So boys and girls. We here at LowKeyHighEntertainment have decided will be upping the stakes on our Patreon and eventual kickstarter. We’ve been working on a “pitch demo” it’s a proof of concept demo, that shows the fundamentals of the game and what it’s suppose to be. An “Alpha” if you will. It’s being developed so we can pitch the idea to investors to help fund our devs and the studio. But we decided why not let the public check it out too? So from when the pitch is completed, we’ll be releasing it on our Patreon and our kickstarter. From there we will be doing regular updates until the actual release of the demo “the beta”. The actual demo, there will be polls and a public discord where you can say what you like, hate and wish was changed. In which we will take that info and upgrade the demo 5 times (each part with a different story piece and different gameplay) once the demo is to the public’s liking, the full game will commence. But it all starts out with that initial support. We’ll be releasing this demo hopefully by the end of next month.

Last Tuesday, Boston Indies hosted an Indie demo showcase at the MIT Open Space and allowed me to share my first ever live game demo! In-person demo showcases aren’t known to be the most procedural playtesting methods, nor are they unbiased 😅. Nonetheless, I came away with 5 key insights and made some cool friends and early supporters🫡: 1. Introduce the game...then yourself. (Players come to explore; the game is more important) 2. Have a clear origin story and timeline. (Knowing your production timeline helps share your story. Players come to play and often wanna help and be part of that story!) 3. Silence can be a good thing - it usually means players are immersed. (I found this to be true every time my cinematic slo-mos hit) 4. Minimize the tutorial, and let players explore. 5. Find what game/media references come to mind for your game. (S-tier underrated method to find your niche and create/subvert a sense of safety for new players) I came in ready to troubleshoot, but with Boston Indies' clean setup, everything ran smoothly 🧼. I also met some fellow up-and-coming ambitious indie studios like Studio Blue Jay!

Hi everyone - let’s make those two weeks of constant creativity great! We have gathered for you some tips for a smooth start of a Game Jam. Here you go:   🌴 Start simple, don't plan a very complicated project. 🌴 Don't try to do a very complicated logic with your games. And If you feel stuck, ask for help in Discord: https://lnkd.in/eWdFZAjv   🌴 When planning, divide your time into three parts where around 60% of your time should be the main building with the features, 30% is optimizing the game, making changes, level design, and 10% leave for testing and bug fixing. 🌴 Make sure to have your project exported and test it in the export version as well 🌴 Upload your game to Itch.io and MANU marketplace https://manu.org/ when your game is in a good state, playable for backup reasons. Better submit half game rather than no game at all. 🌴 Don’t forget to share your progress in Discord - or with #MANUSummerJam tag on social media! Good luck and have a lot of fun!

My First Talk at an Event! 😁 It was my first time on the #plymouthweb meetup, the talks are interesting and impressive, especially Matthew's talk on his game, "Justicar's Scales," created during the GameOff Game Jam. During my presentation, I showcased my profile website, built using Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages. Additionally, I shared some information on my game, "OhMyGod" developed for the Brackeys Game Jam. This presentation is out of my original plan, next time I will be well prepared, have gameplays to demonstrate, and more in-depth explanation behind the works.

Day 14 of #100DaysOfCode problem: Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with Alice starting first. Initially, there is a number n on the chalkboard. On each player's turn, that player makes a move consisting of: Choosing any x with 0 < x < n and n % x == 0. Replacing the number n on the chalkboard with n - x. Also, if a player cannot make a move, they lose the game. Return true if and only if Alice wins the game, assuming both players play optimally.
