Hello humans! I’ve been quietly building a weird little incremental space mining game called Orebital Dynamics. Tomorrow I’m launching the Steam page and a playable alpha on itch so you can actually try it. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #incremental #idle #clicker #puzzle #space #mining

Audio really does make things better🔊 #portraitpaintergame #indiedev

I haven't been posting much because most of the things I'm working on are in the territory of "haha this is a system that I will maybe-probably throw out the moment it comes into contact with feedback". Which is probably a sign that I should be seeking out feedback soon. 🙃

Half of what's been hard with this refactor is just making sense of what the data structures and re-organization of everything should even look like. Been a lot of staring at code thinking which feels unproductive but probably is.. zzzz

Some #GameDev refinement. New #pixelart chain attached to the Censer for better visual appeal when it gets upgraded. Also two new upgrades to the #IndieGame slide ability. #1 it can now be upgraded to be done in the air! #2 it can be FURTHER upgraded to pass through hazards! #screenshotSaturday

Need to reach me? Here's my card:

I am currently about to go on a scope creep adventure. Wish me luck.

Tim Swindle cryarsing about AI disclosure being a scarlet letter lets slip something significant here, because if AI was all that slop jockeys claim it was, then surely such a disclosure would be a mark of pride, even a selling point! Surely people would be clamouring for AI games. But they're not.

I no more try sell game this month june now for make game not bug

"no worries" *is actually all worries* get the sticker here: mcapriglione.art

OKAY YALL HERE IT IS: Next Fest & Chill '26: Summer Edition MEGA THREAD! 🧵 Check below for blurbs about the demos I dug and links to the games!!! (Repost to share lots of cool indie games 😎) ⬇️⬇️⬇️

current players number for demo on Steamworks got me like ‼️😵‍💫😵‍💫🫠🫠😱😭😱🙃🙃‼️

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

man, I'm really coming to terms with just how much more seriously I'm going to have to take gamedev as a process as I lead up to releasing this game. I can't just "lol oops" an update that breaks stuff when it's not just me and my friends playing the demo anymore q_q

Jumped into three streams today who played Chicken Scratch and all three of them were a blast. Had so much fun. (:

was really hoping to be able to do promo for all of NextFest but I don't know if I have it in me lol. It's exhausting doing promo reachout stuff. q_q

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.

@crystaldreams.bsky.social tried out Chicken Scratch and made a playthrough video of it! Some really fun drawings. This one of a sad pineapple while the screen is spinning was my favourite. Definitely worth checking out (: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwdX...

You've heard of nine doors, nine persons, nine hours now how about

RED ALERT GREEN ALERT BLUE ALERT: #steamnextfest has begun, which means its high time you PLAY MY SHAPES, BOY store.steampowered.com/app/3236560/...

Just wanted to share some Rogue Blight stats before #SteamNextFest, will also share them after next fest is over! Hope its usefull! Thank you so much for wishlisting and all of the support <3 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

THE NEXTFEST HUSTLE BEGINS MAXIMAL SHILLING I HAVE NO SHAME SORRY NOT SORRY (haha jking I do feel kind of sorry about it)

It does kind of feel like I may be on the precipice of this game potentially rounding a corner and becoming *known* by people which is kind of surreal.

Steamworks? Well I certainly hope it does. (sorry, I've had this kicking around in my brain for ages)

Please Use AI

Steam Next Fest is upon us and I am once again asking for your indie game demos! Shoot your links below so I can stream them to a bunch of queer nerds with excruciatingly large wishlists—they want what you got let's do this 🤘🏼 #indiegames #steamnextfest #indiedev

Today's episode of drawing birds instead of developing game: www.youtube.com/shorts/amIdQ...

Here's a video of a spinning duck.

I forgot the GRID was tomorrow. I am a fully put together adult human being. :V

*sending emails about the game* *sends wrong channel name to wrong email* Yeah. I'm an adult I can handle making a mistake like this. .. .. haha jking SHoot me into the SUN!N!!NNN!!!!!!

Another cursed animatic from playtesting footage. I don't know if it's wise to keep doing these, but was still kind of fun. :V #indiegames #gamedev

I've been saying I'd do it for years, but finally,

Gamedevs of bluesky I am activating the UX signal. I'm looking for some help with a pair of problems that I'm struggling with. The first is the WHEEL ARRIVAL - footage shown below. The players start the clip watching a guess play out then all of a sudden WHEEL. It feels a bit abrupt. #gamedev

My video game has no publisher, no funding and was/is not featured in any 'huge major cool' video game events! But it's still a very fun and cozy video game with lots of hard work put in, and it would mean a lot if you wishlisted it and shared it with anyone and everyone who would care to listen!!

haha Cool some promo stuff I did got some traction online Surely that translates into some wishlists for the game right? haha, right? 🥲

Instead of making my game I'm just drawing the birds making cursed faces. 😵‍💫

#PitchYaGame Bird employees, assemble. 🦆🐦🦚🦉🦜🐦‍⬛🦩🐓 You have but one job: Draw well with unreasonable time constraints. Some of you may get fired, but that is a risk that I am willing to take.

Working on this silly thing for when you lose the game. #gamedev #indiegames

Officially venturing into the world of scuffed animatics.

This month I added challenges to the game which are big mundane objects that add some kind of difficulty that significantly affects things for players. Most dramatic of which is the red light green light challenge. #gamedev #indiegames

Help a struggling art museum by painting beautiful paintings in my game Portrait Painter Demo out now on Steam!🎨🖌️ store.steampowered.com/app/4641510/... #portraitpaintergame #godot #art

Dang man it's tough spending time on marketing stuff when it might just completely flop and be a waste of time lol.

hey YOU. YES YOU. 🫵 DO YOU LIKE DRAWING? DO YOU HAVE FRIEND? watch this video about a drawing game I'm working on that you should check out and wishlist and eventually play and thank you. #gamedev #indiegames

I am not very good at peopling sometimes lol

gamedev bluesky I need assistance! I have this little transition scene that I have happen going into each round. I have three variants of how it could work, looking for some input into which of these feels on the right track (or if there are alternatives I could consider). #gamedev

I'm looking for Beta testers to play and give feedback on SKRUB Squad, my upcoming chill cleaning game!! If this sounds like your jam please check out the link below for more details and sign up if you're interested! Shares are super appreciated as well! 😀🙏 #SKRUBSquad forms.gle/iGbLdumzqb45...

getting absolutely bodied by networking coding this morning. pray for me. 🙏😩

I think this refactor may have broken something..

Hang on a sec I'm trying something here. #gamedev #indiegames
