Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

WIP of a level of the #Playdate game. And today I learned about Aseprite's custom brushes. Thanks we live in a reality where they exist, as drawing each pixel by hand would be a nightmare.

After months of procrastinating, this week was the week I finally moved to Linux. I can't say goodbye to Microsoft, but at least it's a see you later.

The Nameless City has 49 and it's $6 store.steampowered.com/app/2987830/...

if you only buy indie games that have been vetted by 1k+ reviews you go to super hell. spend 5 dollars on a game that looks neat and has 10 reviews.

Not a lot of progress (or at least not visually). Refactored the items system so the UI syncs better with the save system, to allow the player to use items in combat, etc. So you can throw a bomb (*pending animation*) to a skeleton now. #Playdate #GameDev

FEELERS OUT for this month’s bold & bizarre games bulletin Looking for offbeat games for Feb (either announced or released) which will feature in our newsletter hitting nearly 40k inboxes and steam curator page Link me your games #indiedev (and share pls 🙏) store.steampowered.com/publisher/Pa...

Finished a small prototype to test some mechanics. It was ok, so I'm planning on keep working on it to have a demo I can publish. I've been doing more backend stuff. Started building an item system and synced it with the save system. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's something! #PlayDate #GameDev

Almost 50 reviews!

TL;DR we used gen AI content on 'The Nameless City' as an artistic choice, but we've removed it because of all the damage the technology is doing. A bit more info here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/298... #Lovecraft #IndieGame #HorrorGame

We did what we had to do!

Transition for loading new levels in the #Playdate game. The native Playdate class doesn't have a way to revert an animation out of the box, so probably I'll just code a custom one later, as I don't want to duplicate the fade in and fade out transitions. #IndieDev #IndieGameDev

I don't know who played Metroid Prime and thought 'Hmm, what this game needs is an annoying NPC who gives you advice on how to solve puzzles and kill enemies!'.

Programming some systems for the #Playdate game. It can save some variables in one scene (the player fell from the bridge) and read them on another scene (if the player fell, the enemies attack immediately). With this I can create more interesting levels. #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegamedev

Worked a bit more on the #Playdate game this week. Loading new levels, harming the player on the 'exploration' mode, etc. #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegamedev

Repost for #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #pixelart #Playdate

I haven't posted in a while! I've been doing some code for an 'exploration' mode of the #Playdate game. Doing the door sprite took me more time than it should, as it's a placeholder. But doing pixel art is fun.

I've been refactoring the code of the Playdate game so it can work on PC too. For the PC version, I'm using Love2D, as it's kind of similar to how the PD works. Not sure if I want it to have colors, but now there's the possibility! #gamedev #pixelart #ScreenshotSaturday

It's a #HorrorFriday once again! Horror devs, artists, composers & creators; drop your spooky projects in this thread! I’ll be retweeting to help you get seen. It's been a while since we did one of these. 🎃

Finished the basic lifecycle for the combat. You can kill enemies... But they can also kill you! And a placeholder message appears when that happens. #gamedev #Playdate #pixelart #indiedev

Still a long way away, but speaking of #gamedev stuff I am working on a project in Godot :)

INSANE BREAKTHROUGH. What if there was a fracture at the end of the universe? Also I learned how to make gifs from the Simulator. #gamedev #playdate #pixelart #fractals

More #gamedev for the #Playdate game. Refactored the code to show a (placeholder) animation before updating the character vitality. (Imaging that the roman numerals are the sprites of a cool attack animation). #pixelart #indiedev

Almost done with asset visdev decisions for my retro horror game. The 3 rules I've set for details in my low poly constraints are: 1. Is it part of the main silhouette? 2. Is it interactable? 3. Does it make for cool light? If none of these, bake into the normal map. #gamedev #indiegames #blender
