Hey @javascripl, thank you for the insightful feedback on Afterlife! I really like the idea to make the gameplay less centered on earning money. In fact, that's usually how I play myself: optimizing the road network for happiness of duszki :) #js13k.

A new game by @michalbe and myself: AFTERLIFE. A city-builder inspired by Caesar 3 and The Sims. We wanted to create a game teeming with life—despite the theme being 'Death.' Or perhaps because of it :) Your denizens need housing and food, and make their own decisions. #js13k

Amazing work. My brain melted a few times when playing.

#js13k starts this Saturday and I get to tell you about building small games with Goodluck during the kickoff meetup!.

An update on Goodluck2D:

Goodluck started out as a template for building 3D games. The 2D systems are still young, but already quite capable. The 2D template comes complete with a fast hardware-accelerated renderer (~tens of thousands of sprites) and weighs in at 8KB zipped.

I’d like more people to be able to try out Goodluck for building their #js13k this year. That’s why I created a Goodluck implementation of js13kBreakout, together with a making-of:

My goal now is to make Goodluck a capable solution for building 2D games before #js13k starts in August. I'd love it if someone other than myself and @michalbe builds a game in it. Stay tuned for Goodluck2D!.

Thanks to Super Simple Salad Simulator, I had an opportunity to improve the renderer, and to build an automated pipeline for assembling images into a spritesheet. Managing assets turns out to be one of the most important features of a game engine.

However, I'm quite happy with the performance of the WebGL-based 2D renderer which I had been working on last year. When I turn the collision detection off, the renderer can easily scale to tens of thousand sprites.

The collisions are rather naive: the ingredients collide with the utensils but don't collide with each other. They're implemented as two for loops on the main thread, which quickly becomes a performance bottleneck.
