Alright, the procedural tile generator is live. You can try it out here for free: originlessgamer.itch.io/procedural-t... Let me know if you encounter any issues. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #art #procedural #tilemap #2d

I've been spamming with this shit generator like crazy, I'm sorry, ahah, but I'm finally happy with it. I'll pack it and upload to itch io or something, it'll be completely free🙌 If I forgot any cool features or if I should delete my account, let me know😂 #gamedev #tools #pixelart #procedural #art

Upgraded the procedural tile generator: - added 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 res support - bricks and leaves patterns - 3x3 preview grid - and also the tilemap, kinda works, but it's not quite there yet, and I can't even explain what feels off😅 #procedural #pixelart #tilemap #godot #devtools #art

The tile generator kinda works. It already feels genuinely useful, but now I want to add: - 16x16, 64x64 or even custom size - tilemap generator, but tiles should be rotated and still be seamless for best results Thoughts?😅 #generator #procedural #gamedev #tools #pixelart #pixels #aseprite

I got a random idea & turned it into a prototype for a procedural tile generator. Water and grass suck, but rock textures look decent. Do you think it could be useful for your project, what features would you expect? #gamedev #prototype #tilemaps #textures #art #pixelart #generator #procedural

It's coming together.. right now, more as a canvas rather than a complete world, but it gives a bigger picture of the first level / map / island or whatever. I've already found a tutorial to make water more interesting compared to a static sprite, but I'll see how it goes :D #godot #gamedev

Medieval summer fashion 1337 B.C.😆 No more running around naked🍓 Now, I just need to make that gear provide actual stats and not just the visuals 🙄 #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #godot

May not be the prettiest strike, but as long as it nukes those roaches, that works for me😆 #gamedev #indiegame #prototyping

While I'm frying my brain and trying to come up with meaningful game loop / chain upgrade ideas, thought I'd focus on the little things to give the game a little more polish, this time - cooldowns 💫😅 #gamedev #indiegame #godot #solodev

New spell "Ice Wave" - applies a chilling effect to enemies, and optionally could completely freeze them. I can finally swap items and it means something, could be emergent gameplay or just autism xD Music: CABAL Online OST - Forgotten Temple B2F #gamedev #godot #indiegame #bulletheaven

It's been a week since my last post: got a new position at my job, made a couple of prototypes, burned out, spent a whole day playing diablo immortal, got new ideas, so I'm back xD Here's a new aura preview. I'm surprised that it works😅 Music: NFS Heat - El Diablo #godot #gamedev #indiegame

Anyone #vibecoding here? I think I know your pain (well, I definitely solved mine😆) I made this custom tool using #python that reads a #godot scene file and returns all the scene nodes and types like: Parent - Child1 -- Child2, etc I don't know if I should share it, but let me know... #devtools

I love how adding a pause menu and player death logic absolutely nukes your game, ahah The cascading effect of everything falling apart is insane :D It's better to do early and build around it, rather than suffer the consequences later #gamedev #indiegame #godot #gamedesign

When you look at this prototype what ideas come to mind? (except junk😂) What thoughts does it inspire: interactions, mobs, meta progression and so on, feel free to share! Maybe you can even steal some for your game ✍️ #gamedesign #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #prototype #godot #thoughts #solodev

I've been riding my depression roller coaster, while designing this spell book, and finally managed to rework the spells to be rolled inside the dungeon, so this spell book would make sense. Instead of just "having" skills, you'll learn / memorize them🤓 #gamedev #indiegame #uiux #godot #design

Can't wrap my head around the tangled systems before and after my day job, I had like a few hours of free time, but now this time is spent thinking rather than building🤔 Anyway, here's a video of updated gameloop where I finally have 2 skills which I can use💪 #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

That new skill was extremely painful to add, that's where my beautiful (💩) architecture really starts to shine (and smell) haha Anyway, as long as it compiles, who cares🤪 Next I should somehow wire it up to the UI and start using more than 1 skill (i've got 2 for now 😆) #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Moar juice 😆 They say you shouldn't polute your prototype with fancy visuals, but it really does help to scratch that itch and keep going. If it looks like a complete pile of crap, you're unmotivated to even open the project 😅 #gamedev #indiegame #godot #prototype #shaders

I don't even know what git is, so I just copy-paste folders before doing any feature and after "shipping" something functional. Here's the progress of my trash game that I've been working on since March 8, 2026 till today (April 25, 2026) 😅 #gamedev #devjourney #data

Wait is it the so-called playable core #game loop right there? Nah, it's bullshit, but it works xD Added: 1. Upgrade cards 2. Stats reset when leaving the dungeon to add meta progression later Fixed: - Loot won't get stuck because of loot magnet + safe drop #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

Now everything is an actual object, so to do next: 1. Water (or maybe the last) 2. Loot drops on collisions, and hard to pick up 3. Not much of the "actual game" currently to be honest, but it's the hardest part xD #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

My face when I'm slopping the world map together... the CollisionPolygon2D look weird man xD #godot #worldbuilding #map #funny #gamedev

Here's a 1152x648 picture upscaled to 1.6 in #godot. This section looks very small, so I assume the whole #map (island) will be tiny... (~5x11 sections) Now actually adding all these things as textures or objects with collisions is rocket science for me xD #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Alright, so I just decided to start with one of the sections and that single prop took me like 2 days (non-broken ship also took ~2 days), so that's not even a complete scene, but already -4 days of my life xD. I figured that I need a total of ~48-55 sections, and I think I'm screwed :D #pixelart

How do you approach #worldbuilding? I feel an absolute existential dread when it comes to planning how the map will look xD I used #figma to create 48 sections of 1152x648 resolution (my default godot project viewport) and will then draw art for each of these sections... #rpg #design #gamedev

