Since I've been tinkering a bit with Haxe and the HaxeJam 2024 game jam was coming up I decided to enter. The theme was "SpellCraft" which frankly left me a bit stumped. I decided to spend the day outside in the garden then lo and behold I ended up making a gardening game for the game jam.
The game doesn't have a win condition and is sort of just a chill game. It's a bit bare bones since it's a jam game but I'm fairly happy with where I got the UI and plant placement systems.
During my sabattical I'm trying to tie up and finish all the loose ends with respect to various side projects I've had going. One is to give a big update to this website and the static site generator I authored to make this site.
So without further ado the update is now live. The games section, art section and level design section have all had overhauls. The art section now has a dedicated page per entry, the games page is sorted and presented differently now. This is also the case for the level design page.
I've also added a few new entries to various sections
Soon I'll add a few more games and I'm planning to write an article about the static site generator I authored to make this site (and why I bothered to make my own). Also the programming section still needs a pretty much total rework.
I recently released a first playable build of GatoRace. A semi-procedural boat action game where you run away from a pack of gators while collecting coins.
