I played the first few hours of Hytale and so far I'm enjoying it, but it also feels like "yet another Minecraft clone". Maybe it'll get more unique later down the line, but if it doesn't, people are just going to forget about it and go back to play Minecraft.

You can now find water underground. You can't go through it and you it can ruin your plans. But at the same time, a large body of water can mean a large open area where it's easy to find ores. #gamedev #games #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine #godot #pixelart #minesweeper

Added some toasts (not the kind you eat 🍞) to show what item you picked up. Not sure if I should keep the item animation though because it kinda covers the play area. #gamedev #games #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine #godot #pixelart #minesweeper

We need your help! To stress test our back end systems and get ready for the 13th we enabled downloads of the launcher. You can download and sign in to get ready now! accounts.hytale.com/download Thank you, and we look forward to having you in game soon! #Hytale

Updated the looks of the world. The downside is that the numbers are less visible now... I'll either have to change how the terrain decorations are placed or give the numbers a higher contrast. #gamedev #games #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine #godot #pixelart #minesweeper

For No Reason in Particular Here’s a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis

Some time ago I stopped using GitHub and moved my newest projects to Codeberg. Today, since I had some time, I decided to finish the job and now every single (public) project I cared about has been moved to Codeberg. #gamedev #degoogle #opensource #microsoft #demicrosoft

PSA: LibreOffice is a free and opensource alternative to "Microsoft 365 Copilot App", formerly known as "Microsoft Office" www.libreoffice.org

Tried a lot of different things, but I think I found a UI style that fits the theme I was going for. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #godot #godotengine

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

New year resolutions: - Release another game - Play all the games I have in my Stream library but never opened - Finally learn to draw instead of throwing colours in and hoping it turns out well - Be mean more often - Get better at shaders stuff

Happy new year! May this 2019 be a good year for you!

UX question: What do you think should happen if I press the sell button next to the coal? A: Sell 2 coal, earn 10€ (5€ for each) B: Sell 2 coal, earn 20€ (10€ for each) C: Sell 1 coal, earn 10€ #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #godot #godotengine #ui #ux

Did you know you can pass script types around in #gdscript and use them as normal variables? Just have give a class_name to your script and it's ready to go! #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

You can do it with rails too! Or you can at least pretend they're rails... programmer art rails at least... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #godot #godotengine

Pretty disappointed in both @humblebundle.com and especially in @girlswhocode.bsky.social. Please teach girls how to code, don't push them into generative AI. That won't build their skills. Prioritize foundational programming skills and awaken their interest. "Tired of long days writing code"???

You can place torches now! #gamedev #godot #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The team here at Bytten Studio has been working hard on our next game project, which we'll share more information on in 2026. We're really excited for it - we can't talk about it just yet, so please sit tight! In the meantime, have a happy holidays from us! 🎃

I animated the cursor! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart

It took me forever to figure out how to make this inspector, but it was worth it. This is much more convenient than using an array of resources. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

Making everything data-driven sure is hard, but look how juicy it looks! Makes me want to eat it. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Bluesky’s head of trust & safety responding with a sarcastic image macro to a woman upset her husband was kidnapped by ICE is embarrassingly unprofessional & cruel behavior. that account was then banned by Bluesky Trust & Safety. horrendously poor community management. what purpose does this serve?

Animated transition between scenes. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #godotengine #pixelart

This is interesting... I was trying to add mod support by loading .pck files and according to the docs DirAccess shouldn't show changes made after loading the pack, so I can't scan the res:// folder to find mods... but it seems like it DOES show the change? #gamedev #godot #godotengine

Making prototypes that don't end up going anywhere is my passion. Try it here: hexagonnico.itch.io/incremental-... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #godot #godotengine

What a nice working environment it must be when the third question on the job application is "We believe you are worthless and disposable and we won't hesitate even a second to kick you out after we're done exploiting you. Are you ok with that?" #gamedev

I used to make custom maps in Minecraft when I was 12. Then I said "what if I learned programming to make mods?" Then I said "what if I make my own games directly?"

"The Archives". Made for my Minecraft underground dungeons mod. modrinth.com/mod/undergro... #minecraft #modding #minecraftmod #moddedminecraft #mcdev

Wait, so, Andrew Price is GenAI-positive? Well alright then. www.reddit.com/r/blender/co...

3 out of 6 are Indies.

I'm still not convinced about turning this prototype into a full game. The problem is that after it's just a puzzle game. And puzzle games notoriously don't go well. That's why I was so surprised when I saw it doing numbers on Itch. Not sure... #gamedev #indiedev

Why did it take me 35 hours of gameplay to find out Silksong has a Garama button?
