🍎 SLAMY is finally available on macOS too! Plus, a couple of QoL fixes based on early feedback <3 yurisizov.itch.io/slamy #foss #audio #gamedev

Useful: My game now shows miniature icons of the selected upgrade cards in the HUD. Not useful, but fun to look at: the new level indicator starts fluttering when you go fast on your hobby horse. #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #godotengine #indiegames #godot #indiedev #devlog

Hooray, my game now has a working stamina bar and tiny - almost invisible - numbers that show bonus and penalty points! Better not ask how long it took … #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #godot #solodev #pixelart #gaming #godotengine

This. But also, remember that passion alone doesn't pay the bills. Most indies underprice their games, are ignored by algorithms, undersold, some even unfairly blocked from selling... So check that your money actually moves in the direction you want people surviving and making things.

What a lovely idea for the first PICO-8 Advent Calendar game “Cat-astrophe”! <3 #pico8 #lexaloffle #miyoo #gaming #advent

Wrapped up the upgrade backend today. The first working upgrade is the “Hurdle Knocker” - you can smash through one hurdle without getting disqualified. Now on to a couple dozen more upgrades … #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #godot #solodev #pixelart #gaming

I’m currently reworking some of my older pixel art animations and adapting them to the 9:16 format. With the T-Rex animation from 2015, I just couldn’t resist adding sound effects. You know … immersion and all that. #pixelart #dinosaurs #jurassic #gameart #animation #prehistoric

I don't like games that never end – so my endless runner actually has an ending. #gamedev #gaming #pixelart #indiegames

GameTank: a true 8-bit homebrew console shaped like a bright blue tank – and without HDMI. That’s pure punk! The developer’s promo video is absolutely worth watching and genuinely entertaining. Made me laugh!

A bit off-topic, but I only recently stumbled across the syfy TV series “Dark Matter” (2015–2017). It completely flew under my radar. Great story, gritty vibe, shady characters - love it! m.imdb.com/de/title/tt4... #syfy #scifi #sciencefiction #tvseries

Finally tackled the upgrade system this weekend! Once you’ve collected enough coins, an overlay pops up with three random upgrades to choose from. The gameplay loop is pretty much done now! :) #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #indiegames #godot #indiedev #devlog

After 10+ years, I finally updated my Itch.io page with my first (and only) game from 2014. If you’re into old-school platformers - and don’t mind 4:3 and a Flash Projector - you can now download Baby Mummy’s Curse for PC. It’s free! mazeon.itch.io/baby-mummys-... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Cleared Hot just launched in Early Access on Steam! If you loved games like „Desert Strike“ back in the day, you should definitely check this one out. The demo left a fantastic impression. store.steampowered.com/app/1710820/... #retrogaming #indiegames #steam #shmup #gaming

Sawblades are always a good idea! Just lying in the middle of the path, moving back and forth like it’s the most natural thing in the world. Maybe I’ll add one more obstacle, but I think I’m ready to start working on perks and upgrades. #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #indiegames #godot #indiedev

Project Landsword by Mezzanine Software Instantly fell in love with the art direction of this mecha game! Wishlisted. Can’t wait for the full release! Demo available on itch.io store.steampowered.com/app/3695630/... #pixelart #mechwarrior #mecha #maschinenkrieger #indiegames #gaming

Completely revamped the title font today. Went for something blockier and more readable - the old ornate version looked nice but had an awkward word layout. To be honest, the ridiculously long game title is to blame! #typography #pixelart #gameart #gothic #ドット絵

Can You Guess Which Game is a Success? Interesting watch: youtu.be/Tu2cCEMwvHI?...

