Best of luck!! Love this genre mashup

Creating ZX Spectrum videos #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames

A new breakthrough tonight in #pixelart programming... video capabilities! This could be cool for animated character portraits in #indiegames. This one uses default settings on a #gameboy pixel art filter I particularly like

The #gameboy filter just works so nicely though

#pixelart daily Procedurally generated experiments with 16 colour early Windows UI and icon palette (lospec.com/palette-list...) #proceduralgeneration #indiedev

#PixelArt using 4 colours Developing sprites for an #indiegame I'm making "Lava-GB Palette": lospec.com/palette-list... #indiedev #gaming #art

Experiments in #pixelart and 4 colour palettes This one uses: lospec.com/palette-list...

i'm not quite done with bug fixes, but you can play the game with custom gamepad bindings set up in the input settings now! autowalk and other chords work perfectly (autowalk is X + direction, and open door is X + press toward door).

Introducing DARK PR: INFORMATION WARFARE SIMULATOR A little something I've been working on It's a roguelite deckbuilding broken build sandbox manager simulator. FTL meets Slay the Spire meets Balatro meets a troll factory in South East Asia Wishlist on Steam maybe soon? #indiegames #gamedev

More experiments in programmatic pixel art

Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA #prge #prge2025 #retrogaming #VGHF

One last experiment for tonight - the Balrog of Moria using the NES palette and some light dithering

More experiments with procedurally generated #pixelart. The tool I have developed simply implements techniques that I do manually in asesprite, such as tracing lines and avoiding jaggies, dithering using brushes, etc. This uses a reference image but otherwise it is all programmatically generated.

Experiment with procedurally generated dithering This is a custom tool I built in python to help with the pixel art workflow #pixelart #indiedev #indiegames

Experimenting with a new python program to generate pixel art. The results are much better than I expected! #pixelart #indiegames #gamedev #gameboy

My golfing roguelike's been on my mind again lately. May have to revisit the idea after Unto Deepest Depths is out... #gamedev #roguelike #GodotEngine

My fiancé made the Blade Runner unicorn!

Don’t sleep on this project! It looks dreamy for traditional roguelike folks and newcomers to the genre

Hot tip YouTube comment of the day In regards to balancing games:

Forgot to turn off the engagement metrics UI when the bot is running. Balancing the game using genetic algorithms has been useful, but lots of caveats #indiedev #indiegames

I made a silly little thing idk brkeogh.itch.io/automatic-fl...

The Microsoft Windows 16-colour VGA (640×480) mode palette. This was the default palette for the earlier versions of Windows; it is now only the last resort palette when the graphics hardware has no driver for Windows. And the first resort for the pixel art sprites I'm about to start drawing...

Really enjoyed the talk by @ezra-szanton.itch.io about "synergy networks" in roguelike games and decided to try implement one. Here's the network generated from the logs of my bot, currently playing Social Media Manager Link to talk: www.youtube.com/live/Cirv4Uz... #gamedev #indiegames

Top tier tip! I saw a fantastic short video on this recently www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh35...

Some improvements to the genetic algorithm game balancing bot. Going to run this over night and see what the diagnostic log has to say about the meta for this game

A genetic algorithm in action, finding the optimal strategies in my social media management sim game. Kind of hypnotic #indiedev #gamedeb

Experimenting with genetic algorithms to optimise games This bot plays Social Media Manager 1000x faster than a human to try and find the best strategy. Hopefully this will help to balance the game and make it more fun. #gamedev #indiedev timothyjgraham.itch.io/social-media...

Game-breaking bug fixes squashed, updated versions for web and Windows are freely available now

Guess which night the game jam deadline was 😂 #indiegames #indiedev

Update: players are reporting a bug in the shop on day 6 that freezes the game. Fix coming later today - sorry! #gamedev #indiegames

The Windows version is now updated with minor bug fixes and difficulty balancing (thank you to those who alerted me to the game breaking difficulty on the higher levels!) Free to download and play on the web!

Excited to announce my first ever published game, for the @halcyonfrequency.bsky.social gamejam. ”Social Media Manager", a shady deskjob simulator with #roguelike elements. I hope you enjoy it and would love to hear any feedback #indiegames #indiedev timothyjgraham.itch.io/social-media...

Redo of world generation screens! Some polish still needed, but hopefully a bit more consistent overall. Oh GUI dev what a rabbit hole you are #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

neat! wait for it

Demo is up and free to play. Already getting some very nice feedback and critique. Keep at it all you brilliant indiedevs out there👏 Theralite: #turnbased #roguelike store.steampowered.com/app/3445690/... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #godot #pixelart #demo #comingsoon #gamedev
