Updates on my next game! It’s a potion puzzle game and you click ingredients in certain patterns to eliminate the potion cards. It’s early but I’m pleased with it. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #cozygames

It's a Christmas miracle I hit 100 followers weeeee! As a Christmas present please play my free little Christmas game to get you into the festive mood. ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr... #gamdev #indiedev #godot #cozygame

I decided that linktrees just are not personal enough, so I made my own! ginacities.com/links/ #webdev #websites #indiedev

I’ve been trying to get up to 100 followers on BlueSky for weeks, I just did it overnight on TikTok 🫠 such is life. But I did just post about how I made my Christmas game vm.tiktok.com/ZNRFqqS34/ #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I have added a Christmas room to my virtual pet dog game! Now you can give your site a refresh and give your dog a new home with a festive touch. 🎄 ginacities.itch.io/give-a-dog-a... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #cosygames

I've started an Instagram! And I have 0 followers lol. I am posting some of my little game and web dev content over there please consider following me 💕 #gamedev #indiedev #webdev www.instagram.com/ginacities/

Debating whether my website needs a guestbook. Do we bring back guestbooks? For science? #webdev #html #neocities #coding

My Little Christmas Market has now overtaken my first Itch game, that has been up for 3 months, in views (and also collections) in a week!! I'm really proud and pleased with the growth, this is really the sign I needed to keep making my small games. 👾 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #cozygaming

The solitude of making a game is really nice. Then entering the social world and marketing it is... a real pivot. Surprisingly I don't hate it but it does feel like emerging from hermit mode. #gamedev #indiedev

Today I’m starting a TikTok to showcase my games and my website wish me luck lol. #gamedev #indiedev

It's the 5th December, in case you're not feeling Christmas-y yet, here's my little Christmas game to help you feel festive 🎄 #godot #indiedev #cozygames #gamedev ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr...

Told myself I would take the evening off promoting my game and play The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood instead. Then I saw a small bug in someone else's gameplay and had to fix that. 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev

My day has been made by a video reviewing my game!! Also they uncovered the secret that the lamp posts can also be moved. 🎄 I am just so blown away by the kindness of people taking the time to play my little game. #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhAB... ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr...

I took the game dev advice of "make small games" very seriously with this one. A Little Christmas Market is free to play in browser on @itch.io ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #cozygaming

A Little Christmas Market is now live!! Please get cosy, get festive and enjoy my new little game, free to play in browser on @itch.io. ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr... #godot #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames

One more sleep until my game, A Little Christmas Market launches! It will be a sweet little way to get into the Christmas spirit. #godot #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames

Random thing that took me *all day* to implement: Using Y Sort Enabled in Godot so that items placed are in front of stalls when placed low down, and behind them when placed higher up, then applying the same for NPCs. If done well, nobody will know you did anything at all. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

I've been busy working on my little Christmas game that's launching next week! I've added a dedicated "move mode" with a grid based system to customise your market. 🎄 #indiedev #godot #gamedev #cozygame

My website is now called GinaCities due to my love of internet days of yore. Today I added a section for the pages I’ve spotted that have embedded my little doggy ❤️🐶 ginacities.com #gamdev #godot #webdev #neocities

Up until now Christmas market stalls were unlocked and had to stay in one location but I decided to add a bit more customisability so ... Christmas market stalls can now be placed! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Another site using my pet doggy! It makes me so happy to see these breadavota.cafe/bakery/#fido... #godot #indiedev #gamdev

Of course there are cats and dogs in my little Christmas game! AND people react positively to seeing them 🥰 I will be releasing in a few weeks for free on @itch.io #indiedev #gamedev #cozygames

My website gina.dev is up for "Most Beautiful" on Petra Pixel's Indie Web contest, pls vote for me if you have a minute petrapixel.neocities.org/contest <3 #webdev

This is it!! After 1+ year of development, our game Magical Greenhouse is finally released! Thank you so much everyone for your support, your playtests and your kind words, we wouldn't be here without you! ✨🌸🌿💖 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevs #cozygame

My little game opening ⭐ not sure if I've made it obvious enough that it's a tree? 🎄 #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Well I guess natural human movement is hard, because currently the market go-ers in my little Christmas game look like they're in a zombie apocalypse. sigh. #godot #indiedev #gamdev

Trying to work on my game and someone is trying to distract me 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #cozygames

Happy Halloween! Please take this day to enjoy my lil doggy in a halloween themed room. ginagiannetti.itch.io/give-a-dog-a... #indiedev #gamedev #godot

My next small game is going to be a Christmas market! Here's the almond stand. The shopkeepers randomly generate so every time you load the game it will be different :) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I've started working on my next small game! ...and I've set myself the stupid target that it's going to be Christmas themed soo wish me luck 🎁⛄ #indiedev #gamedev #godot

If like me you have more time than good sense you can change all your iPhone apps to look like the Nook Phone in Animal Crossing. Yes yes. xx #acnh #animalcrosssing #cozygames #cozygaming

Does anyone else remember the giant omelette in Neopets? Like I would go and get a free omelette every day?? #neopets #retroweb

@lyamgtt.bsky.social I've just fallen down a hole playing all your games on Itch and they are incredible! Such a pretty aesthetic I'm completely obsessed 💜💕

Another @neocities.org site has used my pet doggy! Ahh it makes me so happy! lemontchi.neocities.org/home #indiedev #gamedev #neocities #godot

I've added an animated CRT effect to my website just to add to the #retro vibe. Also there's a new cursor because... well you just have to really. gina.dev #webdev #indiedev #gamedev @neocities.org

This was the inspiration for my little game. My happy lucky rescue pup called Honey. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #indiedev #gamedev

This morning I was sent a website that has embedded my doggy game on their page! Ahh it finally happened 💕 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

My @neocities.org page was already showcasing my little game in action but now if you toggle dark mode it even changes the doggy and the room to match! gina.dev #neocities #webdev #gamedev #indiedev

Yesterday eve I had a comment on my Itch page that flagged a genuine bug, I fixed it and posted it in a devlog update. Maybe it's silly but the idea that someone found a bug while trying to use my little pet game made me feel like a real game dev. 🥹👾👩🏽‍💻 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Cool website idea: a "dark mode" button but when you click it things get spooky and mildly offensive ?? 💀 🎃 #webdev #indiedev

In my virtual pet game you can choose from 4 different rooms for your doggy to live in, which one is your favourite? 🌸🎃🌿💻 ginagiannetti.itch.io/give-a-dog-a... #gamdev #solodev #godot #indiedev

A couple days ago I tried to launch my game and Itch was down. Today I tried to market my game and there was a global AWS outage. I guess for the sake of the internet I should give up. 😭😭 #indiedev #gamedev

I was really inspired by all the sites on @neocities.org and the throwbacks to how the internet used to look so that's why I made a little pet that will happily live on your page, there are lots to choose from! See the one I went with here: gina.dev #neocities #webdev #webdesign #indiedev

Give a Dog a Home is now available for free on @itch.io ! As my very first game, it is a simple little doggy that you can embed on your website to live forever and be happy as all doggies should. ginagiannetti.itch.io/give-a-dog-a... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

So I'm getting ready to launch my first ever game and @itch.io is down! Don't get too excited. It's just an ambient dog that walks around. But still, unlucky.

This is my dog, I rescued her last year, she is a 10 year old Chihuahua called Honey 🍯

Is it as nice on here as they say? Who are they and how do I speak to them pls.
