Watchword is TWELVE BUCKS right now and it's extremely worth it. If you're frustrated from dying in Silksong repeatedly, this is a game that's surprisingly relaxing for how challenging it is.

👀 The trials are waiting... 👀 Watchword is officially out now!! There's a limited time 15% launch discount to celebrate 🎉🎉🎉 s.team/a/2906730 #indiegame #release #godot #roguelite #deckbuilder #gaming

🥁🥁🥁 Watchword has a release date! As much as I'd love to delay my game for #silksong like other cool indie games, my irl son is due to be born in a few weeks and I had a goal to release this game before that 😅 Any wishlists & shares are greatly appreciated ❤️ s.team/a/2906730 #indiegame #godot

Hi all! I'm having another First Impressions pre-recorded gameplay premiere, 4PM EST today. I'll be in the chat, feel free to drop by and say hi! Playing @bigquailgames.com 's Watchword. Hope you're having an awesome Saturday! 😄✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=joBa...

New steam capsule & logo are live and looking 🔥 My artist for this, backgrounds, and some character art isn't on bsky, but check him out on instagram he's awesome: www.instagram.com/jaxw.art/

Optimizing code for performance is such a weird thing... So many of my systems are pretty easy to make more efficient just by putting some actual thought and design behind them rather than just rapidfire prototyping without a plan.

Every so often I think, "I should make a game about birding" only to remember that the pure joy and thrill of birdwatching comes from doing it for realsies in beautiful nature with people I love and if I made a game I'd probably hate birds by the end.. ..but sometimes it's hot outside, ya know? 🐦🦢🦅

My brain might be too smooth for this feature but you gotta give the people what they want! Glitch pieces coming soon to a Watchword near you! Use them to create interesting intersections of words, they count as one letter vertically and another horizontally! s.team/a/2906730 #gamedev #watchword

We saw a lot of great demos today! Be sure to check out: Watchword (from @bigquailgames.com); Dicealot (from Goodviewgames and @yogscast.games); and A La Card (from @shookloose.bsky.social)! I'm sure all three will consume my life once they're out 😅 I'll try to check out more demos this week!

Curious to know how other devs handle difficulty curves in their games? It's crunch time so for the moment I hurriedly slapped points on a graph then just trial/error tweaked some curves that felt right. Very chaotic, I know 😅 I'm sure there's a better way #indiedev #gamedev

🗣️ New Devlog on Youtube! 🗣️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwLA... Let's just say it's been a rough month of scrapped mechanics, but we've pushed through and I'm really happy with what we ended up with. Also the new art by @jaxw.art is 🤩🤩 #devlog #indiegame #indiedeveloper #godot #roguelike

This might be my favorite book in Watchword so far I was giggling for way too long when I came up with the name #indiegamedev #godot #books #wordgames #wishlistwednesday

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it. moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards. that's it. Have fun! onemillionchessboards.com

I was way more nervous about the upgrade to Godot 4.4 than I should have been, so far it's been a breeze

I can't believe it took me this long to realize how useful CanvasGroups are in Godot

Maybe someday I'll understand shaders
