Workshop is coming along 🙌

Making a game about #rocks as my next project. Currently in the ass stage of making it astonishing 😆 But it's coming along nicely! #gamedev

Lmao the new game I'm working on is conceptually simpler than some of the other projects I've worked on but it's LITTERED with unique UI elements and different cameras, throwing me for a loop a bit 😅

I'm curious what Affinity's announcement is gonna be in regards to the "creative freedom" today. Hoping it's something super useful and not a rug pull for the existing customer base :)

BOO! (the scary ghost kind) Anyway How to Make a Video Game All By Yourself is 50% off as part of the Itch Halloween Sale 2025: valadria.itch.io/how-to-make-...

I need an in game calendar for my current project(s), and I am resisting the urge to make an overkill solution by rebuilding an actual calendar 🫠

Rainy PNW hiking #pnw

Hiking and finding cool rocks is a blast, but I GOT TO SEE AN OWL 😍😍 I was carrying our toddler and my wife looked up from tying her boot to see a shadow swooping down at us from behind!! It was trying to be all imposing in the rain but I know behind those talons is a 2lb raging cotton ball 🤗

The truism of "if you can't make ot fun woth just cubes, you can't make it fun with amazing graphics" just highlights this point. Point A has a powerup. Point B has health. Point C a secret door. Point D is the exit. That's your level at its most stripped back.

Trying to chisel away at some mineral stone we got rockhounding recently, a fragment split off and it has quartz, grossular garnet, and epidote all clustered together

You'd think a day of adventure would wipe a toddler out but instead it's me, barely awake face down on the floor while she begins to dump out the magnet tiles 🤣

#gamedev has been going strong despite radio silence. Full time dad life + good weather has me very busy 😊 Been doing lots of concept art work to get to a better spot for Emberhold! And trying to come up with a creative way to link Pinehearth with it! Pinehearth is also getting an update but TBA

Tumbling some rocks, will it be shiny or sand I could read instructions but where's the fun in that I skimmed some though

Something that might seem a bit silly from the outside but has made working on Emberhold a pure joy again is that I'm trying to make sure whatever I'm working on, I can have my toddler playtest #gamedev can feel challenging for me while juggling parenting, but this has made it a little less so!

Swapped the demo for "Tides of Tethys" to have its own steam page, where people can now leave reviews for the demo and give feedback. Check it out if you haven't :D store.steampowered.com/app/3477630/...

A burl found we found on a hike yesterday, not 500 feet from a bible someone abandoned a while ago next to a giant moss covered tree. On the cover of the bible was a faded note saying "Mommy loves you. Daddy loves you. We're so proud of you" The energy was so eerie there. We left quite quickly.

These boxes won't break themselves #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Drawing is just so fun once you loosen up and hit that flowing stage Doesn't matter if its detail work or concepting 😌

So excited for @seattleindies.bsky.social SLICE 2025 tomorrow

The old adage "measure twice, cut once" can be applied to #gamedev too @chrisdeleon.bsky.social has mentioned the importance of effective prototyping methods in the past, like building the facade of the mechanic before implementing it Or you can be like me, gutting my mechanic for the 3rd time 😌

Doing some morning drawing and I'm like "haha why does my cheek tickle??" and I brush my face to discover a spider crawling on it. Whyyyyy

A mop has been the life saver for budding toddler independence 😂 Amazing to watch the little one pour water/juice/tea, but sometimes that cup is a slippery target

Working on biomes for Pinehearth! Still just rough concepting at the moment, but a large number of changes planned for 1.2 :) #gamedev #b3d

#adhd people who are working solo or "very remotely", have you had any luck supplementing the body doubling/surrounded by people working aspect of work? Sometimes, I can call a friend and talk their ear off for 20-40 min while working and that does the trick. But I start working at 5am some days

When I mean to use 😂 but use 😹

I love that every aspect of #gamedev is a rabbit hole that you can spend ungodly amounts of time in Yesterday I spent my whole working time making a cool looking map 😅 I had 2 other tasks I was intent on at least starting

Is there a way in #b3d #blender to make it so the eraser will default to "erase alpha" instead of just using the background/foreground color inverse?

A book I have been reading talked about "a way to face a sense of dread was to write it out. Get it out on paper, get it out into the world so you can see it for what it is." This same concept can be applied to game dev! App dev! Whatever you are working on or learning, really.

idea guys: "AI stole my job"

Why hello coffee on the counter from this morning that I forgot about 😏 Don't mind if I do #adhd

How long did it take you to go from "okay I see how this works" to "this is a comfortable tool" using #b3d geometry nodes? I'm still working towards comfort with it but one thing that helped me a ton was just playing around with nodes for 15-20 min a day and trying to make recipes from play

Material Maker 1.4 now has its first Release Candidate. We're just a few bug fixes away from final release! rodzilla.itch.io/material-mak...

Creative fear but present #art #b3d #bnpr

Big ol moth

Yo #gamedev people I have already released Pinehearth, but I'm feeling like it could be a little bit.. nicer. I think one of the misses right now is the art direction. I went for a pretty hand painted look, but I'm fairly resource & time constrained. Do you prefer the cute variant or original?

We need to celebrate the Canadian gamedev scene more. Lets list out all the games we can, built at least in part by Canadian gamedevs. I'll get us started with Balatro. Now you go. #CanadianGamedev

Dont forget to de-shrimpify your posture if you can 🦐 I swear it triples the amount of oxygen you get in each breath #gamedev #programming

Anyone else using #todoist for project tracking/management? I've been using it for both personal and development stuff, but I end up having a sprawling number of projects, it's kinda hard to keep them organized. I also have a runaway task list (just keep adding more and more) 😅

Pro #gamedev tip Prepping screenshots is such a process for posting to storefronts, but this time I actually made sure I had a way to take screenshots in the game/editor! Huge time saver! Seems minor but then when you're trying to snag 4-5 screenshots across 5-6 form factors, it adds up!

What's that?? A new #indiegame dropping out of nowhere? Pinehearth is out now on iOS and Android! pacificember.com/pinehearth/

@tonikopantoja.bsky.social releasing an absolute gem of an animation youtu.be/Lon0GAmXz6s?...

#unity3d should consider changing the default text display for #android logcat The red + editor gray combo is truly awful. Could be an accessibility thing, but what the hell lol

If you have #adhd and are a #parent to a kid who has not hit the hard-core exploring the house and "risk taking behavior" lmao.. Everything we hid away for safety or because it was valuable is now lost to the void

Chill vibes in the early morning, then straight chaos for 16 hours until bedtime 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year

With #unity3d I vastly under-utilize "presets" I didn't realize you could just create import presets as well 😂 Importing icons = 3 clicks easier now! docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Docum... #gamedev

Getting a phone stand for my desk was the best #mobiledev choice of my life I don't have to worry about bending the cable in the port, or setting my phone on the weird sticky spot on the cafe table And when my internet goes out, I can find a good hotspot point, then leave my phone upright there

Honest to god there is no way #audio engineers look at this all day right 😭 Makes me want to go appreciate all the beautiful #sfx and #music in games and movies I didn't appreciate enough before

Tag Studio is of my favorite apps I've used to keep #art and references organized. Even works for other file types too! #productivity 😊 github.com/TagStudioDev...

Our #aquarium is getting quite full lol