So I've been cooking all day again, but this pirate is even more cooked😂 Thank god he is dumb enough to kick his own ass, haha oh wait, it's actually me who's dumb... gotta go back and fix it... #gamedev #indiegame #godot #funny

Snifffff... 🍃 Smells like scope creep 😆 Had to make that giant map just to draw that tiny island just to give myself context to make an actual island just to make sense of the current things I already have. Btw I'm still in my test level, so it makes no sense xD #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #godot

I haven't added collisions or anything, but looks good enough for me xD I wanted to make an opening scene, so the game doesn't launch you straight into beating mobs. This ship is one of the props for that opening. Hopefully, that thing will sail one day :D #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #godot

I wanted to keep the layers organized, but at some point I just gave up, I think I'm screwed xD I need to at least separate the "body" of the ship from the masts / sails, otherwise I will not be able to walk under them. Also I wanted to make sails animated, but hell nah :D #pixelart

Sketching a little ship before my 9/5 rendezvous✍️ #pixelart

Alright, so does it look like I know what I'm doing? Because I've got absolutely no clue what the hell I'm building here 😂 Anyway, I've got: 1. Piles of gold 2. Mobs drop XP 3. Player's leveling up only inside the dungeon (don't ask why, I think I'm retarded) #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #godot

I can't stop cooking, help😂 I feel like a bloody drug addict, just one more polish, one more feature... Soon I should draw some grass, so I can touch it xD #godot #gamedev #indiegame

I need screen clearing spells so bad xD Well, and proper rewards (loot).. ... and EXP gain ... and progression ... minibosses? ... storyline? The project isn't even doing anything crazy yet, but has already grown beyond comprehension :D #gamedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart

Alright, back to the grind after a little existential crisis 😅 - Added dungeon transitions (Entry -> Exit) - Mob wave spawning inside the dungeon It all looks rough and stupid, but the fact that it works makes me piss my pants xD #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #godot

ngl the UI rework was pretty scary, a lot of things collapsed, but now it should be more robust to do next (maybe): 1. wire the auto-attack thing to actually auto-attack 2. add more skills 3. make mobs drop xp, etc. #gamedev #indiegame #ui #godot

At least it aligned... Right? #godot #ui

After taking a hard look at my inventory, I decided to rework it... But god damn I'm having a stroke from godot ui building, I'm literally just going with the flow. Somehow it aligned in Figma, but doesn't align in Godot, so I added more inventory slots xD #godot #gamedev #ui

A little UI update before my job consumes me xD I've added glow effect, portal visuals, new slots, etc. I almost maxed out my initial plan, so I gotta go back into my cave and think what the hell do I do next, this step is somehow most painful, haha #indiegame #gamedev #godot #pixelart

It has nothing to do with gaming, but this video has given me such a boost of motivation that I'm absolutely pumped to keep grinding gamedev xD I thought I might share, because maybe it's what you need to hear today as well youtu.be/clgJ85g23EE?... #mindset #gamedev #motivation #selfdevelopment

Alright, so mobs can now kick my square pants xD These 2 days have been painful, the mob packs are 500+ lines of code now and I had to put them on another layer because they were pushing me around and I couldn't fix it But things are slowly turning into something :D #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

🤔The only way to learn game dev is to grind through your own crap code, art & architecture. If you can still add one more feature & it compiles, you're fine. If it doesn't, you scrap it & start again Here's a UI preview btw, so I can see mobs beat the life out of me 😅 #gamedev #pixelart #mindset

I wanted to avoid the striding / gliding, but I think it plays better with it. The "realistic" feel leads to clunky controls as if you're piloting an aircraft with a control stick in your 🍓 The project is almost unmaintanable though😆 Let's see if roaches can ever fight back #indiegame #gamedev

Look at me fighting with those roaches for the breadcrumbs under my kitchen sink :D My architecture is total garbage though, so if I can make that staff shoot fireballs, I'll make sure to point it at my codebase xD #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #godot

I've added an attack motion, it looks pretty stupid xD At this point, my brain is literally melting from the system complexity. It makes me appreciate games 1000 times more. I've no idea if I can make it anywhere further than that, I'm absolutely suffering, haha #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Here we go, I can finally equip items properly + added a bunch of quality of life features for more responsiveness. I've no idea if I'm doing it right, most probably not, but for now it works. Let's see how much more I can crunch out before it all collapses, haha #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #ui

I lowkey get dopamine spikes just by moving items around the inventory 😅 The new challenge is to actually make the character hold them. I've been thinking about it for at least a week now, it's already giving me nightmares... The hardcoded thing doesn't count xD #gamedev #indiegame

Alright, so this is not even spaghetti anymore, it's the whole bloody lasagna, absolute la pasta xD From displaying the item on the ground to this inventory, and how it's all wired, no way this is going to be scalable Yet another bottleneck to be crying about for the next week #gamedev #indiegame

Added a sword and rebuilt the mob packs to be more "modular" if that's even achievable with my cuc*oding, I mean, vibecoding skills🤠 Now, how do I even go from movement to combat... 1. Full body, engage directly 2. Hand lives separately 3. "Ghost" engages, etc. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

At this point I don't even know what I'm doing :D Making these stupid roaches walk took 100+ lines of code, making the icons pop - about the same. Gotta clean up the mess before moving forward, but after my 9/5 I have zero brain cells left xD #pixelart #indiegame

POV: playtesting a mob / enemy xD Honestly? Feels like I'm going in circles - anything, but doing a proper combat system, because then it means: 1. Picking / storing / holding items (inventory?) 2. Adding skills / attacks 3. Figuring out spawn logic ... and the list goes on #indiegame #pixelart
