ICOGen on itch.io

ICOGen is officially released. Born out of a need to quickly create .ico files for various small projects, ICOGen is a way to visually build an .ico in moments and verify the results as you build it. Includes the ability to export and import your icon settings for quick changes later.

Supports mixed icon sizes, automatic image generation and fine-grained control over source images, including filtering technique used in image generation.

Regular expressions are a syntax describing a pattern they’re intended to match, so there’s essentially an infinite combination of them. For a future release, I was mulling over the idea of adding an expression library. A way to save the current set of expressions, and load them later.

Gemcrate

Gemcrate is, at its core, an attempt to recapture some of the fun and magic had when playing similar match-3 games in the golden era of Mac shareware. The result is a faithful adaption of those games, brought into the modern age of indie gamedev.

This project was something I personally wanted to see, but surprisingly little existed that fit my memories. So I put in the work and time necessary to make what I wanted to play.

Some gameplay footage:

I also made a posting about it on my website, which goes into a little more detail on the tools used to create it, and the exact reasons I created the game.
