Day 3 of @Izkimar's @spawn gauntlet. Solo Leveling meets Pac=Man was one of the strangest projects I have ever worked on. Halfway through I realised how funny it actually was, and decided to play into it.
Play as Pac-Man, a Rank E - LOSER who discovers what it means to become Sung Pac-Woo.
- Has a working equipment system
- Various dungeons that spawn in the open world
- An in-engine cutscene for his awakening
- ARISE mobs in dungeons to create your army of ghosts
In the words of Savi, Pac-Man and Solo Leveling are actually just the same story, the weakest in the dungeon/maze inverts the power dynamic, the hunters become the hunted.

Day 3 of the @Spawn Gauntlet. it's almost 3 AM and I just built a game where Pacman eats his way through a dark city, levels up like an anime protagonist, and raids a demon dungeon. I need to go to bed.
Pacman x Solo Leveling became Shadow Gate.
you're a tiny blue pac-ball bouncing through a procedurally generated dark city. eat shadow pellets, dodge ghost hunters, chain hops for momentum, rank up from pathetic to god-tier.
hit a rank threshold and the game freezes. an icy blue system notification slides in: "You have acquired the qualifications to become a Shadow Warrior. Will you accept?" one button. no decline.
then later a Shadow Gate tears open. step through into an infernal dungeon, demons hunting you down, a countdown ticking, orbs to collect. clear it and earn new abilities. die and lose everything.
if you've ever wondered what Pacman would be like as an RPG grinder, then that was pretty much the vision I ran with.
Day 4 tomorrow. back at the Altar. ⚔️

Day 1 submission for @Izkimar's @spawn gauntlet
Stardew Valley meets DOOM was an interesting one, a lot of fun to make this!
- Gameplay loop inspired by Stardew Valley
- Plant and tend to crops
- Fish in the lake
- Visit the town and "talk" to the locals
- Most importantly, don't worry about the 6th tool.

@Natasha_Crain we need your son on x to follow along for updates!

Last month, I shared a bit here about how my 17-year-old son has a passion for video game development and has spent hundreds of hours over the last 9 months creating his first game for release. Well, I want to let you know that Nitro Turtles is now out!
It's a party racing game (kind of like Mario Kart) and has 9 courses, a speedrun mode with online leaderboards, and split screen/online multiplayer. My husband and I played all 9 courses against each other last night and IT WAS SO FUN!
I'm so proud of him for the accomplishment. He has a really demanding junior year schedule of AP/Dual Credit/Honors classes, has straight As, and somehow managed to develop this all on his own out of pure passion. He started teaching himself programming in 3rd grade and just developed his skills from there. Nitro Turtles in the culmination of all the subsequent years of self-driven learning.
If you or your kids play computer games, I would love for you to check the game out on Steam!

@eikedrescher Yes, but I want to develop games with ecosystems (databases) and multiplayer features.

what if building games felt like playing?
Thomas Ricouard@Dimillian
why play video games when you can build video games?

welcome to the team!!

My dream has always been simple: anyone should be able to create any 3D world or game directly in the browser. For the first time, I believe it's becoming possible, that's why I'm joining @spawn to help build the future of the game industry. We believe AI + WebGPU will unlock an era where creation isn't owned by a few engines. Spawn will acquire Three.js Blocks and merge Blocks' advanced WebGPU features into its renderer. We also plan to open source many features this year. Three.js Blocks users will be immediately fully refunded, thank you for believing in my work. My OSS contributions (tools + Three.js) will only get stronger (Spawn already has PRs in Three.js). Utsubo remains strong and will continue operating.
