#GamedevJS Jam 2026 - Day 1: It is this time of the year again! 🧑💻. The theme is "MACHINES" 🤖. I already have a few ideas, but today I mainly finalized my new Phaser 4 / TS / Vite template. It is available on GitHub in case someone else can use it too.

Working on a new jam project: Steamheart Engine.
A puzzle game about building machines from gears, pipes, and pressure.
