Indie game dev working on an open-world RPG called Mana Valley.

Sometimes I do little thought projects that turn into smol games.

This morning I learned of the passing of fellow game dev youtuber BWDev. I can't describe how much my heart is broken.

I wanted to share the message his mom left on his bluesky account to help increase it's reach.

"Ben’s motto was “show me a mountain, and I’ll climb it”.

We’re letting people who knew Ben, know, it was his heartfelt wish that anyone who chooses to, might donate a small amount to The Rainforest Trust in his memory.

Thank you
Xxx Karen"

Thank you Ben for the inspiration you gave to people around the world to pursue their dreams. I can't wait to play Lumbermill with you in heaven buddy.

Burger Riot has some random team names it picks from before you set a custom one, but I could use some more. Any ideas?

"Lord of the Fries", "The Grillbillies", "The Frying Dutchmen" etc.

Anyone who has a team name added to the game will be listed in the credits.

I added heatmaps and stats to the slime volleyball game.

Worth running back a community tournament? Larger court and 2v2s?
