Background

Hello I am @CarelessLabs, I like walks on the beach and have a good sense of humour... a corporate dev by day, hobbyist game dev by night. I have been making 2D games for many years on and off, I mostly make platform or shoot-em-up type games but will try out anything. My website: http://www.carelesslabs.co.uk/games.html

Coding

I have played about with Unity, Game Maker, XNA but love writing Java, I am always willing to try out new languages but for Jams always use LibGDX.

I have experience with all sorts of databases, APIs and have written/setup simple game servers for multiplayer games.

Jams

Cyber Punk Jam - A remake of an Amiga classer "Walker", made in LibGDX for the web http://www.carelesslabs.co.uk/mech/

Flappy Bird Jam - Made my own clone of the game and posted it to the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.c...

Meatly Jam - Learnt Processing JS and completed a Super Meat Boy tribute in 2/3 days http://www.carelesslabs.co.uk/game/the_meatly_jam....

LD 32 - Light of the Living Dead was made after playing lots of Nuclear Throne and wanting to make a random dungeon generator, to keep the the theme I gave the hero a light/torch rather than a gun http://carelesslabs.itch.io/light-of-the-living-de...

LD 33 - Inspired by Half Life and Flash Back I created a puzzler/platform game, half wrote a reusable point-and-click engine in 3 days http://carelesslabs.itch.io/monster-break-out

Style

I love pixel art and 2D games, would be happy to be part of a team making any this sort of game. While I prefer to write code for games as a solo dev I have to try and do the art, would not see myself only doing art on a game but anyway here is some of my pixel daily posts:

Monkey Island

Nuclear Fishing

Spikes
