Update 14: Added overworld enemy behaviour; they see you and run into you, which puts you into the RPG battle menu! #indiedev

i dont know what. im doing

Game dev is really just you saying “Man I love video games SO much that I think it’d be sick if I played them 10x less than I want to”

Update 13: Started the follower system for my TD-RPG! Your chosen active follower will follow you around and offer personal insight into objects you inspect in the overworld! #indiedev

Update 12: improved the system for spawning and despawning animations, and polished the animation for the 1st tower in the game :) #indiedev #art #pixelart

I think about Mega Man Legends drawing the mouths at different angles relative to the camera about once a month.

Update 11: WIP idle animations for a tower in the game; she dance #indiedev #pixelart #art

Update 11: Tested using really ugly stand-in wall textures, wall texturing confirmed functional! The overworld now can be covered in pretty things #indiedev

Update 10: Improved the look and functionality of the explosion effect some towers have. Also added a map preview that shows what your board looks like while in the RPG menus! #indiedev #td

Update 9: Enemies can be encountered in the overworld now! Also in the Tower Defense-segment, foes and towers completely interact with each other! Stopping, starting, damaging each other, the works! #indiedev

Update 8: Made a guy who explodes. His full function will be a bit more complex, but for now all the systems are in place for future explosion guy to be real! #indiedev

For my GDQ submissions this year I'm going to keep working on my games daily so that one day they can be run in a GDQ event,

Some general fixes mostly related to the post-game of TTtM were pushed today!

Update 7: Added the score system, which serves as the de-facto hp of my TDRPG; if you let the opponent's score get high enough, you game over! #indiedev

Update 6: Replaced the stand-in sprite with my first attempt at a serious walk-cycle for my protagonist: Kiki! #indiedev #pixelart

Update 5: Fully implemented entities in the overworld, which can do a variety of things. This one is a person who's name is Ted. #indiedev

🎉 picoCAD 2 is out! 🥳 Model, texture, and animate - in a single lo-fi, easy to use package.  GIF, GLTF, OBJ, and sprite sheet export.  Available now on Steam and Itch! Check it out! picocad.net Thanks for boosting! ❤️ 🙏

Update 4 FINAL: The editor successfully exported the rooms and the entrances and exits work!! #indiedev

I return from a multi-day quest to make an editor that supports interconnected rooms! Lots of work has to be done to save me workload later, but the skeleton is there! #indiedev

Update 3: Fixed the overworld collision to be completely smooth when running against walls, and added economy, tower placing juice, and the ability to load several unique towers into your belt #indiedev

my first monkey ball record in 6 months! i am the first person to complete the TAS strat on this level, beating the previous record by over 2 seconds

One week until the start of LÖVE Jam 2026! Be there! itch.io/jam/love2d-j... OBEY

Today I made good and efficient code for calculating collision between enemies and bullets NO LAG! even when i summon a ridiculous amount of entities

Game#2 Quote chain is GO! Today I implemented a menu way more expandable than the one in TTtM lol It also serves as your dashboard for choosing attacking options during the "battle" state! #indiedev #gamedev

Alongside "THE BIG TTTM UPDATE" I've been getting started on my game #2: it's a big RPG with tower defense mechanics woven in. I'll be posting very frequent updates on this as my passion has never been higher #gamedev #indiedev #rpg

lmfao this category

Browser Super Monkey Ball now has online multiplayer! (And a few other things.) Play now!

A somewhat medium-large TTtM Update:

Never let it be said that hotfixes don't count as heroism: #gamedev #indiedev #tttm

MORE CHAINED TOGETHER with friend @peterinc.bsky.social this time we are going through my old romhack, MONKEYED BALL 2 WITTY SUBTITLE see you on stream at 1pm ET!

The full soundtrack to TTtM is up on various platforms! Shoutouts to walkr wherever music for being the music master for my freaking game #gamedev #ost

I discovered a new, unpatched method of escaping without a starter in Pokemon Scarlet on Switch and Switch 2. (Old save/load displacement method was presumably patched.) Detailed instructions in this thread, as well as some things I haven't yet tried but would like to find out if they're possible.

It's made in LÖVE!

my game my game it's out! I have made TWO emergency hotfixes so far but it is out! im going to stay awake as long as im able to keep an eye on it and make sure there are no disasters but check it out if you haven't yet!!

It's happening in a little over 12 hours!!! All will be revealed,

Just because you won't be able to fit in some where, doesn't mean you won't be able to find another way #indiedev #mondays

Been itching to show you guys the music for TTtM !! Pls listen if you love the sound of wonderful ,, song and like 12 minutes of it:

wow.

Finished implementing every single story mode cutscene in @tttmgame.bsky.social ! Most of these grey rectangles are cutscene triggers!

this game making stuff is actually doable by noobs like me i think more people should do it

After i finish make (my) game, I gotta figure out what a good ergonomic keyboard setup looks like, i've got a feeling the way my hands feel is one of those avoidable things

Scientists has invented a new type of ear, giove it a listen:

Testing out high resolution settings in my game on my awesome tiny monitors ; probably works,

Don't ask questions like these!

YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY

A celebratory and festive hat #indiedev #happy
