#itch_io — Public Fediverse posts

I updated my itch.io cover for my game, because the click trough rate (ctr) was 0.36%.

That means that 1387 people were shown my game in a list of games and only 5 people clicked on my game.

The players at that point only see the cover image, the name and a one sentence description.

My old cover was just the logo text, then i tried a scene from a room. And both looked very ugly between the other games, so i built more fancy one :-)

Itch.io ist sowas von "lost in translation"… 🤦

Fairy Amalgam is 100% off and my other games 69% off to celebrate the Holigays. I have made a couple of plain free games too that are a good fit for the season.

If you play my games, consider giving them a review on Itch. It would be nice since I got recently hit by some review bombing. Money would be nice too but only if you can comfortably afford it!

I recently bought an @itchio bundle specifically because #TerraNil was there, and today my kids convinced me to try and play it, because they liked the idea of reconquering the land for animals and plants. It is indeed a pretty nice game.

(And let me anticipate @alxd jumping into my mentions to remind everybody that it's not truly #SolarPunk by linking this review <https://www.escapistmagazine.com/terra-nil-hopeful-climate-fiction-dark-side-technocracy/>)

#itch_io is doing a sale for some reason (I know...), so I've put my stealth shooter Turret Baffler on sale for the next few days.

Sit up high and clear a path through cameras, laser tripwires and security guards for your partner as you uncover a megacorps' shenanigans.

Just released a free little puzzle.
https://henspace.itch.io/zupzle-geometry-pack

I wrote the game to have a little practice writing a vanilla JavaScript game. I also intend to release a version using my drawings. Sort of like an interactive portfolio.

I've just finished a little free-to-play, relaxing puzzle

https://henspace.itch.io/scramb2

It's in beta, so expect some rough edges.

This has kept me away from the drawing board, but I should be able to start drawing again 😀

Very interested in feedback and commentary, hearing how your jam is doing.

I did a little write up on the new stuff I tried out in my latest #bitsy game Supply Run for #bitsyjam 90.

Viz the discussion of #memory and #programming and memories of Richard C. Waters' memory and programming,
I adopted Waters' #MIT #AI Memo on #Series for lispmoo2 (#MOO DSL in lisp).

Anybody familiar with the device orientation permission on Safari on *iOS*?
It looks like `DeviceOrientationEvent.requestPermission()` always resolves with `denied` when requested from an iframe under certain conditions.

The specific conditions are unclear to me, but that prevents itch.io from running A-Frame and other WebXR experiences on iOS.

I wrote some details on itch.io bug tracker:
https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/1669

Please boost!

Es ist Freitagabend, langsam aber sicher ist die Sonne am Horizont verschwunden und was auch immer du gerade tust, du liest diesen Text hier also ... kannst du auch genauso gut dieses Browserspiel hier ausprobieren welches ich beim Stöbern auf itch.io gefunden habe:

https://igep.itch.io/a-game-about-boundaries

Schaffe schaffe Häusle baue sage ich nur. Jedoch, die Züge sind begrenzt, es gilt taktisch Ressourcen zu erwirtschaften sonst klappt es nicht.

Ich hatte Spaß, ihr hoffentlich auch!

I wrote a small post describing the vibe of a particularly plain 18 minutes of programming I happened to do.

It's informative in that it's not an example of successfully showing off, but still conveys a different feeling to bland programming advice.

First quarter hour of a graphical+text adventure world (stroke moo fake moo client)

@mdhughes I still haven't digested all the game dev wisdom you dropped on me (as might by evident from this article...). I dunno if you can squint at the #lisp long enough to have a look.

@vidak Well I'm doing my #o10 games to figure out what does and doesn't seem to work for me for games to start with. The queue so far is like this:
Done:
-move star around screen
-tictactoe
-robots
Todo:
Maze generator
Minimal hack clone
MOO digging game
Minimal adventure clone

If we can get into the same space, we'll move twice as fast.

#devlog #itch_io
Hey everyone. I'm actually really happy with the #Lisp Game Soft-ware Cons-ole #lafs #gameDev . The *whole work* of making the game (well, interactively moving a circle and star around a screen) with dynamic informational panels, buttons and Keypress Accelerators is suitably sm0l and clear.

Basically we just need to do a few examples overlaying a few png images for graphics as well as the vector drawing, and scene-description-text and we are grand

Ongoing battle against #itch_io html generation. My weave grows stronger

#gameDev #CautionaryTales . In designing #LAFS
lisp
game
software
console
We have to be prepared for each game dev studio deploying to our console to be working in their own custom signature game dev #lisp .
This example shows a tricky and desirable one. A special language for smoothly interoperating both lisp and C/C++, to access #SDL2 for example.

I made a somewhat grandiose #itch #itch_io #devlog about #HowToProgram part i out of that 30 minute livecoding video.

I think I can reasonably defend this, and it will be fun to write as I interactively grow #LAFS (Lisp Games Software Console).

Edit:
CAUTIONARY TALES do not ever attempt to interact with itch.io's devlog formatter. They allow you to paste in html. Do that and exclusively that. It happened to me, it doesn't need to happen to you.

My latest video game SPIDERBRO 2 is now FREE! Try it out sometime on Steam, Epic Games or Itch.io. It's kinda like one of the old Sierra games, perhaps a little easier.
