Hey, I'm Tobias, 32 years old, live in Norway. I had my second child this year, so I haven't been able to develop a lot this year, but I'm trying to get some gamedev in each day now in October to learn new things, finish up some old half-finished projects, and generally just get into the groove again.
And Devtober overlaps with other jam stuff like Octojam (an annual CHIP-8 game jam) and other things. Lots of opportunities to work on stuff, and I've already finished a small, dumb CHIP-8 game inspired by two Inktober themes, so I've submitted that one already: https://tobiasvl.itch.io/mini-lights-out
Other stuff I hope to do (but probably won't have the time to do):
- Make two or three more CHIP-8 games, one inspired by Inktober themes but two that aren't
- Make PICO-8 tweetcarts inspired by Inktober themes (#picoctober)
- Finally finish versions 2.0 of two of my previous games, which have just been sitting in my git staging area for a year or so
- Make something Halloween-themed??
- Maybe learn Bitsy
- Write devlogs (which I'll end up doing at the end of October and not throughout)
