First pass of spritesheet for both basic aliens and the Rex has been completed. Some are very obviously temp, but for now they work.

The Tiny Kaiju beat'em'up is progressing! First combo and some proper hit reactions from the enemies added. Animation art is temporary, but it feels so much better than just having static poses. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Continuing to make beat em up game alongside TheGameDevTavern's tutorial. And yeah, obviously it'll be about kaiju-sized mutated T-rex :D #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Following the tutorial and adding my own characters and animations is so much fun!

It's a tiny pixelart kaiju for a tiny kaiju beat em up game! Inspired by design by the amazing @vincentvenoir.bsky.social

Wanted to get back into making beat em ups, but couldn't get my ass in gear. Trying to over-engineer the tech made me stuck in the conceptualization loop for the last couple months Yesterday I found this cool tutorial series and just started working alongside. Sweet! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5i4...

Holy shit, I have no idea how I nearly missed it, but it's a Ludum Dare weekend! Shall we make a game? Mayyyybe :o

Oh yeah, as you can imagine I'm back to shitposting (and some devposting) and generally hoping I can get through the dreaded first line of code any time soon. Today would be nice.

Don't you hate those days when you suddenly have a really cool idea to implement something, and then have a realization 'Oh wait, @sebastianlague.bsky.social already did that and better than I possibly ever could' and go back to sulking? One of those days though, I will be innovative and cool!

Sometimes you just enter Bluesky and are greeted with a vibecoded AI bullshit spam that is cross-promoted and retweeted by obvious bot accounts managed by same person. Can't they just stay on Twitter?

Oh yeah we ricing that NixOS :D Still some setup left to be at the point where I had my Garuda, but I am decently happy with what NixOS gives me.

Garuda Linux was awesome, ngl. But I crave MORE. Installing NixOS over the weekend. Wish me luck.

Experimenting with the visual feedback for the dialogue. When the Player chooses the wrong answer, they take damage points (shown by the heart meter) and have ꜱᴀᴠᴀɢᴇ ᴍᴀɢᴇɴᴛᴀ on their face. They should enjoy it and come back for more. 👁️ 🫦 👁️ #UX #UI #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #videogames

I have managed to capture a hummingbird hawk-moth in the garden! I've been hunting for this one for quite some time, but it never appeared in a full sun. Until today. I didn't have my macro lens on me unfortunately, but used my main wildlife Tamron 150-600 lens as a decent approximation.

Maybe a little late to the party😅 but this trend perfectly describes our journey with LEVEL 11.11 If you like what you see, please wishlist the game on Steam it helps us massively! store.steampowered.com/app/3698140/... #indiegame #gamedevs #UnrealEngine5 #blender #HorrorGaming #WishlistNow

It's a pitch deck season. Finally I have 2 personal projects in the making, that I deeply believe in ❤️ and I'm searching for funding. Keep the faith (for me) 😊 #indiegamedev #indiegame #stopmotion #animationart

I used to be youg and have long hair, now I spend my days at the laundromat.

So I was making a chicken soup, and the carrot gave me a perfect Tinder profile picture.

I'vee finally decided to do the big step and moved my game development to open source alternatives. At first I wanted to use FreeBSD, which I know from times long past, but it turns out that it lacked the necessary drivers. I ended up on Garuda Linux and so far it's great: everything just works.

Rami, as always, delivers an absolutely excellent talk. I learned a lot! Maybe you will too?

Hi, do you like reading/games? Are you aware I write cyber-fantasy with gay people? Like a giant, open, choose your own adventure with real consequences? That the polls are open and plot ongoing? And that you can explore the world as yourself? And it's free? And has human art? vekari.net

Went for a summer walk in the park. Things went well.

I have days when nothing goes right, sure, but not today. Today I find that the code flows from my fingertips like my spirit and the machine's spirit are intertwined. I can feel the game shaping up second by second. HOT DAMN, it feels so good. This is the high we're chasing. #gamedev #indiedev

Returned to Pokemon GO recently, and while I loathe the FOMO-driven event mill that the game serves these days, it is giving me reasons to go out and walk around, which I badly needed. It's easier to do so if I want to catch mons for my kids. So: methods? questionable. results? positive so far.

