Co-author of the proto-MMO, Avatar (1979) on PLATO. Now returning to my roots. Currently deploying turn-based space strategy, Solar Dominion. Next up: new RPGs. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #retrogaminghttps://bsky.app/profile/pastime-games.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/pastime-games.bsky.social/post/3mb2s3sbo4k2rSome unintentional testing when I left a browser in the game overnight (2,000+ rounds). The AIs interact with one eventually taking control. I may let it run a while longer to verify that the remaining AI NPC will conquer the player. solar-dominion.pastime.games. #gamedev #retrogaming #solodev28 Dec 2025 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:z4wezs7psovqt24pitndrirp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mb2s3sbo4k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/pastime-games.bsky.social/post/3mayzbo5xnc2qLooking for websites and other channels that promote web games, especially for hobbyists. The showcase channel in the Discord site for Gamedev.js, but more organized with tagging. Already on itch.io. Kongregate? Others seem to have a lot of advertising. Suggestions? #gamedev #retrogaming28 Dec 2025 00:00 +0000at://did:plc:z4wezs7psovqt24pitndrirp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mayzbo5xnc2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/pastime-games.bsky.social/post/3maf5tg5pq223Adding a little juiciness with laser fire and explosions!

Alas, the top channels don't have great API access options to help streamline your efforts.
