    Project mention: Custom game handler wont extract | /r/nucleuscoop | 2023-04-18

    I downloaded the minecraft java edition game handler and modified the .js file to fit my game (minetest) before zipping it again and renaming the .zip file to .nc. Now when I want to extract the newly created handler to connect it to the game binary, it gets stuck at 100% extracting.

    Project mention: How can it take to learn love2d? | /r/love2d | 2023-01-17

    There's this nice tutorial made by the bytepath developer. It gives you a good ground for you to build your own stuff, it teaches you how to handle scenes, asset management, and object creation, as well as some game mechanics, but you can skip this part. You can also download other people love2d games, extract the files and see how they did things, I do this a lot when I want to know how to implement certain mechanic.

  • SNKRX

    A replayable arcade shooter where you control a snake of heroes.

    Project mention: How do I make money off Love2D development? | /r/love2d | 2023-04-20

    If it helps, here's a devlog for a reasonably successful game built in love2d.

  • EmptyEpsilon

    Open source bridge simulator. Build with the SeriousProton engine.

    Project mention: Thorium – A Starship Bridge Simulator | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-03-01

    Thorium is great; it's closer to a virtual tabletop for starship RPGs than a standalone game, built around creating interactive narratives. That sets it apart from the more straightforward game-style bridge sims, like Artemis[1] and EmptyEpsilon[2], which have scriptable scenarios with narrative elements but have more fundamentally game-focused mechanics.

    All of these get used in a lot of fun ways for live events beyond their design, too. Thorium's "family tree" comes from interactive events at planetariums, and EmptyEpsilon, being open-source with an HTTP API and game-master screen for directly manipulating live game state and pretending to be ships, became a popular front-end for European LARPs.[3]

    Project mention: Terminology check for an article, are most video games considered closed systems? | /r/gamedev | 2023-03-03

    The modders don't get to make much money from this. The Patreon for the Azeroth mod (currently working on a version for CK3) is showing anemic revenues: https://www.patreon.com/thesomething . But is there more going on?
