Impromptu Memora Wanderer NPC making time! Post your characters and I'll choose some at random and make them, and they might appear in-game like in towns. Boosts appreciated! Here are some I made previously:

I spent a good portion of this week adding sound effects to the game, but I decided last night that I didn't like what I'd selected, so back to square one with that But at least I've been able to add proper input prompts on the play screen now! #indiedev #gamedev #monogame #screenshotsaturday

playing suboptimally to make sure code is working #indiedev #monogame #solodev #fallingblocks

Mostly QoL stuff this week: Added a countdown at the start of the game and the omino has the status icon in addition to the border color Bombs were replaced with a generator status to get energy too (main way to get it now) #screenshotsaturday #monogame #indiedev #solodev #fallingblocks #tetris

This week for #screenshotsaturday, I changed the default resolution of the game to 1920x1080p, implemented a bag system so that you don't get the same piece 5 times within 7 turns, and fixed the window resizing/scaling code that would mess up the UI #indiedev #madewithmonogame #solodev #gamedev

window resizing is a pain windows are panes

Anyone else out there making a falling block puzzle game for their #indiedev or #gamedev project? ( #fallingblock games include #tetris #puzzleleague and #puyopuyo for those not familiar with the concept)

It's been too long since I've shown actual game footage of my four-directional falling block puzzle game, so here you go! #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #madewithmonogame #solodev #fallingblocks #puzzlegame

It's been a while (May was rough), but I've still got a lot done since I last posted, including: - A pause menu that's actually centered on the screen - Full-color character art - Little indicators showing you that going that way is bad for your health #gamedev #madewithmonogame #indiedev #solodev

trying left dock panel (task bar) on my Linux machine to help it not feel so much like Windows this'll take some getting used to...

Had the idea of having the field change when the gravity pulses or when the gravity changes. I'm curious which one y'all prefer (with no field change being a totally acceptable option). This is with gravity pulses (when the gravity forces the omino down) #indiedev #gamedev #madewithmonogame

Excellent thread. I got my master's degree and game development and never even tried for the industry (it didn't seem like a good fit for me and my family), but the skills I learned there helped me land a job working on a flight simulator that actual pilots use for actual FAA training

This is what that was for lol #madewithmonogame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

sometimes you just need some bad programmer art to make progress #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I haven't posted anything for the past couple of weeks for #screenshotsaturday because I was busy reworking the rendering code to make connected textures and autogenerate the omino shape renders And I am very proud of the result #indiedev #solodev #madewithmonogame (Images are before and after)

Easily the best phrase I've heard today was "Love your adversaries."

My four-directional falling-block puzzle game is really starting to come to life! I added one of the character renders, did some much-needed UI adjustments (overhaul in the works), and solved some bugs with window resizing #screenshotsaturday #MadeWithMonoGame #indiedev #monogame #solodev #gamedev

New collection announcement: We're live at GDC... 1989! We've digitized 21 hours of talks from the third ever Computer Game Developers' Conference, now available for free in our digital library 🔊 gamehistory.org/cgdc-1989-ta...

Finally got around to implementing this todo item from December lol (took maybe an hour at most) (it's the "next omino" display) #indiedev #MadeWithMonoGame #monogame #gamedev #solodev #falling-block

Added an ability for the player to reverse gravity and indicators for the current gravity direction! (The glitch where the direction indicators would stop working under certain conditions is fixed but I didn't have time to get a new vid) #screenshotsaturdy #gamedev #indiedev #monogame #block-puzzle

I'm maybe 90% feature complete on my four-directional falling block game! ...maybe 2% content complete though, at best

spent tonight writing a build system for my #monogame project in Python to replace some really wonky shell scripts that weren't flexible at all that'll make getting demos out to my friends/family (aka playtesters) a lot less of a daunting (and intimidating!) task

Releasing a new game version - even if it's just an early alpha version - is somehow liberating, even though it's in a really raw state Probably 'cause it lets you shift from "polish polish polish" to "okay, now I can work on that refactor that I've been putting off for forever" #indiedev #gamedev

In addition to making cores (red spaces) and pickups expire with time, I made the underlying grid turn red as the core gets closer to expiring! I think it really helps the player be aware of that limit without them darting their eyes over to the (currently) hard-to-see timer. #indiedev #monogame

Making some good progress in my little falling-block puzzle game: - Window scaling - Better UI - Tons of backend improvements - Soft drops implemented (gotta avoid those RSIs) #gamedev #monogame #indiedev

I’m really enjoying drawing this witch #oc! Aurelia’s from the same world as the angels that I’ve posted here in the past

A witch #oc I designed yesterday! Right now her name is Aurelia. Very much a WIP #isperi #traditionalart #ink #paper

I added numbers to my falling block puzzle game, so I'll let it slide! #monogame #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #fallingblocks

I miss President Holland already :(

WOOHOO ACE COMBAT 8 I was gonna work on my game tonight but i've been too busy consuming all the information available about the game

Really rough and early preview of my current @monogame.net project Need to make it work now so I can make it pretty later! #indiedev

The Spitetress, one of the main villains of my #fantasy #worldbuilding project. She also happens to be one of my wife's favorite designs that I've done :D #oc #traditionalart

I really ought to post more of my drawings here lol I have a lot of fun with it and I need to share more Things are just more fun when you share them with others

#inktober day 2 I wanted to do Chopper from Ace Combat 5 weaving through the missiles (iykyk) but I can't draw jets So here's fairy weaving through the... magic missiles, I guess

King Bob-omb for #Inktober day 1

Elemental (or nature) fairies are the most common type of fairy in #Isperi, my fantasy #worldbuilding project. They are called such because 1) they command elemental magic and 2) they are enveloped in the element they control. Pictured are two of my fairy #ocs, Brooke and Oberon. #traditionalart

I despise video tutorials

It was not a good weekend. This song helps me feel better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg5O...

I finished another reading of The Book of Mormon tonight. I love that book tremendously - it has helped me draw nearer to Christ in a way that I find difficult to describe. Now I get to study it again as I study the Gospel of Matthew (and the rest of the New Testament) in parallel :)

I know I've got a lot to learn with pixel art, but I'm pretty happy with how this one is turning out so far. Now if only I can figure out how to pack in more detail per pixel... #oc

so swapping attacks in the middle of firing doesn't stop the previous attack from firing lol #gamedev #monogame

I got a ton of sketchbooks that are taking up space. I want to consolidate them into a single volume with only the stuff I even somewhat like, but that’s a hefty project to be sure. anyone know of a service that can help with that?

i was trying to make boomerangs but i made an art program instead #gamedev #monogame

Working with my wife to design the main character for my current #gamedev project :)
