...and finally, Lady with a Dog, by Mather Brown from the year 1786, downloaded from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access library. Googly eyes attached directly to the computer monitor. Boom, done. Professional indie game development \o/

🎉 and that's a major part of the game done 🎉 I never feel like continuing work a day like that, feels anticlimactic to start the next task instantly. This makes me want to eat a pizza and resume work the day after. Bluesky, you get to decide. Should I eat pizza or continue working?

Need ideas A person must select between four "weird dog" options They are images. The images do not need to be dogs, or animals. There are no limits at all. But they're presented as "weird dogs"

Phonopolis is out NOW on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store 📣 We hope you have fun playing with the cardboard city! All links here 👇 amanita-design.net/games/phonop...

I want to tell you about the weird problems one runs into when they're me. I have a super consistent directory structure for my game, and I feel terrible if I have to break it. Problem is, I have a multi-use SFX that so happens that it needs to sit in two separate folders depending on its use.

This is the game I'm making. It's about dog Lately I've started to think of what the game has to say, and I'm starting to realize I've put more of my own philosophy and ways I view life in it than I originally thought Can't talk about it now tho (bc spoilery) but looking forward to when I can

I can not overstate how much I miss how much I miss when "not found" was a valid search result over "here are some completely unrelated nonsense"

I have a MIDI foot controller and long wanted to use it for "push to talk" in voice chat games Only, all "midi to key mapping" software I found had nonsensical UI. I figured it out tho, the answer is once again VCV Rack It takes mic audio, passes it to the software with a virtual audio device

The wait is almost over, hackers! 👾 868-BACK is releasing May 28th! Play the free demo on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3304110/...

Wrote lots of code. The stuff that can't really be tested incrementally, but one finds out whether it worked when it's all in place ...it worked! I am literally the most skilled programmer in existence (I bet soon I'll make a mistake so silly I'll think I shouldn't be allowed to have this job)

As you know, my game Rhythm Doggo is the only game that actually can transform whoever plays it into a dog, for real. I have decided to share the human to dog transformation code, so that you can transform humans into dogs too. Check out the game on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/4090240/...

Working on screen shake for an one-off scene. First set of test values just to see if the code works at all. These settings are horribly disorienting and I'm not keeping in the game. But I'm sharing them before making them good :)

🚨🚨🚨ANNOUNCEMENT!!!🚨🚨🚨 WAX HEADS IS OUT!!! Our cosy-punk, puzzle narrative record store game is finally out on PC / Switch / PS5 / Xbox This game is our love letter to music, to the way it connects us and a celebration of human made art. We hope you enjoy it ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuAm...

Today's game dev task is a fun one: make a sound being perceived as extremely loud without actually making it loud for real. Last time I did that was for Xenosphere where I needed the scare without using the beginner technique of "amplify the sound so it clips"

Cafe day, so many lovely cafes in the area If I become old and the world still exists in a form that can allow such a thing to exist, maybe I'll live in a tiny cottage and run a cafe on my own yard so small and simple I can do it on my own

Today I'd like to make a thread of how I implemented an one-off "lasers toggles on/off when you jump" challenge in Rhythm Doggo It's interesting because the implementation seems so obvious (if jump then toggle laser), yet doing it completely different was the answer.

Today I must add a gun to my game for the boss fight. It should feel strong, like the BFG9000 It's stationary mounted, shoots a moving target. But it'd look inconsistent if it rotates to aim, as no other graphics in the game has rotation, Ideas? What should its attack be? Maybe an EMP-like thing?

Working on boss music When testing different SFX for the transition between boss phases, I accidentally scrolled past the Wilhelm scream Be warned, if you don't wishlist it on Steam, I will put it in the game. store.steampowered.com/app/4090240/...

I'd like to share a utility patch I made for VCV Rack. The VCV file is in the thread. This lets you take live audio, automatically save the non-silent parts, each into a different wav file. Great when making SFX with a hardware synth, like a modular rack.

