Hacktoberfest 2021

Starting a new Game Dev Project

I'm back with an update! After years of experimenting with different ideas for a video game for programmers, it's time to make the dream happen. In this episode, I introduce the project and share my dream for a video game studio. The game that I am working on is called Auto Traffic Control. It takes inspiration from the old mobile game Flight Control HD, and adapts the concept to be a game about programming. You can read more about the game and its inspiration here: https://www.jdno.dev/auto-traffic-control/ [https://www.jdno.dev/auto-traffic-control/]. The idea for programming games isn't new, and notable mentions in the episode are Screeps and TIS-100.
