Oklahoma -- Game Dev -- and -- Home Fixer-Upper
I was working on this yesterday:
Going to get the Mighty Knights stuff out before mid March, which is coming up quick.
Been having my youngest son working on fixing various holes that are too difficult or have other problems. We chat over Discord where I give him feedback and sketches of what needs to change:
The online multiplayer is now working. Gonna release this as early access at the same time I put out the Contraption Maker Mighty Knights update - before mid March. https://store.steampowered.com/app/683660/Minigolf_Blast/
This one is done. No more changes. Probably should just make it free.
Been working full-time (actually more than full-time) with my friend who owned Dynamix with me long ago. I only did some of the tech stuff on the Darkforge Dungeon game - no real design work. We also have a few casual games under development that I did program and design. https://buildersandwarriors.com/darkforge-dungeons
After living with us for about 6 years, my daughter, son-in-law, and two granddaughters (6 and 8) bought a home and moved to Oklahoma - 1,662 miles away (thanks Google Maps for the exact number). A very inexpensive house came up for sale in December a few miles from their home. So my wife and I bought. It needs LOTS OF WORK. After doing quite a bit of electrical work (only shocked myself once) now about to start drywall work. My current job title: [strike]Game Developer[/strike] Juggler Kevin

Meant to post an update near the start of January when I arrived in Oklahoma, but the time I spend writing these announcements is time away from doing actually gamedev (and house fix-up work - see below). This will be short and a combined post about all three games.

The team that created the original Incredible Machine® is bringing all of the Rube Goldberg craziness to the modern age.
Solve puzzles involving ridiculous chain reactions full of hamster motors, trampolines, alligators, cats, and so much more. Everything you loved about the original game is back and improved with a new physics engine, high definition art, new parts, and even online multiplayer. Over 200 official puzzles, and a whole bunch of community creations.
Steam Workshop integration allows you to share your creations with the world.
Enjoy hours of puzzle solving with over 200 official puzzles and countless community submissions. Fix broken contraptions with specific parts you are given to accomplish goals like turning on lights, opening fireworks factories, and throwing birthday parties for crocodiles.
Enter the easy to use Maker Lab to make your own puzzles or random contraptions. More than 100 parts ranging from gears and dynamite to bears and cats are at your disposal. Use the layered background tool to create settings for your contraptions to exist in, and then animate them to add some life. There's no part or size limitation to what you want to make. Build as much as you can to bring your computer to its knees.
Javascript modding is built directly into the game. Create custom game types using all of the the Contraption Maker parts and physics as a base. Or start with a published mod and use the Maker Lab to make a new level. Easily share and play other mods in the Steam Workshop.
Play online with friends to build contraptions together in the Maker Lab. Up to 8 players can build together in real time. Currently multiplayer is only in the Maker Lab, there is no cooperative puzzle solving yet.
Share your puzzles and creations with the world through the Steam Workshop. Thousands of Workshop submissions are already waiting to be played.
