@gamemakerstoolkit.com I just bought and am loving Word Play on iOS, it was already a blast on desktop, now I'm worried I might play it too much with it in my phone all the time... But am I going crazy, or should it be "[...] if they're the last tile" at the bottom of this perk description?

I have finally played and defeated Shadow of the Colossus, the PS4 version specifically. What stood out to me most was how empty the open world was compared to modern games. As a result, it feels so much larger and you're really given the chance to take in the awe-inspiring view!

Any time the player has to make a choice, you need to communicate that through UI... I hadn't thought about it until now but I can't think of any part worse than pawn promotion. Aside from maybe the opposing AI as a whole. But... there's definitely some library out there for that already.

The thing about making a chess engine is that you're wrong about what parts are hard. You'll start out thinking "oh no, en passant!" en passant isn't going to be the hard part. It's going to be pawn promotion. You're going to hate pawn promotion.

Thank you to everyone who's played and rated LOCK TIME for the #GMTKjam so far! If you haven't given it a go, I might be a little biased but I think it's a pretty neat game! Pls? 🥺 itch.io/jam/gmtk-202... #gamedev #indiedev
