Past few weeks I've began actively trying to combat slop social media feeds. I've noticed: -Following tab is way more peaceful than For You -Instagram is purely Ads these days -Youtube algo is screwed -Most news is news not worth knowing -Anger is the driving force of engagement

Had a Fire Emblem itch so attempted Awakening on lunatic and I couldn't even get passed Chapter 1. 😭 Wdym the "ruffians" have two mages with Elwind and Elthunder and every axe fella two shots Chrom.

#ForTheLoveOfHorror was very fun 🎃👻

For the rest of my #gamedev endeavors i'm gonna need Blender to never make me Weight Paint ever again.

A few horror/spooky movie recommendations for ol' spooky month. 🫡👻

Would like to go on record and confess I have spent my entire Saturday playing CloverPit and watching NorthernLion play CloverPit. 🎰👹

Made some fried chicken 🍗

Good game design is being able to beat a game you can't read. ☝️

I really cannot stress how much harder it is to make a dirty environment than a clean environment in game development... 💀#gamedev #aseprite

It's been roughly 1 year since I started my new gym routine + diet change. Still a way to go but nice to see some physical change. 🏋️ #gymprogress

Managed to beat every Necrodancer base song on Hard. 🫡 (just ignore the grades... 🫣)

Hit a big milestone today. Finishing not one but TWO major gameplay mechanics. I would love to show them off but that would be spoilers for the trailer of course. 🤫 #gamedev #monogame

Haven't updated in a while. Currently very busy working hard on the trailer / demo. (and dealing with my full time job.) In the mean time here's some cars I drew. 🚗🚗 #indiegames #solodev #gamedev #monogame #rpgmaker #horror #aseprite #screenshotsaturday

One thing I wish Mario Kart would do is what Crash Nitro Fueled did in regards to stats. Make the character + kart purely cosmetic, then the player picks whatever optimal "engine". Every race being filled with 20 baby bloopers is dull.

The ingredients for a barrel fire. (sprites below) ⛺️🔥 #indiegames #solodev #gamedev #monogame #rpgmaker #horror #aseprite #screenshotsaturday

Finished making most of the Steam assets today. Why are they all such odd specific resolutions. 😭 #gamedev

Drawing hands in pixel art...

Started tinkering with a few synths to make menu SFX and I'm convinced Sound people are wizards. "Yeah just set the wibbly wobbly line and turn up the skidoodle modulator with a dash of reverb and boom its the cancel sound from Silent Hill 2"

Forget /r/gamedev by controversial and /r/AmITheAsshole. Let me introduce you to: /r/DIY by controversial. #DIY

I'm heading to Japan today for a few weeks. 🇯🇵✈️ Won't be any #gamedev updates for a bit. In the meantime time here is a snippet of my game's first dungeon. #pixelart #aseprite #monogame

First draft of my game's menu. Includes current equipment, player hints, time slot, weather and "health" status! #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #solodev #gamedev #monogame #rpgmaker #aseprite

30 years ago today (in Japan), Chrono Trigger released on the Super Nintendo. #retro #art #gaming #ChronoTrigger

What are the best and worst games for pause menu design? 🤔 (personas cheating!) #gamedev

Areas such as City 17, Ravenholm and Highway 17 are shining examples of "show don't tell". His work was excellent. Very sad news. bsky.app/profile/lamb...

From Blender -> to pixel art -> to in-game rendering. Making quick idle animations for 8 directions. #screenshotsaturday #blender #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Finished the Phoenix Wright trilogy. New character obsession unlocked.

Big shout-out to TikTok btw. Got a decent amount of views and messages from my content there. 👍

Closed night clubs and 3am chicken. 🇬🇧👻🍗 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #monogame #rpgmaker #indiehorror #horror #aseprite

One thing about living in the city is that I yearn for a rural walk/cycle like back home. #countryside #walks

Nursing a hangover and did some 25s 💯 #music #games

Still crazy to me how much of a nose dive mainstream 2000s bands such as Gorillaz and Muse have had in recent decades. While they're recent stuff absolutely sucks it's also a generational gap too imo. Lots of people throw Arctic Monkeys in there to but I think thats exaggerated.

Added save points to my game. In British games, the save points are kettles. (Sound on!) ☕🫖 #indiegames #solodev #gamedev #monogame #rpgmaker #aseprite #screenshotsaturday

My favourite things about the Witcher Woman discourse: 1. She looks fine idk 2. The insinuation that women aren't allowed to be ugly (she isn't) in video games 3. The dudes micro analysing her facial features being ugly as fuck irl

More or less completed my RPGMaker Horror and Survival Horror game (bar resident evil) binge recently. Survival H the trifecta of flow/puzzles/story is super important. If one or two of them lacks it can get real tedious as I found with Dino Crisis. RPGmaker seems to rely more on tone and vibes.

Meme in 2000s: "Sleepy Duck" is a meme, joke is done to death and dies in 3-6 months. Meme in 2020s: "Sleepy Duck" is a meme, it's monetised, it's a corporate joke, it's a movement, it's a podcast, creator of Sleepy Duck is a bigot/nonce, it's crypto that loses all your money.

Screw astrology what are your MySims interests. 🤖🍗🚫🐻

Testing out my new particle system with leaves/litter. Also grateful my pixel art flag turned out ok. 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame #rpgmaker #gaming #screenshotsaturday

#gamedev question, what's the easiest way for one-man dev teams to find collaborators to help with things like music and sound?

My game utilises a Calendar / Day Night system, where you'll can pick and choose which times you want to head out or do something. You can also fast forward to get through the time slots quicker! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #monogame #rpgmaker #indiehorror #horror

Of course any UK themed horror game requires plenty of pubs! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #monogame #rpgmaker #indiehorror #horror

I'm making a Silent Hill inspired horror game set in the UK. 💂‍♂️ Where else would you go to replenish health at lunch time? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #monogame #rpgmaker #indiehorror #horror

Showcase of my Sprite Clothing System -Exported from Blender -Supports 8 directions -Mix and match, head, body, legs, held item and bag parts -Spritesheets 10-30 kb each Makes generating different NPCs much easier. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #monogame #rpgmaker #aseprite

Will be interesting to see if Bluesky actually pops off or not but otherwise i'm about 🫡

Hello I have called dibs on this bluesky account, for those that don't make me I'm a software engineer who makes games in his spare time. Gonna figure out how to structure this properly but here is some of my stuff from Twitter: x.com/Aldonn_/stat...
