Enemies have 3 chances to drop items, but they can only do it once. If they're destroyed, shaken, or if you throw a weapon you stole from them. If you're doing poorly in a stage and need health, try throwing your weapon! I call this drop storage. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

My first keyboard was a Casio PT-82. You can hear it all over my music if you listen close enough. Sometimes I make song covers with just those instruments like this:

7.8/10, too much water.

A group of programmers is called a stack.

I keep running into the same problem with in-engine cutscenes no matter what engine I use. Camera cuts are never a single frame. By default you can see 2 to 3 frames where objects rotate and pop in.

My first laptop was a Thinkpad A31. I've been using it a lot lately. But it has this new quirk where the bios won't post sometimes. Today I figured out the problem: The GPU has a cracked solder joint. When it's warm, it expands and suddenly works. I have to WARM UP a PENTIUM 4 to get it to boot.

January has been weird. But I did manage to make / improve a bunch of effects. There's too many to count, so see if you can spot them. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I added an impact particle when Alex lands. It's pretty simple, but I think it adds a lot. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

This is my sense of humor in 2026. Also it works for some reason. Why?

I'm porting a very special game into the arcade. Those who know, know. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

This is probably the weirdest thing I did this year. But who else can say they can shuffle a playlist on a Tascam DR-07?

Feels like the calm before the storm.

I don't know. He's on third we're not talking about him.

You know what? Let's just not animate the gear. That'll fix it. ...Wait, did you hear that? #godot #gamedev #indiedev

OK I take it back. NOW it's my favorite sequence in the level.

Andross from Starfox. Back when I was first learning 3D modeling I made this by eyeballing footage from the SNES game. It's one of my first models in Blender. #blender #art #StarFox

I think this is my favorite sequence in the level so far.

Wait, that worked?

At this point the games I look forward to get new releases so infrequently that I don't if I should be excited or worried. So I'll just say this: I'll play it. But I'm not getting hyped. See you in 2 years.

Look at all those chickens

I've been noticing lately that bots appear when I use the tags. Usually all at the same time in the same order too. I'm going to try and go without for a while. It's always frustrating to get a notification and realize that the interaction wasn't real.

I replaced the audio middleware. The cool part is that I had already wrapped it's sound calls in my own functions, so none of the code that talked to it had to change.

If you bonk this enemy the wrong way, you'll lose the fastest path. This wasn't intentional, but I saw it happen and went "Wait keep that in!"

There is 1 piece of middleware still in the game, and I'm working on removing it / implementing the feature myself. No more closed systems. Keep the code where I can see it.

New bug: Arcade cabinets restore your health when you exit a minigame. I'm tempted to keep this in.

I ran into a weird performance issue. For some reason, the level 1 scene would drop frames, but only after the level was cleared. The source didn't seem to be drawcalls or code. It turns out it was the NPC animation trees. Too many of them run constantly. So now I turn them off when they'e far away.

I've been drawing lately. I needed concept art for some NPCs. Normally I draw on paper, but I decided to try using a tablet again. Most of the time I can never get the linework right. But this week I discovered the smooth stroke tool. ...This thing has been here the whole time and no one told me.

Frostman's stage was easy. There I said it.
