Aotearoa, New Zealand-based studio making Shape Sender Deluxe! 🟡 🟧 ⭐️ ⭐️ Wishlist here ⭐️ s.team/a/2976470
Without @dinopoloclub.bsky.social being cool as hell, I wouldn't have been able to make Shape Sender Deluxe and start @deadteapot.games. Side projects grow the industry!
Chris Kerr@kerrblimey.bsky.social · last wk.NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?
We've been pretty quiet, finishing video games and such, but here's some cool stuff our friends have launched! @desktopexplorergame.com is AMAZING and also has a cute(?) mascot and well made puzzles. @eatpantgames.com also just launched and is simply delightful! Go check 'em out!
sorry to a few specific users in our Discord who loved sneaking shapes in the back ways
Tana ⭐ pls wishlist Shape Sender Deluxe@tanamakes.games · 4w agoand this looks like such a tiny win but I finally fixed a bug this but that's been there for literal years and re-enforced the pipes 💪
I'm speaking at NZGDC this year! Something I love seeing is people just showing off the tools that made their games, so I'm doing the same! This session will be an interactive project tour of all the random bits and pieces that helped make Shape Sender Deluxe ⭐
Shape Sender Deluxe, by @deadteapot.games Redirect incoming shapes to their designated exits using gravity/physics and placing objects and mechanisms onto the field. The object physics loop has a satisfying connection to the game's music

Shape Sender Deluxe Launches On PC And Nintendo Switch In Late 2026

This will mean very little to most people but: I wrote a script to group by level, arrange by pack, and colour code by purpose my @yarnspinner.dev script nodes and I'm proud of it 😌
Congrats to our Dear Villagers publisher [siblings?/cousins?] at Lifeline Games for the release of Deer & Boy - we can't wait to play it!
Shape Sender Deluxe used to have a scoring system to use as few tools as possible. BUT it stopped people just creatively *playing* with the systems and instead changed it to be about optimization which was less aligned with the game vision.
Game Maker's Toolkit@gamemakerstoolkit.com · last mo.Game designers! Tell me about a feature / mechanic / thing you added to your game... but then you later removed it and that made the game better!
The final episode of Dev Plays Community Levels is up! ⭐ It's been super fun seeing all the creative things that people have been making in the community - it's delightful, surprising, and inspiring 😍 so thank you to everyone who made a level! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vp1L...
