One year ago today I released my spare-time game Positron to Steam Early Access! To celebrate, it's currently discounted 33% until December. steam.positrongame.com/oneyear #GameDev #IndieDev #Steam #EarlyAccess #Discount #Sale #Positron #IndieGame

Ready for Wicked For Good. Saw Wicked at the theatre many years ago and loved it. Just watched Wicked Part One for the first time here at the cinema as part of a double bill tonight.

My point and click fantasy comedy adventure Twilight Oracle is now on GOG! Go get it while it's hot for 30% off! 🥳 www.gog.com/en/game/twil... #indiegame #indiedev #adventuregame #pointandclock #retrogaming #retrogames

Gamers really love Indie Games (when they're discounted). @positrongame.com sales for the past year (excluding the launch spike of about 80 units sold). I routinely offer a flat 25% discount during sale periods, and don't intend to go lower. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Steam #Sale

I'm considering making a single level playable demo of @positrongame.com that runs in browser, to attract more players to the full version on Steam. Shouldn't be too difficult as I made a simple level preview in WebGL ten years ago. martincaine.com/webgl/positr... #GameDev #IndieDev

🚨ALERT ALERT! IT IS #ScreenshotSaturday !🚨 I've made a quick tactical arcade stealth action game for CYBRPUNK Jam 011, where you play as a program searching for life-changing data from the Old Net... 🥷💻 Play WWWetwork Here: reindeerflo.itch.io/wwwetwork 🚬🖥️ #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Looking over steam releases daily and giving surface level thoughts on game quality and ideas presented. I choose games that I find interesting. One game is randomly selected from the releases of the day to give all games a chance. #gamedev #indiedev #steam

Check out my game Positron on Steam - Custom engine, written in C++ - Arcade-like, high contrast, vivid colours - Local splitscreen multiplayer coming soon - Maze, Snake, and Arena modes. steam.positrongame.com/screenshotsa... #screenshotsaturday #IndieGameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev

Another GaMaYo done. Thanks to the organisers and all those who came and played @positrongame.com. Might have even sold a few copies which is a bonus, as it's not really a consumer facing event. steam.positrongame.com/gamayo #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #Steam

Not to brag, but I just played all the way through a game that's been sitting unplayed in my Steam library for 11 years. It CAN be done! Believe in yourself, and you can do it too! #steam #gamiing #hunblebrag

Is anyone I know demoing at To The Moon Expo today? How's it been? How many players have you had? Any photos or videos to share? We had to pull out due to a scheduling conflict (and an opportunity to exhibit later in the month at Rezzed/EGX/MCM). #ToTheMoon #ToTheMoonExpo

Walking back home, almost midnight. See someone laid face down on the pavement. Rolled them over, an older gentleman, blood on his hand, mumbled a bit, wouldn't wake up, but breathing. Ambulance came out and saw to him within 25 minutes. Smelt of weed they said. Glad he was OK.

Check out Snake mode in Positron on Steam. #ScreenshotSaturday #Snake #Nokia3310 #Steam steam.positrongame.com/screenshotsa...

No shit; "Not enough time to change train". Luckily the app notified me of the delay and we were able to jump in an Uber to Mirfield.

Another hand drawn card made for one of my kids' birthday tomorrow. I'm not artistic enough to do this from scratch, but can copy close enough from a reference image :-) #OnePiece #Luffy #HappyBirthday

I just backed Vectrex Mini on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/185...

