Bushcraft Survival on mobile? Maybe! I'm learning about some super cool Godot features enabling desktop and mobile builds to coexist on one code branch. For the Godot devs: there's a plugin called Resource Remaps (godotengine.org/asset-librar...) allowing you to remap autoloads for your platforms.

The scenario regarding job layoffs and AI usage at Microsoft is pretty sad. The game development industry is mostly a creative industry, and Microsoft is very clearly signaling that they would prefer AI content over work created by artists. #ai #microsoft #games www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gLs...

In the past I worked with the devs who made Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced and they are SUPER awesome and talented. If you like visual novels, consider giving this game a shot! store.steampowered.com/app/3164710/... #indiegames #steam #visualnovels

We have had this blanket for a long time and every time I look at this little blue guy I keep thinking to myself he's going to be the main character in the next pixel art game I make. What should his name be?? #BlueMan #Ape

A little write-up on why I need to move away from the Blender Market. It's been a great platform but unfortunately they don't do taxes... a boring topic, but maybe might help some people understand why I'm moving to Gumroad + itch michaeljared.itch.io/blender-to-g...

Just sharing a funny clip of gamedev things for your amusement. #blender #godot

~BUSHCRAFT SURVIVAL~ I am on a 3D modeling rampage today! So many props for the "public use cabins" game mechanic. #blender #3dmodeling #texturing fun fact, the bed roll on the right was originally like 670k tris, baked it down to 500!

The first gameplay trailer for Bushcraft Survival is up on Steam, please go give it a watch! I'm about to go through a major art-direction overhaul, but the core mechanics/game loop are there. It's been a lot of work over the past 4 months, but I am excited! #indiedev #bushcraft s.team/a/3529110

DEAD INTERNET THEORY #BlueSky, let's talk about it, and how it relates to art, tech, and for me, game development -- I'm sure I can't be the only one who feels engagement is lower on BlueSky. I've finally come to grips with it- although it feels bad, it's a *good* thing. (1/6) #DeadInternetTheory

THE COLD DARK [Original Track] The title of this track is a gentle nod to one of my favorite games, The Long Dark. It was (and is) a huge inspiration that I draw from for Bushcraft Survival #godot #indiedev #TheLongDark #BushcraftSurvival www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-_3...

Beavers don’t need blueprints — they’re born builders! With nothing but instinct and some serious teeth, they create wetlands that support hundreds of species, filter water, and help fight climate change. They're ecosystem engineers, reducing floods and boosting biodiversity, one dam at a time. 🦫

Bluesky #indiedev! I have some news for my Blender-Godot-Pipeline: - Godot 4.4 is now tested, and all is good! - There's complete written docs now - A new GitHub repo with a full test scene (link on page below) Happy building! #blender #godot #gamedev superhivemarket.com/products/ble...

It's International Beaver Day! My first (published) game was "A Beaver's Tale". Although it wasn't commercially successful, it was super fun and I learned a ton. PS. Beavers are super important for the environment. They are like ecosystem engineers! #beavers store.steampowered.com/news/app/304...

I would just like to say that I have been listening to this song on repeat while coding for Bushcraft Survival And that you should too 🪇🎶🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwg9...

HEY BLUESKY I made a devlog today, for my game project Bushcraft Survival. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpo1... #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #BushcraftSurvival

Calling all #Canadians, I challenge you to spot the easter egg in this prop for Bushcraft Survival! Also: - Ucupaint is an extremely goated and incredible Blender plugin for texturing - I don't think I'll be renewing Substance Painter #blender #ucupaint #3dmodeling #gamedev

First sound track is coming together for #BushcraftSurvival! Here's a sneak preview, this one will likely be the start menu track Give it a wish list on Steam to support development: store.steampowered.com/app/3529110/... #indiedev #reaper #audacity

And this is the result, 5h later! #BLENDER

Tonight: some UV mapping for the folding saw in Bushcraft Survival. Next up I will be baking some high poly details onto it! #indiedev #bushcraftsurvival

⚡3D GAMEDEV TIP⚡ Marking edges "Sharp" can make a huge difference in some cases. For this knife, I was having way too much trouble with the baked normal map. So rather than fiddle with it endlessly, I marked a few edges sharp and it looks pretty good! #blender #godot #BushcraftSurvival

FEEDBACK PLEASE! This morning spent a few hours working on the logo for Bushcraft Survivor. Yes/No? #indiedev #steam
