I'm back with an update! After years of experimenting with different ideas for a video game for programmers, it's time to make the dream happen. In this episode, I introduce the project and share my dream for a video game studio.

The game that I am working on is called Auto Traffic Control. It takes inspiration from the old mobile game Flight Control HD, and adapts the concept to be a game about programming. You can read more about the game and its inspiration here: https://www.jdno.dev/auto-traffic-control/.

The idea for programming games isn't new, and notable mentions in the episode are Screeps and TIS-100. Check them out here:

Follow the project along on my blog, Twitter, or watch me live stream the development on Twitch:

In the first episode of his new show, JD talks about an idea that has kept him busy for a long time: a video game for programmers. Using Hacktoberfest as an arbitrary deadline, he plans to use the month of October to finally go from experimentation to product development.
