😈 CURSED! 😈 Teaching myself vertex shaders with some random displacement. This is still playable right? I manage to crash the Clomper in this clip but it's difficult to tell! #gamedev #indiegame #steam

Freya posts another hypnotic gif. That's 3 hours lost. 🤩

It's not procrastination to make your tools look beautiful is it? 🤔 ⌨️ Windows Terminal 🎨 Dimidium 🔤 Cascadia Code Nerd Font Semi-Light 13pt www.nerdfonts.com ⚡ Powerline github.com/powerline/po... Posting on bsky about it definitely is. 😉

When you realise you're more Alfred than Batman.

🎥 Play test videos are powerful! Climbing pipes was a feature on the "nice to have" list... but players found making high pipes was difficult. 😢 So I fixed it! And it is good fun parkouring around inside the Clomper. Especially as a pipe gushing steam will push you! 💨 #indiegame #steampunk #pipes

It's delightful to see YouTube commenters go wild on a friend's video because Dani pops by! Also cool video about proc gen by Tantan youtu.be/oztbyI-1NII?...

Getting 5 hours to game dev in one go happens about once every 3 months (family, job, etc) and how did I spend it? Failing to make first person character control work. Inbuilt @unity.com charactercontroler feels terrible and kinematic based assets don't work.

Every time someone shares Freya's lovely animation, I'm entranced for 5 minutes. Reposting this awesome in hope to break the spell!

Friendly tip for folks. My discord got hacked yesterday and my computer was acting funky ever since. Turns out it was malware installed through a blender file I bought as part of an asset pack on CG Trader. I didn’t know blender files were being used this way, but I figured I’d spread the word.

I don't understand #YouTube at all! I've been making videos semi-regularly for 6 years and it never ceases to surprise me. Look at the wonky graph of my latest dev log! It's bananas! 🍌🍌🍌 Lots of people clearly want to know how to get the most from their play testing. 😊

After 6 years of alpha testing, I finally let actual humans in. Turns out… they had opinions. 😲 New devlog #76: running a Closed Beta for the Clomper! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYYj...

🐞 Cute screenshot. Might delete later*. This is a beast of a pipe network. It'll go past 12 and did the Kessel run in something something etc. * I won't. #screenshotsaturday

🥳 Clomper dev log SEVENTY SIX edit complete! ➡️ How to run a closed Beta. 🐞 How did Clomper's go? 🐛 Were there any bugs? 🧠 Did I learn anything? Weaving around family commitments this weekend, hopefully going live tonight or tomorrow! #gamedev #steampunk

✏️ Doodling with my daughter and came up with this cute Clomper design. Who doesn't love a clompy heavy metal ladybird? 🤘🐞 And yes, get the game out before making merch! 😂👕 #gamedev #ladybird #drawing #art #doodle

Other people's pipe networks always look horrific but I'm really proud of this one. It's made good use of the limited pipes I have so far and you can go at top speed without much fiddling about. #steampunk #gamedev #pipes

🥳 I've just had a lovely evening playing my own game. 📽️ Started recording some B-Roll and decided to build a special pipe network drive with. Then just had a nice play! 🐞 It's doesn't look like much but it'll do the point 2 past 12 and you can run the boilers hot all day without a bang.

If Clomper had a highly professional sister...

The last Ladybug? I think not! 😜 Yes, I'm sharing it because of the name. Go check it out, giving me pushing 10p into a cabinet vibes. 🥰

⚠️ BLOOPER ALERT! ⚠️ 🐞 In the middle of editing Clomper devlog #76, which is all about closed beta testing - how I do it, what they found. (Not taking more sign ups until I've improved some stuff)

TLS certificate authorities compromised. Pretty much a horror story for the whole planet.

Oh my! Look at the gauges! 😍😍😍😍

Writing a tutorial video script for the playtest and I'm building HORRIBLE pipe networks. Partly to demonstrate game features and partly to low-key outrage people who can see a better way. I'm sure _you_ can build cleaner ones than this! #gamedev #indiegames

I've been working on Clomper for 6 years 👴🏻 It's not finished - BUT! - there's enough there for people to enjoy. Waiting for Steam to switch on the Playtest build! 😬 I'm a touch nervous. It'll be fine.

Behemoth is the new free Expansion for #Bulwark is releasing on Steam this Wednesday. This is the big free expansion for the year and is another leap forward for the game. Share and support my dedicated way of evolving my games post-launch. No EA, No 1.0 just passion. #indiegame #solodev #indiedev

How do you get #motivated again after taking a break? A break was forced on me by #migraines, this is how I got back into making my game Clomper. www.tiktok.com/@theclomper/...

Had a blast playing Low-Fi FPS X-Mode by @xzippyzachx.bsky.social. Lots of variety, change of pace and the bots are hilarious. Here's me being killed by myself as a bot. Play for FREE here: store.steampowered.com/app/2265640/...

I take a dim view of games that are designed to reward bullying. Bad if aimed at adults but toxic when aimed at children.

My son: Scale on speed dial of 3,6,9 and 12 is [rudeness and not complementary]. Me: Fixed it for you... #gamedev #humour #steam

Alpha game testing with nerds be like: #gamedev #xkcd #sqlinjection

Top Unity Tip: If you're using Steamworks.NET and the steam transport, the transport doesn't invoke any of the NetworkTransport events. Causing some completely wacky bugs!

I'm too much of a coward to enjoy horror games. That spine tingling you get isn't comfortable and they leave an impression on me. Ten Bells is an anomaly horror game and it's really really good. store.steampowered.com/app/3044030/...
