The past week was a busy one for both Spinfoam Games projects and my own personal blog (which hopefully has finally found a platform it’ll stay on for some time).

The first version of Engineer, a brand new 2D sorting / tidying game, was released. Benevolence got a little bit of polish, Flux Tome added support for generating detailed properties, and Moon Letters has a couple of new shapes as well as a new dots-instead-of-segments mode.

Next week is likely to be a bit slower, but I hope to get a couple of new Flux Tome generators implemented and maybe get another new project out into the wild. (It depends on how the froth particles go.)

Benevolence

• Puzzle pieces smoothly slide when moved (finally)

• The old fixed-size background image has been replaced by a dynamic, gently animated sky-and-clouds background that fills the browser window

You can play Benevolence for free: https://benevolence.spinfoamgames.com/

Engineer

A new release! Engineer is a 2D tidying / sorting game about putting a starship computer back together

It’s free to play online: https://engineer.spinfoamgames.com/

Flux Tome

• Support for extra details from generators (costs, ingredients, dungeon inhabitants, etc)

• Dungeons now include information about construction details, special features, and inhabitants

• Sci-fi Particles now have a list of properties

• Menu Items now have a random cost

• Dystopian Canned Food now includes a risk rating based on how rancid it is!

Flux Tome is free to use here: https://flux-tome.spinfoamgames.com/

Moon Letters

• Dot grid shapes now support generating segments to connect the dots in the grid; orthogonal, diagonal, and a combination of the two are supported

• Connected dot grids can also optionally hide the underlying dots

• Dot grids always start a sensible square shape now

• Any shape can have its segments replaced by sets of individual dots (which can be toggled on and off as a per-segment set or individually)

• A new starburst shape has been added that renders as rays radiating from a central point
