This is a lovely color tool: colorpalette.pro …and also a reminder of the era—not that long ago!—when most software looked something like this. It was beautiful to behold and lovely to use. This was taken from us for entirely dubious reasons, but driven people like Ryan can still do it.

My #Zettelkasten is coming along. I have 12 permanent notes! The right side is the main section of permanent notes ✏️, media notes 👁️, books/articles 📕. The left side are fleeting notes ✈️ that will be deleted, and projects/project notes 🔧 that are more mutable. #GameDev #ProcGen #Steam topics mostly

We've finally released prism 1.0, a traditional roguelike engine! Featuring games by @nuzcraft.bsky.social and @drewwww.bsky.social!

I'm such a big Prism fan. All the fundamentals for a roguelike or other turn-based, grid-based game just WORK -- tiles, rendering, animation, LOS, inventory, scheduling, world generation. Even if you haven't used Lua before, I highly recommend it! github.com/PrismRL/prism

Having a lot of fun messing around with mrmo crt again... Haven't really done this since Flipside, and it feels like it really fits the vibes for Mym's Sword! I wanna see the other dungeons next... Kinda wish this was an actual shader I could implement

starting to muck about w/ UI for shop screen. I think a UI overhaul is in the future so not gonna sweat it. Bigger icons + buttons will happen to get the resolution more closely aligned with the zoom in of the game #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

information: Enjoyed this talk by @adamatomic.bsky.social about: going with the grain, ideas vs formulas, noticing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGsl...

This effect will finally be added to the next update of the Godot Shaders Bible 🙂 The price will go up eventually, so if you are interested, this is the moment to get the book ✨ jettelly.com/store/the-go... #godot #godotengine #3DCG #indiedev #gamedev

Inspired by some great discussion on Q-UP from @austinwalker.bsky.social, @notquitereal.bsky.social, @sylvibullet.bsky.social, @molleindustria.org and other folks, I wrote a short piece on the design inspiration for Q-UP and what developing the game meant to me stiknork.substack.com/p/qing-up-in...

a mere splash of simplex noise and the decoration placement looks SO MUCH BETTER than the 35% random scattering from before and I haven't even layered in using noise to clump similar decos (I WANT A PATCH OF MUSHROOMS) #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine #Fliplike

*ANNOUNCEMENT* Unfair Dungeon is on #Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/... Wishlists appreciated ❤️ Dungeoneering #Fliplike coming 2026 #GameDev #IndieDev #Godot #GodotEngine

actually, what might be the best thing about gdunit is that I can easily just test a function pre-asserts. I'm writing a bunch of proc gen helper functions and it's making it really easy to generate print statements and whatnot to help with development - better than calling it from _ready in main

hitting 6 here is fucking bonkers. normally I have to keep resetting bc I hit tails which ends the game lol

the prestige mechanic is complete sans juice. if you can hit the 50% flip, you can get coins for the prestige shop I'm implementing next. It's like a mini unfair flips just to keep playing knock-off unfair flips #GameDev #IndieDev #Fliplike #GodotEngine store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

Unfair Flips is now just 29 reviews away from hitting the 1000 mark!!

Finally ready to show my game that uses @mrmotarius.bsky.social MiniAdventures tileset His pixel art instantly clicked with me. The moment I saw it I knew I had to make a game with this tileset. Wishlist on Steam: s.team/a/3972320 #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #madewithunreal

Yessssss

woof. added gdunit and some initial unit tests for the hero. Having the test suites helped me figure out what logic should live in the hero and not in the main scene. De-spaghettifying the jam code :D #GameDev #IndieDev #GodotEngine

😩 I want to watch and take notes on roguelikes celebration and godotcon talks but I have a stupid job

lul tanked my q rating in q-up with a bad build just so I could 400x on a 3-0 win and blast past diamond

I've always wanted a program that could do principled pixel art from reference images, rather than blocky filters. Well, I went and created one! I hope it's useful for the community and I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart timothyjgraham.itch.io/pixel-art-st...

Finished Tunic 🦊 yesterday 😁, I had put it down for several weeks and was very happy to see the conclusion to that story. Such a good game.

FLIP YA COINS. Yes I played Q-Up today. Yes I animated a coin flip. Yes I re-recorded this short clip 8 times because ANGUISH #GameDev #IndieDev #Fliplike #GodotEngine store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

Almost done with the Player's moveset during FIELD MODE. There are parts in which the mech can't enter, thus living the player vulnerable. As soon as i got the essentials I'll move them to #gbstudio! #gameboy #gbart #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵 #horror #roguelike

Oooh just tried Q-UP, here are my two takes: 1. Lots of projects chasing Balatro these days, but I reckon this is the most interesting post-Balatro game I've seen so far 2. I'll play any game with a good D&B soundtrack bsky.app/profile/flan...

I am drunk on power after realizing Godot lets you embed textures in RichTextLabels, and well... ViewportTextures are textures. 🤯 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

There's a round of GOTY discussion going around, and I realized that a lot of my favourite games this year have been absolute Sicko Picks. So here's a few games I've loved so far in 2025, starting with a mild one: Babushka's Glitch Dungeon. A scrunkly lil' puzzle-metroidvania with so many fun verbs

A really great thread of unusual 2025 releases. It's sort of terrifying that despite talking to people and reading about games every day, and most of these games being the exact kind of thing I look for/share/discuss, I have heard of maybe four of the games in this thread. Game discovery, man.

I know I keep banging on about it but really, I think this bundle is such a fun collection of ideas, I just 'finished' levelling one character in Q-UP and it's just been such a fun gallery of little game design flourishes and beautiful design. store.steampowered.com/bundle/60852...

heyo, the prestige mechanic is almost there. I have some optimizations to do + some animation work and more UI #GameDev #IndieDev #Fliplike #GodotEngine store.steampowered.com/app/4112820/...

is friday nite. q-up and game dev lets go
