The Antifascist counter-demo in Bolzano was a resounding success! The right-wing demo had around 150 participants, and the antifascist one had more than 5000! Was a blast being there, just attending already does a lot sometimes. #Antifa

How often will I still try to open a .blend file with vim??? Muscle memory too strong, so very often I suppose. #indiedev #gamedev

I forgot this was an actual thing in The Witcher 3.

Continued my tentative playthrough of the first Shin Megami Tensei and overcame a roadblock with my Dialogue editor yesterday! (Unrelated) I wonder if I'll be forced to look anything up playing SMT, but so far I've gotten by without it. (Could use some spell descriptions tho) #gamedev #indiedev

No gamedev tonight. Shin Megami Tensei instead. I'm rather intrigued! I really just want to play it so I can say the name out loud^^

Roadmap for my main mechanic: Curses wanted: 50 Curses concepted: 27 Curses implemented: 21 Soooo, almost halfway there, but I'll probably need more systems for them to interact with. I don't even have item pickups yet, and two of the planned curses need that. #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

Hey folks! I am very proud and delighted to say that Helmet Head now has a Steam Page. Woohoo! 👇 Wishlists and shares are greatly appreciated 👇 store.steampowered.com/app/4285450/... Thank you all for your encouragement this past year, it means a lot to me 😊 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #gaming

I rarely post links to my articles over here but this one will be an exception because of the amount of work I put into it #retro #games 2kgamer.net/2026/02/14/n...

I'm super impressed with @blender.org's built-in video editor (sequencer). Should not have slept on this until now... the only major deal breaker I've encountered is the lack of audio tools and effects. For quick stuff though or edits without the need for audio tooling this is pretty amazing.

“Is programming art? I still can’t tell. I should make a post and ask the more experienced programmers. I couldn't possibly know because I’m a designer first and only started programming very recently……… 12 years ago. Wait, what?”

Things my Laptop does, my phone just doesn't: When I press backspace to delete stuff here on bsky, I get a little staticky noise, as if he were complaining. Writing does it too, but they keyboard is louder than the sound. Feels a little more alive to me somehow, I like it. #computers, I guess?

Greybox vs current version of my town's tavern! Currently this is probably the extent of my abilities with blender, but I'll get better :) I've also improved the general AI of my entities - now guards will help each other if you attack one of them :) Those fuckers. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

This evening I implemented a simple system to let enemies be one of three things towards each other: agressive, assistive or afraid and it just kinda works??? (I still need to implement fear though) #gamedev #indiedev #cursed_existence

I found a style I like for the curse cards in my game! And it's not even insanely time-intensive :D This one's the card for "agression", roughly modeled after my chonky cat being threatening, haha^^ I think this'll look good on a card, and I can keep that style up :) #gamedev #indiedev

(Small) Milestone: Yesterday, I put my first dialogue tree written with MY OWN dialogue editor in my game! Now let's hope it'll actually get me to write more dialogue on the go, which it was meant for, haha^^ #gamedev #indiedev #cursed_existence

Nothing Doing no. 62

Game companies should release their old proprietary engine tools. What's the harm in releasing your stuff you used to make games with on like, the Dreamcast? Or like, Bioware's old engines? Video game companies are way too greedy about dead, useless shit (like IP they're never going to use ever).

Just clicked the button to release the game I spent the last two years of my life working on

I think any technical gamedevs who aren't on Tig will get a kick out of this: store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/... Dude's making a raytraced puzzle game - all on the CPU! Really like the devlog too: forums.tigsource.com/index.php?to... Raytraced _on the CPU_. Wishlist it :D #gamedev #indiedev

I need to brush up on my art skills again, and doing lil' animations seems a good way to do that^^ Not sure I'll be animating anything in-game as my skills just aren't there yet, but practice is practice :) (Also at least it loops on here, thank fuck) #animation #practice

Today I will be adding some fun Easter eggs to the game. Shouting OPEN SESAME into the mic to open a pack. Saying "heart of the cards" once per battle to draw something good. Holding B when opening a pack to get better odds. None of this will be documented beyond here.

