It's great seeing Destroy All Humans! still being remembered. #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N1h...

This looks addicting and fun. From a solo developer. #indiedev #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/4900980/...

Please read this important update on UK and EU Cartridge and Super Pocket pricing. https://evercade.co.uk/evercade-cartridge-and-super-pocket-uk-and-eu-price-increase/

Games from the 80's and 90's were fun, some had a save system and others had a set amount of lives for the player. Finishing a game with limited lives was the ultimate reward for me. When did we move away from a limited amount of lives to infinite? Where is the challenge? #indiedev #retrogames

A UX decision that I go back and forth on is having the Inventory screen in a Pause menu or an overlay on the screen with 50% opacity to see your character and level. I could even take the old Sierra game route and just have it on the top or bottom the entire time. #indiedev #gamedev #metroidvania

It’s hot out. Stay cool, listen to THE STARLOG PODCAST. Full video with David Koepp here: youtu.be/56dLA9Nxp6M

Evercade Retro Game System, still makes physical media. Hopefully more Indie developers can get the chance to publish on their platform. I think the biggest obstacle is optimizing for the console. Nice presentation here from Blaze. #evercade #retrogame #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=texd...

Campfire Cabal discussing Expeditions:Samurai on the podcast Eskapisterne. Looking forward to this game! Also, the podcast is in Danish. #indiegame #expeditions #thqn eskapisterne.dk/2026/06/21/a...

The trailer and announcment for a game I have been working on. Expeditions Samurai! Great team! #gamedev #indiegame youtu.be/NEcDkH8jHzY?...

I am looking forward to this. #gamedev www.ign.com/articles/ign...

Developing game and player mechanics versus level design and finding the balance between those systems have always been a struggle. Do you design a level and then the mechanics as you go? Or is it vice versa? How do you find that middle point? #gamedev #indiegame

One lesson I learned is having the persistent system in place early, it can save a lot of frustration later on. This goes for doors, elevators, and switches in your game. It makes prototyping levels with transitions less stressful. #indiegame #gamedev #2dgame

Working on my indie game and setting controller types between different platforms. My Evercade gamepad is recognized as something else on the backend. Interesting. You can find a database of game controller mappings here github.com/mdqinc/SDL_G... #gamedev #indiegame #evercade

A console that I play often is the Evercade, a catridge based system. Older games from the C64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum, Intellivision and Atari days. There is something magical about opening up a game case with a cartridge, a game book, and sometimes a poster in it. #indiedev #gamedev #evercade

All will be revealed March 31st at 4pm BST, 11am EDT and 8am PDT. Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube and hit the notifications bell to be alerted when our announcement goes live! https://www.youtube.com/@EvercadeRetro?sub_confirmation=1

Why is there such a high base cost for Mega Lights? Using Unreal for many years, I feel like there are separate Eco Systems within Unreal that don't necessarily work well with each other. Every new feature is a fun challenge at times. Other times, not so fun. #gamedev

Great studio and project. #gamedev #thqn campfirecabal.com/still-alive/

Been a long time since I posted in a while, currently working with a great studio on a new project as a Senior Technical Artist. I will try and post up more later. #gamedev

One task that takes up so much time is creating animations for the characters. Since this is a Third Person game, getting the correct placeholder animations also means making the animations myself if possible. A long process that is worth it in the end. #indiegamedev

Captain Future, Starcom, Voltes V, and Gatchaman are some of my favorite. #anime #indiegamedev

The inspiration for my indie game may or may not come from me being a huge Captain Future fan. #indiegame #anime #captainfuture

Overview video of retargeting a Mixamo animation in Houdini to export. I needed to add a root bone to the rig until I get something proper added. Now I can add animation layers to the existing mocap if needed. #indiegamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK22...

Why would anybody upload their backup autosave files to source control? Why? Just upload the file, isn't this the whole point of source control? Also, please stop numbering your files, we have source control. Just a friendly reminder. #gamedev

Currently implementing Vaulting over objects and just realized my skeleton does not have a root bone since I am just using proxy anims. Created a quick setup in Houdini to get a root bone and retarget the animation back to the new rig. Small setback that is worth it in the end. #indiegamedev

Everyday is some sort of coding on this project. While I don't see immediate results, I know it is one step closer to my goal. #indiegamedev

I removed jumping from the game since most of it is in close areas, there is a kind of jumping which you pull yourself up into a crawlspace. I was wondering if vaulting over objects and rolling would be a better replacement? Trying to get player controller locked down first. #indiegamedev

Crouch has been enabled which I am still debating on which method to implement. Does the player hold the button or just tap the button and toggle crouch? Something I will have to test during the design phase. #indiegamedev #gamedev

We finally beat #Minecraft and the credits were around 35 minutes long. It was worth every second.

