# Gamedev Making video games, a very fun and extremely time consuming way of spending your time. I have built a couple of games in [[pico8]], but each took a full week. ## Games I Made ![[C8C9C466-9CAB-4EA3-80C2-99F1598DDCBB.png]] - [Picoman Go by wesen3000](https://wesen3000.itch.io/picoman-go) A demake of Hitman Go. The levels are straight out of the original game. - [Bepo the moth by wesen3000, pixelgore](https://wesen3000.itch.io/the-moth) A little platformer that taught me how challenging good level design is. - [gamedevgame by wesen3000](https://wesen3000.itch.io/gamedevgame) A simple clicker game with a ridiculous amount of juice. The fact that I didn't add any sound haunts me to this day. It would have taken me about 10 seconds. ## Techniques - [[Game Juice]] - [[Generative Art]] - [How Townscaper Works: A Story Four Games in the Making](https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/how-townscaper-works-a-story-four-games-in-the-making) ## Books - [[BOOK - Pattern Language for Game Design - Chris Barney]] - [-= Game Development Books =-](https://mrelusive.com/books/books.html) ## Tools - [[Unity]] - [[pico8]] - [[Love]] ## Links - A fantastic resource with tons of talks from GDC: [Youtube GDC Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JB7TSe49lg56u6qH8y_MQ) - Thread with logs of gamedev resources: [https://twitter.com/haydndalton/status/1541104969478246403?s=12&t=wQbreW79qbDpJdjrtJauEQ](https://twitter.com/haydndalton/status/1541104969478246403?s=12&t=wQbreW79qbDpJdjrtJauEQ)
