I'll always be impressed with how good and powerful Excel is as a piece of software and how terrible almost every other Microsoft product has become over the years. (Glares at Outlook)

Software patents will always be incredibly dumb.

Make sure to talk to the people important to you while you still can, you never know when they'll be gone. Advice you hear often but don't think much about till it's too late Welp, after a little hiatus, I'll be back to posting some game dev related stuff Till then here's a cool album I inherited

The exhibitor list for Vancouver Game Garden 2025 is now live!! 🎮🌱 More than 40 different indie studios will be showcasing their games at this year's event, including games such as 1000xRESIST, Peglin, Beastieball, and many more! ✨ Check out the full list here: vangamegarden.com/exhibitors

Finished reading Jurassic Park for the first time. Great book, Ian Malcolm's rants near the end feels super relevant today in its messaging. With the rise of vibe coding, gen-AI, etc, untrained skills and power sold like a Saturday night special. Sadly, we don't at least get dinosaurs. #booksky

Final Fantasy III is absolute cinema. #gamesky #games #finalfantasy

It has begun! On to starting my Final Fantasy III journey. Not really sure what to expect, this one I’ve heard nothing about (other than sharing the name Final Fantasy III NA version aka VI) lol Was able to track down the retconned names, I think? #gamesky #rpg #games #finalfantasy

Finished my playthrough of Final Fantasy II. I actually enjoyed it, even though it was a little rough at times lol. So many dungeon dead ends, and while the password system was a nice add, it was sort of under utilized. Wish they added more to it lol still a fun play #games #rpgs #finalfantasy

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday ! I’ve been updating which assets to use for my game’s environment. I think it’s beginning to actually look pretty good! Next up to work on adding something to attack, be attacked by lol #UnrealEngine #Gamedev #IndieDev #Games #IndieGames

🔥Hot take: Final Fantasy II isn't a bad game. ❗ I've been playing the Pixel Remaster version (which has a few QOL improvements) and I've been having a great time! It suffers from trying to do too many new things at once (progression, password system) but think it's cool they tried new things 😀

Just beat Final Fantasy I for the first time ever! I’ve played it a bunch on and off in the past but never actually to completion. (And to platinum trophy as well lol) Was really fun for what it was and now into Final Fantasy II, a game I’ve never touched! 😅 #gamesky #rpg #games

What got you started on the path towards making games my game dev friends? For me it was StarEdit / StarCraft Campaign Editor. The Trigger system was just complex enough to do whatever I needed without it becoming overwhelming for my 10 year old mind. 😅

Oh man, RIP Legend 🎺 Chuck Mangione was one of my favorite recurring characters on King of the Hill. "Feels so good" transports me back www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFqp...

It's my birthday today so I thought I'd make a recap of all the #gamedev I did since last year. Also I heard I get to wish for reposts today?😶‍🌫️ Backing track is new music I made for the game. #solodev #horrorgame #indiedev

Goooood morning yall! ☀️ Got my crafting system working, at least in the most basic sense, onto making it so you can equip tools / weapons next. Then maybe making the UI not incredibly ugly so I can share it haha Anyone else got some gamedev plans for today? 😊 #gamedev #indiedev

Working on a crafting system in my Unreal Project and looking for some inspiration / examples ... What game has your favorite Crafting system? 😀 Do you have a preference for knowing the recipe, learning them, or it all being a mystery until you attempt it?? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

🥵It's super hot outside so another game dev day working on my Unreal Project Added Ragdolling on death! (or debug key pressed) Now my character at least can enjoy the nice blue waters on this scorcher JUMP ON IN! 😅 #indiegame #gamedev #UnrealEngine

How many of you remember the Tonka PC games? My brother and I used to played the hell out of them when we were kids. Specially Tonka construction. I’ve been looking for abandonware games from my childhood to pass onto my son, they seem to still have all their charm!

Working on my weird little survivor game in Unreal today. It's been fun getting more experience using the tools that more or less come out of the box. My den / office with zero air flow is too warm and the water is way too inviting, it's not fair lol #indiegames #gamedev #indiedevs #unrealengine

My version of vibe coding is having some hibiscus tea with episodes of Smallville on the second screen while I get some puzzles implemented. Clearly peak way of getting more familiar with Unreal Engine. I don’t need AI to create a bunch of tech debt for me, I can do that myself lol #gamedev

Only got 3 hours of sleep last night but surprisingly I have a bit of energy to work on one of my Godot projects... not going to question it lol Looking into some shader work and GridMaps! First time fiddling with 3D in Godot land.

