I spent this week switching to a tile-based character controller, along with heavily expanding my least-favorite part of game development: the user interface 😅 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godot

I keep getting asked which game engine actually makes the most sense right now, so I turned my answer into a tier list. Gotta admit, it felt very cathartic to talk about one engine in particular engine 😈 youtu.be/xm2DjvSP7Ss #gamedev #indiedev #godot #unreal #unity

Of all the engines I’ve used, Godot’s localization is easily the best. I think you can truly get by without writing a single-line of code thanks its 'Remap' feature allowing you to switch out fonts, images, etc depending on localization. It's freaking magic. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Who knew stress testing a level-up system could be fun? #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Everyone chases originality in game design, but the fact is, everything’s stolen. So how do we still have original ideas like Balatro and Lethal Company releasing? I try and tackle that conundrum in this video: youtu.be/9xgP8wkYNEs #indiedev #devlog #gamedev

Get Lost's auto-localization is complete! 🦾📝 Levels added to the game are automatically translated to 17 different regions. This means that stories from different cultures can be shared around the world 📢 🌎 So what is game localization? [1/7] 🧵 #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

There are a variety of level modifiers now for the tracks in my procedural racing game ❗ - Increases the difficulty 🔁 - Adds multiple laps ↗️ - Doubles the distance 💀 - Boss node that significantly increases difficulty and unlocks the next section #gamedev #indiegame

So I made a 3D game for a really weak handheld to see if limitations really make you a better game developer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWof... #indiedev #devlog #gamedev #playdate

Am workin on the card picking system now >:P Gonna get it done by this Wednesday for the showcase! #indiedev #gamedev #furry #pixelart

After 17 years in Unity, I’ve officially made the switch to Godot. I’ll be documenting the entire journey on YouTube, starting here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgwM... #godot #unity #indiedev #devlog #gamedev

1 week into a 2 week jam. Kinda shocked that I made pretty much everything you see here outside of the fonts and animations 😳 #gamedev #gamejam #solodev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #parkour

Pythia is now out on @itch.io! Built from scratch in just under 1 month, I'm incredibly happy with how this little project has turned out. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #gamejam

Pythia passed the Steam Deck test! Unfortunately it’s the weakest hardware in my house to test on lol. It actually worked pretty well with touch controls 🤔 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Wake up, babe, new commissioned music just dropped! #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Took a stab at the main menu. Also here's the tentative title for the game 😉 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

I discovered DoTween and it's amazing! I wish I had used it at the start of this game jam, but just look at these buttery smooth animations! Also super glad this is a month-long game jam. Took me two days to rip out the old animation system. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #screenshotsaturday

Spent today adding localization for some reason. I guess because I've never done it before and wanted to try? Regardless, jank #French, #German, and #Spanish now exist in the game lol. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

A couple of years ago I put together a pretty massive blog post on how to improve your pixel art, focusing on eight lessons to learn from a pro: @threeohfour.bsky.social. innkeepgame.com/eight-ways-t... Check it out and give us a retweet if you found it helpful! #pixelart #indiegames

So I decided to see what'd happen if I set the game speed to infinity ∞. You know, for science 🙂 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Got the first 8 wildcards working. Animation is a little jank, but so long as they're functional for the game jam that's all I care about 🤣 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Started making the art for the wildcards in my Balatro-inspired game. You can sort of think of these like Jokers mixed with Relics from Slay the Spire. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #rougelike

Been adding new tarot cards at a pretty solid click. Here's a preview of a few. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

So I added the a new tarot card to the game and quickly found myself in situations where I could deck myself out. The solution? The Rubber Duckee card! #unity #gamedev #indiedev #rougelike

Alright, here's my second shot at the UI. I tried out most of the ideas from my last post on it, but it felt like it was pulling focus from the main area of the game I wanted players engaged with. Therefore I decided to opt for a middle ground. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Instead of spending £300 on a binaural mic for my game dev work, I spent Sunday evening with some rubber ears from ebay, toilet roll tubes, duct tape and milliput to make one myself for under £30.

This industrial design isn't very fitting: anyone have some ideas for how I can make it lean more into mysticism/fortune telling? #unity #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike

Making progress on the diegetic shop menu. The items on the shelves match what's on the chalkboard. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #unity #unity3d #madewithunity #gameart #wip #digitalart #diegetic

I regret not using the fastest game speed to stress test my game 🤦🏻‍♂️ #unity #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike

Started this card game on New Years Eve and, about 1 week later, I think it's starting to look really good! I've got a pretty good idea in mind for where the game is going and I'm pretty stoked to see it get there now 💪🏻 #unity #gamedev #roguelike

🎉 Yesterday was our BEST SALES DAY EVER!! 🎉 It even beat out LAUNCH DAY 🤯 To everyone who has recommended, spoken or written about 1000xRESIST...THANK YOU. This is what we mean, when we say it's working 🥹🥰 More updates soon.

No idea why, but I decided to start working on a Balatro-inspired game on New Years Eve lol. I guess it'll be a good opportunity to finally learn Aseprite 😅 #gamedev #unity

Anyone find any hidden gems at #PAXU ? For me, it’s gotta be Pirate Borg. Though Slay the Spire the Boardgame was a very welcome surprise.

Headed to my hotel for PAX Unplugged! So what’s everyone planning to do? I may or may not have have forgotten to plan out what I want to do once getting here 😅 #PAXU #PAX #tabletop

Spent all of last week lost in Dragon Quest 3. Then I found a cat suit. This is officially the greatest JRPG of all time. No further questions. #dragonquest #dq3 #jrpg

That feeling when you need to reinstall your OS, ensure everything is backed up, download the ISO, and then realize you can't find a flash drive. Well at least I've got another day to determine the distro I want to check out 🫠 Just #linux things.

Here's some decent content creator gear that's on sale for Amazon's Black Friday Week sale thingy. Note that this isn't an exhaustive list; it's just what I think is actually worth your money.

Hi all! Some unexpected expenses came up so let me try and make some sales! CANTRIP is my GMless, diceless tabletop RPG about young witches at school getting in trouble and having BIG FEELINGS. Great for newbies and veteran roleplayers alike! hipolita.itch.io/cantrip

Alright, I'm finally settled into the hotel room. Now to talk about the drama that was my first outpatient dialysis. Going to mention a lot of bills getting piled up, so if you want to help, please consider donating to my GoFundMe. I need all the help I can get. www.gofundme.com/f/support-da...
