In Star Spark you battle your way through a tournament using combos and a deck made of attack, defense, and support actions. I recently added a "continue" prompt to the tournament bracket. Wishlist and join the playtest on Steam! 💥 s.team/a/3639950 #GameDev #IndieGame #WishlistWednesday
A starter pack? With cool devs and other cool people? With room for more? Sound great right? 😁 There's still room in our starter pack so comment if you'd like to be added or have any suggestions on who to add!! 🙌✨ #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #Gamedev #Indiedev go.bsky.app/9LLrBM4

First day of the new job went well, mostly a lot of set up, pairing with the current dev, and learning more about the application I'll be working on. I did manage to squeeze in enough Star Spark / #gamedev time to add a little continue prompt on the tournament bracket 🙂

Keep thinking I should be working on Star Spark since I won’t be able to as much soon, but also keep thinking I should chill since the job starts Monday. So anyway, I’m out having a beer and burger about it.
Listen to me and CJ talk about old games, the PS3 store closure (and how much it'll suck), emulation, and stuff like prepping for an all-digital future. We had such a good time chatting. Give this episode a listen (links in the blog post)!
