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.
-
@Thore Well, I'm mainly interested in productivty Linux device 😁 For gaming, I saw on #FOSDEM another interesting device - #FireflyZero 😉
-
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.
-
Got to play with an amazing #gaming #console based on #esp32 - #FireflyZero, here on #FOSDEM
-
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.
-
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.
-
Fitrefly Zero Gamejam #1 results are published!
-
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.
-
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.

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 constraintsWe can't wait to see where you are, what you create.
Perks/merchs are already in the house

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.

- Dating fireflies
- Flying a starship that looks like a firefly
- Catching flies on fire (play with the word!)

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") -
Today at 6:00 PM UTC, we will reveal the theme.
Are you in? Why not join us here https://itch.io/jam/firefly-jam
Your game doesn’t need to be polished.
It just needs to be yours.See you at 6, and we'll be happy to answer your questions on @discord.com

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.
-
I’ve been working on my 2D platformer Blutti. I’m finally done reprogramming the movement system, though there are still some edge cases to fix. I’ve also added support for multi tile monsters, and moving platforms.
These were the main blockers I’ve had. Now I think I can finally start adding more features. Which is a lot more fun than refactoring and tweaking movement.

Game jams are underrated.
They’re not about winning, they’re about:- learning fast,
- experimenting freely,
- meeting other builders,
- shipping somethingSome of the best games ever started as tiny jam projects.
Firefly Zero is a perfect playground for that mindset.Have you ever joined a game jam?

I’ve added some new minor features to my my 2D platformer game Blutti.
There’s now a monster that moves vertically, and a stationary rotating circular blade. And there’s a green jewel that can be collected for points. And I added particles when changing movement direction.
-
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.

I received two new PRs with improvements to my platformer game Blutti from @orsinium
I have released version 0.8 which contains these changes:
https://github.com/ollej/firefly-blutti/releases/tag/v0.8The 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.
