Made this dirt texture today, pretty happy about how it turned out!

I tried @jesscodes.bsky.social's overlay texture for tilemaps, and it works so well! Multiple textures are baked together, so each pixel's RGB value is treated as a binary number. Each color is a 1 if its value is above 250. Red = 1, Blue = 2, and Green = 4. I'm not using black (0) or white (7).

I spent a ton of time revisiting and polishing the discovery system after reviewing all the feedback from the demo!

New milestone, but this one actually hurts. 🫠 #gamedev

It happened! Thank you everyone for your support!

My minimalist puzzle game, Snakeloop, is out! It's Snake but your goal is to eat your own tail and form a loop. Features 90 levels with multiple solutions (try to find the optimal ones), lots of emerging mechanics and workshop support. Available now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3336460/...

Very honored to see the Greenfeet Haven demo listed in a @gamingbible.bsky.social article! And also, a big thank you to @kateharrold.bsky.social for writing this. www.gamingbible.com/news/platfor...

Yesterday, the demo went out. Today, the game reached 600 wishlists! 🤯 THANK YOU!

The demo version of Greenfeet Haven is now AVAILABLE on Steam! 🥳🥳🥳 Please check it out and spread the word to your friends! #gamedev #indiegame

684 gamedev tasks completed over a year... 8 more to go! Demo out in 2 days 😍 #gamedev #indiegame

Well... I didn't expect that! #gamedev #indiegames

4 days until the demo releases on Steam! 😱 #indiegame #bevy

It's so funny that Balatro's working folder for dev is "CardGame". Mine has been "bevy-proto" since the beginning. What is your's? #gamedev #indiegame

Save the date! 😱 #gamedev #indiegame

I love how some "quick changes" can take me 2-3 days, while this "deep change that's going to break everything" then takes me 3 hours. 🙃 #gamedev

Update: approved 🥳🥳🥳

Huge changes landing in this week's playtest build. You can get more infos on my blog here: owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-... #gamedev #indiegames

I just submitted the demo build for review, wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞 #gamedev #indiegames

Today I showcased the game at an event in Toulouse thanks to @toulousegamedev.bsky.social! It was awesome!

🌽 In the next update there will be "wild occurrences" for every type of crop. This will replace the current "1% chance of random seed from tall grass" loot system. #gamedev

And now skills, needs and thoughts! #gamedev #bevy

I added a origin story + traits system to the game!

😩Spend the evening hunting a performance issue on the game. 😤Fail. Take a break and launch Minecraft. 🤯Minecraft is also stuttering. Turns out Nvidia's latest driver (572.16) was the problem.

Adding FX is always a pleasant part where everything suddenly feels more alive!

Greenfeet Haven has passed the 60K line of code threshold. This is my biggest project ever! 😱

First blog post of 2025! With progress on the game but also an unexpected COOL gift I got! 👇 owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-...

Here's the mindset that kept me running the past year no matter the difficulties: I'm nobody in the gamedev space, and I'll have to prove my value as a worthy indie by making the best games I can. (1/4)

Another week working on player feedback and QoL. Here's the most complex and requested feature: auto equip! Goodbye micromanagement, you will not be missed!

BOOM! New BLOG POST! New schedule UI, new job evaluator, new bottom menu, and even more new things, let's go! 👇 owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-...

The Steam page of Kabuto Park is live! 🪲🌸🌲 Time to add the cutest bug collection game to your wishlist ✨ I really hope you'll like this new tiny game I'm working on 💕 Link below ⬇️ #indiegame #Steam #gamedev

I'm adding a lot of QoL features lately that will help understand what's going on!

I'm getting to the point where I'm considering unit testing some parts of the game. Stuff like complex zone-based automation. Thankfully, "past Owlycode" left a lot of comments for the "future Owlycode".

BLOG POST TIME! Campfires consuming wood, new "gather" action, durability system on tools, it's just down there! 👇 owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-...

I love weird bugs: "All greenfeet become invisible if the game is saved while being paused". 🤪

I'm currently working on "stuff that requires consumables". Here's how it works with a campfire! 🔥🔥🔥

BLOG POST ALERT! 📢 A bunch of fixes for the exploration system, improved AI and idle behaviors, find out everything there! 👇 owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-...

Wow It seems that Bluesky is getting a lot of traction lately! Welcome everyone and thank you for following me!

Another week of work completed! I focused on the exploration part of the game, and as usual you can read more about it on my blog: owlycode-makes-games.com/blog/weekly-...

Oh no, wishlists not found 😱

I finally got rid of the black texture hiding unexplored areas. It's much better now!

I'm trying to figure out a style that looks good and that I can eventually manage to produce at scale for the game!

In a few hours we'll be posting the TOP-15 results from Ludum Dare 56 on Bluesky, federating it to Mastodon, making it available as RSS, and cross posting to LinkedIn (for I dunno, getting jobs 'n stuff). #LDJam ldjam.com/events/ludum...
