I MAKE MEMES TO EXPRESS MYSELF

Seeing my zette for sale at #TFS2025 was really something. Couldn't do it without @societyofplay.bsky.social ! Want to get into gamedev, or sell your own zettes? Join us! #gamedev #indiedev

Gamedev is a journey; developer scribble to finished piece! Finished artwork is by @oct0bre ...And I'm pretty proud of my scribble, okay #gamedev #indiedev

listen I gotta ship this, bandaids and all #gamedev #indiedev

I make gamedev memes to express my feelings #gamedev #indiedev

Forgot about updating my steam page for 7 years. #indiegame #gamedev

Pushed a new Mercenary Leto build to Steam! We're getting closer to release every month! :D #gamedev #indiedev

Hmmmmm what could it mean #gamedev #indiedev

Bug - spelling error Oh, and you can run around while in cutscenes, which makes you look very, very cool. 8) NEW BUILD OUT SOON! Just gotta fix these bugs.... #gamedev #indiedev

Hey, Discord... c-can... can I pay you 20 bucks to never see quests? Would 30 do it? Please????????????? #discord

So, for making "baby dragon" audio, I just took a cat purr - slapped it a bunch in Audacity - and did that 3 times for 3 baby dragons. Gamedev is a lot of fun sometimes :))))))) #indiegame #gamedev

Today, my to-do list chose kindness #indiegame #gamedev

Yes, I'm posting this early, and also, fuck

If you want to make video games, do it! Pick a free engine and try it out for six months. If you don't like it, change engines! Just know, regardless of choice, you'll have to spend countless days fighting a stupid bug and it's not fun AT. ALL. AND. YOU. HATE. IT. SO. !! MUCH !!!!!!!!!! #gamedev

hahahaha, silly programmer can't name thing :: "hasPressedDownUpInput" ha ha, ho ho, this is gonna bite me in the ass later #gamedev #indiedev

Me before a playtest - this is gonna be great, no problems, hell yeah Me 5 seconds after ONE player plays it - oh god oh fuck stop I'm so sorry for wasting your time my game is complete garbage aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA #gamedev #indiedev

Starting on Steam Achievements, and sometimes, "ugga-ugga" programming is just fine. Not glorious, not witty, just gets the damn job done. 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev

First - Happy Early Pride! 🏳️‍🌈✨ I'm looking for playtesters btw... need to ship this game by the end of the year, and I'm ready for feedback on what needs to change! #gamedev #indiedev

It was an awesome weekend. :)

My spot at Dreamhack Dallas!!! I'll be right off the main drag, so I won't be hard to miss. Come stop by; I got the free demo, free stickers, and some merch to sell. :)))))) #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #DHDallas25 #dreamhack #indieplayground

Working on one of the bosses; before it was really hard to tell what was going on because all the bullets were different colors. (wince) I'm now seeing that making the player bullets BLUE and the enemy bullets PINK helps inform what's going on. Still learning as I go! 👍 #gamedev #indiedev

Gamedev tip - Need promo materials for a con? I've been using GotPrint.com for YEARS for banners and biz cards. Highly recommend, never had any problems with 'em. Just sent them a proof for a new card that I'll have on my table at Dreamhack Dallas 2025!! HYPE! #gamedev #indiedev

It took me an hour to figure out. Gamedev is fun, I swear. #gamedev #indiegame

Movie you've seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Lord of the Rings That's End of Evangelion for me, no brakes, all gas. And every time I watch it, year after year, I happy/angry-cry for different reasons. Age does that. Truly a masterpiece. bsky.app/profile/ewor...

It's official!! I'll be at Dreamhack, showing off Leto! :3 It's May 23 - 25 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas! #dreamhack #indiedev #gamedev

@dracanimaker.bsky.social - were you the one who liked ToDoMon, the little mobile game? Going through my things from TFF and wanted to reach out!

It was a great show this weekend! Thanks so much, #TFF2025 !!

NEXT WEEK! I'll be here all 3 days, showing off Leto! We'll be in the dealer's den - hope to see you there!

"Beginnings are such delicate times." Color palette tests. Combined two of 'em from LoSpec (Nyx8/SteamLords), and added some colors of my own. Tree/Background art is a free asset from itch.io! #gamedev #indiegame #gamejam

Playing with pixel "density" for an upcoming game jam. Bigger looks nice, but takes longer to animate. Small is easier to animate, but you lose details/charm if you get too small. Choices!

My tools for digital painting! Photoshop, Lazy Nezumi Pro, and a few brushes. Been feeling the itch since I finished that bookmark :)

"Share the Love for Reading" - done for a contest at the local library! Hopefully I get it. I was too scared to submit last year... 🙃 #dragon

Fixed a stupid bug where this falling rock would break on that teeny tiny mushroom, therefore saving the player from taking damage. SMELLS LIKE GAMEDEV

Mood - "I didn't like how my 2nd level starts off, so I axed it." Indie dev is a hell of a vibe, y'all. #gamedev #indiedev

Got 14 zettes made!! They have a steam key, a recent alpha build of the game on a usb stick, a pin, and a cute little keycharm!! Thanks to @freshhotflavors !! They are AWESOME for making merch as a small indie game developer. They can DO ANYTHING. Bother them with $$$!!!! #indiegame #gamedev

gamedev meme for the evening, as I debug a bug in the music controller 0_o;; #indiedev #gamedev

Prints turned out amazing. Now to get them bundled up! I'll only have ten for #tinycon2025!! #indiegame #gamedev

With #tinycon2025 next Saturday, I'm making a few zettes of Leto! ✨ It will have a few goodies - a keychain and an enamel pin - plus a USB copy of the game AND a steam key. Can't wait! #indiegame #gamedev
