Title: 001 Game Creator Humble Bundle has $1 price point with a lot of game dev sheets
Post by: Kilyle on October 29, 2020, 03:28:31 PM
Humble Bundle's got a Game Dev bundle (https://www.humblebundle.com/software/game-dev-stem-software) going.  Now, you could snag 001 Game Creator for like $12 right now (it'll likely be higher later), and the full bundle (at $25) might be worth the price for a ton of 001 DLC, but the first thing that catches my eye is the game development sheets at the $1 price point.

I just got them and they're interesting.  Not, like, something I couldn't probably have found for free elsewhere, cobbled together on my own, but there's a fair amount of utility here for organizing and keeping track of your game project.  Given that I've earmarked November as "try to make a game with my nephew" month, this is great timing.  We should also be spending the Extra Life charity fundraiser (https://www.extra-life.org/participant/Arkylie) trying to make a game in something like 16 hours (I don't expect we'll be able to make anything worth tooting a horn about, but it ought to be fun to try to focus on just that during Game Day there).

But the bundle has sheets for mapping out the areas of your world and how they connect, sheets for designing items, sheets for the GUI (including for touch screen phones) and for the underlying game logic, and some documents that I've just begun to dive into that explain how to make use of the various sheets.

So consider it!  The money can be earmarked entirely for Ablegamers if you like.

While this is a great post about an awesome package from a good store with a charitable cause, I don't think calling it "H-Bundle" is perhaps the wisest move.

Um... didn't think about that.  Does it sound like Hentai or something?  I ran out of room and had to shorten something, apparently bad choice.  Will fix!
