YASC update 1.0.2 is now out! Improved gamepad support, made menus work without a mouse, and added hold-to-move feature. Also, the 20% launch sale is still ongoing! 🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/4610260 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot #steam #screenshotsaturday

This is a weird one 😅 After YASC went live on Steam, the wishlists went UP by almost 2x! Now if these lovely people would buy the game... 🤞#indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev

YASCがSteamで配信開始されました！#steam #godot #indiedev #indiegamedev #puzzlegames

It's happening! YASC is now live on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4610260/... 🥳 Go grab it, especially if you don't care about Subnautica 2! #indiedev #gamedev #newonsteam #godot

Hey guys! Just a little shout out there about my game, Without a Dawn, that it exists and that it came to consoles a little while ago! Unfortunately, not much coverage, but it's kinda cool dark experience. If you enjoyed it, please consider spreading the word. Thank you! 💚😊 #art #indiegame

Touring the world! How would this work as a centerpiece for a main menu? #godot #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #madewithgodot

Satisfactory really hits that optimization crave. I've made so many factories already, but there's always room for improvement. Also, my son got into it, and it's fun to share everything about the game with him ❤️

Lucky you! I'm still working towards that, but it's a long way to go. 🙂

AAAAA! PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!! 🔥 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #godot #indiegames

Here's the chiptune-y 👾 music track I made for LD59 🎶 Gosh I wish I had more time for music... soundcloud.com/themanabreak...

*squish* *squish* *squish* #indiedev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

This is fun! Got the heat system optimized down to ~2ms with 400 burning / nearby objects. This is just GDScript for now. :) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #simulation

Fiddling with a heat distribution system where entities emit heat and may catch on fire 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

YASC is now out on itch.io! Go grab the free demo and scratch that puzzle itch! manabreak.itch.io/yasc #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev #pixelart #retro #8bit

Bad idea: take a cough drop, hold it between your teeth and take a sip of water. Then, cough and make water end up in the wrong pipe, along with cough drop juices.

Every single time, Ludum Dare makes me feel so grateful of the community. The feedback is always positive and encouraging, and all in all people are so nice to each other 🥰 #ldjam #ludumdare #gamedev

Humble reminder to wishlist YASC on Steam 🥰

Working on Ludum Dare 59, going well so far! #ldjam #ludumdare #screenshotsaturday

I'm entertaining the idea of creating a new game jam as per @distraction.engineer 's "challenge" of doing something to continue after Ludum Dare. The other jams I've participated have been lackluster, and they don't promote reciprocity like LD does. "Ludus Nova", perhaps? #ldjam #newld

Huge personal milestone for me! YASC is my first game on Steam and it's store page is now public! Next stop: demo! 🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/4610260/... #steam #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #steamdev

Also made a new trailer for YASC! #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #steam #screenshotsaturday

A bit overwhelmed about how much marketing material you need to publish on Steam 😅 Almost there, though! #steam #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday

Got approved as a Steamworks partner, yay! Going to get YASC released soon-ish 🥳 #indiedev #indiegames

@distraction.engineer Hey Mike, how does it look on LD this month?

finally got that video done the thumbnail is honestly the most important part but there's some good info in there if you can stand it www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NG4...

ngl, I'm pretty proud of this homebrew #dnd item I came up with.

First proper walk through the woods with the new camera #nature #naturephotos #naturephotography #photography #canon #finland #suomi #oulu

As a migraine sufferer myself, I knew my game would need a photosensitivity mode setting. All the game's colorful / noisy / flickering effects are disabled when the mode is on. #godot #indiedev #accessibility #ux #indiegamedev #gamedev #feedbackfriday

Squirrel on a tree in my backyard, inspecting the xmas lights still on the tree 😁 #wildlife #photography #oulu #finland #canon #wildlifephotography #animals

Eurasian bullfinch - I kinda like the mood in this one. #oulu #finland #suomi #photography #wildlife #birds

Squirrel having a breakfast 🥰 #photography #wildlife #finland #suomi #oulu #canon

2026 basically

Uh oh... Started to arrange all the photos I have amassed throughout the years. 31044 photos are being imported FROM JUST A SINGLE FOLDER - and there are a lot of folders. This is going to take a while 😅 I have no idea how many photos there are in total... #photography #darktable

How are #gamedev people approaching itch.io marketing? Do you have a demo available first before trying to get conversions, or do you rely on players adding the game page to their collections? Intuitively this feels unreliable. 🤔 #indiedev #indiegamedev #marketing #games

YASC gameplay :) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #humanmade #noai #itch

YASC gameplay trailer is now up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQZgTsSFMe4 Go and add to your itch.io collection now to get notified right away when it launches! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #godot #puzzle #retro #pixelart #itch.io #itch

Seriously, how difficult can it be to get video editing software to work in Arch? Davinci Resolve won't launch due to broken Qt dependency, kdenlive doesn't load its codecs correctly and only shows gray for video tracks. I'd really prefer not to switch OS just for making a few clips. 😑

I started this year with a resolution that I'd make one game a month for the whole year. I might be overshooting the scope of the first game a bit - it's about halfway done at this point 😅 But perhaps it's more important to finish the games! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot

Coupert over here trying to get me a discount Captcha

Without any context, can you tell what this game is about and what you're supposed to do? I'm trying to make my game as readable and self-explanatory as possible. 🙂 #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot

At most, I'd treat the "full price" as something that might decline over time, say, 15% a year. Even that depends on a lot of things. Pricing is pretty complicated. #gamedev #indiedev

Finally!

My #dnd session got cut short due to a fuse blowing out 😅 My car was charging and my wife turned on the sauna stove. For some reason the load balancer did not catch up 🤷‍♂️ Oh well, luckily it was 15 minutes before the end and I had spare fuses, so sauna wasn't ruined!

I installed the Reddit app for the first time in three years, and... How crappy can an app get? Besides the obvious ad plague and whatnot, the app is just buggy as can be. Browsing a sub just randomly makes jumps back to top, some views don't open at all, side swiping stops at paging edges...

Is it possible to filter out all the US politics in Bluesky? This starts to become the new Twitter / X all over again.

Recently got back to photography and got new gear. Last night I took my very first full moon photo! #fullmoon #moon #photography #astrophotography #finland

I released all my sound effects I've made for game jams on itch! Pay what you want, grab for free, make cool stuff 🙂 manabreak.itch.io/manabreaks-s... #indiedev #gamedev #assets #free #sfx #sound #indiegamedev

Whittled and carved a coffee measuring spoon from birch 🙂
