I scorched my monitors back a few inches and immediately felt like I have so much more room for activities. #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Finished adding in the full range of customization options to my character rig. All in all this project took about 9 hours to complete. Very happy with how this turned out. This week I'll get a UI set up for customizing characters. Stay tuned! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

Having a blast getting character customization set up for the new "Project 7". This will be sooo useful when I go to create little NPCs, and for players to customize their appearances. It's real nice to be working with Kinfolks assets again, too! PS: oops! #indiegame #godot #gamedev #pixelart

I mean… great lesson, since AOE was the first PC game I ever remember owning, when I was 6 years old.

86'd is officially released, and is 25% right now! If you find any issues, head over to my discord, and please leave some honest feedback with your thoughts! I really hope you enjoy the game! store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... <3 #gamedev #godot #cookingsim #pixelart #newgame

Since the game comes out tomorrow I figured I’d finish up my “how it got made” blog series on 86’d. It’s a raw look at my process and struggles. Giver a read, let me know if you enjoyed it! 🙏❤️ #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #postmortem hearthsidegames.itch.io/86ed/devlog/...

When we see stats about how many games are being published on steam or discounted for any given event, just remember... Hundreds, if not thousands of them, are these. Hang in there, indies. #gamedev #indiegames

Just in time for release day (tomorrow) @cryptidcatnsfw.bsky.social did up new key art for 86’d!! Let me know what you think! store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #artsky

48 hours to go until 86’d comes out. Shout out to the production babies from this game! #gamedev #indiegame #kitten #godot

With 48 hours to go before release, doing some last minute testing, I go to grab a coffee, leaving the game open on the main screen. I came back and... Where the actual FUCK did the options button go?!? #gamedev #indiegame #godot #solodev #pleasesendhelp

Two days left until 86d come out on Steam! This week has been a friggin grind. They didn’t tell me it would be this much work #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #sendgoodvibes

Tonights game dev session brought to you by coffee, evanesence and... natasha bedingfield? ok. #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #helpimlosingit

This is how the diner for the final level came together for 86'd. I'm really happy with it, although I miiiiight need to tweak the flames a little bit! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #cooking

Happy #feedbackfriday! Pretty happy with how this is coming together so far. A few more things to touch up on this and then that’s level 3 wrapped! What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

This morning I made time to listed to @andresplays.bsky.social podcast @littlevictoriesap.bsky.social. It was great to hear him interview @caraellison.bsky.social a whole lotta good stuff. Give it a listen if you're into #gamedev and #indiegame stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyaE...

Negative space baby. It can make things so much easier. Was looking to make this room feel more ominous. Still rough around the edges, but the vibe is there now. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

Started work on 86’ds opening scene for level 3. More work to be done, but I’m happy with the WIP so far. I like how much off putting vibe I can get out of so few elements in the scene. WL store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

Feedback from next fest was that the text was too fast, and people couldn't slow it down. So I added a delay to await input from the player, and a way to speed up the text if you don't want to (or have already) read it #gamedev #indiegame #wishlistwednesday #pixelart

I’ve got some new precision screwdrivers coming today. Going to take apart my laptop and see if I can’t fix the track pad

Pretty happy with this little morph effect that I put together. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #vfx #godot

If you’re looking for some laughs during #SteamNextFest this week, give 86’d by @hearthsidegames.bsky.social a try! It’s like #Overcooked but with #PixelArt #Goblins store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... #Godot #Gamedev #IndieGame

Game art WIP thingie! <3 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I'm really happy with how the menu for 86'd turned out, with the dishes flying around. If I had more time, I'd make them shatter when they hit, but that's for another game I guess! What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #steamnextfest

Friendslop firefighter game. The lobby is the station, so you can slide the pole. The game starts when the alarm goes off. Scramble to get into the truck. Fly through town, you have to actively hold on or you’ll fall off (great for cheap laughs) Then work together to save the building and people

Little peek at the King's Slam in level 2 of 86'd! Also, what a harsh first ticket to get! Check out the demo! store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... #indiegame #gamedev #godot #madeingodot #solodev #pixelart

A few little tweaks left to call this cutscene done, but happy with how it came together. Check the demo here: store.steampowered.com/app/4256320/... #godot #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

I'm berry excited to see this game coming to steam, finally! @hedgeknightgd.bsky.social has a big announcement coming today so make sure to follow them to see what it is!

