Oh god. He's finally releasing that sokoban game he wrote an entire language for, and it's this.

I fear that if it wasn't for his attachment, no one would care, it looks like a first timer indie/failed mobile port.

I give 60% odds this falls flat on its face. I give 5% odds that if that happens, he goes rambling crazyguy mode.

That's because a lot of the puzzles are ports of other creators free games https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@draknek/115704122780333721

So, “Order of the Sinking Star” by Thekla was just announced, which takes several small free games (two of which are mine) and gives them a major graphical upgrade and mashes up their rulesets. I haven’t been very involved but it’s a great concept and looks cool.

...

Additionally, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that Jon’s beliefs/priorities and mine are not aligned. He’s adversarial to people talking about privilege and representation, is dismissive of diversity efforts, has dabbled in covid trutherism, and is pro-MAGA.

I believe Trump is a self serving authoritarian who's dismantling democracy, trying to make trans people illegal, and wanting to set up concentration camps for immigrants - whereas Jon in February called him "the best President we have had in my entire life".

That took a turn. Also the reason why I said that if this falls flat on its face, there's a chance he goes rambling crazyguy mode

I can't believe he hasn't decided to work under a pseudonym by now.
