The most frustrating thing about #balatro, and the reason I keep coming back I think, is that I can't tell if I'm terrible at playing it or it's just the luck of the cards!

I've decided to reboot development of my HTML/JS game in Godot and will be starting again from scratch essentially. What do I need to know for making this work across Windows, Linux and Web?

How does everyone deal with random ideas popping into their heads? Do you keep a doc, make notes, use post-its, put them on a kanban, what? And then how do those ideas make it from there to a development stage? #gamedev #indiedev #writing #novels #author #books

I recently completed #ReturnToMonkeyIsland and I have to say I thoroughly loved every second of it and it hit me in the feels at the end. Such a fantastic game and you can very clearly feel the love that went into it. Thank you so much @grumpygamer.com and everyone at @terribletoybox.com ❤️

@visitthecave.bsky.social Do you think, once the workshop build is done (loving it btw), that you might do more videos on making games using Blitz Basic or possibly AMOS? That was a great vid (they all are tbh) and was quite inspiring.

I made a key change to Gor's Tale this week, swapping out the static map with waypoints to tilemap based maps you can navigate and explore, paving the way for more random interactions and story progression. #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Work and family time doesn't leave much room for #gamedev! Still I adjusted the game resolution to improve map pan/zoom functions and now have a little sprite of Gor's head as the current location marker 😁 #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Hit a tougher part of development- working out the map scene with waypoints. I have the logic pretty much in place and can toggle through destinations. Still more work to do, but it's good progress! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Had a few days away from the project and have some interesting ideas to flesh out the gameplay. I will see what I can implement over the next couple of weeks. Would love to post some gameplay video soon! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

More progress tonight. Whilst building the combat scene I decided to go back and make QoL improvements to save headaches later. Text boxes are more dynamic now! I also did some graphics updates to the title! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Important progress tonight. In the guts of the combat logic now. Added dice rolls for hit and damage. Enhanced the dice function to include crit checks too! 🎲 ⚔️ Had to force myself to stop and go to bed! 🤣 #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Further progress! I've created scene transition functions for a lovely fade out and fade in. I'm aiming to tweak it to give that cool palette swap fade effect on 8bit consoles. #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #dev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

More progress tonight 😁 Getting the beginning of the combat scene built and creating a function to draw #PhantasyStar inspired text boxes! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #games #gaming #phaserjs #html5

Decided to join the indie game dev ranks here on BlueSky. Hey folks 👋 #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev #phaserjs #html5
