I’m always excited for new updates and shiny new gadgets!

After a while, I’m back with updates on Chivalric Quest! We reworked the core: switched from our own state machine to LimboAI for the player, and added behavior trees for enemies. Still needs polish, but it’s starting to look really good! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #godot

They say you need 10k hours to become an expert at something... well I'm at 5k hours of game dev and while the journey has had many ups and down, I'm excited to see where I am after another 5k hours! #gamedev #godot #unity #inidedev #inide #youtube youtu.be/oV0vYSq_WD8?...

It's Game Dev Tip Tuesday! Here's something I wish I knew when I started working on Decks Out: You can used named format variables for strings in GDScript! For instance: "I have {num_apples} apples!".format({ num_apples = 3}) #gamedev #godot #godotengine #gamedevtiptuesday

Big win on my Godot game, Chivalric Quest! Spent last week wrestling with resolution, scaling, and asset setup like it was a medieval dragon. After much trial (and error), it finally works! Learned a ton in the process. Pro tip: read the Godot docs early—it’s a lifesaver! 😅 #GameDev #Godot4
