I wanna watch the Artemis landing on this.

Me: “I write stories.” Also me: “I design how you emotionally experience those stories.” Player: “…oh.” 😭✨ #NarrativeDesign #GameWriting #GameDev #Storytelling

My good friend @labhaoise.bsky.social gave Finn a playthrough on her stream, and well... it broke her😊 I made this game to explore grief, so seeing it land like this means everything to me! www.twitch.tv/labhaoise/cl... Play Finn here: b3ardsy.itch.io/finn #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev

Smoked turkey was a success! Ribs still in the oven 🤤

🦖Prehistoric Panic🦖 is now live on my Itch page! It's a simple arcade game where the sky is falling, and you need to survive waves of incoming meteors! ☄️ b3ardsy.itch.io/prehistoric-... #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct #Porfolio #Arcade

🥳Finn is now live on my Itch.io page! 🥳 Still more updates and polish to come over the next 2 weeks, but I wanted to get it out there - I really hope you enjoy it! b3ardsy.itch.io/finn #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

Finn update: Playable next week! It’s not perfect, but that was never the goal. I wanted to make something that leaves an emotional impact more than anything else, and based off early feedback, I think I nailed it. #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

Finn Update: Everything broke (deep breaths) So here's a quick sidebar while I fix that: Our digital drawing class has been pretty fun! I've sketched out Samus, applied grayscale, and now I'm onto colorizing/painting next! #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #photoshop

Finn Update: First pass on the level and art design of Zone 1 is nearing completion! Hoping to finish the remaining two zones this week so I can start fine-tuning the mechanics, narrative, and sound design! #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

Finn is now in pre-alpha, and my prof's LOVED IT! Still need to sort out collisions a bit (a lot) more, but the mechanics and story-beats are there! Once the bugs are resolved, we're moving onto level design! #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

Finn is a 2D narrative action platformer built in Construct. While still a school project, it’s grown into a deeply personal story about losing my cat Finn, and how grief shapes and changes us. Below is a snippet of a memory you can unlock 🥹 #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

*SCREAMING* I FIGURED OUT INTERACTABLE OBJECTS AND DIALOGUE TODAY!!!! Probably not the most 'ideal' way of doing it, BUT IT WORKS! 🥳 *SCREAMING INTENSIFIES* #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

LET THERE BE LIGHT! My Construct 3 game, Finn, is coming along nicely! Just a few more mechanics to wrangle in before moving onto art and sound design. 😊 (Reposting because I doxed myself in the OG video - whoops) #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #Construct

It's done. It's submitted. But it's nice to reflect on the (~4 weeks?) of progress! #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #illustrator

The Wii truly did love us didn’t it?

Highlights of Week 2! - Modeled a barrel in 3DS max (REALLY enjoying this program) - Mario is colorized and awaiting gradients! - Board Game Pitch deck is complete! Needs review - Finalizing the INTERLOPERS logo but need to sketch out a few more! #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #illustrator

We picked up Illustrator today and will be tracing and colourizing popular Nintendo characters. Thankfully I have a bit of experience with this so I feel right at home. 😊 #GameDev #GameArt #GameDesign #IndieDev #illustrator

Again, it could be better, but let's fucking go! First 100% of the term! #3dsMax #3DModeling #3DArt #GameArt #GameDev #IndieDev

Alright, alright. Chamfer settings were a big help! #3dsMax #3DModeling #3DArt #GameArt #GameDev #IndieDev

"Modelling is easy" I THINK NOT! (But it feels great when it comes together!) #3dsMax #3DModeling #3DArt #GameArt #GameDev #IndieDev

First day of game school is officially in the books 🎮 We’re starting with the fundamentals; first assignment is building a simple webpage with HTML. It ain't pretty, but it works! #gamedev #indiedev #webdev #learninpublic

Today’s progress on Ether becoming a reality: ✅ Turn-based combat ✅ Party + enemies on screen ✅ UI doing UI things Following a tutorial, learning a ton, and having a blast building this. Need to remind myself to “Make it function first, THEN make it pretty” #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

In just 1 week, I start game dev school! Wild how fast life can pivot, but I’m excited, motivated, and ready to build💪

C'mon Mass Effect gameplay, come on!!!! #thegameawards

*taps mic* Turns out getting laid off and reinventing your whole life takes a minute 😅 I'm excited to share that I've been accepted into a video game design and development program starting in Jan! I’ll be using this account to document the journey, so stick around! #Indie #indiedev #gamedev

With all do respect, sorry, but what the fuck!?

Visiting my parents and listening to their music…

I think I'll boot up a new Bsky account solely for game-dev updates - But today I finally figured out how to create looping hallways, similar to PT / Silent Hills!! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #indie #horror

Anyone want to come over and watch Midnight Mass in one sitting? Bonus points if it's your first time! 🥺 👉 👈

Asked for a coaster, bartender did this: not even mad 🤣

After a week of building, scrapping, restarting, tinkering, and a couple shed-tears, I finally have a working prototype of my megaman clone! Gunna take a pause on this course and pivot to 2D/3D hybrid RPGs next! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

Spent four hours trying to find brightness settings for my tiles, but we have a background and functional tilemap now!

Absolutely; a mandatory watch!

After restarting the course for the 3rd (THIRD) time, I'm finally happy with my PlayerChar. Onto tilemaps, enemies and moar! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

As a "Greg" this makes much sense. Yes.

Today's challenge was to build a fire-putter-outer game in Unreal 5 following Jim Dublace's bootcamp tutorials. Tomorrow, enhancements, damage/death, and fine tuning. #gamedev #indiedev #funemployed

Let’s do this, fall 🍂

Cleaned the apartment. Next on my “avoid job hunting” list: shaving my beard, in hopes it fixes my entire life. Stay tuned!

Yeah, so safe to say that #Expedition33 is going WELL...

Good shot, baby! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pa1...

Playing Dying Light: The Beast for the plot. The plot:

After my recent layoff, I wasn't really sure what to do with myself. But there's this thought in the back of my head that keeps saying "make a god damn video game" (with 0 exp). Today I made a player-controlled ball with collision detection and level transitions! Baby steps! #funemployed #gamedev

You see, that’s where it all started, that goddamn gaslighting-

Is this thing still on? We're back after a long hiatus, starting tomorrow 9/7/25 #twitch twitch.tv/b3ardsy

Everything sucks after a lay off. But this is a good start (cat cafe)