Bit of pub-dev on @positrongame.com between cinema visits today. Working on getting rumble working on controller, and maybe a bit of screen shake too. steam.positrongame.com #PubDev #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #IndieGame #NotMadeWithUnity

Its 1990, I'm 8 years old, and my Dad is taking me to the Cannon cinema in Wakefield for the first time, to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. 35 years later, I've just seen it at our local cinema. Still an amazing film. True to the source material. Great camera work, fights, and characters. #TMNT

I released my game @positrongame.com to Steam Early Access almost a year ago, and in that time it's sold... 175 copies 'Not bad' people say, but seriously? It's hard to stay motivated to develop the game further through Early Access. Player feedback is very positive, and keeps me going. #GameDev

I didn't even get a single reply to this. I'm literally offering to buy a copy of your game, play it, and review it. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #Steam

Who needs fancy level editors, when you have Paint(.NET)! Here's how my Wife @lauracaine.com paints the level layouts for @positrongame.com. #ScreenshotSaturday #BehindTheScenes #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev

Check out my game @positrongame.com on Steam. Busy working on some updates bringing new game modes, local splitscreen, and network multiplayer too! #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #SoloDev

Three years since I put together this Shigaraki 'costume' for my Daughter. Spent most of the month leading up to my 40th birthday making these hands in the evenings after work! Haven't done anything crafty like this since :-( #Shigaraki #Halloween #MyHeroAcademia #Anime #Cosplay

Out for a lovely steak dinner with my Beautiful Wife @lauracaine.com before the gig tonight (Megadeth+Disturbed), and my Birthday tomorrow.

I managed to sell off my Hyperbeast M4A1-S for £40 with the recent CS2 happenings. Any struggling #IndieDev out there with a game on Steam that I should check out (and review)? :-). #GameDev #IndieGameDev #SoloDev #Steam

Dude, where's my bike? No idea how this happened, tried to repro it unsuccessfully. Bike shows in reflections, just not in the main scene render! #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Graphics

Nonsense errors are always a pain. Visual Studio and X-Code both often report issues that aren't actually issues. Solution builds fine. Likely some sort of corruption of intellisense data, but this just shouldn't happen! #cplusplus #visualstudio #intellisense

Fancied a bit of a Steam page refresh for @positrongame.com. It's been a while since I've had to re-create all this media at all the required sizes! #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Steam #EarlyAccess #IndieGameDev

For too long I've had random alphabetic character keys mapped to debug functionality in my game @positrongame.com, so I'm shifting (most of) them to F keys now, but need a reminder of what I've changed them to, haha. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

I spent 6 months on the Disney lot in 2013 working on Joseph Kosinski’s TRON: Ascension with the incredible Production Designer Darren Gilford, David Levy, Annis Naeem, and Kristen Maloney. It took more than 10 years for it to evolve into TRON: ARES ....

One of my favourite things about writing my own game @positrongame.com in C++ is the quick build times. 8.287 seconds for a full rebuild of engine and game. I am using SDL2 for basic run-loop, input, and audio though :-p #GameDev #IndieDev

Shouted at my Son to wait so I could take this photo. A nice round number (if you're a programmer). #programming #powersoftwo

Since I made the bikes lean when turning, I've always found it looks odd that the trails had no lean or swoop to them on the turns. Working on adding that now, need to calculate the curve angle at the end point though. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #IndieGameDev @positrongame.com

Thought the trackpad on my laptop had broken, showing no signs of life. Quick search when we got home, and it brought up this FN+F5 which I must have accidentally pressed, which enables or disables the trackpad!

All sorted. Just missed a +3 offset for a vertex buffer upload. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #SoloDev #NotMadeWithUnity

Working on render optimisations for my #IndieGame @positrongame.com in today's #pubdev session down the local Wetherspoons. I suspect I've broken something, haha! #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGameDev

Eight years ago today. Shipped my first boxed game with Rogue Trooper: Redux. Huge project for our small team, rewriting the renderer and porting the game to modern consoles. We also hit Switch on the same day (but didn't do physical) :( #GameDev #2000AD #RogueTrooper

On the second viewing of TRON: Ares, I noticed how the programs in the Grid never blink. Makes sense, they wouldn't need to. However, when Ares joins Eve in our world, he starts to blink (occasionally). Athena remains program-like and unblinking throughout. #TRON #TronAres
