Who's ready for some dancing with lady luck? #gamedev #indiedev #cardgame #reburn

he 💀

Hey BlueSky! I'm making a point and click adventure about a former FBI agent in pursuit of a Lovecraftian death cult with a 90s digitized graphics look. 🤗

I heard great things about Digimon Cyber Sleuth, but something about the character models really bugged me. Not sure what or why, they just look off to me. Very happy this is not the case with Time Stranger. Game looks absultely gorgeous, loved the demo and can't wait for the full thing

i really like that kaladin, although the embodiment of the fair faced, dark haired, physically gifted fantasy protag, is also just straight up fucking depressed lol brandon's characterization is really fun for me due to that, sprinkling complexity into what's usually tropes very cool

Incredible artwork as always done for the staff t-shirts! We're shifting toward this cartoony style for our new game and we're loving it! #gamedev #indiegame #art #reburn

lmao this trend a doctor I trust more than rfk jr

fresh

Finished artwork for our new gamba archetype core card! Are you crazy enough for the mad scientist!? #cardgame #gamedev #indiegame #reburn

With heavy hearts, we announce the end of an era. After 7 years and 7 months, online services for Dual Snake have concluded. Words cannot describe how proud we are. To honor its legacy, we've immortalized all community levels and records forever offline. ❤️🐍 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

i can't really explain the feeling of sadness, happiness and nostalgia that came working on this last update Dual Snake changed my life. it might not be the best game, it's filled with flaws, but i'm very proud of it thank you all who played it! more to come #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #pixelart

The thing that really exacerbates elitism and gatekeeping in game development is how it borrows from the worst in software development The "you're not making games unless you're making an engine" really stems from the stupid "real vs fake" programming languages IMO And honestly that fucking sucks

amazing art once again!

and this indirectly reflects on many other medias as well, like indie video games good translation services were not affordable for smaller teams, so in the past indies were "exused" from not supporting multiple languages

it's been really fun for me comparing song of ice and fire to the stormlight archives considering how different they are, but also how much i'm loving the latter (after thinking id not like it) jon and kaladin are both broken boys with a sense of "justice and duty", but couldn't be more different

Tywin Lannister is actually dumb as fuck and Cersei's "wish you were alive to see I'm tje real Tywin 2.0" makes complete fucking sense Want to yap about this. Maybe a video? I have a full script on elotosm in game dev that I just need to record

Gamba! Gamba! New artwork for a new high risk, high reward archetype. We're very excited for the new cards! #art #indiedev #gamedev #reburn

does microsoft understand that they make money by running the serious computers that do the grown up business stuff

i guess i'll take my chances with my unpatched after october windows 10

we're making new cardsss

you see this post a title screen that is iconic to you

been a while since i posted about me gaem y'all ready for #reburn

For this week's #RandomGameSaturday I'm going to bring a game that a recent conversation reminded me of. Atelier Rorona The Alchemist of Arland. A great representation of an entire saga, and therefore the perfect opportunity to get hooked. Helping Rorona become a great alchemist.

medium-old guy saw my tattoos and excitedly said ‘i have one too, on my shoulder! wanna see?’ then proceeded to pull up his sleeve to show me a tattoo of Taz the tasmanian devil holding a glock saying ‘ROMANS 12:19’ in gothic letters in a speech bubble

all this pirate software discourse leading to even more elitism in the indie dev scene is so maddening not defending the guy, SKG is a necessity and 90% of the dude's takes are abhorent but turning this into YOU'RE NOT A GAME DEV IF YOU USE A SINGLE BUBBLE SORT IN YOUR CODE is so fucking stupid

hello new followers what's happening

I want him on my team

the fact we just went to trump's fucking idk instagram and just did the "this is brazil" meme is absolutely hilarious to me keep those tariffs up my guy i wanna pay for my coffee in brazilian coin again

the steam deck is a gift from the planes divine above, praise be

Thanks a million to everyone who stopped by Super XP 2025 and tried our bare-bones demo! Your feedback, ideas, and excitement (no matter how rough the build) mean the world to us. We’re hard at work getting things ready, so stay tuned! #SuperXP2025 #GameDev #IndieDev

i'm convinced this is the 5 stages of grief for game devs: - no my scope is aight, i can do this in time - why the fuck did i choose to redo all this?? - i mean better a late game than a bad game am i right - oh god i'm never finishing this - good games really do just need time

This is both sad and frustrating, ngl. I know nintendo games have a wonder and charm to them, but man $450 for a console with the same drift issues as its 10 yo predecessor? $80 bucks for a game the reinvented nothing? Well with gta 6 coming soon it was just a matter of time anyway, but still

i understand and stand behind mocking the tech that is destroying our planet faster than ever (impressively enough), but i wish i could shake the doomer feeling and share the laugh sure, it's bad at chess, but you know what it's (kinda) good at? writing code (aka my job) or at least good enough

been trying the vibe code thing these last couple weeks and honestly it feels really fucking weird i feels like i'm 80% of my time doing nothing while i wait for shit to run took me a day to do something i'm not entirely sure would've taken more if i did it myself

this is an actual testament of how complete shit the AAA video game industry gas gone to the disrespect to such a beloved title is baffling: - horrendous texture scaling - no visual fidelity on sprite rework - no sprite rework at all on important shit like face sprites this is maddening

sharing to watch this later as should y'all probably one of the smartest, most talented people i have the privilege of following haven't watched it but already know it's a must watch for any indie game dev

great article, honestly. reflects pretty well what i'm feeling right now the argument that we have to read and merge other people's code, so it being AI or not doesn't matter is very strong but my only point of contention is that it's indisputable AI code assistants make me dumb

gm

I WAS WRONG HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

so far the reveals in Rhythm of War have been less... bombastic, than other books? i'm enjoying it, but it does feel like they are very impactful to the lore, but less for specific characters granted i still have like 200 pages to go and i feel there's a big one coming in Shallan chapters i wonder

the prospects of how the world will change with this AI revolution really scare me: - llms are viable and cheap, but we're expected to produce a fuck ton more earning the same - llms are unsustainable, but we now depend on them or lose our jobs it seems most possibilities involve US being fucked

Its Wii Shop Wednesday!

our biggest discount to date! or you could also play our demo, it has like 3 hours of content #steam #solodev #gamedev #indiedev
