    If you're revenge-bedtime-maxxing, I recommend starting up an automation game like Satisfactory or Shapez 2 at like 11:30. It'll be 4am before you know it.

    Shapez - #playdate learning project 🟨🧵 I recently got the itch for actually diving into Playdate development, so we hopped into the API and SquidGods channel and went ahead to make a little shooter game. Aiming for a very small scope, just to dip our toes into the system. #gamedev #indiedev #lua

    Shapez 2 is is the game I always wanted factorio to be as someone who doesn't find the combat or resource management super engaging. The sheer range of scale you can pull off even when you don't know what you're doing is crazy. It's like the best parts of the factory genre with nothing I don't like

    *highly* recommend Shapez 2 if you're into automation games. Nowhere near as difficult as Factorio, but thats because throughput ratios are all based around clean, round numbers. Resource patches are infinite, and curves in belts don't affect throughput. Extremely player-friendly game 🙏

    Prototyping a factory automation game with #clojurescript just to see if I can actually make something fun. Also largely thinking of #shapez.io and #factorio as I tinker with this. This little video shows some basic working things like belts (grey) and grabbers (blue). I need to come up with elements to make this actually fun and challenging. I need a goal product and interesting resources as well as more machine mechanics. Lots to think about and prototype, but this is an exciting step!

    It's for the game Shapez 2, where you build little factories on platforms and then connect those platforms together. This is an out-of-game optimization tool that, given a spec, places the machines in the factory, routes the conveyor belts, and writes it to a file I can import.

    Shapez 2 is different but familiar if you played 1. One of the main differences is it's sort of a two-level game. You build small little "factories" just like in 1, with the same machines and operators. But then you can save those as a blueprint, and you can stamp those to make megafactories.

    One of my favorite tablet games went all in on microtransactions, robbing me of my enjoyment of it. In looking for alternatives, I landed on #shapez. I'm really enjoying it, though as the shapes you need to make get more complex, it can make my brain hurt, especially trying to make things compact. I think I also need to look at what I can tear down as I've leveled and upgraded some machines. If you like factory games, you might like this one.

    Playing a bunch of #shapez while sick at home, and just unlocked the quad printer. It's the first programmable element; it can apply color separately to each quadrant of the output, controlled by a set of four wires. However, I think its efficiency is pretty poor, as it consumes 4x paint for each shape. A previous unlock uses only 0.5x paint per shape (as long as you give it two inputs at a time, which is trivial.) White paint has to be assembled from red+green+blue which consumes a bunch of…
