Personal site is live
luke6b.tech is live. This is where I'll post Pinball Hero dev notes, covering what broke, how I tuned the numbers, and which effects I dropped in the end. Wishlist the game so you don't miss updates.
Pinball Hero has a Steam page. A store page covers what the game is, and the part about how it was made doesn't fit there.
The most interesting part of solo development is that part. Why an effect got dropped, why a number moved from 30 to 12, how physics and turn-based combat ended up fighting each other. None of that fits on a store page, a blog does.
So: this site.
What's here
The work page has the intro, gameplay and systems for Pinball Hero, plus a few screenshots and the Steam wishlist button. The dev log is the thing you're reading, less pretty than the game but true. Chinese and English are both there, toggle in the top right. Chinese is the mother tongue, the English side is machine-assisted. If you'd rather not check the site, subscribe to this.
How to help
If you care about the project, the most direct support is hitting Add to wishlist on Steam. Once the list gets big enough I'll run a public playtest, and everyone on it gets notified.
Watching along works too. Subscribe to the RSS or drop by now and then. Both work.
