Byond Programming!

Aug 30, 2023

So I began learning how to program DM, Dream Maker (The Language Byond uses) and its been very fun. I have seen this a very long time ago and wasn’t very appealing at the time haha.

Byond stands for Build Your Own Net Dream and that’s what I’m going to do. I began going through some documentation and watching a few videos to get a hang of things and I think I’ll be comfortable enough with it by the end of the year to publish something. I will most likely use this for Game Jam 2023.

Here’s a snippet from their home page which you can go to at https://byond.com

I have started production which is in pre-pre-pre production with tons of stuff on the drawing board but I am happy to say that my next project (among many others), working title: Electric Circuit is in development.

Stay tuned for more details!

It will be a top down co-op base defense game made with a small team of friends and a couple folks from mockinbird.dev
