Just wrapped up Fennel Jam 1! I present: DOINK! A micro autobattler roguelite.

Really happy with how this turned out, I think it could be awesome with some more content and improvements to the mechanics.

Let me know what you think! https://mattroelle.itch.io/doink

#fenneljam1 progress! Core game loop works. I think I'm calling it "You and what army?" It's an autobattler roguelite, like all of my other projects.

Beginning day 3 of #fenneljam1 ! Feeling good about my progress so far.

I've got most of the basic gameplay elements built, so now it's time to start turning it into something that's actually fun to play and not just a physics toy.

Might work on some graphics today?

Well I am failing at step 1. FPS is holding steady at 300+ with 1200 entities that have basic AI + a box2d body.

Love2D's built in physics (box2d) + ECS + LuaJIT = you have to try really hard to write slow code

Any fellow #fenneljam1 participants out there?! I think I'm slowly settling on my idea... How's everyone else's going?

My goal with this jam is to learn how to write good performance intensive Lua. I plan to summarize my experience in a blog post.

I am using the tiny-ecs framework again. Got that online this morning.

Step 1: See how much crap I can get into the ECS world / onto the screen until my PC explodes. Will report back.

I'm not sure if doing a 7 day game jam at the same time i'm finishing my 8-month long full-time solo game project at the same time i'm taking on a new consulting gig was a good idea.

Actually, feeling very fortunate to be doing exactly what I want in life right now.

@nasser Finally got around to playing with 8fl! I'm going to try to use it to compose the music for my game project.

I wrote a bit about why I think Fennel is my new favorite language.

It feels like a really game-dev oriented language and has really increased my productivity lately.
