Recently, I've been exploring options to port my React app to desktop + mobile. There's Electron, but man... it takes so much effort to get anything to run 😭 Atm I'm trying out Tauri, and it's been surprisingly smooth so far. The file I/O system actually feels a lot like Qt

Light mode or Dark mode? #UI #UIDesign

Quick progress update: - Cleaned up the menu layout - Further balanced the theme colors - Dimensions fields resize the canvas now Today was much lighter now that school has started up again. Might do progress updates like these more often. Keeps me motivated when days get tough 🔥

Exploring new menu layout ideas for a digital math scratch-sheet app. UI inspiration from @anwashsaleem on X. Which one feels clearer? 🤔 #uidesign #uxdesign #indiedev #ui #ux

This month’s project is a digital scratch sheet app for math. The goal is to make working through problems feel as natural as possible without paper (not easy haha) #indiedev #typescript #react

Today I’ve been experimenting with different file-saving techniques in React, and I’m noticing that browser filesystem access is very limited. Workflows like loading and saving files without creating duplicates feel pretty convoluted, if they’re possible at all...

A couple months ago my barber cut my hair much lower than planned, so I’ve been rocking this look lately. It’s been lowkey growing on me 😂

Deep work grind sesh 🔥

For the past few weeks, I’ve been learning TypeScript, and now I genuinely can’t see why I’d code in JavaScript anymore 😆 It provides: - Type safety - Quality-of-life tools - Better structure for large codebases Are there any reasons you’d still choose JS over TS?

Experimenting with Framer Motion for the first time to add some personality to my portfolio page :) #UI #FramerMotion

I made a rhythm game in Qt as a proof of concept! In this devlog, I discuss the game's core features and development hurdles! #MadeWithQt #gamedev #rhythmgame www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfbF...

Upload times have been pretty lengthy, but within the next few minutes I’ll be releasing my quick little devlog on my Qt rhythm game 👀

In my rhythm game, Rebirth, I’m introducing Double Tap Notes! Another new mechanic that shakes up the classic rhythm game style: Tap once to lock the note in place, and tap again when the judgment rectangle matches the note's size to score points! This one is definitely one of favs :P #gamedev

Ok, given that I’m still adding a couple finishing touches, instead of rushing to get the video out today, I’ll 100% be posting it tomorrow. I apologize for the wait… Editing is truly a process 😅

It turns out that when I started recording, I was using the wrong settings, so I'll have to redo and edit the majority of my voice clips :( So, I likely won't be able to release the video today after all, but I'm aiming to have it ready by Friday. Until then, I'll keep y'all posted 👍

Ok I’ve decided to do a devlog on my Qt Rhythm game! So I’m gonna try and finish the video in time to release on Monday. Keeping all fingers crossed 🤞

Programming mouse functionality to the slanted hold notes #MadeWithQt #gamedev

I’m looking to increase my connections with like-minded developers on here. Bluesky is fun with followers :) If you work with: - C++ - Python - JavaScript - Qml - Web design - UI/UX Say hi! I hope we can create meaningful #connections together 🔥

I was told that this book will give me a comprehensive understanding of C++. Now I’m genuinely scared of what I’m about to witness 🗿

Just added a music player to the title screen! The game now picks a random track based on the maps it finds in the tracks folder. Thoughts? #Qt #Rhythmgame #UI

Doing a minimalistic map select menu for my experimental rhythm game How are we feeling about this one? #MadeWithQt #UI #UX #gamedev #rhythmgame

4 More days until the first theme is announced for my #gamejam! We are steadily growing and are just shy of 3 folks - thank you for your shares, reposts and all the love ❤️ We have a very friendly developer community both in general and for the jam itself discord.gg/DMCUgpSZ! #gamedev #indiedev

In my rhythm game, Rebirth, Forgotten Notes are a new twist on the rhythm game style. Avoid them at all costs to keep your combo alive❤️‍🔥 #MadeWithQt #IndieDev #gamedev

Man, it’s crazy how computers just randomly decide that they are done with you 😭 Laptop’s in the shop, and I should have it back in a couple of days now. I’ll be back posting updates about my Qt rhythm game as soon as it’s up and running!

