Aspeon (7)

I have no context for whether these numbers are good

Ludum Dare just announced results. I was a little worried about hitting the 20-rating threshold to getting an official rank since I was under it for a while, but I got enough in the last few days:

 
Overall: 321st (3.773 average from 24 ratings)
Fun: 218th (3.786 average from 23 ratings)
Innovation: 70th (4.023 average from 24 ratings)
Theme: 596th (3.619 average from 23 ratings)
Graphics: 911th (2.833 average from 23 ratings)
Humor: N/Ath (2.269 average from 15 ratings)
Mood: 968th (2.842 average from 21 ratings)
 
That's out of 1479 entrants in the Jam section (some of which presumably didn't make the 20 threshold)... so I feel like top 100 is probably something to be proud of?

Cohost repost: Steam Nextfest June 2024

(Reposted from Cohost: June 14, 2024. Publishing now that there's a new Next Fest up and some of these games have come out, so I can add some followup thoughts. For a bunch of these the thoughts would just be "Yup, this came out but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet," so imagine me writing that a bunch.)

Gone through a bunch this week, but now that the Talos Principle 2 DLC and 14 Minesweeper Variants 2 are out I'll be switching energy to those. I figure I'll dump my findings so far:

Website update

(Crossposted to Cohost)

Actually put some stuff on the homepage. Not a lot there yet, but it's a little different presentation of the games I've made. It's handspun HTML since I don't feel like learning another site generator tool: last time I was doing this <center> was still a tag.

I also made an 88x31 button. It might get updated later, but I don't mind people using this version:

Animated button for Aspeon
Static button for Aspeon

(The rounded corners is a Publii thing, haven't dug around the tool enough to figure out how to fix it.)

Letting the void shout back

(crossposted to Cohost)

The Publii setup for the blog works well enough. Tried to get comments set up, and Publii has a couple plugins for various third-party commenting services, but it looks like I'd need a $5/month Neocities subscription to actually do it. Given how few comments I ever got on Cohost, I don't think it'd be worth it just for that.
