  • Hi! I’m J (or Jacob), and I’m a hobbyist game dev. This is a blog for me to put some more in-depth devlogs as I work, share progress, talk about random process stuff/small victories/challenges, and maybe make some tutorials.

    –

    All finished games (for now) can be found at symfo.itch.io:

    • i’ll be seeing you (free, in-browser): A tiny game made in one day in bitsy, about the final days of the Mars rover Opportunity.
    • Balancing Acts (free, in-browser): Made for My First Game Jam: Winter 2023, a simple balancing game inspired by my experiences as a trans man. My first game with Unity.
    • Drawfee Stream Simulator (free, in-browser): A Drawfee fangame with silly sound effects and droppable items. My first game with Godot.

    In-progress:

    • Joust clone: a skill-building exercise to learn about player movement/control, platformer mechanics, and enemy AI.
    • Controller utility: a program to introduce new gamers to using a controller, including familiarizing them with button layouts and common uses.