Small sexy buttons, neat little drawers, cute elastic transitions 🥲 #gamedev

Over the summer, I wanted to try something a little different: building a rhythm game with the Qt library. Instead of static charts, each map uses tokens that shift charting styles mid-play, creating unique maps you won’t find anywhere else! #gamedev #Qt #rhythmgame #indiegame

Hi, I’m Jadon (or Jay for short), a self-taught programmer who loves making games & desktop apps. Back from a short break and have been taking a deeper dive into Qt for desktop dev. I'm looking forward to sharing what I’ve been learning on here :)

IT'S UP NOW!!! If you've been struggling with creating trajectory lines with collision handling in Godot 4, be sure to give it a watch :) #Godot #Gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvtn...

OK FINALLY I'm pretty much done with everything! I plan on posting the Trajectory line tutorial tomorrow, as soon as YouTube verifies my account. That way, I can post the GitHub link for y'all to mess around with the code as well. Sorry for the delay y'all. Life just be lifeing sometimes 😅

Bruh, I was gonna release it today until I found a way to shorten the trajectory line code by a significant amount lol. Ima spend a couple more days editing it in but I promise the tutorial is almost done guys 😭

Life’s got me tied up real tight this week, so I’ll for sure need a few more days to finish editing the tutorial, but the goal is to drop it early next week :) I might just do GD4 for now unless there are GD3 out there who also really need one

These sorts of UI features seem simple, but I always find implementing them to be surprisingly time-consuming! #indiegames #gamedev #PICO8

You know a video game was amazing when you’re still thinking about it years after playing it.

Run boy run!! #pixelart #gamedev #indiegamedev

Just finished another, even more accurate trajectory line prototype in Godot 4.3! I'll be able to do a tutorial on how to make one in both versions now, which is exciting! I'm trying to get one out by the end of the month, so please stay tuned if you've been struggling with making these as well :)

I like this voronoi pattern for the environment but I'm not sure if the constant changing is distracting. Any thoughts? #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

working on a way to merge experience orbs together when there's a ton of them on screen. this helps quite a bit with performance late-game #gamedev

The fantastic game jam @ludumdare.com is sadly not running any events in 2025 as host Mike Kasprzak is struggling financially. While Mike isn't specifically asking for donations, he does have a Patreon which helps cover the jam's expenses. Perhaps we can help? www.patreon.com/c/mikekasprz...

With school back in session, progress on me and my friend’s game has slowed down a bit. In the meantime, I want to try doing a prediction line tutorial, potentially covering both Godot 3 and 4 for those who are interested. There aren’t many videos on the topic, so I think this could be interesting!

Working on a ground spike attack, but right now they look a bit like fence posts, still figuring out the telegraphing and outlines for attacks #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart

What’s crazy is that it appears to be quite unintuitive and tedious to change the playback speed of your animations using the tree in Godot 3. I just can’t get it to work 😔 Maybe I should stick to the plain old animated sprite node and try the tree again in GD4. I’ve heard it’s much better there

I just learned Godot has a whole animation tree system WHAT I thought I had to manage all my animations solely by code...

Made a battle theme of sorts, it's a bit repetitive at least in my opinion, but I think it sounds neat. #PROJECTNEO #UE5 #GameDev

I like when the second phase of the boss battle gives the boss a different, fancier name

HAPPY NEW YEAR BLUE SKY🎉🎉🎉 Let’s make this one awesome!!!

After about 30hrs of work, I just finished a new move: a Trajectory-Based Wall-Jump! I finally got the endpoint to react to collisions without glitches, which I'm super happy about. I'm considering making a tutorial on this since there aren’t many on trajectory lines in Godot yet. #gamedev #Godot

Merry Christmas friends! Hope everyone has a wonderful time today🎄 I’m gonna try and post a little more often going forward. I’ve been away to spend time with family recently, but I’ll soon have more gamedev content to show as soon as I finish fixing a few tough glitches in our project :)

an absolute sucker for a cotton candy sky

I made a Godot PR which adds special handling of primitive shapes (SphereMesh, BoxMesh, CylinderMesh, CapsuleMesh) to the automatic collision generator dialog. Previously, it would always generate trimesh collision for these. Give it a spin! github.com/godotengine/... #GodotEngine #gamedev