Some turn-based games I love ❤️

Enjoying my first Father’s Day with my little guy. We’ve been up together since 3am, watching a Metal Gear Solid play through and napping lol Happy Father’s Day yall 💜

💜 Happy Friday the 13th 💜 Time to watch Jason do his thing. What are your favourite horror films / movies to watch? 💀

Also joined the major distraction that is Mario Kart World lol The super close calls make up for getting Mario karted all the time Alright back to some game dev work.

Question for my Godot game devs ⁉️ What are your must have plugins / assets? The ones you tend to add to your projects always. I’m still new to Godot land and looking for a few recommendations. At the moment the dialogue manager 3 is one of mine 😅 #gamedev #godot

When you’re trying to contact customer support for a broken product under warranty and you’re greeted with chat gpt like responses until radio silence with no other working way to get through. This is the future… now!

It is important to recognize that a homophobic bigot decided to take this man’s life. This talent is gone because of unjustified and irrational hatred. Rest In Peace, Jonathan, and know your legacy is carried with love. May the world change for the better, with peace for all.

Happy pride month y’all 🏳️‍🌈

Started my own 30 day game jam Rules are to just work on whenever I can this month, when I’m not on baby duty or taking hundreds of pictures of him while he sleeps I’ll get about the same total hours in as a weekend long jam lol Let the sleep deprived new parent game jam begin Current mood board

Question for yall. When starting a game with the option to choose the names for your characters (and other things) do you leave them as the defaults? Does it change if it’s the first play thru? Or different genres? (Stardew vs final fantasy)

I’m giving away 25 free keys to my new 8-Bit Moss Temple Pack! 🤗 Drop a Like and RT so other #gamedev folks can grab it too! 🥰 Link: elvgames.itch.io/8x8-moss-tem... #indiedev | #rpgmaker | #unity

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first 4 characters you know. openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... Looks like my top 4 are: Jules, Iroh, Guinan, and Dr. Maguire. I’d enjoy hanging out with this group 😀

Regularly on baby duty while he naps super early in the mornin, I’ve had a good amount of time to play and finish some games! I’ve beaten both Blue Prince and Expedition 33 and both are great games in their own rights. I recommend both and try to go in blind. Hopefully 2025 has some more bangers.

Haven’t been active on here, or even on my PC in general. But I’m finally finding some time to work on game dev again. It just might be at 4am in between giving the baby his bottle and getting him to have another 60min nap lol Now to watch some low poly blender tutorials while rocking a fussy kid

Been off of social media and game dev for the past week and a bit due to being in the hospital with the wife. But now I have a new title! Dad 😊 Goodbye sleep for a little while lol

Hey maybe a #FollowFriday ⁉️ Curating lists of game devs working on their projects into these 3 Starter Packs! Give them a follow to support and watch their game dev journey! go.bsky.app/84vQwvP go.bsky.app/NeSLvGd go.bsky.app/HDP32wx Still some room in one if you'd like to join to 💜

The rumors from the 90s are true! The legendary Pokemon, Pikablu!

4 Nights worth at about 90min (6 hours total) each of working on my Vampire Survivor Clone. Been learning a bunch of stuff with Godot, so it's been helpful! 💜Follow: twitch.tv/superstuguy #screenshotsunday #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indiegames #gamedevelopment #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine

Doing another game dev stream right now! More work on my JRPG, Bound in Time, made in Godot! Stop on by and say hi! 💜 www.twitch.tv/superstuguy 💜

This weekend, I hope to do a bunch of game dev work on Bound in Time. Since I'm an uncreative hack, I want to have a lot of nods to Time Travel in pop culture, both in the story and puzzles but mostly just for the fun of it. 💜 So what is your favorite examples of Time Travel ? 🕑 #gamedev #indiedev

What’s this? A Farm for ants? #severance

Once again, I am asking for #gdc to be moved to Canada.

So hot take, Die another day is a fun bond movie.

⁉️Productive Game Dev stream tonight ⁉️ My Earthbound inspired Time travel game's battle system is coming along and now it finally has a world to explore! If you want to watch me work on my JRPG follow me on Twitch 💜 www.twitch.tv/superstuguy 💜 #ScreenshotSaturday #ScreenshotSunday #godot #indiedev

A Samurai Pizza Cats game in the style of the Canadian Dub is not something I knew I needed but I really need. My first anime! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayAj...
