Reminder: Please report posts that are not jokes/memes/humorous

64 Upvotes

Hey folks, just a reminder from your sub founder and moderator: please make sure to hit the 'report' button on posts that don't fit the subreddit (usually because they are not memes or in any way humorous).

People get confused all the time and post promotional content or help posts here, which isn't what the subreddit is for. I remove them whenever I see them, but you can help by making the sub stay on-topic by reporting content that doesn't fit, so it gets auto-removed even if I can't get to it right away.

Downvoting, or informing the OP in the comments that they're in the wrong place is of course fine too, but since we don't get a lot of posts every day, downvoting alone doesn't necessarily stop the misplaced posts from showing up in other users' feeds.

Thank you very much!!

By day: Banking, spreadsheets, and loan files.

By night: Learning Kotlin and building games.

I just released my very first indie title: Red Ball Chaos — a fast-paced 100-stage arcade reflex challenge built completely offline for pure quick-reaction gameplay.

Stepping out of my comfort zone to turn my life around through coding has been the scariest and most rewarding journey. Search Red Ball Chaos on Google Play and let me know if your reflexes can survive past level 30!

Physics is hard, but funny when wrong

Finally tried to add physics based crashes in my game. Hard to grasp every possible crash though.

Here's my first run at it.

Something I've been thinking about lately: how much invisible work goes into game dev that players will never see or notice.

I shelved my game for two years. A friend I hadn't spoken to since high school messaged me out of nowhere, and I finished it.

The more trees you try to chop down, the funnier they fall (sometimes they just fly)

Next steps

Hey all, i have now taken the next steps with my game. I am currently seeking an artist to work with (that I can afford to pay on my own dollar) the first and second pictures are the original map that I hand drew which limited to me only being able to play my game at home or physically as long as I have the board and the second picture are the original cards that I made in paint and with stock art. The third picture is the most recent update and it is my game on Tabletop simulator which I am still in the process of getting exactly right but it is coming along so I can now play online with people. Does anybody have any advice while I am still in this stage?