Starting a new playthrough of Pacific Drive, custom Nifflas style: Half resource cost, half time until zone collapse, double zone collapse speed, 1.5 gateway trigger radius Faster paced, less time for looting, zone collapses are terrifying. Higher risk but also higher rewards

this is a really neat game, can recommend

Random, but me teaching a 4 hour workshop at a university about VCV Rack went super well Teaching people to make patches that make sound is verified a thing I can do now. So if any other place wants me to teach, let me know for an amount (but not an unreasonable one) of moneys of course :)

I can't remember who said it, which is a shame ...but one of the best advice I've seen for creative work is to do something every (work)day. Doesn't have to be much, if things feel terrible, just do a little. But, something It's so much easier to keep the momentum going that way

So far the game I've liked the most in 2026 is Bonnie Bear Saves Frogtime It has so many frog. Also a bear in a frog costume. Those are good things to put in a game

Just re-discovered this video I recorded a week back-ish I was pointing the camera down a bit in case my dog decided to enter the frame.

Some are suggesting you deliberately write inaccurate or confusing alt text, because they say this confuses AI scrapers that are analyzing images. The purpose of alt text is to help people who cannot see the image. Deliberately misrepresenting the image is a gross misuse of alt text. Don't do it.

A nice thing about working in low resolution is how much nonsense I can get away with The game is called Rhythm Doggo, wishlist here! store.steampowered.com/app/4090240/...

Dog in park, happying in the sudden summer

Lesson learned, if season swaps from early spring to mid summer in less than 48 hours, all cafes with outdoor space contains 95% of our county's population

Me and my dog is on a train to Uppsala What will we do in Uppsala? no idea, but let's find out

Riding on a train to Umeå and catching up on Not Just Bikes videos They're really good, but I also take psychic damage from them. It's painful to know how we have all the knowledge to make all spaces better for humans - but we often just don't

Today I head to Umeå I wonder what I'll find up there

Why Was I Invited To An Island Off The Coast of Costa Rica By A Genetics Company? (With apologies to Dan Olson)

modular synth people in the know what are some modules that really takes advantage of being a physical unit, rather than a configuration of bits representing a computer program? kinda like the plasma voice, spring reverb or mechanical resonator?

This is really good!

I need to phase out DaVinci Resolve, not because I dislike the video editor itself, but because its weird project manager. What's the best video editor that, you know, works with regular files in regular folders?

I still need to do a little practice session of teaching VCV Rack, for my lecture anyone mutual or person I've interacted with before want to spend an hour today learning about modular synthesis?

In Sweden, we have the word "aprilväder" Though it simply means "April weather", it's always spoken in a tone of disappointment and means something closer to "The traitor month" Yesterday I was dressed like it's summer. Today we have this:

To any mutual/person I've interacted with a bit: I'd like to practice my VCV Rack workshop for SFX making? It's for people who have never tried modular synthesis Anyone wants to hop onto a Discord call and I can teach the basics? It'd be great since it'll give me an idea of a good pace

I'm going to hold a lecture about procedural music and also modular synthesis in Umeå VCV Rack is very nifty and I'm using it to solve all my audio utility needs. Like this patch for example. It takes an input signal, and segments it and writes the segments into multiple wav files based on volume

‪This is the game by the way I'm making. It's about my dog, Hotdog (very good dog) If you play the game, you also become a dog, and need to play it with your paws. You'll be dog form until you beat the game (still working on the reverse dog transformation code, will probs have it done by release)

Also, Öoo was as good as everybody have been saying it is which is really, really good

I used the wrong variable in my debug zoom code, and ended up with this terrifying wobbliness It was an easy fix but wow, that shake is unnerving

New Dedeco mix dropped These mixes are always really good

My brain for the last week: Rik Spek, look at my six-pack Rik Spek, ooo look at my six-pack Rik Spek, look at my six-pack Rik Spek, ooo look at my six-pack If you can live with an earworm getting stuck, this is a really good game

Since I added a particular quest to my game, I've by reflex started referencing 13375⁋34|< about 25 years after the fact and I don't know how to stop

I have learned how to run my own DSP programs on one of my hardware synth modules Now I just have to tell myself not to get too sidetracked, I must also actually make a game
