Tabletop Gaming Event here in Eugene!
So tomorrow (as of when I'm posting this) there's going to be a tabletop gaming and fantasy focused holiday market over at Funagain Games. Figured I'd bring it up here since I only found out about it when I saw a poster around town.
EDIT: It's from noon to 6 PM
EDIT 2: It already happened, so don't get your hopes up
Anyone know when the High Street Protected Bikeway might open?
I've been highly anticipating it ever since construction began, and it looks nearly finished to me. This would make so many trips much easier!
@ICastFist
I would treat every indie game as basically a lottery ticket. Keep making more fun games until you get lucky.
@ICastFist
I would argue that "zero-skill" games can have charm if they're still fun or creative. Perhaps I'm a bit biased though as a beginner gamedev who doesn't have much skill outside of programming though.
@Ategon
When you think your game's scope is small, it isn't. Keep scoping as tiny as possible so you could finish your game in a week or two
@The_Picard_Maneuver
One of my favorite parts of Lemmy is that you can reply to posts (and even post directly to communities) from other ActivityPub services such as Mastodon. That's what I'm doing right now, actually! :p
@Ategon
The most essential personally would be the C programming language and vim. After all, it's what I'm most comfortable with
[Now Released] Here have a little preview of The Sun Gem
an upcoming choose your own adventure game I'm working on for the #Commodore64 as part of a game jam
Some things I learned when making this:
- It's better to make smaller games, as my last game was a more complex one that I couldn't finish
- Developing for a retro computer is easier when you don't use a game engine (luckily I don't really like working with game engines anyways)
Edit: I released the game! Check it out here!

@punkisundead absolutely opposed to it. From my experiences in the local activist scene which tends to emphasize left unity, it's especially shitty as an anarchist to be talked down because of my issues with tons of hierarchy and abuse in those orgs because "we've gotta have left unity". The only solution I can think of is to split off and commit to anarchist principles, knowing that it will alienate many.
