A cooperative tower defense game about managing resources and building connections. Power nodes to expand your area, and power tools to defend it. A full game built in a 30-day span, with all modelling, code, music, and artwork done personally.
Had a great time jamming in every hour I could for this one. Photon, a sponsor of the jam, is a game networking focused software company and being able to use their products and resources made this game possible. All models were intentionally kept simple and stylized, resulting in a cohesive look with little time spent on art. With a jam theme of 'connections', I was immediately drawn to conduits, circuits and power. I designed the game to require connections to progress, and to allow more connections to equal more firepower (and more enemies).
In one of the warehouses there's a truck you and your buddies can drive around. I don't think any of the judges found it.

Real Frog Mugs Fully automated mug company 2023

Real Frog Mugs is a mug company with nobody on the payroll. Each run starts with two words pulled out of a hat and ends, a few API calls later, with a brand-new species of frog printed on a mug, listed for sale and advertised on Instagram. Nobody designs it, approves it or posts it. Every frog is guaranteed real.*
The question behind it: how do you get an AI to do one job over and over, the same way every time, with no one checking its work? Here the answer was a chain of small single-purpose scripts, each handing a plain file to the next, and one log file that quietly grew to 2.7 GB.
The line turned out 132 frogs and has sold exactly one mug: the Mudskipper, to a fan in Washington.
*None of them are real. Except the Mudskipper, which is real, and a fish.
- Draw two wordsPython pulls one trait and one adjective from two lists of a hundred, say “Rainbow-colored” and “Cryptic.” That's 10,000 possible frogs.
- Invent the frogGPT is shown two made-up frogs, then told “your turn.” It comes back with a name and a field-guide entry.
- Photograph itDALL·E gets the entry plus “nature documentary camera, muted and natural tones.” It does not always listen.
- Press the artPillow stacks the photo over the name and caption. That's the mug art.
- Make the mugPrintify puts the art on a 15 oz mug, the script picks the most flattering camera angle, and the listing goes live on Etsy.
- Post the adThe photo and caption go up on @realfrogmugs, usually while everyone involved is asleep.
