Gonna wait to show it (cause they're appearing in my first play test next week!) but I have new visual card designs and they're awesome

Footstep sounds working as intended 👍 (caution, this may be loud)

I was tinkering with enemy speeds today and I think this might be slightly too terrifying

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Working on customizable icons for players to use during duels and I've got this guy as an option. I look for old images that have a whimsical element and I tend to find lots of good stuff

Added a nice little card flip effect whenever you draw cards! This is in 2D so it's actually a "fake" card flip, but it looks real and will even more so when you consider lighting + shaders. Entirely done in code through Godot's Tweens, which makes every part of the animation customizable

This moon pissed

Sneak peak of a CPU Personality in MANCY. Every enemy type has their own personality that determines their style when dueling and, for some of them, when building their own decks. They have favorite cards, traits, most hated cards, and many other surprises in store

Placeholder art working as a source of inspiration on this one 😂

One of my more out there designs for a card element, but I'm very fond of it. I do a lot of mixing real world textures with digital elements, so I'm often on the lookout for interesting looks like this. This texture is from a series of 19th century French wallpapers that I found beautiful

Brain is feeling fried but progress on MANCY continues at high speeds! I'm on track for the first play test before the end of this year AND that play test is featuring more content than I originally planned 😁

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

Created an email waitlist for my game, MANCY. Sign up here to be notified once the Steam page is live, so you can wishlist and support me 😊

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

Got to attend @oakcityindie.bsky.social yesterday and it was wonderful! It was my first time being at a game con of any sort, and it was a joy to meet so many passionate and talented people working in the same medium as me. I can't wait to join in with a booth of my own next year!

@scryfall.com Hey Scryfall quick question! I heard on the TapTapConcede recently that all the cards before a certain date are high res scans. I noticed you don't have a French scan of Tooth & Nail, how can I scan it to submit to the site?

Things that cost nothing - but is a HUGE help for any and all indie devs: Wishlisting - it gives games data to show publishers there is interest. Leave a Review - ESPECIALLY if you liked the game. Reviews on steam lead to the algo serving you up to others. Reposting - it's an attention economy.

Working on expanding the complexity of opponent's behavior in my game, Mancy, today and it's somewhat difficult but rewarding! In some ways it's easier than creating player options (because it's more predictable) but in other ways much harder because I'm trying to replicate a player's decisions

@blueoceangames.bsky.social If you haven't already, check out my extended reveal trailer for Mancy, which is currently competing against 400 (!!) other trailers in #RisingTide2. Only the top 100 make it to public voting, so go make an account blueoceangames.com?ref=xof0kuxv to support Mancy!

I put together an early trailer for Blue Ocean Game's Rising Tide 2 contest! If you want to vote for me and other indie dev's, you can sign up with my referral code blueoceangames.com?ref=xof0kuxv or by going straight to their website I'm having a blast making Mancy, and I can't wait to share more

Just hearing about this...and I'm going to be putting together an early trailer of my currently unannounced card game to submit!

Been thinking a lot about packs for my upcoming card game and there's so many cool ways to do them! They're becoming a bigger part of the concept than I originally envisioned and I think the game will be stronger for it 😁

without critique, magic is explicitly entrenching itself as a collectible over anything else. commander is collectible: the card game. UB is a collectible with bonus rules text (see: pokémon). sales prices reflect goals (see: pokémon). understand the game's future and decide what you want from it.

Hi Bluesky!🎨🐒 We're Daydream Gallery, a 3-person Indie Game Studio creating "Extremely Cool & Unique Experiences™️". We're currently hard at work on Trading Card Inspector! tinyurl.com/habubis 🕵️🃏 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #1bit #habubis #TradingCardInspector #Steam

Did you know I made a pack of 175 pixel fonts that can be used for commercial/free games, websites, videos, stream overlays, and more? You can buy the entire pack or buy the font families individually! I also made a trailer for it: youtu.be/45Ylt2FLJxI?... All available on itch: chevyray.itch.io

also I met someone who showed me their altered anti-capitalist theme deck helmed by this Grist and I was in love 😍

If anyone saw my question yesterday and was also curious to know the answer, I ended up asking on /r/Godot and getting some excellent answers!

A question for other Godot devs. How do you handle signals that skip the inheritance hierarchy? I have a scene that handles player data, including HP and MP which have their own Nodes in that scene. Those two also show up on the UI, so I have the UI connected to signals emitted by the HP and MP....

Play the demo now on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3662100/... #gamedev #gaming #3dplatformer #platformer #indiegame #madewithunity

After about two months away from it I've been working in Godot again and I've improved a lot! I'm developing better habits in code architecture and I have a much easier time knowing how things should be setup 😁 still planning to announce my first full release this year!

The itch.io page is now live!!✨ After working on this game for almost 2 years, I'm super excited to finally release a playable version! 😄 🔁 Repost to spread the word! 🎮 Play here for FREE: pixcl-studio.itch.io/sparks-adven... #indiegames | #indiedev | #psx | #retrogame

Working on a MtG podcast and potentially some videos too 😊 I'm thinking of reviewing some cubes I've built and going over things I've learned for new cube builders

After 14 months of development, I am proud to share with you that my game is finally released on Steam! Go solve puzzles, have headache and enjoy the final product! I do not ask often, but please share this! store.steampowered.com/app/2731590/... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #puzzle

hey. a very unfortunate and upsetting thing happened to me this week, and talking about it publicly comes at a great personal cost so if you could take the time to read it, it would mean a lot tldr: wotc pulled the ad i made on all platforms due to the comments said ad received

Since learning about the concept of "Bar Cubes"—cubes that don't require dice, tokens, or counters—I've been thinking about building Bar Commander decks for conventions and travel. It's a heavy deckbuilding restriction, but a very cool challenge.

Still working with card design bases. I'm playing with the colors, border, and outlines, but I'd love some feedback/advice on any element of the card

Apparently there is an unlicensed Keep Driving clone on the @playstation.com network that Sony failed to prevent. #gamedevs Josef & Christopher worked their asses off for over half a decade to create their #indiegame (not yet on PSN). Support @ycjygames.bsky.social and report this shit on PSN.

Those of you who have pictures of yourselves on this website. Have you had anything weird happen as a result? Sometimes I want to post pictures or stuff from my day to day life but an anxious part of my brain says something terrible will happen 🙃

Here's what gives me hope... in case you've been looking for some recently. I truly and genuinely believe the majority of people are good. Or, at the very least, not ACTIVELY shitty. Many of them need a little guidance, sure. That just means we to need to show the fuck up, and provide that to them.

I'm going to start teaching a class at my gym soon and the most intimidating part is putting together a playlist 😭 it can't have anything explicit. So far I've pulled some songs from the Spiderverse soundtracks and fight night champion. Looking for good rhythm, any recommendations?

In an effort to help #Godot devs make their games more accessible, I've created a tutorial on how to add screenreader support to your game using an (optional) NVDA extension: youtu.be/gqjWn0pGlwI?... 🔁 Sharing appreciated! 🔁 #GodotTips #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility #tutorial

Despite the huge problems, I've been having a fun time with The Bazaar since it released F2P. I've been watching Northernlion play it for like 3 months now, and actually it's more fun to play than watch 😅 prepare yourself for a torrent of screenshots First 10 win against people, Race Carl is good!
