Game Jam Update!
The maze is growing... and so are the obstacles. 🚧
Spent the morning refining the collision detection for my entry. It’s amazing how much 10 pixels of space can change the entire feel of a level! Still a lot of work to do, but the core loop is officially alive.
Stay tuned for more! #GameJam #ContraSpace
10 pixels making or breaking a level is such a real game dev experience. Core loop being alive is a huge milestone!
This is cool
Thanks!

I tested Opus 5.5 and had it build an arcade game in Unity using the CLI and Claude Code.
The game is called Heatwave and is a quick and fun little police chase game.
Of all the games I've made, this is actually the one I enjoy to test the most.
I'm terrible at it, but it's fun.
Wanting another run even when you are bad at it is a pretty good sign. What took more iteration in Heatwave, the driving feel or the police chase behavior?
We can't wait to kick off the Rive Halloween Challenge 🎃
We're challenging you to build haunted UI, eerie shader effects, 3D scenes, and spooky games using two of our newest tools: the Rive CLI and GPU Canvas.

Day 17/30: COMMON ROOM
What if a library card could reveal belonging instead of simply proving access?
I built COMMON ROOM, a speculative membership system for the fictional North Quarter Public Library.
Instead of asking members to choose an identity or complete a personality quiz, the system lets their actual behavior inside the library leave the evidence.
Read in the Stacks → leave a margin.
Make in the Workshop → leave a registration mark.
Follow a question through the Index → leave a reference path.
Explore the Quarter → leave a civic trace.
Those traces gradually build a unique Member Record.
The card remembers in layers. Its physical Accession Aperture later becomes a lens into hidden library memory, and completed cards can optionally become part of a Living Collection that begins to reveal the shape of the neighborhood itself.
The project eventually became a system about:
BEHAVIOR → EVIDENCE → OBJECT → MEMORY → COMMUNITY
And the line that defined the whole thing:
You don’t receive a card. You accumulate one.
I also built the launch film around the same visual logic instead of doing a traditional product walkthrough using the card’s traces, layers and aperture as the motion language.
Would love feedback on one thing in particular:
Does the relationship between behavior, the physical card, and belonging read clearly without needing the concept explained first?