Indie Retro News: Sherwood (C64 Collector’s Edition) – Another fantastic C64 game is coming from MUSKETEER creators 'Griffonsoft' www.indieretronews.com/2025/11/sher... #retrogaming #gaming #c64 #gamersunite

Worked on the title screen typography today. Pretty happy with the gothic base type - still not sure about the colors and the small text though. #typography #pixelart #gameart #gothic #ドット絵

Stepping into new scenes…one color at a time. It’s scary, but it’s how we grow. 🎨🌤️ #pixelart #ドット絵 #scenery #digitalart #BitWoof

New enemy type! I actually wanted to make a simple up-and-down moving sawblade, but what came out instead is a bunny with supernatural jump power. It’s got sharp teeth, too - two of them. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiegame #gaming #godot #solodev

Been tinkering with a prototype for a quick little Playdate game. Zap the balls to fill the three batteries to a certain level (not shown), but don't over charge. See how many level you can do in 99 seconds. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #playdate www.bitglint.co.uk

Spikes. Dangerous! Wrong shoes = instant death! Next step: figure out a reliable way to coordinate all the obstacles … #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart #indiegames

My game has snails now. What you do with them is entirely up to you. I also upgraded the HUD - speed is now shown in horsepower (hp). The knight got a bit sportier … he can duck now, too. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiegame #gaming #godot

Pipsqueak! A tiny mouse wakes up in a strange and hostile world #pitchyagame

My game’s got gnomes now - the nasty kind. The ones that hover around and shoot at you for no reason … with giant Q-tips. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Mountains. Silence. And a ship out of place #pixelart

Love that bird animation! #pixelart #animation www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/s...

Making good progress! Added the first HUD elements and two new enemy types: an arrow (still missing its archer) and one (way too) fat budgie. The place’s starting to feel alive! #gamedev #indiegames #gaming #pixelart #gaming #godot #screenshotsaturday #devlog

I’m working on new enemies for my minigame. Here’s the flight animation of a falcon - or maybe a brown budgie? At a certain resolution, it’s hard to tell. #pixelart #gamedev #gameart #animation #aseprite

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Made this back in 2016. 🕸️ Gave it a tiny touch-up. #pixelart #halloween #witchcraft #hauntedhouse #fullmoon #spooky #gameart #8bit

My minigame now has classic coins! You’ll be able to trade them for upgrades later on - more stamina, extra power, a shield … you name it. Next up: HUD elements and enemies. #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart #gaming #godot

Here was some earlier shots. Starting as a 8 hour sketch, but going through iteration based on feedback. I kind of miss the flies! But they seemed too distracting and oddly large.

My game in 20 seconds

Switching from #Construct3 to #Godot was totally worth it. Rebuilt everything in just 4 days. Godot feels super solid on the Silicon Mac and is way less complicated than I expected. I think I’ll stick with it! Turns out the ZIP file from #ChatGPT just caused a crash - so, no Skynet (yet). #gamedev

Me - a total non-programmer - asked #ChatGPT to convert my current #Construct3 project into a #Godot project. One I could just open in Godot and hit play. Now I’m staring at the screen, with a finished ZIP file in front of me. Let’s hope Skynet wasn’t involved … #gamedev #coding #gdscript #ai

The end is near! Only one event left. Should I stick with Construct 3 and move to the paid version? I do like Construct 3, but the event system feels a bit clunky at times. Plus, the scrolling in my game was pretty choppy. Maybe I should give Godot a try before I decide …

To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the SEGA Mark III console in Japan, Astro Climber is now available for free on Itch ⬇️ #homebrew #mastersystem

Simple 3x5 pixelfont for HUD and other ingame stuff. Tried making pixel fonts on the iPad with Pixquare - worked perfectly! Sure, these fonts exist online already, but sometimes it’s just fun to make them yourself. @pixquare-app.bsky.social #pixelart #typography #gameart #8bit #1bit

Rhizomatic compound, the first Decadence video game is now live on steam to wishlist! We are excited to share with you this unique interactive comics experience. WISHLIST ON STEAM NOW!!

Bit by bit, my hobby horse mini-game’s coming together. Tweaked jump mechanics, polished parallax graphics, added collision checks and distance counter. Next up: knight-eating dragons! #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev #indiegames #construct3 #gaming #knightgames

Just got a Miyoo Mini Plus for PICO-8 & Splore. Took a bit to set up, but now I’m ready. Crazy how many carts already exist. There’s even a Berzerk! Bring on winter … #pico8 #miyoo #retrogaming #indiegames #splore #8bit
