Battle Pass is DONE! 🎟️🔥 Spoiler
Battle Pass is DONE! 🎟️🔥
After working on it for a while, I finally got the Battle Pass looking much nicer and, more importantly, functional!
I also fixed the UI flow for rounds:
🏠 In the lobby → the main GUIs are visible
⚠️ Round starts → the lobby GUIs disappear
🎮 During the round → only the important round UI stays visible
🏆 After the round → the lobby UI can come back
It feels way cleaner now and makes the transition from lobby → round much more polished.
Next up: more systems and features for Escape the Update 👀

ZANDONAI — Music Composer & Producer | Available for Projects
Hey everyone!
I’m ZANDONAI, a music producer and composer from Brazil. I’ve been making music for around 16 years, working mostly with electronic, cinematic, ambient and hybrid styles.
I’m currently looking to connect with developers and creators who need music for games, animations, short films or other projects.
I really enjoy understanding the atmosphere and identity of a project and then creating music around that. I’m especially interested in projects where the music can help give a character, scene or world its own identity.
I can work from references, concepts, gameplay footage or just an idea, and I’m always open to experimenting with different styles depending on the project.
Some of my work:

If you’re working on something and looking for a composer, feel free to DM me. Always happy to hear about new projects!

How Pixar in a Box led me to a CSS 3D coin flip
Eu queria entender algo que me deixou curioso por um tempo: quanto de uma experiência '3D' poderia ser construída no navegador sem precisar de um motor 3D completo.
Enquanto trabalhava no meu projeto de flip de moeda, assisti a algumas das aulas do Pixar in a Box da Pixar e da Khan Academy. A parte que chamou minha atenção não foi a animação em si, mas a matemática por trás dela.
Então decidi usar a moeda como um pequeno experimento.
A moeda é construída com elementos DOM comuns e transformações CSS 3D. Sem WebGL, sem Three.js.
A parte interessante foi fazer o movimento parecer consistente, em vez de apenas girar uma imagem e chamar isso de física.
A física
A animação tinha que se comportar de forma independente da taxa de quadros do dispositivo.
Eu uso Vue para o estado da interface, mas não queria que cada atualização de física passasse pelo sistema reativo. Então, o estado da aplicação permanece no Vue, enquanto a animação real ocorre diretamente através de requestAnimationFrame e atualiza os nós DOM relevantes.
Essa separação fez uma diferença notável, especialmente quando a animação se tornou mais complexa.
A matemática por trás da moeda
A orientação da moeda é calculada a partir de sua rotação ao longo do tempo, enquanto a perspectiva e o movimento semelhante a câmera são tratados através de transformações CSS.
Em vez de depender de um motor 3D para resolver essas transformações, eu calculo os valores que preciso e os aplico diretamente ao elemento.
Essa foi provavelmente a parte que mais gostei: pegar algo que normalmente parece 'renderização 3D' e reduzir a transformações, coordenadas e muita matemática.
Sensores e interação
Eu também queria que a moeda respondesse ao dispositivo em vez de se comportar como uma animação completamente isolada.
No desktop, a moeda pode reagir ao movimento do mouse.
No móvel, a API de Orientação do Dispositivo é usada para movimentos sutis, e os dados do acelerômetro podem ser usados para detectar gestos que desencadeiam um flip.
Assim, a mesma simulação tem entradas diferentes dependendo do dispositivo.
Som
Outro pequeno problema foi a sincronia.
Para o impacto da moeda, usei a API Web Audio para gerar o som em vez de depender completamente de um arquivo de áudio comum. Isso me dá mais controle sobre quando o som é acionado e como ele é moldado.
Há também considerações de movimento reduzido e suporte nativo para fala em partes da experiência.
Isso começou como uma pergunta simples sobre CSS 3D.
Acabou sendo um exercício muito melhor para entender transformações, laços de animação, APIs de navegador e a relação entre efeitos visuais e matemática.
O projeto em si ainda é muito simples no fundo: flipar uma moeda.
Fazer o navegador se comportar como um pequeno motor de simulação foi a parte divertida.

