Main Menu is starting to look like something! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Had two close ones playtest Saunagon Escape earlier this week. About an hour of gameplay, and loads of great feedback on the puzzles and setting. Watching someone else play your game for the first time is something special. Back to polishing! ✨ #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

Little details are what makes the difference ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Went outside to record some SFX on ice at −22°C. Got a few good ones for my game, and also frozen fingers 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I’m drawing the background for my game's main menu, and I'm really liking how this is turning out. This is still the first, unpolished version, but here goes. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Wish it was as snowy outside as in my game's Outdoor Pool area ☃️ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godot

Working on the 2nd version of my game's title screen image. Really happy how this is turning out! 😎 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godot

All 7 rooms are now in place, phew! What started as one sauna grew into a bigger complex with even outside areas. I still need to create and draw a couple of puzzles (plus menus and intro and endings...!), but it's starting to feel closer to done. 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Today marks 3 years since I published my first mobile game on Google Play. It's a humorous, endless beer runner. I made it with Godot 3. It's been downloaded only a few hundred times, but played thousands of times, which I'm happy about! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Creating these little puzzles in my game feels like making a game inside my game. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Every sip of coffee makes this poster creep a little closer into my game world. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Red metal, cold as the winter outside. My pockets? Empty. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godot

There’s something oddly peaceful about drawing a restroom at 7 AM with a cup of coffee. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Room by room, pixel by pixel... The escape sauna is coming together. 4 rooms in, about 60% done I think, and it’s starting to feel real. To all other devs: keep on keeping on! 🔥 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

The lock didn’t need a key. Only movement. Like a memory you’ve almost forgotten... but your hands still remember. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

The vending machine hums quietly in the Locker Room. It wants something you don’t have, yet. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Somewhere beneath the ice, a key lies buried. Dodge the perch and pikes, hook the key, and reel it in without losing it. Does this look too tricky or just the right level of challenge? 🎣 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Built a huge inventory script weeks ago. It works. I fear it. And now I must return… for one small feature. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Ngl, after finishing my game's room 3 I hit the brakes. I didn’t know what puzzles came next or how the story would end, and that drained my motivation. Went back to my GDD, designed the path, and now I'm hyped to build again. Well designed is half done. ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

There’s just something super satisfying about drawing and coding fish 🐟 These ones don’t get caught, though. They get in your way! #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #pixelart #godot

Wake up, sheeple! My debut game Flocking Hell IS NOW ON STEAM! 🥳🥳🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/3236280/... Flocking Hell is a deeply strategic roguelite where you defend your pasture from demonic invasion 🐑😈 Now go! It’s time to join the flock ;) #IndieGame #TurnBased #Strategy #Roguelite

Nothing like a refreshing dip in the frozen lake! 🧊 Or maybe I’ll just stay by the grill... #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Drawing a hole in the ice while sipping hot coffee - true balance ☕️ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart #pixaki

I underestimated how long it takes to make some simple switches. But hey, now they work! … Right? 👀 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

The flooding 2nd room of my isometric escape-the-room game has progressed nicely this week. Soon I'll get to work on the 3rd "room", which will be Outside Pool 🥶🧊 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #screenshotsaturday

Duck #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

You'll float too. ☔ Thundershower visual prototype is done for now. Time to dive into development tomorrow! 🏊‍♂️ The end result should have flashing lights and music, and also some electrifying puzzles.. ⚡ #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Spent last week designing puzzles for my game's 2nd room and this week drawing it. The room is still wip, but it's taking shape! Love doing pixel art with iPad Mini btw, easy to take everywhere 🚗💨 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

In January my goal was to work on my game every single day and get some bigger features done, such as save/load game and room change functionality. Got all this done and some more, yay! In February I'm building the second room 🧩✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Changed my game’s resolution from 320x180 to 256x192, and somehow everything feels better! Gotta reposition the room selection buttons somewhere next :] 🧩 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Created some room selection art for the left side of the UI, will animate them later. Not sure about the final UI structure yet, but we'll see. So much space horizontally with 320 x 180! 🌌 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Yuss, I got an automatic save & load implemented into my game! It was 10x easier in Godot than I expected. Now, every time player makes an action or picks up an item, it gets saved 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Diving into Save & Load mechanics today! Last time I tackled this was two years ago, and apparently my brain didn’t save the process either. Time to do some relearning! 📚 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Been adding room change functionality under the hood and also improved code for all sorts of tricky game testing! ✨ The first room is nearly finished, only some SFX recording remains. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godotengine

First version of my game's title screen image. Planning to animate the clouds, smoke and snow! ❄️ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godotengine

When you add a cool new feature... And see something major breaks in the background. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Goal for January: Get the Sauna room finished! 🛠️ This means polishing pixels and recording SFX, and yes, maybe taking a mic into the sauna. The things we do for game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart

The background ambience is in, and suddenly my game feels more like... a game! All these tiny details add up 🧩🎶 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godotengine #solodev

It’s a great feeling realizing the main systems and mechanics are nearly done - soon it’s all about content creation! ✨ #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godotengine

Recording stone sounds for my game outside. Neighbours asked what I was doing, and I said "game development." Their face: #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Can’t decide: playful background music or winter forest ambience? ❄️ Playful is funnier, but ambience makes all the little SFX pop. Pretty sure I’ve spent more time overthinking this than actually making the game lately 😜 #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #solodev

Found this nice overview of useful #Godot editor shortcuts, some of which I didn't know! From @lyumogames.bsky.social's blog. #GodotTips #GodotTip

Confession time! I’ve been avoiding developing one big feature: handling room changes. Save and load them? Hide and show? I have traumas of memory leaks 😭 In the meantime, I’ve mastered the art of refactoring and adding small stuff to dodge the hard decisions 💪 #gamedev #solodev #godotengine

Created some reaction bubbles for the gnome! 💭 He’s got opinions now, and he’s not afraid to bubble them up. #gamedev #solodev #godotengine #pixelart

I used to make these #godotengine tips and post on Twitter. Time to try it here as well! #godot #gamedev

My beer running game "Super Fast 6-Packs" was originally an HTML5 game, but I couldn't get it run smoothly as an apk. Then I remade the game with #GodotEngine and got superb mobile performance. Still happy about it! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

It’s amazing how little sound effects can bring a game to life ✨ #gamedev #solodev #godotengine #pixelart

Worked hard to get ads in my first game on Google Play, but AdMob might close it down if no one plays 😔 If you have a moment to play, it’d mean the world to this small dev. Thank you in advance! 💙 Download link, "Super Fast 6-Packs": play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #solodev #godotengine
