This is such an empowering message (but also damn, part of my brain is immediately thinking about how much meaning this adds to Deltarune)

Wasn't expecting Until Then DLC to release so soon! Until Then was my favorite game (and story) back in 2024, will forever keep recommending it for anyone who loves narrative games, or enjoys moments between people in quiet conversation (🙋me), or wants to support Filipino/SEA developers and games!

If an author from your childhood is still around, and if they have a website/means to contact them, let them know what their works mean to you! I want to reach out to every creator (writer, developer, director, voice actor, musician...) whose work moved me, while they're still around to hear it

I watched Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun on DVD and watched my player stutter and skip an entire episode. Ah, the good old days! Fun fact: the EN voice actor for Sakura, Juliet Simmons, also voiced Mem-cho from Oshi no Ko! My mind was blown when I realized. Perfect casting & performance for both roles.

Achieved a milestone as a non-programmer: made sense of GitHub and how it works. Even made a small guide approved by my CS friend. All of it is daunting at first, but it makes sense (and incredibly useful). Highly recommend using version control to your projects, even with solo works! #DevDiary2026

Some weekly updates to chronicle my game dev process! To get insight on digital game distribution, I read the entire Steamworks Documentation... I'm at a point where I just want to make games for fun, but it would be a cool milestone to publish a game on Steam before this year ends #DevDiary2026

I'll try to keep this place posted consistently. Mostly for myself as some sort of public diary, as it relates to game dev whatever. I think it'd be nice to look back and see how far I've come. I've been looking at Yarn Spinner and Unity / C# in general. As a writer, I need more coding experience

Woah, it's been a while since I've been on this site. And done anything game-dev related. Still the start of a new year, and I kinda want to try something out that I envisioned from last year. It's about time

🌕 PRE-ORDERS OPEN! 🦋 P3RE:flect’s shop is open for a full month and will close July 10th 11:59 PM (EDT/GMT-4). p3reflect.bigcartel.com At least 50% of our profit goes to our selected charity: CareForGaza! Please see the thread for more details about each bundle 🧵

Momento is finally released! This game went through many iterations, but I believe the final version stayed true to what I wanted to do. This is my personal reflection on the small moments, to those who come and go. Check it out on itch below! seacabel.itch.io/momento #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

thought this was really beautiful

Also, #SmallGameStudio has been amazing! Enjoyed playing through all of the games we made, listening to the Pecha Kuchas, and just seeing everyone's progress every week (especially late night on Mondays... it's finally over)! Hope yall continue to make games, I'll always be down to play them!🫡

The final stretch! I’m close to publishing Momento on itch, but taking a few more hours to implement certain things like the pause menu, which turned out to be more complicated when sound was involved. If you want the menu to still have SFX, just add a new AudioSource! (1/3) #SmallGameStudio

After reflecting on my time left before the EoY Showcase, I decided to pivot from the original angle for my game. Kind of bums me out, but making multiple desk scenes is out of scope at this rate. My philosophy has always been small moment + complete > big concept + half-baked (1/3) #SmallGameStudio

Though I’m running behind with actual Unity programming, I’ve been taking some time to see how others have approached “memory” in other mediums. I stumbled upon “Everywhere at the End of Time,” a harrowing music album by The Caretaker, about the deterioration of the human mind (1/4) #SmallGameStudio

To anyone at their personal desk / workspace right now: what objects are on it? I'm making a game about capturing life moments of a character via their desk composition, so any input is appreciated! As for my desk: keys, ID, notepads, mic, Switch, Ovid's Metamorphoses... #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

Ok so I got a point-and-click system working! Here's a preview of my next small project. As usual, it took longer than expected but this was the first time where the entire learning (searching up solutions on the internet) process didn't feel so... stressful and draining. #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

For my final project, I want to challenge myself to change up the usual way of doing things: A.) tell a narrative via environmental storytelling instead of text, and B.) use a point-and-click system versus keyboard inputs. I have no knowledge of mouse inputs so I'm starting small #SmallGameStudio

Some early concepts about my game, Thought Process. Initially, it was intended to be more structured like a Breakout game. But after struggling with the coding, I left it as it is—randomly generated and messy... which in the end, made a lot more sense for the subject matter #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