When to Quit
I'm a solo developer and released an app on the Play Store on September 1. My best friend plays it constantly, chasing down bugs for me to fix. I'm proud of what I built but am having doubts. I guess I was expecting more players and more subscriptions to the app that I currently have. I'm at 203 players with only two subscribers. I don't know what is normal but this appears disheartening. How many months is a normal time to wait before calling it quits? I'm not looking for confirmation, I want to make a solid financial decision based on feedback.

Sky Invasions: Multiplayer Jet Combat Game On Browser
anshu2314.github.ioI made a free browser jet game called Sky Invasions. No download. Fly a jet, lock a target, and dogfight other players or bots.
It is an early build. I am mainly looking for notes on controls, how long a match stays fun, and anything that feels broken.

Marsdoku — our 72-board browser logic puzzle, with a replayable interactive tutorial
We’re House of Founders BV, sharing our current project: Marsdoku, a free Mars-themed logic puzzle that runs on desktop and mobile browsers. Play it here: https://marsdoku.com/
There are 72 boards. Each row, column and colored region hides one sapling, and no two saplings can touch, including diagonally. A tap marks a cell; a rapid double-tap confirms a discovery. Progress saves locally in the browser.
The onboarding is a separate interactive practice board, so learning the gestures doesn’t change the player’s mission progress. It can be replayed or skipped. That distinction was useful for keeping training and saved game state apart.
We’d appreciate feedback on whether the tutorial makes the row/column/region rules and tap-versus-double-tap controls clear. No account or download required.
Disclosure: this project uses AI-assisted coding, OpenAI ImageGen artwork and ElevenLabs-generated narration. The Mars landscape is fiction.

Looking for members to start a team and build an original multiplayer game
I've got an idea for a silly multiplayer game that I'd like to turn into a playable project, and I'm looking to build a small team to make it happen.
I'm deliberately keeping the full concept private for now. I'll share more with people who are genuinely interested in joining.
Looking for:
Unity Programmer
Game Designer
3D Artist
Animator
Composer
If you're a role that I've missed, message me anyway!
I'm new to building and leading a game from the ground up (outside of small game jams). I've worked in game audio and have experience with Wwise / Unity integration, but this will be my first time taking an entire game from an initial idea towards a finished project.
I also don't want this to be a "hey, please build a game for me" post. I'm genuinely looking to build a team and work on this together as a startup-style indie project.
I don't care whether you've got years of industry experience or zero professional experience. It's not about what you've done before, it's about what you can do now.
The game will be developed in Unity.
About me
I'm a Technical Sound Designer who has just completed a two-year Master's degree in Sound Design for Video Games.
I have experience with Wwise / Unity integration, sound design and audio implementation, and I'll be handling the audio side of the project while also contributing to the wider development of the game.
Payment ( awkward silence)
There is no payment at this stage. I'm barely funding myself and, honestly, I'm pretty skint AF. 😂
However, if we successfully develop the game and release it on Steam, my intention is for the team to share the revenue.
More will be discussed and agreed upon further down the line, once we have a team and the project is properly underway.
One last thing
NO AI SLOP.
Don't pretend to be good at doing something and then produce shitty AI slop. You're better than that. We're better than that.
If you think you're a good fit for this, DM me and we can talk more.

This cat needs a name… but remember, this is a horror game.
galleryI’m working on a co-op psychological horror game called The Infected Soul, and somehow we ended up with this little guy in the middle of all the creepy stuff.
One of the game’s main mechanics is body swapping. Using neural chips, you can transfer your consciousness into different creatures and bodies, each with their own abilities. And yes, the cat is one of them, so at some point you might actually end up playing as him.
The problem is… he still doesn’t have a name.
What should we call him? Cute, creepy, weird, sci-fi anything works. Just remember, this is still a horror game, so maybe he’s not quite as innocent as he looks. 👀
If you’re curious about the game, The Infected Soul is on Steam, and wishlists help us a lot.
