some scaling back. And, that's right, I said these. As in more than one. Introducing Filmsies , Gamesies , Showsies and Songsies , all playable right now in your browser.

The Month of Games #3 - Heart of the Cards

It's now the third week of August, which means it's time for the third game in The Month of Games. If you have Tabletop Simulator on Steam, you will be able to use this . And if you don't, it is possible to play with other people in person as long as you have a deck of cards and follow the ruleset .

The Month of Games #2 - There's Always a Bigger Fish

The Month of Games continues! As with last week's outing, you can play it now by downloading from itch , or you can get it from the Google Play store if you have an Android device.

Random Learnings

Next week, the Month of Games begins. Almost every project is ready - two are uploaded and waiting for me to hit publish, one needs me to commit some changes (but not yet, otherwise it will break my test setup), and the fourth needs a couple of days to kick it over the finish line. It was so tempting on Wednesday night to just say fuck it and release what's ready, but that would spoil the whole idea. As for what happens after that, we shall see. I think I'm committed to something. But it's pretty clear by now that I will have probably changed my mind multiple times by the end of next month. Anyway, here is what I have learned over the past few months.

Xanadu

While doing research for a game, I came across a poster for a movie I had never seen before and was immediately captivated by it. Diving deeper into the hole, it turns out the woman on the poster was Olivia Newton-John, most famous to me for being one of the stars of the awful 1978 movie Grease.

While Not Finished, Start Again

I've drafted all of the Month of Games posts, even though some of the games aren't finished yet, although one of them has quite a bit of background that I've decided to split out here because there's a lot that's happened. Long story short - I have abandoned quite a few projects.
