here's the blurb: Downpour is a fun, quick and accessible way to make your own videogames. Take photos of yourself, your drawings, your world and then link them together. You made a game! Now share it so others can play.Look on archive.org

The utopian vision for the project is this: making a tool so that anyone, without prior knowledge, can make something interestingly interactive in a spare ten minutes. And without a computer. What would you make if making a game was as easy as writing a letter?Permalink Look on archive.org

You might remember my little thread of tiny games I posted at the start of the year? They were made with an early version. This is the kind of stuff you can make with it! @v21/1477220587080724480Permalink Look on archive.org

It should be releasing some time later this year - exactly when, we'll see. I have a lot of ideas for it, but with something like this, the people that use it are the ones that really define what it can do. The endless question of "when is it done enough to release?"Permalink Look on archive.org

And if you wanna try it before then... it'll be at Now Play This on the 8-10th April: nowplaythis.net/ I think the setup is going to be really nice, there's going to be crafting tables & props & maybe a dollhouse? And the games people make there will be playable online.Permalink Look on archive.org

So, yes. Downpour! This is the big thing I've been working on since leaving Niantic. I'm excited to be working on it, and excited to share it. Hope you're excited to make something with it!Permalink Look on archive.org
