Animated the environment to sketch, model and texture itself in real-time… ▫️ #indiegame #gamedev

It costs $2.99 to buy this from a 26 year old solo developer ⚔️ #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #SOULSurvivor

The joys of game development… 😌

I DON’T want to live in my own game 👀👀 #gamedev #3d #indiedev

Just goes to show if you put your mind to something & you’re patient with yourself, you’ll eventually achieve it. 😌

This is hot! 🔥🔥🔥

After 1 month of: - coding,👨🏾‍💻 - proofreading code,👨🏾‍💻 - fixing code,👨🏾‍💻 - rewriting code,👨🏾‍💻 - optimising code👨🏾‍💻 - dreaming about code👨🏾‍💻 etc. I finally completed all the final polishes for the player & enemies ▫️ Now all that's left for the game is to do the final polishes of Chapter [0]'s level sections… 🏁

Nothing beats this feeling when cleaning up your game’s code… . . #gamedev #indiegame #b3d #indiedev

These are some of the smoothest 10 seconds of gameplay I've seen in a long time.

It’s crazy how much the way you code can change in just 1 year. Going through polishing code I wrote 1 year ago for ‘[][][][][] [][] [][𝑥][][][][][][][]’ and wow, I’m genuinely a new human being at this point. . . #gamedev #indiegame #b3d #indiedev

Why you should always trust the process 😌👨🏾‍💻: . . #gamedev #b3d #indiegame #indiedev #SWORDOFSYMPHONY

Seeing the work of @stephenddungu.bsky.social makes me want to learn Blender. I can code, I can code video games, I can not make 3D assets for the life of me lol

@stephenddungu.bsky.social is a beast! I can't wait to play this game. #game #videoGames #indieGame

I've been following this project for years and its been a fuggin delight! So happy to see the creator here on BSky, he's been a real inspiration for this journey!
