I spent most of yesterday planning for a couple of games that should hopefully pad out the month ahead.

Disclaimer : All titles and game ideas described below are subject to change because I'm absolutely terrible at sticking to plans.

Stack to Enlightenment

This game is a Tetris-style stacking game, because obviously I was going to make a Tetris style stacking game. I mean, come on. You can't give me a word like Stack, and not expect me to make a block-stacking game.

This is what it currently looks like, and the game is titled "Stack to Enlightenment". Or at least, that's the current name/style. Whether it'll be like that once it's done is anybody's guess, but that's what it is right now!



It's a mouse/touch based game, which is making me wonder if I should make it a Shoebox game. .. But then I already have another game planned for Shoebox, anyway, so that'd be too many Shoebox games!!!
Plus, the mechanics feel a lot like Connect 4, and I made a Connect-4 mechanic based game in Shoebox a couple of months ago.
.. Let's switch things around a bit, eh?

Card Stack

The second game in active development is something to do with cards. I'm thinking a Solitaire game with a stack of cards. Because "stack" and "cards" go well together, right?
This one's very much early days, and I've not even coded enough for a screenshot yet, but the gameplay mechanics seem to be functional enough in my head to make it worthwhile.
I think.
.. maybe!

I'm not sure this'll be as good of a game as it seems in my head. It might require a myriad of rules displayed onscreen or something. Might get messy!
I'll be trying my best to keep things neat and tidy, but it might end up being a GUI horror show!

.. No screenshot for this one, yet, by the way. It hasn't even begun, and for the meantime is a few notes jotted into the Apple Notes app!

Stacker

Again, no screenshot, because nothing's even started yet.

This is a JSE game in not-yet-development status, which is going to be something like a rocket stacking boxes or something? I'm really not sure what path this one will take, but I'd love to add some sort of physics to this one.
I'm not sure I can do physics very well in JSE, so .. Maybe this one might end up being a Browsercade game?
I haven't done a Browsercade game in quite a while.


As always, comments in the comments or the Discord, and let me know if there's a specific direction you'd like to see me go with the month's theme.

... Now get back to work, Jay!
You've a lot of games to make!!!
