Exploring the World of Indie Game Development: My Journey from Pixel Art to JavaScript Frameworks and Beyond

    When I am interested in something that is programming related but not specifically in languages or frameworks that I am familiar with, I often append "JavaScript" to my search. This time was no different, I quickly found Phaser, a JavaScript framework that suited my needs. I came across an article called "Modular Game Worlds in Phaser 3 (Tilemaps #1) — Static Maps", which was exactly what I was looking for.

  2. An online game marketplace and community.
    I discovered itch.io a few months ago and was impressed by its design and goals. It has a clean interface and allows creators to put their creations on the web for free or for purchase. If the game is HTML compatible, it can be played directly on the site, and if it's for a specific platform, it can be downloaded. Creators can set strict pricing for their work or use a flexible "pay what you want" model. I believe that sites like itch.io, which adapt to the new era of the web and provide creators with tools to monetize their work, are the future.
