It was nice meeting you at Comic Con, and thanks for chatting with us! #gamedev #indiegame #ottawa #SkyPyre

In my game, you play as a 🐦birb. You've got a wacky beak that can be used like a springboard to launch around levels. Not persuaded yet? There's also an 🐘elephant with a wacky trunk that can grab things. Still not convinced? How about 75% off? store.steampowered.com/app/2696660/... 🎮 #gamedev

We created a page for the game we are working on, you can hear some of my music and sfx in this clip 🌞 We will be sharing more snippets and updates as we go so come along

Trying out some low poly modelling with low resolution texturing. My first experience in Blockbench. Even if it is missing functionality that Blender has, I found it more fun. I think the limitations help with establishing a style! #3dmodelling #pixelart #lowpoly

We first released Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, on Gear VR, over 10(!!) years ago 😳 The big launch was on PC/Rift, which will turn 10 early next month. Should probably get a cake or something.

This Thursday!

I've been working on custom client authoritative movement AND abilities. The client pawn is using two abilities; a jump and then a "pounce". Net simulation is "bad" (100-200 ping with 5% loss). The client appears smooth on the server and gives a great experience for the player. #UE5 #gamedev

Hey #gamedev, add accessibility options and button customization. It gives people options to play the way that's best/most expressive for them. It was a pita to make them but I'm glad I did, and so is this lovely reviewer.

I was a mentor for Virtual Ventures the last couple of weeks and had a blast talking to everyone about gamedev! I hope everyone enjoyed the stickers 😊

When you are a solo dev, you gotta do a bunch of different things like capsule art. You need it fast, so you'll frantically make something. Then you'll maybe have time to redo it a year later. Anyways, here's what that looks like (newer first) #indiegame #gamedev #art #steam #originalcharacter

Just finished the first draft of the new area for Kiopioke DLC. Here's what it looks like zoomed out. Gonna clean up the character and then do some friends and family testing. Trying to contain my hype. #indiedev #gamedev #unreal

I wrote this almost a year ago just prior to the release of my game. It describes how I developed the main mechanic for Kiopioke. TLDR: I elaborated on the Pokio character from Mario Odyssey and made a full game. #indiegame #mario #gamedev store.steampowered.com/news/app/269...

Spent some time this morning adding a 'temp rifle' which will be the base for all future weapons in #altfire. Every weapon will initially start with this mesh, and once its mechanics are settled it'll get swapped for its own custom one. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #fps #ue5 #screenshotsaturday
