Feeling burned out on your own game? Come hang out and recharge when Tim starts a 100 day game challenge. Join the kickoff party on twitch.tv/timbeaudet on October 1st (6am ET / 10:00 UTC) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

There is a set of choices that you can make that lead to a million dollars! I am making choices with my adventure to build and release more games. The challenge I face is building my next game in 100 days... Let's see if this leads to $1,000,000 Then I'd be rich! #indiedev #gamedev #livestream

Can a game really be built in 100 days? From idea to release, see the code, each asset, every feature and even the bugs! Learn to leverage tools, hire help and make decisions for maximum efficiency during this 100 day game challenge. www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet #gamedev #indiedev #100daychallenge

Is it possible to make a game with 33 days of marketing and 99 days of development, to be released on the 100th day? Find out on www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet #livecoding #twitch #gamedev #indiedev

The IGDA has started to use "IGDAF" to describe themselves and I read it as IDGAF *every time.* It stands for the international game developers association foundation, but I really think they might want to reconsider the F on the end there.

Today is the first. For me, that is pay day. Unlike a normal payday this one sucks. It means I move money from my runway into an account where it disappears by the end of the month only to repeat the process. Someday I hope my runway grows. This is the challenge I am faced with. Grow thy runway.

Follow along with this Game Feel book club that started yesterday: www.gbgames.com/2025/04/29/g... #GameDev #IndieGameDev #GameDesign

I'm going to be doing a bookclub on Game Feel by Steve Swink, anyone can join! The discussions will happen weekly on my livestream & through reddit, starting with Chapter 1 and 2 on May 2nd. Lets make better games! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

I've watched this clip so many times! @timbeaudet.bsky.social was kind enough to test drive the Rollick N' Roll demo last week. You can check out his own indie adventure at www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet

Watch the transformation of this screen come to live today! www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet #indiedev #gamedev #user-experience

How it started vs how it is going ... is so AWESOME!! My game is starting to feel like a game!

Before and after of the Game Paused! menu in Turbo Boom! Today I'm tackling Level Select, join www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet to watch the transformation!! #indiedev #userexperience #gamedev

I built my own prefab system, the hard way. Similar to what Unity has, and wrote about the challenges and techniques used to solve the problems. Learn some maintainable C++ code tricks: dev.to/timbeaudet/t... #gamedev #cpp #indiedev #enginedev

Ever start to create something and think "I'll release this in a few days"... Then 6 months later still working while wondering when you'll actually be done? This is how I feel about technical articles I'm writing. #Feelings #gamedev #indiedev

Before and After of the Victory Screen in Turbo Boom! (demo coming soon)... #indiegame #racing #gamedev

Pretty awesome thoughts on sound design in games, any sound designers should give a watch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=07DI... #gamedev #audio #indiegames

23 racing/driving games released on Steam in February 2025. Only 3 made $10,000 estimating with Boxlieter(35). And one of those was III/AA. I'd love to play and review this one! store.steampowered.com/app/2943150/... Also - is parachutes/gliders a REQUIRED feature in skiing games?

Before and during of the new Victory Sequence for Turbo Boom! - watch it live www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet

Just a thing happening soon, business review on Sunday, March 2nd! How much money was spent, "earned" and lessons learned!

// TODO: TurboBoom! This code was pretty much in prototype, GO FAST, mode so it almost // certainly has memory/resource leaks and other issues that must be cleaned up. This comment is from Summer 2019. It is old enough to start reading. Can it fix itself if I wait a few more years?

timbeaudet.com/goods/screen... When art practice makes faces back at you!

tb_debug_log("And now we are here. This is where we are now!"); Well I now know where we are! #programming #gamedev

Surprise graphics issues are interesting. This was almost playable... almost. Am I ready to shipit? #programming #gamedev #indiedev

Do any other #indie #gamedev 's check their mail? From a physical mailbox?

Practicing Art in #blender3d so I can extend 3d skills before tomorrows business review. Join www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet tomorrow at 6am (0800 UTC) and see the difficulties of #indiedev #gamedev

Do you want to know the difficulties & challenges of #indiegamedev? Sunday I'll be reviewing my last month and looking forward. This includes finances, game sales, and what risks are most dangerous. Watch Sunday 6am EST (1100 UTC) on www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet

Soon to be #indiedevs: Would you make games even if you knew you'd never make more than $100 or become a name gamers revere? Can you make games even when you don't feel like doing so? If you answer no to either of these, enjoy #gamedev as a hobby, but don't plan your career around it!

You've probably felt the Valley of Despair while working on a project, you know when the fun ends and your motivation vanishes with a huge task list? Keep going, use discipline and momentum of small tasks, and just keep going. #gamedev #indiedev

I have a near impossible goal for 2025, become a Twitch #livestreaming partner in the #GameDev category. Is there anything you'd like to know or see about #indiegamedev and my adventure making games?

Found an awesome line from an old article I wrote: "The takeaway is that programming is often about persistence. Digging through concrete walls with a plastic spoon." It came after immense struggles writing my own Discord bot in C++, dev.to/timbeaudet/t... #cpp #programming #dev

Best part of being a solo indie game developer? No more meetings! (unless we count the 8hr daily meeting with twitch chat; www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet) #gamedev #indiedev

Third FULL year holding the lowest paying job I've ever held. I wouldn't change it for the world, being my own boss and choosing what to work on day after day is awesome. So many challenges, I will persist! #indiedev #gamedev

Sunday at 6am ET I'll be reviewing income/expenses and efforts of November 2024 while looking forward to December with big news!

What has the #indiedev / #gamedev communities been up to this weekend? Share this thread & your progress! So far I have: Updated performance display (consolidating FPS graphs). Wrote a portion of a technical article about my prefab work. Paid back a few other technical debts...

It seems to be bring your rubber ducky to work day! #gamedev #indiegamedev #programming

One day after school, a friend showed me how to code "Guess a Number" and even though I didn't understand variables (I thought "guess" was a keyword!) I knew INSTANTLY this was my calling. How did you get started in #programming / #gamedev? Was it as clear as it was for me?

Trying to play physics, instead making art! #gamedev #indiedev #livestream

Ever considered the technical challenge of writing a prefab system? (Similar to Unity's or Godot's scenes?). I was silly enough to add a prefab system to my custom editor in C++ and it was the most challenging accomplishment of my career. #AMA #gamedev #indiedev www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/co...

But more seriously, hello! I'm a fulltime #indiedev, streaming #GameDevelopment live on twitch and tomorrow is Market Research day. Join the stream to learn or discuss the process of #gamedev market research, as I dig through ~40 racing games released in October 2024.
