Picked up Vampire Crawlers and I'm really enjoying it so far. I believe I've figured out my opinion on Deck Builders in general: My enjoyment of a deck builder is inversely proportional to how much text is on the average card.

The most controversial video I will ever post on my channel. Thinking of starting a project using #GameMaker? Give this a watch first. youtu.be/bdkoigqgm7Q

Made something for a member of the #gamemaker Discord Server and thought I'd share it on my github as an example! github.com/PixelatedPop...

In our Spring Update blog we introduced our new GameMaker CLI tool. Here's a neat video on how to use it! 🔗 youtu.be/O-Oe-LxwC4M

I have a feeling I'm going to regret spending this much time making a 30 minute video that tells people they shouldn't make the project they want to make...

I recently created the promotional art for @jamierowan.bsky.social indie game! Called Lelu, it's about a little toy going through many challenges and secrets in a toy factory! #gameart

Took me a few tries to get the hang of it... but yeah, this is a great twist on Minesweeper! Definitely give it a shot

Awesome and well deserved!

final boss - a bit of a ganondorf OOT reference in there of course :) #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

I may have overcooked for this #GameMaker transition system... it feels like the tutorial video is gonna be like 3 hours longs. Maybe another Beginner -> Expert series incoming?

MFW writing a tutorial on simple doors and room transitions, but end up writing instructions for completely replacing the room start event.

The second half of my new Pausing in #GameMaker tutorial is out! #tutorial #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Acy...

An absolute must watch video

Very sad to hear that Sandy Duncan has passed. Without Sandy's considerable investment, leadership, and team building, there would be no GameMaker today. It would have faded into memory long ago, and many wonderful indies might never have realized their dreams. RIP.

Fields of Mistria’s 4th Major Update arrives February 23rd ✨

You know, I thought when I made this that everyone would be caught off guard by the idea of deactivating an instance for only PART of a step, but -apparently- the real surprise is the existence of TAGS.

No new #gamemaker video this week, but I'm very excited about next week's video! "GM Anatomy: Code Execution Order"

Last video in my new #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series is out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl5K...

Adding in a bit of ✨Game Juice ✨ (a couple visual effects or sound effects) can really change how fun your game feels!

Adding responsive feedback to your interactions can make simple actions SUPER satisfying!

Part 3 of my 4 part #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series is out now! Follow along as we add features like zooming, camera shaking, and more to our camera system! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0RJ...

Last couple of days have been really productive. Released the 2nd Cameras tutorial, and recorded the Voice Over for THREE new videos. Super excited to get these out. Probably some time in the middle of January - Early February.

You have a #gamemaker game, and it's on the Steam or Itchio Winter Sale? Reply with your game then, I'll repost them all!! #indiegame #gamedev #Steam #itchio

My next #gamemaker video series is all about Pausing! Here's a sneak peek of what you end up with after you finish it. This is done using a system unlike anything you've ever seen in a pause tutorial... as far as I know... I'm not omniscient 🤷‍♂️. #gamedev #indiedev #hashtagsaresilly

Cheers everyone who's been playing the Lelu demo, it really means a lot! If you haven't played yet, here's a link to the steam demo - store.steampowered.com/app/3131340/... #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Part 1 of my new #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series! Probably not going to be terribly helpful for most of you experienced users as this is intended for brand new GM users who just want to size their window and get a very basic camera up and running. youtu.be/gWaPZQiB9RQ

You’ve started making your game but when should you start playtesting? The short answer is: Now! @oandcogames.bsky.social show how to playtest your game the right way. 🔗 youtu.be/bk5tAZ-J1yg

As I'm going through and putting the finishing touches on the new Camera Series, I have to constantly remind myself that it's okay they aren't "perfect." Even if my YouTube channel is 10 years old, I'm basically starting over and having to re-learn all these skills.

@pixelatedpope.bsky.social loves creating written tutorials on Reddit, video tutorials on YouTube, releasing useful tools and systems and helping others through Discord. 🔗 www.pixelatedpope.com

And this is why we don't preemptively optimize. If you have a problem, and then you put in a solution to fix it, you can immediately test if it had any effect at all. If you just think something might be a future problem, and you try to solve it... you get this...
