Day 1 of replicating those shitty mobile ads using Box3D: added the basic gameplay loop and scoring system, it's working fine! I am using the Box3D WASM port from isaacmason inside Omma AI

@Superguigui @isaac_mason_ @omma_ai This is an actual game on ateam as well, donut county i think

@Superguigui @isaac_mason_ @omma_ai there are tons of clones of this format, but yeah I am not planning on selling it 😅

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Now make it multiplayer and bigger holes can eat/absorb smaller holes. Then put the map in a city environment for more destructive fun

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai hahaha like the good old

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai donut country wasn't shitty and already exists

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Those shitty mobile game stole the game mechanic from the indie game Donut County.

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai I fucking hate the level up version of this genre. Boring ass gameplay.

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai true, but addictive like candy crush

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Yeah but why not make it grow as it eats 🥲 I don't get the level up version

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai The OG was Donut Country tho 😥

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai I did the same thing but I did the "Arrows Gallery" game and tried to put my own little spin on it. Made it so you can send multiple arrows at once and other little rules to make getting a higher score a thing.

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Just spent the last year at a studio that makes one of the biggest ones of these games. Looking good! Seeing this gave me an extremely sudden pause :D

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Honestly that's cool I'd love to work with you on this just for fun

@Superguigui @isaac_mason_ @omma_ai You should do like a video of your process making these so that people can see how easy/hard it actually is to use omma

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Looks so satisfying 👀

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai i’m mad you didn’t finish the board

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai next time ;) the OCD in us will be pleased

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Don’t come out with this game. You will steal hours of life away from me

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai there was an actual game where you sucked a whole city, and as you did the whole would get bigger

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Box3D did the grown-up part. Day-one scoring is proof; now the fake-ad loop has to survive bad fingers.

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai already exists on youtube games

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai make it 2€ on steam and promote it properly. u make ton of cash

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai that's why there's so many clones

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai then try make it stand out. like with a skill tree, special effects (vacum or magnetic effect on near objects)

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Recreating those mobile ad games as an actual side project is such a funny idea.

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai there is a game that functions similarly to this! it's called Berry Bury Berry

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Berry Burry Berry

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Naaaa na na na na na naa naaa Naa naa naaaa na na naaaaa

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai BRUH

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai Jajaja estás haciendo justicia

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai When I first saw these games I was confused at how they did this so smoothly with a deformable mesh. Then I found out that it's an optical illusion using shaders and two physics environments running concurrently. So simple, yet so effective!

@isaac_mason_ @omma_ai That was so enjoyable watching that
