Here's how we released 200+ games #gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #gamedesign p.s. it's my birthday in 2 weeks if you'd like to do something for the soon to be birthday boy nothing would make me happier than sharing this video on what I've been doing with my life so I can help more people ♥️

like all #gamedev I love crates. today I drew one by hand with a marker and was happy with how it turned out

doing the classic #gamedev trick of inverted normals for a volumetric light beam effect, ie. the tube only has an inside not an outside

As I was growing up, I thought I wanted to be many things: An inventor A magician An artist A musician An animator A writer Turns out, I didn't have to pick! I could be ALL of it. Gamedev is every bit of my dreams and so much more. I love this career!

The Unity 20th Anniversary Game Jam just started! TWENTY YEARS WITH UNITY? omg we're all getting OLD!!!!!! =) did you know it used to be mac-only? no pc version at first! JOIN HERE: itch.io/jam/unity-20...

made a new @itch.io collection: 165 indie games with my name in the credits!!! itch.io/c/6545206/ga... help! I may be addicted to game jamming

made a wormhole lightspeed effect in js today. =) I photoshopped a star picture into a ring-shaped transparent sprite, then in code draw eight copies at different scales based on the current time. whole thing is 25 lines of code yay

thinkycon - #gamedev talks on puzzly topics is streaming live right now through till nov 7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1mh...

had some fun today working on a classic "speed lines" particle effect for when you boost

Today I discovered the new "Unity Studio" which runs in a web browser. Beta test only, but looks really cool! Sign up with a #gamedev work email only (no gmail allowed) unity.com/campaign/uni...

today I drew a crow. also check out the eagle I drew a week ago. happy with how they turned out! =) (96x88 sprites made for a solitaire game called TALON, coded in typescript, release date: dec 14). #gamedev #pixelart

Games for Blind Gamers 5 is now open for sign ups! Join a community of hundreds of devs for our 5th annual game jam dedicated to blind accessibility in gaming! itch.io/jam/games-fo... #Accessibility #A11y

I'm proud to announce the start of the Quake Brutalist Jam 3, featuring a custom near total conversion mod www.slipseer.com/index.php?th...

I love adding critters to game worlds using a simple particle system so you can draw as many as you want with almost zero performance cost. Here are some fish that orient to a random velocity with noise; one draw call for all, no code, just a bunch of "sparks" really

it is such a joy to be able to work on an effect inspired by "the" classic win98 solitaire gameover screen!! might iterate next week and make them leave trails by not clearing the background like in the oldschool original #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #phaser #typescript

Here are the WINNERS of the #JS13K 2025 competition, congratulations! 🎉 1. CLAWSTRIKE 2. Cat Survivors 3. Witchcat Blog post: js13kgames.com/2025/blog/wi... Full results: js13kgames.com#winners #gamedev #gamedevjs #gamejam #indiedev #indiegames #JavaScript #HTML5

I love #godot multiMeshInstance3d which can spawn 150k grass meshes on my terrain and since it uses gpu instancing and only one node3d in the scene it's still 60fps+

Hey indie game devs! @takethis.org & @igdafoundation.org are teaming up to create the Indie Allies for Impact @itch.io bundle later this year, and we need your help. We're looking for games to include in the bundle. For more info & to submit your game, check out this form: tinyurl.com/iaibundle

just joined a cool new #gamedev project at devpods.gg - A SOLITAIRE GAME!!! we're coding it in #typescript using #phaser - I can't wait to show it to you all in december

beginners create complex things

#screenshotsaturday currently making an RPG in #godot at devpods.gg with some cool folks. graphic novel style, I'm drawing the textures on paper with markers and watercolour paint just for fun

gotta love a one-liner bugfix you came up with while lying in bed!!!! just happened to me. tried the fix this morning, BOOM everything works. thanks, subconscious mind!!! the entire day is a success already. what a rush I love coding so much. it makes me feel smart.

I love making games but hate telling people all about them blah blah blah wish I could just heads-down create in stealth mode forever

🎉 The 31st Annual #IFComp is live! 85 new interactive fiction entries are ready for you to play and judge. (You only need to rate 5 to cast a ballot!) Read more about this year's competition at blog.ifcomp.org Or just dive straight in: ifcomp.org/ballot

I've contributed to over 100 different game projects on github so far! github.com/McFunkypants so many happy memories! (and a few painful ones too lol) #gamedev

btw if you or someone you know is a beginner/intermediate gamedev having trouble finding friendly teammates we connect people in a flexible process to finish long-term projects together, freeware jam vibes but 2-6 month schedules. no genAI art etc, the whole purpose is for people to learn and collab

This bundle supports Game Devs of Color, a nonprofit organization that uplifts and amplifies game creators of color. itch.io/b/3171/game-...

today's #gamedev fun included adding "slash" lines to this html5 game - slowly the combat is getting juicier✨

today's #gamedev fun included starting work on a space level for an on-rails flying game featuring a witch on a broomstick. (black magic lets you breathe in space of course) work in progress with a lot more detail and gameplay to come (speed boosts, hazards like spinning lasers to dodge etc)

The #js13kgames competition is on! Tons of prizes (100 t-shirts!), no entry fee, the challenge is to make a game in only 13kb! This jam has been around for over a decade. Join the fun. I am one of the #gamedev judges. THIS YEAR'S THEME: "BLACK CAT" js13kgames.com/2025/prizes

today's #gamedev fun: hand-drawing a long flag, then coding a shader that wiggles mesh verts using a noise texture, scaled by how far right the vert UVs are (so it doesn't move on the flagpole side). making shaders in #godot is nice because the preview window updates as you code! love it

today's #gamedev fun: working on a random solar system generator for a strategy game we're making!

speed sculpt just for fun

having so much fun making textures from scratch for a godot game I'm working on. sometimes real-world art tools get results way faster than software or ai. imagine how long it would take to prompt for these exactly? or to do by hand with vectors or pixels? k.i.s.s. #gamedev #inktober warmup

#gamedev homebrew sound effect creation secrets! (today I created a melee combat sound library, various hit clangs/clashes and miss/arrow wooshes, and OOF chest punch hit sounds)

enjoying slowly sculpting a lowpoly medieval village "from scratch" (no prefabs!?!!? mmmmmm so refreshing) pushing and pulling faces oldschool style for an Unreal rpg we're making feels like playing with lego, fun and easy and grid-snapped like only lowpoly can be

inspired by the artist Moebius today I drew some lines on paper and turned them into textures for a godot project

used to post on socials many times a day. never felt alone. felt like being on a bus full of people with the same job as you. familiar faces. we're all going in the same direction. helped me feel like I was part of a school of fish swimming a stream of posts, friendly strangers pushing me forward

hey #gamedev friends be sure to catch the amazing #G4C2025 Games for Change Festival. celebrate games and devs that help make the world a better place using empathy and kindness and general awesomeness!!

Placeholder art is a myth!!!!!!!

modelled some "machiolations" for the first time! a new castle word I learned today: it's that row of little arches you often see on castle walls underneath the "battlements" which are parapets (low walls) with alternating "merlons" (high part) and "crenels" (low part)
