The discourse over the past week made me realise a lot of people don't hate AI because they have principles, they only hate it because social media tells them they have to.

Make stuff.

Storage chests in the making: #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #minesweeper

I'm rethinking this change I've made about not losing your progress when you die. Now I'm finding myself hitting walls at random whenever I'm at a dead end because it's not a big deal anymore and I don't really like that. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #minesweeper

Man, I'm tired of having to leave spaces I'm in, tired of having to double check everything, tired of having to look for alternatives, tired of having to background-check everything I interact with. Why do *I* have to leave? I was here first. Why can't the AI leave?

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

Ladies and Gentlemen and everybody in between, it is with great regret that I inform you that, starting today, I am officially closer to being 30 than I am to being 20.

So... Are we gonna start seeing less of "5+ years of experience with Unreal Engine required" now or nah?

Finished working on the smelting mechanic! Be patient, metal takes a while to melt... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

In case you need it: I wrote a tutorial/blog/thing about automating the release of Godot games on Steam and Itch: hexagonnico.codeberg.page/blog/export-... #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

When I saw Kenney was making a flags asset pack, as a flag nerd I HAD to make a flag quiz game: #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Heyo! The update that brings the ability to save the game is out now! Full changelog and some of my thoughts here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/448... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

the demo for our roguelite+MegaMan-kinda game is out! you can try it on steam! we're a team of two queer devs who have a hard time competing with groups with marketing budgets and shit, so sharing and stuff is SUPER appreciated thanks! :3 store.steampowered.com/app/4297720/... #indiegame #gamedev

Does this have meme potential?

Here is what happens now when you hit a mine: pay for the damage and go back. No more resets. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

You can now pick between different screen proportions and zoom in the camera! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

Game can now be saved and reloaded! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

I reached a point where I'm struggling to balance technical work (camera settings, saving the game, etc.) and work on game content (new biomes, new upgrades, etc.). I'm starting to think my plan to release in December was a bit too ambitious. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Godot could really use exception handling tbh... I don't want my game to go into segmentation fault if a save file has been modified. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

If you are on GitHub, please give your NSFW/queer/furry peers some support 🙏: github.com/bluesky-soci... Given bsky team's track record, I have doubts about the effectiveness of directly appealing to them. But short of abandoning the platform, it's at least some form of action.

New trailer for Whelm. #gamedev #indiedev

I've been having the intrusive thought of making my own IDE recently... Must... resist... too many projects already...

OBLITERATE! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #godotengine #minesweeper

PSA: If you have a demo up on Steam, the "Download demo" button has recently been moved to the sidebar where it is barely visible. If you want to make it more visible, you have to go to Edit store page > Special Settings > Display demo download button as more prominent #gamedev #indiedev #steam

If you were a video game character, what would your health pickup be?

I have no idea how this happened. The audio is muted for your own good. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #godot #godotengine #minesweeper

I wanted to go to Confuzzled this year, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it. I thought 4 months in advance was a good time to book, but no! Hotels? All full in a 3Km radius. Flights? All gone. Welp. Lesson learned. Keep refreshing the page before the registration opens next time.

New short up on YouTube! youtube.com/shorts/0_Z7r... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children.

You can now play using only the mouse! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart #minesweeper

yo I read the book like 12 years ago this brings back memories

Why screw up your game's reputation by having 4 AI images that were basically wall art? Why not just... not include them? Or get an artist to draw 4 random pieces of art? Or use stock images? There are so many other options that don't include the art theft machine.
