If you want to avoid this all together as Youtube fucking SUCKS, there's always old reliable: ocremix.org

She cruisin'! So cute

idk what it is about this key art but it's one of my favorites from the past year. It captures a lot of what makes people click games without looking like it was designed to make people click it. It is authentically good w/o minmaxing clickability. Anyway I wish I could explain why I like art lol.

I always tell engineers: Never try to make your code reusable before you know how you'll reuse it. If you just write good/clean code, then making it reusable is trivial when the need arises. Example: interactive leaves -> interactive hair. Easy. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

What other gamedev podcast can you hear such gems as "why are there so many flaps?!" in an episode that's supposed to be talking about the Sims? Go check it out already.

No one does it quite like @majormcdoom.bsky.social Every update is like "huh, I didn't know that was possible!" and there's like a hundred updates a day lmao. Wild.

I have to work on a new gameplay trailer so once again I have to chant my mantra: "Go easy on the transitions, just make the video say what it needs to say. Go easy on the..."

Was having an issue with a Brazilian Portuguese translation in Godot rendering the linebreak in a label and all I could think was "is this nonbinary cats with dwarfism??" from that #Mewgenics bug a while back 😂

Do I need it? Not necessarily... Is it amazing and we should all be supporting Christophe's efforts here? Yes. So go buy it whether ya need it or not!

Too locked in to post today apparently lol. But my 48-hour #LD59 Compo jam is complete! No AI (yes, including code!), no assets, just me and what few folds remain on my brain. Not thrilled with the outcome, but feels okay for a ground-up game in 2 days... redeyegamesllc.itch.io/redeye-ld59

Progress on #LD59 ! You can now place bets and bribe riders to try harder or throw the race using a pot of money that will fill up as you win. Next up I gotta add firing the starting gun again to startle horses who aren't locked in (shown by a lock icon appears when they're racing). Gambling!

Working on a horf racing game for #LD59 ! You give the signal, and the horses are off to the races... Once you're done bribing the jockeys to help boost your odds of winning of course... So far so fun! Jam ends tomorrow night, lots to do!

Ludum Dare current soundtrack on repeat:

530am is a good time to start #LD59, right?? I _think_ I have an idea nailed down...

When I saw that #LD59 had a theme "Signal," I thought I might skip it... But after a gummy and a shower, I'm LOCKED IN on a horrible idea that I kinda like. Will I like it when I wake up tomorrow? Who cares we're compo'ing baybeee. I'll try to post progress here but I forget a lot for short jams...

Kingdoms of the Dump is on sale now as part of the Backed By Backers Fest! We are hard at work on our 1.1 update but you can grab us now st 20% off! store.steampowered.com/app/2159270/...

I guess I'm too new to the #LDJam scene to understand if there's any nuance or context I'm missing, but at face value everything feels above board and reasonable with how @distraction.engineer is handling it?? I'm so excited to try the compo again while it's around in its current form!

My favorite game I've played in 2026 so far. Go check it out! I am so bad at it and I refuse to let that stop my fun 😌

Wish you could make colliders in Godot this quickly? Want to add pre-configured nodes with their resources already unique and ready-to-tweak? Just make your own prefab scenes with this script at the root: pastebin.com/NyU9AZbR #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

When we were in Japan, we met some pre-teen #GodotEngine developers in the mountains of Shizuoka. I talked with them for a few hours about developing games, and it was a highlight of an amazing trip. With a friend's help, I am wrapping up my Japanese localization for Miney Golf so they can play it!

commission my friend PHIL he is epic

Well I know which one I'm gonna support 😬 Looking forward to the real one!

Tween Guide v2.3.0 is out in early access for very cool supporters!! It includes new pages like: 🟡Demo: Floating text (damage numbers) 🟡Demo: Pixel Bunny Power Up 🔴Tip: Custom interpolation www.patreon.com/posts/early-... (public/out of early access in 30 days) #Godot #GameDev #Indie

i'm never consciously trying to make zelda-like characters, the look is just burned intractably into my mind due to countless hours of LTTP/OoT/MM as an impressionable child

Almost done with the pixel bunny demo! It will be available in v2.3.0, releasing in about a month! #Godot #Animation #UI #GameDev #PixelArt

We would like to thank @megacrit.com for another year of sponsorship. This time, upgrading to Corporate Platinum! We were supposed to post this earlier but we were all busy playing Slay the Spire 2 🫡 fund.godotengine.org

You may not like it but this is what peak character design performance looks like.

just published my walk animation templates on itch.io 🥳 there's a free version and others with some extras (ignore my level 999 designer skills) rathaelos.itch.io/isometric-ch...

Went to play a round of Rocket League with the boys. Epic says servers are fully operational, no incidents reported. Every downtime site says it's down lol. Trillion dollar company or whatever. Go play Miney Golf instead, its multiplayer isn't a vibe coded shitshow! (It's a human coded shitshow!)

I pushed the Miney Golf demo live last night and this morning had a bug report from the form I embedded in the menu! Say what you will of Gamers™️ but it's a nonzero effort to report bugs and when people do it makes me very happy! Bug's fixed and new version's pushed, btw 😆

my thoughts on the demo for magic life sim, Songs of Glimmerwick, which will be available for everyone to play tomorrow ✨

Currently obsessed with House of Necrosis when solo and StS2 & Super Battle Golf with buddies. Just played through Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times, some of Space Warlord Baby Trading Sim, & Tomb of the Bloodletter. Got Demonschool and others in the queue. The #IndieGames space is SO GOOD rn!!

Hey everyone!! Go check out the free demo for Miney Golf! This #SoloDev project is #MadeInGodot and features online multiplayer for up to 8 friends 😱 It's available on PC, 🍏, and 🐧 and includes a link to wishlist the full game (HINT). Go play #IndieGames!! store.steampowered.com/app/4266140/...

Fighting the masculine urge to tweak my custom physics the day before my demo is released 😂 Just #SoloDev things... Never be your own PM...

So many golf games!! We love those!!

Probably not the best use of #ScreenShotSaturday for folks actually perusing for cool gifs and stuff, but I'm pretty happy with this screengrab of my Steamworks page for Miney Golf! Check it out Monday! #SoloDev #GodotEngine #GameDev

Another maintenance release? No foolin'! 🤡 Featuring well over 100 regression fixes, #GodotEngine 4.6.2 is our most stable iteration yet. All 4.6 users are encouraged to upgrade to 4.6.2! godotengine.org/article/main...

I submitted my positive review and YOU should too! Also play this game it rules.

I know I fawn over @godotsteam.com a bunch, but c'mon it took me all of 1 fiscal Earth minute to add a "open steam to add to wishlist" button to the title page of my upcoming demo (it's SO CLOSE) because it's just so... Good! Godotsteam is just so good for #SoloDev !!

The plugin is already in the AssetLib!! Since the plugin stores the settings and cheatsheets globally, you can add it to any project in like 3 clicks, directly in the engine!! #Godot #GameDev #Tool

4x4 in a Furniture Store has a new logo!

struggling a bit atm because my mum suddenly became disabled last month. i haven't been able to work consistently because of looking after her, i'm basically a carer now. so i'm thinking of opening a couple commissions soon. if you're interested please let me know! ✉ [email protected]

My read on this is that the techniques will _probably_ get better as tech improves, but you'll see less of it (or decreasing quality) broadly as the companies developing and peddling it stop letting folks use it for free. What I think will be left is exclusively AAA genAI that passes as "okay" art.
