Heads up #gamedev! Steam has added NEW TAGS to the store. Consider if your game fits any of them: Bullet Heaven Desktop Companion Organizing Cleaning Decorating Wuxia Xianxia Falling Blocks Espionage Samurai Zoo Wolves Capybaras Animals Cult Poker Language Learning

New video, in which I explain (calmly) why all indie developers belong in the trash (for research purposes) #gamedev #indiedev #steamdumpsterdiving www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CIK...

PREQUEL TIME: I made a bonus episode of my monster-battler-building #pokemon rip-off series where I cover the starter code, some basic #godot concepts and also apologize for some of my many many mis-steps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2hA... #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Good morning. If making a visual novel in Godot interests you, I made a tutorial for that, I hope this playlist helps you out: youtube.com/playlist?lis... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Gave some shout outs to @minapecheux.bsky.social @queble.bsky.social @beanjbunny.bsky.social as cool smallish #godot creators in my latest Godot propaganda video. LEARN! MAKE GAMES! IT'S FUN! #gamedev #indiedev #unreal #unity www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dGx...

As everyone knows, March 30 is the least spooky day of the year. So it's the best day to spookify your #godot game with some bone-chilling effects. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb_m... #gamedev #indiedev #horrorgaming

So, Slay the Spire 2 is approaching $100m in gross sales in 2 weeks. This makes it already 5x more profitable than the entire lifetime sales of next biggest game produced in Godot, Brotato. Without a doubt, we've hit the point where some professional folks will be thinking they need to learn Godot.

When you buy a cheap skull on the internet and make it hover. #gamedev #indiedev #godot youtube.com/shorts/zIbaX...

The best thing about games with lots of cutscenes is that they give you a chance to work on your own stuff while you wait for everyone to blab and do their cool action moves.

Final episode in my series where we build out the data flow for a whole-ass pokemon battle system, up now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TJ3... #godot #gdscript #pokemon #gamedev #indiedev

Godot custom resources, and how to use them to author pretty much all of your game content. #godot #indiedev #gamedev #programming #gdscript www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc5R...

Did you know that statically typed GDScript is easier to read, runs faster, and never forgets to call its mom on her birthday? better code, yeah yeah yeah! #godot #gdscript #programming #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/shorts/G6EJh...

Coffee and Godot on an undisclosed Caribbean island. (I GUESS its weird that I want to take a break from the beach to code) #godot #indiedev #vacation

STATIC TYPING in GDSCRIPT will make your code faster. and more bug free but mostly just better to read The dawning of an era of FULLY TYPED LUXURY SPACE GODOT is upon us www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsCK... #gdscript #godot #indiedev #gamedev #programming

the year is 2026 the top charting switch games are diablo 2 (?) a star trek voyager game (????) caves of qud (?????????)

If you're a small studio or an indie dev, I need you to understand that you're all that's gonna be left when the billion dollar oroboros that is the gaming industry finishes eating itself. Make the games you wanna see.

"Isometric games don't exist" is a guide with 40 detailed charts about perspective in videogames. It teaches you everything about isometry and what all the other game perspectives & projections are and how they work. You can download it for free on my itch page cyangmou.itch.io/isometric-ga...

The Capra Demon is a puzzle boss. This is an INCREDIBLE piece of design. Having recently played through this and was VERY frustrated by Capra... this absolutely casts it in a new light. @illusorywall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=oskS... #darksouls #gamedev #gamedesign

I have bloviated briefly on how modern roguelikes are paced to constantly move players forward to avoid boring, conservative strategies www.youtube.com/watch?v=51fO... #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

Woohoo! Godot 4.6 is out. Lots of cool stuff, especially for 3D workflows. godotengine.org/releases/4.6/ #godot #gamedev #indiedev

👑👑👑 Very happy that more people are talking accessibility in games. Xalavier is rad.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

In the span of weeks, I've gone from someone who has never used Godot, to struggling to "get" Godot, to really liking Godot, to having taught aspiring gamedevs the basics of Godot, to strongly believing Godot's workflow & structure might be the best approach to developing games for many purposes.

Part 11 is here! Did you know that we can REUSE almost all of our move code to handle items? Because we can! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAtT... #indiedev #gamedev #pokemon #programming #godot

Forgot to post this when it came out, but: LETS FIX SOME BUGS AND MAKE THE UI ASYNC in our poke-clone www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hi7... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #programming

The term "bug" for computer bug gained popularity when they found a literal moth in the circuits of the Harvard Mark II in 1947! Look at this lil guy. A moth hero, standing up to the machines. americanhistory.si.edu/collections/...

Planning #gamedev milestones for 2026 lead me to compare the number of enemy types in various #roguelike games:

The most British crime possible has been committed

This would be a really worthwhile task for the modding community to take up (if they haven't already, I haven't dug too deep into cyberpunk mods). It really should be done by the devs, though.
