  1. Here's the website / game I've been working on all weekend. denweaver.puter.site/index.htm #denweaver

    One of the features is that as you play the game it will generate a static site for you that you can put up anywhere and folks can play on your site with you.

  2. I'm ever so slowly putting the pieces of my #smallweb project #denweaver together. I was struggling with the games aspect of the site, until #gamemaker dropped a new version with a much more generous license. I'm now playing with GM to make my game GUI -> midnight-magic-zone.neocities.

    One thing that confuses me is that there is the concept of parent objects that can be inherited from, but they also have tags which is more composition based. I guess you can choose your own method for object organization.

  3. I have to keep reminding myself of all the cool things I want to do with #denweaver when I have only a skeleton of a website and nary an interaction built yet. Making stuff is fun, but hard.

  4. Good morning Fediverse (we really need a better name!) I hope that you find something amazing to discover today! For me I’m going to try to jump start my #denweaver stuff with more work on using #kaboomjs to render the player and get them walking around.

    I hope to get a new laptop for Christmas and boost my ability to work while not at my desk. My current laptop basically only works when plugged in as the battery has stopped taking a charge.

  5. Today starts a new chapter in my #gamedev journey - I'm working on #denweaver, and I'm going to use the #kaboomjs library to render stuff. So today I start learning KaboomJS!

  6. I was playing this kid's game and it's completely made me rethink how I'm approaching #denweaver especially in the startup state.

  7. Trying to think of a gamedev goal for this weekend. So far all I can think of is to try to work on the actual design doc. I’ve been freewheeling it for a while and I think this is not super productive. Any #gamedev folks have advice for creating a #gamedesign doc for a #neopets style web game? #denweaver

  8. Somehow, I got all my #gamedev goals for my side project #denweaver done during this time off. Now with less time each week, I need to be more focused and tactical in how I spend my time. My goal now is to get a first time experience for a new user by the end of the year.

  9. YYAYAY I got my coding goal done for today #denweaver
    I was able to code up a chat easily via #appwrite

  14. #gamedev goal for today -
    1) whatever I want to do on the site -- random stuff
    2) build a chat component that I can add to any page.

  15. Tomorrow’s #gamedev goals: set up a basic ‘daily quest’ that pulls from my Opera Omnia data set #denweaver

  16. Today after many weeks, I've finally got some part of #denweaver done that actually looks like a 'game' - One of the main things you'll be doing is building a little home for yourself that others can visit. Here's a early prototype of that using the latest #kaboomjs watch.screencastify.com/v/k5yE

  17. I managed to get user profiles set up on my #denweaver site. I'm all set up now to start the "game" part of the site. I'm so chuffed! Tomorrow ( my birthday! ) I'm going to start playing with KaboomJS and begin the first aspect of playing on the site!

  18. I got my #gamedev goal done early yesterday ( getting login working via #appwrite ) so now my weekend goal -- get user accounts starting! Things are getting exciting!

  22. I did a little work on #denweaver today. Not much but important things. Incremental progress!

  23. I spent 2x more time on my side project today than yesterday. I’m super chuffed! ( ~1 hr vs 3hrs today! )

    I even did … things! And made … changes!

    Tomorrow I need to go read the #appwrite docs carefully to understand how they want you to organize your data, but then my goal for the week is to have a legitimate user account you can sign into and begin the process of having users own and see their data. #denweaver

  24. When working on a #sideproject resist the urge to constantly scrap things and redo them. Get things working / limping along and you can always go back later and refactor / clean up. If you spend all your time making it perfect you’ll not make much progress on you feature goals. #denweaver

  25. Progress on my side project:

    1️⃣ %

    I’ll take it!

    🎉

  26. It's crazy town but I got some complicated issues fixed with my website - I moved it from one hosting provider to another, and had all kinds of issues moving it - but I seem to have solved many of them! It's almost like I'm a web dev or something. Crazy town.

    All this while barely being able to sit up long enough to type.

    #denweaver

  27. Today in gamedev … I spent an hour messing with dns for Denweaver.com … and it worked! First success of the weekend. #denweaver

  28. My experiment with a new dev setup for my side project worked. Tomorrow I will start again in earnest. #denweaver

  29. Replatforming to @astro 3.0 today and rethinking how I am doing dev on #denweaver

  30. I started getting anxious about my #gamedev #webdev side project called #denweaver until I remembered that I am treating this like a #garden - something that I cultivate in my spare time and have fun with it, not some burning urgent list of tasks that I must do to the expense of everything else.

  31. Goal for today: assess what I’ve gotten done on my #denweaver project. Think about what next I can do incrementally.

    How does one build a #community around a game? #gamedev

  32. Realized I'm on a #quest - my quest is to create a #cozy #fantasy game that you can play in your browser with no install. One that you can play every day or play whenever you feel like it with no stress. One that allows you to be creative while having fun.

    #denweaver

  33. My goal for working on my game during my #sabbatical --> just open up the editor every day.

    That's it. If I do that, I will have achieved my goal for this time off.

    Whatever else happens after that is icing on the cake.

    #denweaver

  34. One of the game mechanics I'm working on for #denweaver is the idea that items and features are like stickers in a sticker book. You can collect them, use them, complete "collections" and potentially even share them.

  35. Today I'm working on more planning stuff for #denweaver, plus playing with KaboomJS for a simple UI

  36. My "tech stack" :
    1) #appwrite for back end
    2) #astrobuild for node app
    3) #replit for IDE
    4) #github for storage
    5) #shoelace shoelace.style for widgets
    6) #svelte for any magic
    7) #kaboomjs for game views
    8) #opengameart for art assets
    9) #kennynl kenney.nl/ for more assets
    10) #nightcafe for some special art

  37. OMG I just linked my Opera Omnia repo into my #denweaver game via the super easy #withastro apis ... I'm so chuffed I could scream

  38. #denweaver #appwrite #withastro #replit

    Making a web game and ... made actual progress this weekend! I got login working!

  39. #gamedev #denweaver

    Today I have some spoons to work on Denweaver. My goal for today is to get login working. Stretch goal is to allow someone who's logged in to chat.

    I'm super excited to be using #withastro and #appwrite
