I’m going to try something different for the platformer game. I’m going to put it online, but secretly. You can try it here, by using the password “secretgame”. https://dz-tt2195.itch.io/puzzle-platformer. Right now there’s 1 very short level that can be beaten in under 30 seconds. It does have all the core game mechanics though if you want to try it out.
Admittedly I didn’t actually work on the platforming game much this week. This is because I’ve started a secret project that I can’t reveal right now. It’s an online card game, that’s all I can say. It's made a lot of progress though, to the point where I won't need to work on it every single day anymore. Which means I can now devote more time to the platforming game by adding more levels and traditional mechanics you see in platformers.
Since the platforming game is also a resurrection of the platformer game in the 2024 Collection, I now realize that basically every game in it has been developed in 2025. Which also means that collection didn’t age very well, as I’ve done better with all of them by spending more time on them. Depending on your viewpoint this means that collection was either a good way to experiment with ideas, or it means that it was pointless to spend only 1 week on each game and I should’ve immediately gotten to working on each game full time. I’m now leaning towards the latter viewpoint, which also means that a 2025 collection may or may not happen later this year.
Admittedly I’m starting to get a little tired of doing even weekly posts. I have a notes document where I put thoughts into, that later get elaborated into paragraphs for the friday post. But a lot of times recently that document is completely blank when it comes to writing posts, which is why the posts have gotten shorter and shorter. I don’t know if spreading the posts even further would actually fix anything though.
It’s been a while since I’ve shared music. There’s only been 2 new ones, but I’m liking them a lot:
