In preparation for Steam Next Fest in June we now have a gameplay trailer for KaijuStory!!! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZrj... #multiplayer #indie #kaiju #indiedev #strategy #gamedev

R.I.P. @remedygames.com. You were one of my favorite studios. I guess all good things must come to an end 💙

THE GAME IS OUT, I REPEAT, THE GAME IS OUT Hopefully I squashed all the bugs, hope everyone enjoys it! store.steampowered.com/app/2980260/...

WHEN #BLOODLINES2 WON ME OVER: I won over everyone in dialogue and Fabien comments on it when you go to bed on your Second Night. And I had the option to say, "Yeah, I'm just manipulating everyone. I don't really give a shit." And Fabien was like, "Duh, you're a Toreador." @outstar.bsky.social

5/5 Kaijus would stomp humans again 🦖

⛓ She is hellbound. Follow her, for we have such sights to show you... Introducing Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival! A single-player horror experience like no other, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Wishlist now at hellraisergame.com

spreading my attention across several things at once to make no progress on any of them at maximum efficiency

Some of y'all are gonna think I've gone completely nuts, but I'm gonna talk about rounded corners and why circles suck. Most devs take it for granted that rounded corners are circles. Spoiler: They don't have to be! There is a much more aesthetically pleasing and cheaper alternative. 🧵👇 #gamedev

Today we release a Singleplayer mode for KaijuStory!!! Practice and get a feel for the game using this new mode before challenging other players to battle! #indiedev #ue5 #solodev kranbert.itch.io/kaijustory/d...

what the fuck goin on at google 😭

I will release Without a Dawn on Steam in 9 hours! I've been getting nothing but positive vibes from everyone. Thank you so much for your friendly support! 💚💛 store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Oh, it's also my birthday! 🥳 #visualnovel #gamedev #indiegame #steam

Alright fine. I'll learn Godot.

RNG is a feature not a bug #gamedev

So Unity recently decided that the tiny startup I dayjob for needed to upgrade to Industry at 5k/year/seat. We had no chance to contest it because they would have killed our only product. They even threatened people we worked with in the past with the same. It's not just us. DO NOT USE UNITY!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you can't imagine someone who looks differently than you as a main character, then you suck at imagining. #writing #gamedev #indiedev #videogames

First rule of combat - don't get yourself surrounded 🤦 #indiegame #pixelart #GodotEngine #turnbased #RPG

HALT! You must share details about your current project! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #rpg #jrpg #godot #rpgmaker #unity

imo if you want to actually finish a game you should use a pre-built engine like godot. making assets and implementing all the specific stuff takes long enough as it is, this is coming from someone who wrote multiple engines from scratch before finally agreeing to use godot instead

I played this for hours one weekend, really fun "battleship-like chess-lite" kinda game ya feel me

A little over three weeks until I release this beautiful, unique horror visual novel! I could use your help getting more wishlists for the Steam algorithm to kick in: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you so much for your help! 🤗 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #steam

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is working out really well without Ubisoft direction, huh? I think of David Bowie: "never work for other people at what you do."

One day I plan out the next two months of stuff on my game, trying to estimate it conservatively. Then I check off half the list in a couple of days. Something's wrong with my brain lol #gamedev

I'm reaching the part of the #gamedev cycle where I can start infusing my game with some designs and make it come alive. I'm excited. I want to start showing the game more, but I don't want to show off a bunch of placeholder assets! 🙄 The systems are fun though:

Today we release the first playable version of our game KaijuStory!!! It's a multiplayer turnbased strategy game including giant monsters and mind games kranbert.itch.io/kaijustory #gamedev #UE5 #kaiju #turnbased #strategy

I just got Hades 2 and InZOI, the duality of man

Godot 4.4 was a massive success, and with most users migrating to it, we discovered and fixed a number of significant bugs which warrant a first maintenance release. So here's #GodotEngine 4.4.1, with over 100 bug fixes to improve your daily Godot experience! godotengine.org/article/main...

rebuilding core systems of my game have felt like going back to square one, but im digging myself out ⚠️ i even thought my project had corrupted but it magically worked after updating to Godot 4.4 keep moving one small brick at a time and don't look back 👀 #indiedev

Xoe ♥️ from my #gamedev character notes

i had a bad day, and i had a good day. time is a flat circle

my best #indiedev advice is to *always* tinker on something that excites you, even just a little it's easy to pressure yourself to finish X thing first, turning it into a job. you need to make progress, but something excites you for a reason - listen to that. real ones know progress comes with fun

How to greatly reduce the build size of a #Godot game: popcar.bearblog.dev/how-to-minif... #GodotEngine #GodotTip

how to #gamedev 1. find edge case 2. it breaks your idea 3. rethink & refactor 4. "wow can't believe i've solved this for good now" 5. repeat cycle

it's been so long since i saw one of these, i didn't know how to operate it send help #arcade

Obligatory reminder to love the writers and artists that work on the game you’re making! Art and literature makes the world go round! #vndev #indiegamedev #gamedev

When I was young I’d procrastinate chores to play games.. Now I procrastinate work to make games.. I haven’t changed much. #gamedev #indiedev

My videogame concept trailer is finally done. Gonna post it on monday. Six months of work fit into one minute. Come take a look! #concept #trailer #gamedev #3d

Always trying to market my game on Tiktok but also posting stuff about Godot and game dev. I made this little video for the release of Godot 4.4 🤭 #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #GodotEngine

Want to try Godot 4.4, but I'm traveling and won't be back until weekend, ugh

You are currently creating someones future favorite #indiegame - so don't give up and finish it! #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegames

Wow, they copied what I was doing in my #ai sideproject a month ago, lol Different method of implementation but exactly the same idea I'll say it again, all you need is structure, noise, and legos :) arstechnica.com/ai/2025/02/n...

Getting this has been long overdue. I don't play it myself, but I love the Vampire the Masquerade world (of darkness). I sometimes write vampire stories on the DL, and this stuff is just pure gold for immersion #vtm #writing

I don't *really* know what my game is going to be yet, even with all the notes & early work I've put into it, and that's a great thing! The goal is to make something new, that changes as I change... something worth the time it takes to make it. #gamedev

I like to have a good time on here before the us wakes up, after that it's basically a horrorshow

After a couple weeks deep dive into "AI Coding" youtube, I am starting to suspect that all these people don't actually care about coding and just trying to sell me things. 😬

Thinking about when I demoed To a T in December. I turned to Keita Takahashi and said that I love that he's so committed to making oddball games that go off the beaten path and asked what draws him to that philosophy. He looked at me very sadly and said "I was trying to make a normal one this time."

Luna, from my #gamedev character notes ❄️

i promised not to scope creep, but i swear i have a system #gamedev 👀

🍳♨️

wait is this even legal?
