What are some ways that folks have found success in promoting their games on itch.io?

What is the hardest part of game dev and why is it getting the camera to feel right???

@pixquare-app.bsky.social I’m loving the app for iPad, but I have a question! Can I drag/move animation cels from frame to frame or from one layer to another with drag and drop? I couldn’t figure it out and ended up copying and pasting each cel of an animation I was working on to move it.

Taking a break from code refactoring to work on animations for a new puzzle mechanic #pixelart #gamedev

Incredibly happy with the game dev progress today. I started wiring up the levels to use the new trigger system I built, replacing a complicated mess of spaghetti code strewn across all of my levels and entities with a much more robust and flexible node-based approach. #godot

Feature or bug? #godot #gamedev

I need to follow more #godot devs on here. Who should I be following? 👀

I started refactoring the triggering/event system in my most recent game, and it's been way more fun than I could have ever imagined. I have so many new puzzle ideas that are already possible with what I've done so far and I'm only maybe halfway finished? Components in #Godot are the way.

Got PR previews working for my web game dev workflow with Godot. Now each time I open a new PR against my project I can preview the build before merging and publishing to itch 🎉

happy gay everyone 🌸☀️🌊

This one took first place in the jam it was submitted to. Check it out! More content and updates likely coming later too.

Did something very different for my Scream Jam 2025 entry: I made a 3D survival horror game with tank controls and retro styling reminiscent of early RE and Silent Hill games. Check out Don’t Let Them In! tbleazy.itch.io/dont-let-the...

I’ve forgotten how absolutely unhinged the scoring animations are at bowling alleys

3 bugs, 2 levels, and some amount of polish still left to go for my Bloomin’ Lumens update Why does everything in game dev have to take so much longer than it feels like it should take? 😂

Whoa! So cool to see my game up there alongside several other really awesome games! I’m hoping to publish my post-jam update for Bloomin’ Lumens by the end of the week: new levels, mechanics, and more challenging puzzles!

My cozy plant and RGB-based puzzle solving game for B1t Jam 2 is now live! Check out Bloomin’ Lumens at tbleazy.itch.io/bloomin-lumens

One last doodle for the night 🔥🌚

Also landed a new environmental hazard in Tunafall Protocol today 🔥🥵 I can’t wait to get this update out!

Exploring new palettes tonight

And now for one of the enemies in the game.

Work in progress player animations for my latest game, Tunafall Protocol

Been really enjoying putting the finishing touches on a really small Metroidvania that I made and submitted to two jams last week. Tons of bugs patched, new enemies added, player controller tweaks, and soon I’ll be breathing even more life into it with more animations.

Super fun collab making Princess Pesce for the 2025 NES Jam! Check it out if you’ve ever wanted to play a cozy, tower defense style game on the NES tbleazy.itch.io/princess-pesce

A day late, but I had to give this one a run; I love platformers! What’s your favorite platformer game? #platformer #pixel_dailies @pixeldailies.bsky.social

I wasn’t super happy with the lighting on the cape for this one, so I did a bit more tweaking and I’m really liking it better. Now wondering if should add more light to her front left sleeve to give it a little contrast boost and separate it more from the cape?

Today’s theme is #pattern A tile mosaic! @pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies #pixelart