These ARE hella adorable! :D

Well, in between modeling, I got sidetracked once again, but implemented dialogue trees - now I just need a tool to let me write dialogue from wherever I want and on my phone too... #gamedev #indiedev #cursed_existence

Peglin is an absolute *GEM* - I only wanted it to be longer, but it also doesn't overstay its welcome, so maybe it's fine the way it is^^

So I've been Playing #rainworld and damn... Reading the devlog didn't prepare me for the effect it'd have on me - I'm excited like i'm 12 years old, holy shit is it fun (and brutal) :D It also made me realize I should just work around a problem I'm having. Can't have perfect solutions for everything

I think now that all my base mechanics are done, and I have most of the first level mapped out, I should refine what I have to get it to look like it does in my brain :D Working on improving my art skills across all areas for that too... It's been too long since I drew something. #indiedev #gamedev

Look no, I just can't _not_ share this. These are near-lethal levels of adorable^^ The game looks amazing too, no doubt, but the narrator steals the spotlight^^

I've spent two of my valuable gamedev evenings chasing a bug that completely broke my game, was triggered by a textbox opening and was caused by me not declaring two variables as local. I love Lua, but damn. That one hurt. #gamedev #indiedev

Oh, the bad decisions of my past are catching up to me, you say? At least I remember thinking that doing things this way was a bad idea, because I left a comment about it... Time to fix my past mistakes! Whenever I find the time to do so... #indiedev #gamedev

the sun produces natural light will-o'-wisps produce supernatural light Thank you

If something can be exotic, does that imply the existence of endotic things? Like in endo/exo-skeleton?

1/2 Rarely do I have such a simple plan^^ Knockback overhaul: - rename anim_speed_multiplier on weapons to weight_multiplier - add base_knockback to wapons - multiply weapon's anim speed with material's weight_multiplier - multiply base_knockback with material's weight_multiplier #indiedev #gamedev

Yooo, they look hella neat :D

I was scrolling so long to find this post! This is what I want to aim for, even though I'm still worlds away from that much style^^ This fucker would need a proper remake anyways, the first two thirds of the game were absolutely amazing :D

Debugging a shader issue which causes all my characters to be naked on OpenglES devices - so far I've traced it to the clothing color not being passed into the shader, but I'm at a loss as to _why_ so far. Maybe my characters just want to be naked... #gamedev #indiedev

I want to make a french character called Nathan hiber, who sleeps all day. His friends call him... no wait, you put the dumb pun together yourself. #gamedev #indiedev #writing #badwriting

What hitting 1000 wishlists for Marble's Marbles feels like #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegaming

Tried my game on the gameshell again after a loooong time: CRASH, OUT OF MEMORY I knew this day would come... So now I need to write an asset manager, oh well. Might get sidetracked with a bit of asset creation before that though ;D #gamedev #indiedev

Thank you to all the indie teams coming out on company acounts pushing back at the idea of using genAI is somehow the new normal.

IT. IS. DONE! At 40 years old, I've finally fulfilled my dream of making and releasing my own game. Never forget that there is nothing you can't do. No matter what you dream, the power to make it real is yours to command! #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieDev #IndieGames #Steam #Gaming #2DGames #PitchYaGame

Being chased through the woods by naked people was not on my gamedev checklist for today, yet here we are... (I forgot to pass in the equipment for the bandits when creating them)

HELL YEAH, PROGRESS! Rigged clothing unlocked - now I can make clothes without my characters' asses clipping through :D That also means that I'll have to make some assless leather pants to make up for the now missing cake. (Not that it matters from that distance, but still) #indiedev #gamedev

The absolute madman is releasing - I can't be there because I'm in europe and require sleep, which are my only two weaknesses. #gamedev #indiedev And I really need to sleep already, damn...

Finally migrated all my repositories to my own server! But what on earth was I doing in this repo two years ago??? #indiedev #gamedev

Cowardly programmers calling it a 'Garbage collector' rather than an Orphan Destroyer

Yooooo it's out :D I need to try it on proton ASAP :D

Today I'm gonna set up git lfs so I can work on cursed_existence again! I had to set up gogs on a lil' VPS to get away from Bitbucket but I've yet to migrate away completely because my files won't follow me ;-; #indiedev #gamedev

Fixing the bug where humans with a melee weapon would stand very far away and swing their weapon at nothing because they thought they were holding a bow. Kind of hilarious, but really not great for enticing gameplay^^ #gamedev #indiedev

I can now place custom humans into a level! These will be bandits (player character is in the middle), but I'll use the same system for friendly NPCs. #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence
