Game jams have a lot of time pressure and usually I cant get enough consecutive free time to make something nice. So I’ve switched to doing a project every quarter. That’s a good pace for me, personally. Telekinetic Snail Wizards is the 3rd quarter of 2024 project. The previous projects are also on itch, for free. Animal Defenders TD and Clean up in sector 3.
I am improving. Telekinetic Snail Wizards is more polished than the previous two. It remembers which levels you’ve completed and awards stars. There’s things like the rotation indicator when rotating a push field. Small things that take time but that you really do notice when they’re not there. Behind the scenes the code is also getting better.
The project for the 4th quarter of 2024 will be in 3d and is mostly a ‘that’s not how I would make a minecraft game in panda3d’ gut response to this tutorial video. It is a good video for learning panda3d, but I am concerned about fps and performance when scaling it. I want to try the method I have in mind, and I will probably discover that my method actually does worse than the method in the tutorial video, so that’s going to be a good learning opportunity.
