GUYS

Have I told you about the game I've been making??

Apparently not because there's only a single post about it on my entire account! Shame on me! Bad marketing! BAD! ANYWAY!

It's a chill gardening game on smart planting/ plant cooperation. So how to make smart decisions to get more out of your garden. The alpha is out now and you can play it!! FOR FREE

------->>>> PLAY IT HERE <<<<<------

But only on desktop. Mobile version will come but it's not quite there yet

Tell me what you think! Tell me your ideas for what to add owo

It's small It's simple but i'm proud of it uwu It was complicated for I am an artist not a programmer

So thank you so so much to @teunu for saving my ass when it came to programming.

This game was my graduation project and I'm continuing it over the next few years to hopefully make it a bigger thing. I worked in cooperation with the lovely Lindy Damen, CEO of EVRgreen Studio who make edutainment games (educational entertainment) about nature and environment and stuff.

The Rayman Petits Filous stickers by Yoplait have finally been scanned and are now documented on RayWiki!

I'm so happy to have preserved these precious little gems from 2003 in my childhood notebook dedicated to Rayman! You can now enjoy them in greater picture clarity! :D

Feel free to use them to teach very valuable lessons to your children! Such as eating pasta with a machete, identifying dairy products such as fries and sausages, putting their pants on with a dye, or to play in sandbags! Make sure your kids try the famous games Bagcraft and Terrasack! :P

...Oh, and look everyone! It's my original character, Purple Globox! 🙃

(DO NOT STEAL! 😡)

Note that my collection is not the complete set of the Rayman Yoplait stickers, so if you have some yourself, please share them with the community! 🙏

I love when they make kids shows about weird little neurodivergent kids. You're doing great, Sid the Science Kid. I love you, Dora the Explorer. Rock on, Doc McStuffins. Go girl go, Dino Dana. Inspirational.

Bill is cool and all but im pretty sure Ms. Frizzle transed my gender so I gotta give this to her. Also there was that cool Magic School Bus dinosaur game for the computer that i played a lot

The magic school bus video games were true works of art that would never be made today and I’m pissed at how video games used to have a large edutainment sector and that just. Died. In the mid 2000s. I learned so much from educational video games.

GARDEN PEOPLE TALK TO ME!

I’m looking for people to interview for my game design graduation project.

I'm making a small game to educate and inspire people about Food Forests. The start-up game company eVRgreen Studio is my client for this, so it's gonna be all about nature and gamification for a sustainable society.

The game will be aimed at Millennials and Gen X with vegetable gardens big and small. If you’re in that age group and you’ve got a garden, let’s talk! If you know people who match that description, send them my way!

The project is still in its baby shoes, but that's the best time to talk to the people who are gonna play the game later on. Your input helps me decide on how we're gonna present the game, what the gameplay should look like, and what kind of art style I should go for.

I’m working on a form rn as well, but I definitely want to actually talk to some people. If you're interested, just drop into my dms.

'Mario is Missing!'

[SNES] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [1994]

"lt has to be said, if I you are a bright alert young chap/chapette then there is a possibility that this game might not be for you. Unless of course you have a younger sibling. Mario Is Missing is a fun game to play. I enjoyed it immensely but then I didn’t shell out £45 for it. The point I am skirting here is that you shouldn’t buy this as a fun filled action packed Mario adventure. It isn’t. What is it then? It’s fun, it’s entertaining and it’s educational. That last word doesn’t tempt you does it? If you are a parent and you want to introduce your children to the joys of playing a Mario game they can handle, buy this game. If you have a younger brother or sister who is fascinated by your machine but just can’t handle it yet buy this game. Also, if you want to extend the range of your games cupboard and at the same time impress you parent(s) about how concerned you are about your general knowledge buy this game. It is fun, taxing and has opened up a whole new genre for Super Nintendo games. Always a headache for reviewers." ~Simon Kirrane, Super Action

Hello!

New oc just dropped!

Periodic Equation Writing, a old learning program from 1994.

Though his company went bankrupt, and left his copyright... gone. The company deleted any traces of their website, and he's been lost media until... now! He was found in an old forum using the way back machine and was distributed back across the internet, welcomed to the modern age!

Periodic was mostly made to give kids free tutoring in school, from grade K-12. Science, ELA, and Mathematics. Though... he is immensely disturbed by the change of the internet.
