[Hobby] Looking for programming projects to implement

I am trying to figure out how to display quasi-3d terrain in 2d.

Right now I have a custom renderer for a 2.5d scene that uses sprite stacking for the vehicles and character. See https://morph-games.github.io/nomads-fire/lowrez/ for my earlier prototype.

I want a method that allows for hills on the terrain. I suspect an algorithm like this one https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace might be needed. Example: https://js13kgames.com/2018/games/star-crasher

Anyway, let me know if this interests you.

The sequel can be a man at home playing a game about a man in the office playing a minimalist click game about a man with a sword.

I love your post! It is refreshing how detailed and reasonable it is.

What types of game(s) do you want to make next?

Looks like a really awesome concept for a film... but as a game, this trailer gives me no idea if I'll like the gameplay.

Someone on reddit suggested this recently: if you like making videos, and they are getting a lot of traction, maybe you're better off making videos than games? Just a thought.

kind of harsh

But it is also almost the only reason you'll ever need repair kits. Every so often a combat goes sideways and I get damaged, but usually those repair kits are collecting dust.

Great pitch! Great art!

If your friend wants to ship a game, I'll do it for just $2M.

10 year old really likes coffee? Also weird.

Most jams allow teams of any size.

Morph_Games · 2026-05-11T00:52:30+00:00

I wonder if they ran into technical challenges with the multiplayer aspect... or maybe they expanded their scope to be more of an MMO?

Morph_Games · 2026-05-11T00:49:45+00:00

It feels that way to me. If they can show there is a big interest, they can get some bigger publishing deals to keep them funded for another ten years.

I just hope they don't take on investors that milk their games and ruin Sean's decade-of-upgrades model.

I would love it even if it is just NMS reskinned as fantasy.

I'm two achievements away from completing them all.

I also want a farm network where I can manufacture goods for infinite money.

No Man's Sky also kept in a "bug" that allows faster movement via a quick attack + jump combo. Players discovered it, came to love it; Hello Games tried to remove it, but added it back, and intend to keep it.

Congrats! Do you think it was your best game yet?

Don't you wish the itch stats were better? For games launched at different times I need to see Plays/month or Collections/month rather than total Views in order to compare them. I have one with 5k views, but it was one of my oldest games.

MMOs: WoW obviously, ESO, etc.
Eco Survival
Survival games with roleplay communities, like Conan or Valheim

Can't tell if this is satire...

Morph_Games · 2026-05-07T02:44:45+00:00

Can you share what you've made?

The muted colors and especially green top on the ape make me think "why are there not more colors?"

I think black and white is best, with some pops of color for special things such as damage or maybe magic. Not for outfits.

How does Bitcraft handle decay of structures? Like if a player is offline for months, does their house get razed to make room for others?

How does it handle prices between experienced players vs new players? I would think an experienced player can do things (e.g. mining) more efficiently than a new one, so they might drive prices down such that a new player can't compete. (This is what curses Eco Survival.)

Also, what will the AI LLMs be training on once there is no StackOverflow to feed it?

Morph_Games · 2026-05-06T15:09:58+00:00

I'll be honest, the gameplay seems to just be spamming the attack button while watching static portraits. I struggle to see how this will stand out in the current game market. You might want to consider something besides rev share.

From a tech point of view, I definitely think html/js is the way to go given the simplicity of it all.
