Late night #gamedev fit check. PJ poncho. Time to go round up some SDF UI panels.

Such a great team and such a lovely charming game. The game gives me Delicious in Dungeon vibes with the quirky charm cranked up to 11. Wishlist this one if you haven't yet! #indiegame

Big thanks to @jembawls.com who was the first person to stream Bumper Bout! Pretty wild watching someone play your labour of love on stream. Made it better that that someone was an old friend. ❤️

Factory was playable for the first time at QLD Games Fest. This level is complex but it was a hit. Players hit balls in to the spinners in the middle which charge their power bank, the conveyor at the top moves in the direction of the higher power delivering goodies. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Reassuring that early on I found the hard CPU too hard to beat 90% of the time, but as I become more familiar with the best strategy for each level It's become much closer. The game genuinely feels easy to pick up hard to master which I'm really proud of! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Bumper Bout won People's Choice Award at the Queensland Games Festival ❤️ very grateful

Go time!

New Trailer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Jcz... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gametrailer #trailer

I love to see games like this, it looks incredibly cool! I can't wait to see more.

This is absolutely stunning and more people need to see it. I love it so much.

I've updated the default art for Redjack. (left old, right new) It better fits my new style and his more recent attack portrait. I really like it! He has so much charm and seems calm and bold at the same time. #indiegame #indiedev #art #characterart

The three day headache to get something complicated right is worth it when it all clicks together, you play it, and get that "omg it works" grin.

There's a fire at the factory! More details soon

My wishlists doubled overnight. Pretty shocked, then I did a bit of digging and found this. A prominent Japanese Twitter account tweeted about Bumper Bout! It's amazing, I'm so grateful and excited! x.com/i/status/206...

oops

Islands: We're all getting equal texture space right?? ...right? Me: 👁️👄👁️

I just showed a friend some art I just finished and they immediately sent back an AI version of it and like... Man. Cmon.

Stop you can't make your pinball a character. No. Stop. Uh oh. #art #characterart #indiedev #indiegame

A couple of images I made for desk stands at the upcoming Queensland Games Festival.

Stress test. Happy new year? #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Bumper Bout is playable at Supanova Sydney this weekend! PvP Pinball to settle the score. Pick the stage, your character, then unleash their super power to take home the trophy. Let me know if you get to play it! @supanovaexpo.bsky.social #indiedev #indiegame

I don't work hard enough.

As I start "Vector Layer 3411" I want you all to know I do this for you.

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Literally played thousands of matches now and it's never happened before.

I've been a busy bee preparing a massive push for the QLD Games Festival, and in preparing some designs for the show floor I stumbled across this, which was the first thing I ever made for the game. I had the idea while driving to work, then made this as soon as i got home. It's come a long way.

Tonight my 4yo asked me to model a robot for Bumper Bout, so we did together. Makes this guy just a little more special.

Demos for quick turnaround multiplayer games? Bumper Bout will feature multiple characters and stages, so releasing a demo with just a few seems like it should be fine? I may release one at the end of the month but am unsure how much to include. I'd appreciate any thoughts! #indiedev #gamedev

I guess that's enough work tonight.

I will die on this hill.

One week since the knee surgery and with the pain killers ive been lacking motivation, mental clarity Tonight I forced myself to open the project and just tweak values. I ended up fixing all the UI on the game to work for ultrawide monitors now Sometimes you just need to start. Thats all. One step

Surgery went well. Leg hurts. Back on the horse! So pleased to announce that Bumper Bout will be featured at the Queensland Games Festival 2026. I would be so happy if you could play the most recent demo there. Brisbane Powerhouse, June 27. Cya there! #indiedev #qldgames #ausgames

Moonbrella is genuinely so fun. Every time I get to play it I'm sad I have to stop. Wishlist this one for sure!

Going in for reconstruction knee surgery in a few hours, so I'll be inactive for a while. Wish me luck!

So real. I really just want people to have fun playing my game it's not about the money.

Finished adding a "Finished!" UI popup when the match is over, as well as a victories counter to keep score. Previously I noticed players confused when the end of match slowdown happened, as people would tend to lock in and focus on defending their own side at the pointy end of things. #indiedev

If you're a freak you might enjoy this RPG game jam. Again I must stress, freaks only.

I made a Smash Bros island in Tomodachi Life.

Monday! Let's rock and roll.

Not game dev this time sorry, but we were at a quirky nursery today and I had some fun doing some amateur #photography of the cool statues there and wanted to share. Feel free to use as reference or whatever!

I've been reading a lot about this Mixtape discourse. The IGN 10/10 and that post showing you can't fail even if you press nothing. In short I think reviews are subjective so that's not a problem, but for the failstate issue, failing and continuing is interesting but there should be consequence.

I should probably call this done but I'm having too much fun. 💥I wonder how hard real time impact frames are to do.. #indiedev #vfx

hell yeah

I went through so many emotions with these designs but I've landed on "this is so weird and bold in a way only Nintendo seems to do, and I sort of love it for that". Very excited for June. 25th.

When you're a solo dev, you really need to use every scrap of time wisely. That's why I spent half an hour on a glass shader for these background windows nobody will see.

I made the decision to re-make Nova's attack artwork. Hers was the first one I made and honestly it never felt great for me. Since making Attack art for all the other characters and noticing the trends in how I was putting newer art together, I just had to apply that to the best girl ever. Worth it.
