I've had such an amazing response to Long Jump. Over 250 daily active users so far. Long Jump is a word game where you have to travel as far down the board as possible using only 30 letters (you can pick up more along the way). www.longjump.co.za

🇿🇦 Making games & interactive animation at https://www.studiobo.io/
Last night I attended a design event with about 100 creatives or so...
We all know the internet is constantly changing, and we’re always on the lookout for ways to make content more engaging (and keep people sticking around longer). One big trend that’s been picking up steam lately is interactive content made in @rive.app www.studiobo.io/blog/rive-to...
Rive to Survive
We’ve been exploring Rive, a tool that lets you create lightweight, interactive animations that keep people engaged way longer than a static image or a simple video ever could.

Making a fully responsive interactive explainer for our studio in @rive.app 🤠
Learning how to use @gamemaker.io and it's a lot of fun! Still got lots to do but it's been rad to use visual scripting. Coding still absolutely breaks my brain but hopefully just by doing things I will get better.
I loved this short blog post by @grumpygamer.com about Vertical Slices. grumpygamer.com/vertical_sli...
Stressed day? Break some glass. Angry at your partner? Break some glass. Hate glass bottles? Break some glass. Outraged at the lack of human empathy in this capitalist world we live in? Break some glass. Made completely in @rive.app Break some glass: richardbolland.itch.io/breakglass

I made a game about bees🐝🥵 in *8 hours* using @rive.app at the Super Friendship Arcade Jam. Concept to deployment, with no code. Whoop whoop! Special thanks to Ben from @teamlazerbeam.bsky.social who made the sick-ass music and @damousey.bsky.social who is making an alt-controller for this game!

An old but truly timeless piece. I really miss everynone's work.

Over the last couple of years I've found it super hard to concentrate on doing one thing. The only way I get through stuff is by doing 20 things and eventually everything gets done. Perhaps a hangover from constant notifications and distractions that's got my brain working this way?
I made a new tutorial in @rive.app! Learn how to make an interactive health bar in under 30 minutes! If you make something cool, please share it with me. I'd love to see it! Watch the tutorial here: youtu.be/xUJMLw8L99M <3

Alrighty Bluesky peeps! Kings & Castles has officially launched on @itch.io ! hellostudiobo.itch.io/kings-castles We would really appreciate a share, rating, comment, download or all of the above if you can. Thanks a ton for your support.
STUDIO BIG DAY OUT! We had a great time in Elgin soaking up the sun, swimming, canoeing, table tennising, eating and napping. We're ready for you 2025!
Really stoked with what we've been able to come up with over the last 2 years. We're getting so close to making something that hopefully resonates with a lot of people :) The joy of making them keeps us going!
Paper prototyping continued! This time with the help of a new map and some card sleeves. So so quick to change values and mechanics on the fly.
