All this discourse over the Mario Galaxy movie and no one's asking the real question: does the movie have dirty crack house vibes?

So, now that I've switched distros, let's see if I can post the memes I made when I beat @spacelizard.dev's The Reconstruction a few months back. (Spoilers in the replies)

Got my SDL project working on Linux, so here's some footage that I took back when I was running it on Windows. #indiedev #gamedev #sdl #sdl3

Okay... I did have an image post ready to celebrate my making the switch to Linux Mint, but it looks like the image I had won't display properly.

I've thought about it for a while, but now I'm seriously considering switching to Linux, now that everything's running worse on my Windows laptop.

Here are some fairly low-effort memes for the approximately 12 of you that have played @spacelizard.dev's The Reconstruction.

Oh yeah, I'm still working on my roguelike. Just tweaked the save system and added an intro scroll #indiedev #gamedev #Love2D

Have you ever translated an English-language writeup of a French-language comic into Portuguese? I have. Boy, I sure do love playing linguistic telephone.

Added some more mechanics to my roguelike. #indiedev #gamedev #Love2D

Como um experimente, eu decidi a tentar traduzir alguns páginas no meu blog em português. Aqui é uma delas, sobre Dragoon Entertainment, um desenvolvador canadense dos RPGs indies. Eu quero ver se houver áreas donde eu posso melhorar.

Just dug up an old project made with Love2D. I was planning on making it a roguelike, so I added a function that randomly generates dungeon floors properly, complete with a minimap. #indiedev #gamedev #Love2D

Made a few changes to the update from a week ago, and added Mac and Linux versions. #indiedev #gamedev #madeingodot kelphas.itch.io/trial-of-the...

Have a look at the new, improved patterns for the stage 1 boss. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgodot

So I gave Trial Of The Hierarch another test playthrough, and it looks like a couple of other mechanics still need to be tweaked. I'm considering making it playable on browser, but I would like to get feedback from other players. #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgodot

New update for my shmup! I thought that some vital mechanics could use a rehauling. #gamedev #madeingodot #GodotEngine kelphas.itch.io/trial-of-the...

Heard what's happening with IA. I feel now's the best time to say that I've been seriously considering uploading Dragoon Entertainment's early games (The Demon Rush, Skylight 1 and 2) over there.

Since I evidently have Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to terrible indie RPGs, I'm playing through a turn-based strategy game by the maker of Skylight Free-range and The Demon Rush.

I just finished this indie RPG that can only be downloaded through the Wayback Machine. Ever heard of The Demon Rush? It's by the same guy, and it's just as bad.

Just added shot types to the game! Now it's even more like my first shmup! #gamedev #godot

Just decompiled an infamously shoddy indie RPG from 2008, and found enough else-ifs and redundancies to make YandereDev blush. In a few ways, it reminds me of my first Game Maker project. Still not sure why this game uses up five times as much RAM as its file size.

In light of recent events, I've started playing this game called Liberal Crime Squad, a simulation/roguelike by the maker of Dwarf Fortress. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at either genre, so my latest run ended very poorly.

Just updated the shmup I was making, now with reworked mechanics and rebalanced bosses and enemy patterns! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Just tested out stage 1. Looks like there's something up with the end-of-stage bonus calculation, though. #indiedev #godot

Testing stage 2 right now.. #indiedev #GodotEngine

Windows 11's video player just took 5 minutes to load a 1-minute long video that I edited. Oh, the wonders of technology.

Can anyone explain why Godot is suddenly asking me to reinstall the tablet software?

Testing stage 2 right now. Looks like there are still too many cheap shots for a player's liking. #indiedev #GodotEngine

Looks like the stage 2 theme is only around half done. About time I finish it.

I think I'm done with polishing the stage 1 theme. Now to see what I can do about the boss theme.

Regarding the soundtrack for my game: I feel adding a key shift to the main melody for the stage 1 theme might help, even if no change is made to the backing instruments.

I recently started playing Persona 5, a game known for its subtle social commentary.

Just organized the stage 2 enemy spawns. Now let's see what I can do about their movement patterns. #indiedev

So I started replaying one of the games that inspired the shmup I'm making, and I'm doing a lot better than I thought I would.

TIL that Steam counts time spent booting up the game as part of the time spent playing.

Just checked out some Youtube Playables. Wondering how mobile devs can be this shameless.

Just installed Kompozer. Any idea on how to get CSS to show properly there?

Reworked the subweapons. Maybe I should add some visual events to when they hit enemies. #indiedev #gamedev

Stage 1 enemy placements are all set, now I think I may have to re-rework the scoring system #indiedev #gamedev

Got pretty close to no-missing stage 1 of my own game while testing. Just goes to show what it's like making a game in a genre you're not good at.

Alright, the smart bomb pickup is properly implemented. #indiedev #gamedev

I think I have the smart bomb pickup implemented, now to playtest it. #indiedev #gamedev

Speaking of memes and stuff that was once on Google Play, here are a couple more for this European comic I read over there a while back.

And speaking of, I have a section on my personal site dedicated to my playthroughs of each of his games (that are still playable, that is). All fifteen of them, by my count. curate-of-the-curious.neocities.org/features/tco...

Now that @alorafane.bsky.social, the person who inspired me to get into game dev, has joined this platform, I would like to share this meme I made inspired by Taming Dreams, the mobile game he made that you can't play anymore.

You know what, I'm thinking of adding a bomb pickup like a normal shmup. #indiedev #gamedev

Updated the ingot model, and gave the score effects a minor visual facelift. #indiedev #GodotEngine

I think I might have to rework a certain scoring mechanic. This hopefully shouldn't take too long to implement. #indiedev #gamedev

Testing out the new stage 1 patterns. #MadeWithGodot

Got the IA video embeds working! Who would have guessed that the Wayback Machine would have the IA's help pages on file?
