❄️ Chilled-out gamedev with Tiled

Familiar with Tiled, the legendary open source map editor? I love it. For years I've wanted to build a project using it, and now with Pixel Washer, I get to. Bliss.

In the most recent Make the Game episode, I talked about maaaaybe streaming some game dev. But timing is hard to figure out so instead I made a video:

📺 Watch the video

This video is all about the new basketball level in Pixel Washer. In about 20 minutes I add collision, "shiners", and grime to all the map's entities. Come hang out while I tell stories about my game dev process:

• What makes this game special?
• Any fun stories or wild moments during development?

🎨 Hand-drawn illustrations available

For the annual art event Inktober this year, I drew a handful of illustrations from my book How to Make a Video Game All By Yourself. Now they can be yours, for a price so low it would make a freelance illustrator scold me:

1. 🎮 Same Game (page 13)
2. 🏔 You Are Here (page 169)
3. 🍔 Finish, Improve (page 183)
4. 👁️ Please the Senses (page 99)

Each illustration comes with a signed paperback book (only 5 of those left, BTW). Here's what they look like:

There's only 1 of each, because I only drew 1 of each. So get 'em while they're hot!