Changes to source code even after generating new solution, cleaning and rebuilding don't change anything in my Unreal project, and I'm slowly losing my mind.

As the game is being developed, our artist, @lukaszjunczyk.bsky.social, has started working on the trailer. Here it is in full glorious temp art! Animation of pressing the elevator button is truly a masterpiece. Henceforth I shall be pressing all buttons like that. #gamedev #indiedev

#Gaurodan is out! The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system. Music by @gryzor87.bsky.social ♫ Info and downloads at locomalito.com

Today I have encountered a pair of wild boars, with a bunch of young ones. Spent like an hour observing them. They were in high grass so didn't get any excellent pictures, but I had great fun watching them feed and play around.

Recently at the office me and a group of friends were given a task to design a cool game and make it. It's an action/survival horror, we're trying to pour into it our best memories of games like AVP, F.E.A.R, and GTFO. We've just started, but I like where we're heading :D #indiedev #gamedev

I really should write and submit my talk on best practices for writing code in Unity that you can easily port to Godot. #indiedev

Creating my very own portable console at @amazefest.bsky.social and having so much fun!

I did a thing! Thanks @amazefest.bsky.social and @zoewi.bsky.social for letting me do the thing! I hope you liked the thing. And thanks @imakecoolstuff.bsky.social for the picture!

Other people designing: awesome art, detailed documentation Me: drawing stick figure kaiju doing cool shit #indiedev

REMINDER that our Twitch channel is dead, but you can still watch our mainstage stream on YouTube: youtube.com/@amazefest

So I found my new favourite game at @amazefest.bsky.social . Time to find some more!

Time flies fast, only 2 week till AMAZE. Wonder if there will be a #godot meetup there like last year. Gotta speed up development of my project to have something to show!

After painting 20 minis of Smoke Jaguars I decided that never again will I take on such a big painting project and only paint small forces from then on So then obviously the next force I started on was 38 minis worth of ComStar to fight them Seriously though, next one will be smaller #battletech

After weeks of painting, I've finally set up 1000 v 1000 point Alpha Strike ACES game where me and my kids play as ComStar and defend Tukayyid against the invading clan Smoke Jaguar. Let's get rolling! #battletech

After years of "I can't pull this off I am not an artist" I embraced "programmer art" and I am going with ASCII art for my new project. I am done implementing v0.1 of my love2d powered engine and now I can focus on implementing those mockups! #indiedev #gamedev

#gamedev is hard luckily past-me sometimes has my back 💖 #indiedev #godot

Ludum Dare on a weekend I can actually participate! It seems that this happens so rarely nowadays! I am in Pictured: My notes from LD14, where with the help of a crate of beer me and my mate started designing ideas for all of the themes. We used those ideas in our games over next 15 years #ldjam

After a day of looking at various resources, tweaking and playing with it, I have finally implemented a feature-complete state machine in #Godot. The application flow seems to be working as designed. Now on to the next challenge, the level system. #indiedev

Godot 4.4 was a massive success, and with most users migrating to it, we discovered and fixed a number of significant bugs which warrant a first maintenance release. So here's #GodotEngine 4.4.1, with over 100 bug fixes to improve your daily Godot experience! godotengine.org/article/main...

I have dreamt of singing La Isla Bonita really badly on a karaoke event at GDC. So badly in fact that I woke up from embarrassment. And yet I still felt sad when I realised it was just a dream and I didn't, in fact, go to GDC this year. Hopefully I'll manage to make a fool of myself at A MAZE.

This is why we have a "Rasheed gets assassinated, maimed, or disappeared" production plan for Dreams on a Pillow, his game about the Nakba. Israeli terrorists, Israel's occupation, and the US genocide all mean we have to prepare for this outcome for him, too. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

The Endless War sweeps the Human Sphere and you are mustered to fight. But you need to know the horrors you'll face on the battlefield, be they BattleMechs, Abominations, or the great powers of humanity. This is the universe primer to learn all about BattleTech: Gothic! bit.ly/BT-Gothic-Primer

I've been dreaming about making beat em up game with Wolfenstein influences recently, but I'll take a PoP Wolfenstein any day of the week. This one's good, too!
