Idlenet - my next game, an idle/incremental merging game made with LÖVE in lua.

here’s a random gif i am using for the upcoming devlog about resolution scaling

resolution

a lot of the midgame is being smoothed out now and the game is getting very close to having source available
since the beginning of this year I have been planning out the scope of some late-end game systems while also refactoring a lot of the codebase before I go all in on midgame mechanics and balancing.
the next devlog after the resolution one I write will probably be some maths-heavy detailing of game balance or really dumb formulas.

I also finally got around to making my own colorscheme for neovim, which i have been using for almost a year now. well it’s not really my own since it’s just a port of a vs code theme that i like called sema. check it out on github

games

Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy (2023, stealth/puzzle)
- i think this is the best stealth/solver/puzzler game of the decade, full stop. one more level to go in hitman 3 for max masteries and then I will continue my freelancer campaign.
- i have done some really goofy SOSA (suit only, silent assassin) runs on my youtube channel in a clown suit
- freelancer, the rogue-like mode added to the trilogy in 2023, is probably one of the best updates/additions to any game I’ve played. it doesn’t feel like many roguelites or whatever was being yapped about in the post about treatmills, it feels oddly natural, and perfectly expands on the amazing levels of the trilogy. it demands mastery of the levels and quick adaptation when the game throws a crazy objective at you.
- black ops 6 (2024)‘s first chapters of its campaigns, especially the stealth sections, reminded me a lot of hitman absolution (2012), so I got the urge to play hitman again.
UFO 50 (2024, indie) is probably the best indie game/collection of games i’ve played since Undertale. this shit makes me wanna enter a jam now that I know love2d. inspirational. perfect on the steam deck.
Dark Souls: Remastered (2018, action) fourth playthrough now? finishing up the lord souls with a great scythe before starting a seamless coop run
Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. (2025, fighting) im so 3d fighter starved we go 20 years back in time
