Some AI generated concept art exploring the Aetherpunk genre. I've been working on a text-based roleplaying web app and considering building around the Aetherpunk setting rather than simply medieval fantasy. Would love to hear some thoughts on this idea. #roleplay #aetherpunk #webapp #fantasy

Some more updates on the pen pal app. I decided to take this project in a totally new direction. However, this project is done. Not bad for a 3-week project and everything is working great. Here are some screenshots of the profile page, inbox, and search engine for the app #webdev #dotnet #reactjs

Just a little something I made playing around with web development and some CSS/JS tricks. Interesting quick project to make, but needs some work for mobile deployment. Code on my github: github.com/NautiGameDev... #webdev #newyears #nye #html

Working on a new project I'm genuinely excited about - first time in a while I've felt this connected to an idea. It's a gamified pen pal platform with some unique twists (more details to come). So far: login/registration + onboarding flow are complete. #dotnet #reactjs #webdev #indiedev #penpal

When you are at the end of your CS degree and you have to take a class you should have taken in the beginning. #programming #computerscience #devlife

Ok fine.. I'll learn javascript... Since I need to know it for aspnet and blazor anyway. Now I'm wondering how interesting of a game I can make with just primitive shapes and zero art assets... 🤔 #programming #javascript #htmlcanvas #dotnet

I posted a playthrough video of Six Cards Under on my YouTube channel to demonstrate a full run. The game can be played in the browser on itch: nauti312.itch.io/six-cards-un... #dungeoncrawler #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #retrogame #gamejam #itch www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPg9...

Just discovered there was a dungeon crawler game jam last month and one of the themes was mixing genres.... Six Cards Under would have been absolutely PERFECT for that game jam.. 😑 Sigh.... next year... #dcjam2025 #dungeoncrawler #dungeoncrawlerjam2025

Here's a look at the final product of "Six Cards Under" submitted for Pixel Game Jam 2025. Playable in the browser on itch.io. Pick six cards to build your deck, then descend into an endless dungeon. Play here: nauti312.itch.io/six-cards-un... #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam #dungeoncrawler

Pixel Game Jam 2025 submission "Six Cards Under" A retro dungeon crawler mixed with deck building mechanics. Completely playable in the browser. Can't wait to hear some feedback on the game. #gamejam #indiedev #csharp #dotnet #aspnet #blazor

In the last two days of the Pixel Game Jam. Here's a preview of "Six Cards Under" so far. Working on the menus now, then just need to add audio and a LOT of polishing. #gamejam #aspnet #dotnet #indiedev #gamedev #csharp

Progress on the Pixel Art Game Jam so far. ✅Raycast rendering ✅Player controls ✅Card drawing/casting ✅Player UI ❌Enemy AI ❌Dungeon generation ❌Deck Building ❌Interactables Feeling pretty good about the game so far. Once the foundation is done, scaling will be easy. #gamejam #dotnet #indiedev

I'll be participating in the Pixel Game Jam! Good luck to everyone else participating. I'm not burned out this time so I'll for sure be posting a game (As long as I don't over-scope my project) #gamejam #gamedev #pixelart

Maybe I'm just a masochist? #gamedev #indiedev #programming

Some more "Doom clone" testing in Blazor WASM. 1. Discovered I can make a Winforms app to run Blazor apps without a local server. 2. Added some basic textures with transparent rectangles overlay to create depth. Still can't figure out complex textures 🙄 #dotnet #blazor #csharp #gamedev #indiedev

Took a break from my Blackjack project to learn how to make a raycasting FPS in Blazor WASM. Accidently created a rave... #gamedev #programming #csharp #indiedev #blazor #dotnet

When you spend 3 hours refactoring your code without testing anything and it works first try #programming #dotnet #gamedev #indiedev #csharp

Next Blazor WASM project in the works. Combining Blackjack with TCG elements. The face cards have abilities that impact Blackjack gameplay (Still to be programmed). Current state of the game: Basic Blackjack game is done. #dotnet #csharp #webassembly #webgame #indiedev #blazor

My Speak E.Z. Slots game is up and running on itch.io! Go check it out! Unfortunately, this isn't playable on mobile since the game depends on keyboard input to play. Maybe the next slot machine game I make will be more mobile friendly. I have some ideas. #gamedev #itchio #indiedev #dotnet #csharp

I came back from a week trip to Las Vegas and felt inspired. So, I made a slot machine in Blazor WebAssembly. A few more finishing touches and I'll upload it to itch.io (Reposting with a better frame rate) #dotnet #csharp #lasvegas #gamedev #aspnet

Sporeshade here was inspired by Teemo in League of Legends. He puts mushroom stacks on target creatures that turn into poison stacks when he leaves the battlefield. Then I realized the synergy he will have with Gloomfang's passive ability. I'll balance it later... #tcg #ccg #pokemon #monstertaming

I've been brainstorming a monster taming game lately then suddenly got the idea to make a TCG instead. So far, I like the concept, but it still needs testing. Here are 4 cards I've designed so far. The card template is from an asset pack, and art is done by AI. #tcg #ccg #monstertaming #pokemon

I've been learning some ASP.NET past couple of weeks. Decided to make a small game with Blazor WASM. So far not too bad for a browser game project. Now to decide where I want to take this project... #dotnet #blazor #browsergame #webassembly #webgame #indiedev

Too addicted to Civ 6 to notice the time. #gaming #strategygames #videogames

I'm kicking around the idea of a boss rush auto chess game like TFT for the upcoming boss rush game jam. But obviously instead of 8-player pvp, it would be pve focused on bosses. Would love to hear some thoughts on this idea.. #gamedev #unity #indiegames

Programming with Java is just like buying furniture from Ikea. Assembly required before I can do anything with it. #programming

Project management app (GetSetTask) is finally done and I'm pretty happy with it for a small project. First project I made with the WPF framework. Source code and download can be found on my GitHub repository: github.com/NautiGameDev... #csharp #dotnet #softwaredev #programming

How to handle exceptions properly: #dotnet #csharp #devlife #programming try { //Entire program logic } catch (Exception e) {

Pretty cool calculator though... #artificialintelligence #ai

Project management APP I've been working on the past few days. First APP I've made in WPF. Still have some minor tweaks but should be done by the weekend I hope. Not the best at front-end development but I try. #dotnet #dotnetdev #csharp #programmerlife #codinglife #fullstack

Growing up in the 90s: "Don't sit too close to the TV it's bad for your eyes." Modern day Walmart: "We have 55" gaming monitors for your PC." #videogames #gamerlife

If only I had a project management program to help manage the project of building a project manager program, then I could efficiently manage the project like a professional project manager. #dotnet #csharp #devlife

I mean... video game dev instead of AI/ML but... it's true... #gamedev

Everytime I come up with a cool name for an app it’s already taken 🤬🤬 #devlife #dotnet #csharp

I wonder how many relationships Facebook has destroyed because some poor guy didn't like his girlfriend's photo, and it was only because the algorithm didn't show it to him. 🤔

I've been putting less focus on politics lately and more focus on programming and learning the .NET stack, and I gotta admit... life has been pretty cozy. #devlife #dotnet #programming

Anyone have some suggestions for some .NET portfolio projects for a college student? #dotnet #backenddev #dotnetdev #coderlife

I could be wrong but I don't see AI crashing the workforce anytime soon, if ever. It's just a tool like any other tech we've developed in history. Might displace some jobs but in the end, the economy fixes itself and the world keeps spinning.
