Hey I was looking for documentation to learn how to make my own games but I didn't see a link on the website. Do you have any docs? If so please consider putting a link to it on the front page. I didn't try logging into the studio since it was asking for username and stuff, so maybe the docs are there? I just wanted to read the docs before committing to a login and stuff to see if this is worth my time.

Hey good catch, I will put up links to docs outside of the studio. The studio now has some samples for game node types, eg. shapes, text or assets as well as an llm-focused game guide you can dump into Claude or whatever to have it make games.

But will definitely add some more outside of the studio.

Thanks for checking it out!

> Kaboom Valley This game reminded me of Gorilla Basic (GORILLA.BAS), it really brought back some childhood memories, so nostalgic! Unfortunately, this Kaboom Valley game seem to be unplayable! None of the buttons is working for me and only the computer is able to fire its projectiles over my head :(

I will take a look and publish a fix, thanks for checking it out!

Reminds me of Scorched Earth.

I had (and still have) that. On tape. Doing anything with that was so slow and tedious that I never did anything with it.
