  1. Join Firefly Zero game #2: "Nobody Expects a Jam". It's live now and it will be very fun! You have 7 days to make a Firefly Zero game with a SURPRISE.

    itch.io/jam/firefly-jam-2

  2. New language! You can now write Firefly Zero games in Odin, a Go-like language with manual memory management. Give it a try with the latest firefly-cli:

    ff new --lang=odin hello

    docs.fireflyzero.com/dev/getti

    In reference to @0xabad1dea, --lang=abadidea also works 🙃

  3. I’ve done some performance improvements to the game Lampy for the Firefly Zero handheld retro game console. It should hopefully be fast enough to run on the hardware prototype now so that it can be tested at Fosdem.

  4. I made some more improvements to the game Lampy this evening.

    I’m hoping the multiplayer works better, and there’s a bunch of updates to the points system. There are also some bug fixes and other small game improvements.

  5. I just published the game Lampy to the Firefly Zero game jam! It's a super simple game where you need to guide fireflies to a goal by shining a flashlight of their color at them. I made it together with a friend during the weekend. I'm dead tired now.

  6. Final day of Firefly Jam 🚨

    Even a small, unfinished game is worth submitting.
    Progress beats perfection, especially in game jams where you have thematic and time constraints

    We can't wait to see where you are, what you create.

    Perks/merchs are already in the house

  11. I’ve prepped a repository for the Firefly Zero game jam. I’m coding the game in Rust, of course. My friend and I have come up with a simple idea and will start coding it tomorrow.

    #FireflyZero #Rust #RustLang #GameDev #GameJam

  12. - Dating fireflies
    - Flying a starship that looks like a firefly
    - Catching flies on fire (play with the word!)
    - Your childhood memories about seeing fireflies
    - A firefly-themed classic game (minesweeper? pinball?)

    If you need help finding an inspiration, drop a message in our Discord. And remember, everyone has just 2 days to make the game, so it doesn't have to be perfect!

  13. The Firefly Zero Jam theme is "firefly"! Crazy, right? It can be anything related to fireflies or the word "firefly".

    Some ideas:

    - Catching fireflies
    - Being a firefly
    - Mimicking firefly light patterns ("photuris")

  14. Today at 6:00 PM UTC, we will reveal the theme.

  21. Game jams are underrated.
    They’re not about winning, they’re about:

    - learning fast,
    - experimenting freely,
    - meeting other builders,
    - shipping something

    Some of the best games ever started as tiny jam projects.
    Firefly Zero is a perfect playground for that mindset.

  22. @Thore Well, I'm mainly interested in productivty Linux device 😁 For gaming, I saw on #FOSDEM another interesting device - #FireflyZero 😉

  23. I visited the Firefly Zero booth to try out the new hardware prototype. It looks and feels great. I also got to try my game Lampy in multiplayer, which was great. But it still got a bit sluggish with too many fireflies on screen. There’s more optimizations needed.

  24. I've published a new version of the Firefly Zero game Lampy that boots and I made for the Firefly Zero Game Jam.

    It includes some performance improvements, an improvement to the movement code and some visual improvements.

    github.com/ollej/firefly-lampy

    #GameDev #FireflyZero #Rust #RustLang

  25. I’ve reimplemented all the movement features and merged the branch into master.

    There are some movement improvements, and I hope it will be easier to add new features.

    But first I need to do some refactoring of the code.

    github.com/ollej/firefly-blutti

    #gamedev #FireflyZero #Rust #RustLang

  26. I received a couple of PR's for my Firefly Zero game Blutt with cleanup and updates needed for the latest version.

    The new version is published and available to play now.

    catalog.fireflyzero.com/olle.b

    #GameDev #FireflyZero #Blutti #PixelArt #Platformer

  27. I received two new PRs with improvements to my platformer game Blutti from @orsinium

    I have released version 0.8 which contains these changes:
    github.com/ollej/firefly-blutt

    The movement has been improved to allow both walking and running depending on where on the touchpad you press.

    It also now follows the recommended guidelines for which buttons to use.

    #GameDev #Blutti #FireflyZero

  28. Yesterday I fixed a couple of the remaining big movement bugs in my 2D platformer Blutti. I also added a fix that should hopefully improve control when using the touchpad. Unfortunately I’m still unable to test with a touchpad myself.

    Maybe I could setup a VM with Linux and run the game from there with the Steam controller.