I recently released Thought Process, a small artgame using simple arcade mechanics and reconfiguring them into a psychological context. This is built upon the knowledge I got trying to make my own version of Breakout. Check it on itch: seacabel.itch.io/thought-process #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

Don't know if this is too late to be useful, but I figured out how to change colors of (instantiated) objects between different scripts and objects! This was eating up a lot more time than I expected, but it felt GOOD to get over this roadblock. Running way behind, but I BELIEVE! #SmallGameStudio

I’m reflecting on the concept of “art games,” or at least defined by Ian Bogost and procedural rhetoric—put simply, expression through player interaction with mechanics versus visuals/sound/writing… The best example of this is Rod Humble’s The marriage. (1/3) #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

#SmallGameStudioArcade3 is starting up! Follow this thread below to check out some abstract, personal, artistic, etc. twists on well-known arcade classics and game concepts

Tried making a Breakout clone in Unity... and it took way longer than I expected. Things went wrong and it isn't pretty, but learned a lot through the process of making sure everything was functional. I'm kinda amazed that I can actually program such an established game #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

This weekend was the GDAC Game Jam, with the theme being UNISON! I worked on a quick Ren'Py project about a courtroom taking place in someone’s mind (think Inside Out), with the goal to push the posterization aesthetic I’ve been experimenting with. I think it went well! (1/2) #SmallGameStudio

Today is the release of my new project, Mirror Masses Millennia (MMM for short). It’s a haiku generator about me, you, and the universe. Check out the program on itch: seacabel.itch.io/mmm Also, please feel free to share your randomly generated poems with me! #SmallGameStudio #GameDev #MMM

If anyone’s looking for a free alternative to Photoshop / Clip Studio Paint, I highly recommend FireAlpaca64! It’s the program I’ve been using to make all of my art, icons, and banners for my games. I really like editing real life images with posterization, more below… #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

Wanted to make a branching story in Unity, but also wanted to find a way to reduce the "else-if train." So a programmer friend showed me the world of arrays. Seems like a neater way to store every line of dialogue, as a list of elements. Displaying the text is a whole other issue... #SmallGameStudio

We are starting up #SmallGameStudioArcade2! Follow this thread below to check out some cool text-based games from and some initial observations I have on them

Learning about programming / scripts in Unity right now, and I decided to make a quick Console Log game about... THE ALPACALYPSE! Every time you press ENTER, you have a 1/10 chance of meeting your demise by alpacas. Tracks your best survival streak and death count too! #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

Some concept art for my recent game, Eye/I! For me, it helps to map out game space on physical paper, and you can see my early layouts and ideas for objects in the environment. I never got to make that “Church Hall” though. But I think the final version said more with less. #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

I recently released Eye/I, a one-minute walking sim about a strange gathering of eyes, themed around my favorite color: BLUE. It’s an attempt to represent psychogeographical space. Concept doodles/sketches coming soon! Check out the game on itch: seacabel.itch.io/eye-i #SmallGameStudio #GameDev

the thing about gamedev (or any development really) is that there will always be a million ways that you could have done it better, and a million ways that your way is bad… but the point is that you actually ship something. perfection means it never gets done. so just make it! who cares how.

I learned the hard way about game dev organization. For most creative projects, I usually start with an outline detailing the themes, moments, and things (in this case, assets). What I failed to remember is that game dev is improvisational—working on the fly. (1/2) #SmallGameStudio

Played 7 Days to End with You, as recommended by @tysooob.bsky.social , and… now I’m sad. You’d think that the tedious nature of deciphering an unknown language would hinder its emotional resonance, but even without “completing” the word bank, the ending just left me to ruminate... #SmallGameStudio

Played 30 Flights of Loving with @szonetype.bsky.social! Very interesting that you can pick up bottles and ammo at the intro scene, with no effect to the story. BUT, this actually preps the player to interact with the environment when it DOES matter in the airport. #SmallGameStudioArcade1

Hello World! Started Unity last week and honestly... it's a bit daunting. So many settings and components to be aware of, especially when working on a 14" laptop screen. I've technically used Unity before, but never with the intention of making a full game, so I'm excited! (1/3) #SmallGameStudio
