@v the guffaw I guffawed! This looks so fun!

@v just posted my first one, really excited to see where this goes. The only thing I struggled with was the lack of crop and rotate options, that's easy to get around with more intentional design on my part though, I was just seeing how quickly I could throw together something functioning.

@BreoganHackett hah, yes, i saw! i got lost in the infinite fur vortex.

and yes, i want to add both of those, as you can imagine! the perils of finishing a project...

Hyphinett

@v haha totally fair. I haven't worked on any in depth tools dev since my work on a flatgame unity plugin. I can't imagine trying to deploy something like this cross platform. Keep up the great work, hope lots of people will pay for it and you can keep it supported long term.

v

@BreoganHackett thank you - and also, of course, thank you on your work on flatgame stuff back then

dust

@v any chance it might land on F-Droid?

v

@sifr will have a look! i plan to put out a naked apk at some point, but idk if i'll get it set up as part of a regular release process.

@v
In my game programming course I defined the minimal game as something that has three things:

1. input
2. time
3. output

This game fits the definition.

@v
Example of a game: "indian lots"

computer turn: "give me a number"

player turn: <some number>

computer turn: "<some number * 1000>, you lost by a lot"

@v This is GREAT, especially: "It’s an obstacle to fire up your computer, and maybe you don’t have one.” 100000% YES THIS. Plus, some people work on computers all day and don't want to make games on them (me!) Some people are too young to have computers (kids!). I'm absolutely thrilled about this, can't wait to try it out!

waferbaby

@v Congrats, friend! Well done!

v

@d thank you! feel proud of it.

Jag Talon

@v sooo cool i cant wait to try it out!

Vector Hugo

I would love to see #Downpour being available at @fdroidorg and #AuroraStore. Do you @v think that's possible?

Vector Hugo

@v I'm quite sure that Aurora would love to spread it, even if F-Droid has to refuse Downpour for that reason.

@v now please release homecoming so i can make two games at the same time

Colin Gourlay

@v congrats on the launch. This is wonderful. I can’t wait to share it with my nieces and nephew. I just know they’ll make some weird shit, and I’m here for it

Streamboat Ouellette

@v this reminds me... dug up some vague memories I have... of making games using the Gameboy camera photo gallery??

Jon "The Nice Guy" Spriggs

@v I *love* this. Downpour is just lovely and I can't wait to see more of what people will create with it!
