This week is mostly progress on a game for the #honestjam and then a run through Replicat by @brainoid.bsky.social (featuring votes where you can toggle various shaders to mess with me. e.g. turning the screen into a dvd logo that bounces around)01 Dec 2025 18:34 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6x2wy7qcv23https://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3m6fbrdmr662lStream schedule for the week! Going to start to try to make these weekly. This week's Friday stream features Field of Heroes by @gamieon.com and Sea Beckons by @xpmonster.bsky.social Field of Heroes is a 5v5 soccer game so I will have a lobby open for anyone to join in and play as well24 Nov 2025 16:48 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6fbrdmr662lhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3m62vyh27c52jUploaded Floodworks to Newgrounds in addition to it being on itch. Gives another spot to play the game when itch has downtime or for people that prefer Newgrounds. Should be doing the same for all future post jam updates I make #gamedev #brackeysgamejam https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/100690120 Nov 2025 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m62vyh27c52jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3m62ucsc3dd23Made some updates to my personal site to make it a landing page with all of my socials so I can start linking it everywhere as the main call to action instead of having various links. Includes links to platforms related to my gamedev, music, and game videos. #gamedev #webdev20 Nov 2025 13:21 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m62ucsc3dd23https://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3m5yy7qzqv72jPushed an updated version of one of the jam games I made last year. Its a game where you need to build up a city to produce enough food and water for your population as the water levels are rising and flooding your city. team-auboreal.itch.io/floodworks #gamedev #gamejam #brackeysgamejam19 Nov 2025 19:25 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5yy7qzqv72jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3m5evy6c5dx26Working on some post jam builds for various jam games I made to clear out my backlog before I start working on new projects. Should be getting my first updated one out this week and here's an updated thumbnail I made for it #gamedev #d2jam11 Nov 2025 19:52 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5evy6c5dx26https://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lythedxwmk2lDid some work to add achievements to the d2jam site. Had them in before the jam and just pushed a couple more changes to improve the visuals. They work by players self reporting completion and based on the amount of people that have gotten an achievement it is assigned a rarity. #GameJam #D2Jam14 Sep 2025 23:34 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lythedxwmk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lwoyzdzbvc2eBeen working on some more features for d2jam.com. Ill be doing some posts showing off new features I added to the site in the lead up to the jam (which starts Sep 5th) The first new feature is the addition of a localization system for people to browse the site in other languages #GameJam #D2Jam18 Aug 2025 18:16 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwoyzdzbvc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lvedgqp37k2jDay 2 progress on my #GMTKjam snake game Got most of the base systems in now. Day 3 should be adding in a lot of the combat and adding content to the larger zones past the starting area #gamedev #gamejam01 Aug 2025 18:58 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvedgqp37k2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lvblv7xy722oDay 1 progress on a jam game for the #GMTKjam Working on a snake-like game but instead of eating things directly you would loop around them to collect them. Looping mechanic still pending creation though #gamedev #gamejam31 Jul 2025 16:52 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvblv7xy722ohttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3ltqdldz7v22yMade some pixel art designs for a r/place type canvas event! One for programming.dev and one for #d2jam. Both include smaller designs (for d2jam games from the jam, and p.d communities on the site). For anyone interested the event starts in around an hour at canvas.fediverse.events #pixelart12 Jul 2025 02:43 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltqdldz7v22yhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lsysyto5222tBack from finishing up uni + chilling for a couple months and going to start trying to ramp up posts again. Ill probably be starting with a few every week or something and eventually get back up to the daily posts Been doing some work on a splash page for @d2jam.com recently #GameJam #D2Jam02 Jul 2025 18:15 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lsysyto5222thttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lk33hnbfhc2gBeen getting a bunch of work for uni lately (hence the no posts) but that should clear up in a couple months and then I can start having a proper post schedule again Did some work on d2jam.com again recently to add in the Theme Elimination system & some visual improvements #GameJam #D2Jam11 Mar 2025 03:05 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lk33hnbfhc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lhzsynnwqv2kAnother daily d2jam.com update. Today I worked on post previews and updating the visuals of the featured streamers area. Post previews let you see the content of the post without needing to navigate off of the page (by opening it up in a drawer). Useful for compact post styles. #GameJam #D2Jam13 Feb 2025 04:10 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhzsynnwqv2khttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lhvs4ooei62qPushed an update to add image uploading support to https://d2jam.com Used for adding images to all of the text editors (e.g. post creation) and for uploading profile pictures and banners.Also spent a bit improving the backend structure to make it cleaner and easier to maintain #GameJam #D2Jam11 Feb 2025 13:44 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhvs4ooei62qhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lhnaho2hxw2tPushed an update to https://d2jam.com Added more options to the settings page (ability to change your name, banner image, and bio) and added some image previews for the profile picture and banner image Also started on a profile page to see information about someone #GameJam #D2Jam08 Feb 2025 04:06 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhnaho2hxw2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lh2au6xi3s2vFinished and submitted my entry for the Pirate Software Jam!

Instead of working on UI like I should be doing I added in some more types of enemies (slimes, bosses, and things jumping up from the bottom of the screen) #PirateJam #Gamedev31 Jan 2025 05:41 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgzbzyrda22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lgwhd3wims2gMore game jam game progress. Added in powerups, a combo system, and a death system Also have some other misc polish everywhere like the text that appears at the top.

This is the current progress of 8 hours Ive managed to make it impossible to record a video without the bitrate being demolished. And this is only half the planned post processing #PirateJam #Gamedev29 Jan 2025 17:13 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgvhr3y4p22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lgrgzcsdew2lPushed a new update to https://d2jam.com to add a comment section to posts. Comments can also get comments on them and they can be liked similar to how posts can Also made likes reflect instantly in the UI even if the backend is still processing #d2jam #gamejam28 Jan 2025 02:49 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgrgzcsdew2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/ategon.dev/post/3lgewgtjw3g2rNew https://d2jam.com update, moderators can now sticky posts which makes them show up above everything else This would be used for main posts such as announcements relating to the event #d2jam #gamejam23 Jan 2025 03:21 +0000at://did:plc:p2aygceqmwp7ubgfbw3ea6ut/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgewgtjw3g2r
