@blacksheepZA: still keen to do focused feedback for Plush Punch?

@Stray_Train: keen to talk about "tweening through code" this month?

Maybe we can also get some of the SA Game Jam to show off their games?

blacksheepZA

@francoisvn it depends entirely on whether the controller survives the journey to and from A MAZE :P

Stray_Train

@francoisvn still keen yeah :)

upside

If there's interest, I'd be quite keen to give a talk on a couple of things I've learned about procedural generation (general principles rather than specific technical stuff).

Bakakami

Hi there
My name is Nicholas. I would like to show a 2D platformer that my friend and I have been working on, the game is called Deathless Dungeon. Thanks. :D

blacksheepZA

@francoisvn unfortunately Plush Punch didn't survive the entire festival let alone the trip back. We won't have time to repair it for the community night but it will definitely be up and running for a future Super Friendship Arcade if the SFA crew are keen :)

Bakakami

Also, I would prefer one of the focused feedback slots if possible.