Hey bsky! I just posted part 3 of my blog series on going from Game Jam to Next Fest in 3 months. hearthsidegames.itch.io/86ed/devlog/... #gamedev #indiegame #godot #indiedev

New #Sprytewood update is now on itch jil-hue.itch.io/sprytewood Check it out, if you want to test some new sharble synergies 🍃 #Indiegamedev #Demo

I yearn for the days when “vibe coding” would mean listening to your favourite music while slappin systems together in your favourite ide

Never have I ever held a Switch Pro controller or an XBox one controller, but I crave that "Steam Input Supported" tag on steam, so I went ahead and got each now. I don't know if this is normal. do any other devs just collect gamepads? #Gamedev #indiegame

Chef Sam Monella, the first character you meet in 86'd, does not wear pants. But you'd never know, since he's standing behind a table the whole time. You're welcome. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #nopants

Instead of doing actual work today, I spent time automatic said work. How long do you think until my boss comes to tell me to get back to work?

On the docket this morning, for gamepad support: - Implement input mode specific glyphs - Get it properly set up on Steamworks - Ask my friends politely to test the gamepad support with different controllers, since I've only got the one #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Fun night in the saddle navigating steam's input interface. Really happy with how it came together! I even added in some LED changes! 😀 Might add a touch of rumble tomorrow if I'm feeling spicy! #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #godot #godotengine

Last feature on my todo is game pad support. Getting it setup in #godot was ezpz, but since #steam eats the input, I’m now doing my own mapping for it. Anyone else ran into this before? #gamedev #indiegame

These baby sharks are too cute! Their names are Hunter and Goblin. Guess which is which! #kittens #cats

I keep forgetting to slap a #godot and #godotengine on there. :3

I've been having a lot of fun putting the finishing touches on 86'd to get ready for next fest. Lots and lots of playtesting to make sure I haven't broken anything! Let me know if you've played the demo yet! I'd love to hear your thoughts. :) #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #cookinggame

Kinfolk! Don’t worry, it’s still being worked on! You can check the main theme here and sauce some support Teras way.

Holy shit this art. Look at this art. I love this art. Guys look at this art. #gamedev #indiegame #art #pixelart #3dpixelart #beautiful

I’m committed to comfortably and confidently understanding the steam ecosystem by the end of the year. Mark my words, they’ll change it up in December though.

Hey friends, gamers and developers! I've been writing a little series on how my game has gone from Game Jam to Next Fest in 5 months. You can check out Part 2 here! hearthsidegames.itch.io/86ed/devlog/... #gamedev #indiegame #gamejam #patchnotes

Our first demo is out now! I'd love for you to give it a try and toss me some feedback, for better or worse, it will all help the game to get better! Thanks for your crazy support so far, bsky! #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #gamedemo

#git is great. Let’s see your terrible commit messages. #gamedev #indiedev #github

This is both the most exciting and the most stressful part of game development! Be sure to check out the 86'd demo! :) #indiegame #goblinweek #gobgame #cookingsim #cookinggame

I have a #gamedev idea. Let's start #FeedbackFriday. Every Friday, post your project, whether it's art, a game build, an asset pack, font, wip song, whatever. Then give others constructive feedback on what they've posted. Together, we can help each other get better! #art #gamedev #indiegame

I wrote a short blog post about my experience with the @indieformer.com #patchnotes game jam, and the story of how 86's went from Game Jam to Steam Demo in 5 months. Nothing ever goes to plan, but the jam in September really took a turn for us. 🔗 in🧵 #gamejam #gamedev #indiegame
