I did find a solution to solve all controller related bugs

I'm spawning 2700 spells in a single frame (literally the maximum possible right now) and now the game does not crash nor freezes. I get a huge spike but lasts 100ms so I'll consider this a very big improvement. I'll need to spread the spell spawns over some frames but I'll call that a win for now🧙‍♀️

I think I've finished the workshop refactor... It took about 25 days but was 100% worth it. See how happy this lil guy is:

Spent too much time on a Reddit answer asking for advice on level design, but I'm too lazy to make a blog post, so please enjoy my thoughts on how to have fun designing levels when you're not a pro at it yet 😌 #GameDev #LevelDesign

Let me leak some work in progress #gamedev #indiedev

I might drop an update soon

Good morning to everyone but specially to players that are playtesting our game and giving feedback 🌟

So we got a big wave of new players in the playtest and now I have x3 the work I had a week ago, counting bug reports and general improvements. I am so happy, but now the idea of going full-time dev is growing even more each day 🧙‍♂️ Also this week we set a new record for concurrent players 🌟

Seeing the firsts long gameplays of 1 Billion Spells on youtube feels amazing, and also gives me perfect quality feedback so I can improve things 🌟

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

Here, have a little juice 🌟 #gamedev #indiedev

Ok now that I've played all the Subnautica 2 content its time to get back to develop my stuff Also we found an easter egg:

Glad to announce that the right-click stacking bug has been eliminated 🧙‍♀️ The workshop refactor is almost complete after 10 days 🌟 Who could have guessed that actually learning and using code patterns would be that helpful lol #indiedev #indiegame

Finally, after a lifetime of refactoring, I can finally do this: WIP, of course, and I dont know if particles should go like <, like > or like | (as it is now)

I want to post updates about the current Workshop refactor but I don't know where to start so I'll just post this instead

My next side side project might be just me replicating the movement of the Sly Cooper saga. Sly is so much fun to control.

Cooking hard right now: I'm re-making from scratch the workshop system. Hopefully the efford is worth it lol #gamedev #indiedev

Go and listen to this guys

New 1 Billion Spells version up! Join the playtest here: store.steampowered.com/app/2390410/...

Reflections might be my favorite thing in the game #gamedev #indiedev

The Astrolonomer has its own stage now 🧙‍♂️ (WIP) #indiedev #gamedev

Ok after 1 month I've set my side side project aside and went back to my main side project. I feel my developer battery fully charged🧙‍♀️ #gamedev #indiedev

I was bored enough to google myself and looks like some of my old 3D models are being used in some KH mods lol gamebanana.com/mods/363972

came across this screenshot of the Raft walkthrough we started during the pandemic with friends. veeery good memories

I might have started a side side project #gamedev #indiedev

This is what I call a productive weekend

A LOT of the last batch of cleaning the project has been de-entangling the magic we had with sprites. Aparently Unity has a bunch of options we did not know existed lol

New tutorial might be ready :0

No debugging needed here

The time to have an improved tutorial has come #gamedev #wip

if you wanna know the types of bugs I gotta deal with the one I'm currently investigating is "non binary cats with dwarfism crash the game if playing in brazilian portugese"

I'm refactoring and creating the new stage-transition logic. De-tangling code is both frustrating and rewarding, what a journey 🍝 So.... new stages and related stuff might be dropping in the next update 🌟 More at -> @icedropgames.bsky.social #indiedev

Cookin

Looks like I got sidetracked So... we have a new enemy behaviour in the game lol What should this enemy be? I can draw any polar function and they adapt. Fairy sprite is a placeholder. Give me your ideas!

So this new enemy is called book worm and I am not ashamed. Soon in @icedropgames.bsky.social 's 1 Billion Spells #indiedev #madewithunity

on behalf of my friends over at @icedropgames.bsky.social - ULTRAPOOL! store.steampowered.com/app/4195110/... Demo is also up on iOS and Android stores!