I am at a crossroads here with jumping in games. Some modern games have a jump and others don't have one at all. Is there a design choice to not have jump in a game? Besides not jumping in real life on a daily basis, what is the reasoning to not have it? Excluding FPS games. #indiegamedev #gamedev

I just finished Fort Solis, impressive game, beautiful lighting, wonderful voice acting and great story. I was really immersed in the game while playing. #fortsolis www.gog.com/de/game/fort...

Now that EA is going independent, can we finally get a Racing Destruction Set sequel? #gamedev #ea

I feel like the camera should be closer to the character when the environment is a hallway in order to create tension and anxiety while you are playing. When the camera was too far away I didn't feel immersed while I was testing the character controller. #indiegamedev

Camera movement for a Third Person character is tricky. Do you have the camera follow the players direction or do you make it independent with the right Joystick? Both are implemented for testing and I am not sure if this can be solved without knowing more game mechanics. #indiegamedev

Last night I was able to fix the controller drift that kept happening. A simple fix as I was using get_action_raw_strength instead of get_action_strength for my Input. That was an interesting fix. Now, it is all about trying to get the animation to play all the way through. #indiegamedev #godot

I finally figured out why the camera hasn't been switching to over the shoulder view from Third Person view due to one variable. Changes are checked in, logged out and now it is time to play some games. Specifically #Blippo+ #indiegame #gamedev 🎮 📺 🪐

Pre-Launch page on kickstarter for MythBeasts is up for everyone willing to check it out. Every follow there is as always appreciated just like here. www.kickstarter.com/projects/myt... #indiedev #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #pokemon #rpg #strategy #indiegames

I just found out Elevator Action Returns is out on Steam. The best entry in the Elevator Action series and I love the pixel art of this game. #retrogames #retrogaming store.steampowered.com/app/1913680/...

We're within striking distance of that title belt hanging over the ring! Check out the campaign for all of the Hailing From supplements (Warlock Pro Wrestling, Five Rings Wrestling Alliance, New Year's Fray + The Big Store) as well as the core book, to fill out your WWWRPG stable.

I am really looking forward to playing this game - #blippo+ www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f69...

A good friend of mine let me play his last gen copy so now I have all the achievements in everything Destroy All Humans related on Xbox that was made by Black Forest Games. I hope you guys get todo more DAH in the future! 💚👽 @adriango.bsky.social @gamedevglen.bsky.social

I've been trying to recreate Boids system, and I know they are plenty of open source and plugins available. For the type of project I have it needs to be customizable. A great explanation of the three rules of Boids. #indiegamedev #gamedev #unrealengine www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtq...

Figured out a nice workflow which is fairly cheap, only about 10 nodes total in the graph. Shader complexity is somewhat in the green, at least for the RVT Terrain. Textures are from #3dex on Gumroad. RVT Terrain blending with assets in #unreal #unrealengine #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6-P...

Navigation Mesh Exporter plugin for Unreal. I could have used this on many projects, I have spent a lot of hours setting up Nav Meshes and blockers in UE. Just putting it out there for others to find an easy way to refine the Nav Mesh. #unreal #gamedev #indiegamedev www.fab.com/listings/1c9...

Campfire Cabal announcement on their website. Great to see this studio continue to create wonderful games. #gamedev #campfirecabal campfirecabal.com/still-alive/

I'm a fan of the Expeditions series and it is good to read that the studio is still around. #campfirecabal #thq #gamedev www.thqnordic.com/article/we-d...

@burkeblack.bsky.social is playing Stellaris:BioGenesis which to me is a game version of the Alternity RPG. Both are great games! #paradoxinteractive www.youtube.com/watch?v=USGl...

Interesting blog containing the lecture notes of Eric Larson and Ham Luske, two of Disney's Old Masters. The 'Nine Old Men' #Disney #animation #cartoon www.animationmeat.com/notes/nineol...

We have another CP:Red game tonight and one of the players is asking about Cyberpets a couple of hours before the game starts. Now I need to figure out how I can include them in a mission or rescue one? Endless options. #cyberpunk #ttrpg rtalsoriangames.com/wp-content/u...

I remembered an old pulp magazine I had packed away somewhere and found it online. Astounding Science Fiction, published in 1947 "Man's Greatest Achievement Is A World Destroyed By Atomic Fire". This quote has stuck with me my entire life and I will never forget it. #scienceficition #scifi #comic

I wonder if I can revisit an older game I played and add miniatures to it? Does anyone even play Alternity anymore? That was a fun sci-fi adventure. #Alternity #ttrpg
