A lot of what we create comes from lived experience and real trauma so Memorial Day means a lot to our tiny team. Be safe, everyone.

2 days to go till the #BufferAPI drops. We have no connection to them. Just a legit good app that has helped us manage socials. The free tier lets you schedule up to 10 posts ahead, which is plenty for us.

I have been using the browser version of buffer to schedule posting trailers to multiple platforms for awhile now... but my dev nerd brain craves an API. 3 days to go till the #BufferAPI drops.

Gutterspace has been a long project, and I'm 100% good with that. If we were commercially minded about it maybe would have a finished game by now, but not the one we want. In a world of slop I'm proud we are taking the time to say what we have to say #GameDev #Art #CreativeProcess #WIPWednesday

🚨 Wishlist Wednesday 🚨 A co-op poetry adventure about a two-headed skeleton trying to stay in sync when everything feels broken. If that sounds like your kind of weird, wishlisting the game helps us more than you know 🖤 #WishlistWednesday #IndieGame #GodotEngine #SteamGames #CoopGame #Gaming

Learning way more about #godot3D this morning. Not much of an issue with the transition from 2D, aside from materials. Since we will be creating the materials, normal map, etc ourselves so I want to really get it. please share #tutorials!

Started making a pinball minigame for Gutterspace and immediately got ADHD-locked into flipper physics for hours. And now I want to add more 3D to the main game. #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #pinball #DevLog

I think the flies are trying to show me something 🤔 #WishlistWednesday #gamedev #indiedev

Programmers 2022 vs 2026 #ai #artificialintelligence #news #tech #vibecoding #programmers #programming #code

It may seem small to most folks, but getting to 70 wishlists on my cozy puzzle game, A Bit Dicey, feels really good :) Super proud of it, the grind continues! If it's your jam, here's the Steampage: store.steampowered.com/app/4551800/... #gamedev #indiedev #puzzlegame

Every new idea in Gutterspace comes to life like this: @jamessmock.bsky.social sketches some absolutely cool new little creature/mechanic/thing on their iPad → then somehow turn it into functioning code #gamedev #indiedev #godot #gamedevelopment #indiegame #coopgame #programming #GameDevLog

This smashed parking lot gum looks like LSP, and brought me a lot of joy this morning!

The artist behind Gutterspace @jamessmock.bsky.social also decorated and hand painted the murals for this themed airbnb in Salem MA!

Intimidated by the idea of making a trailer for #RisingTide4 because it needs publisher-level polish??? It really doesn't People connect with authentic ideas and seeing someone genuinely care about what they’re making. A rough trailer is still a trailer. Throw your game into the tide 🌊 #GaveDev

How is everyone else handling #godot save/load systems when you don’t need to save world transforms or live scene state? JSON or Resources file? Our levels always boot fresh, so we only care about overall game progression, unlocks, flags, collectables, etc. #gamedev #csharp #indiedev

These cute little robots help Sloth run I.T. in the world of Diabolocracy. Tag yourself! I'm feeling pretty Botnet right now. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev #roguelite #turnbased

Colette is working on a WHAT?! From last month's Chit-Chat & Tidbits w/ Mary Jo & Chris! Join us TONIGHT at 8pm ET exclusively in The Dumb Clubhouse for an all-new episode! dumb-industries.com/clubhouse

Just applied to be the new Linda at @dumb-industries.com... kinda freaking out with how excited I am.

I'm... Ancient!??? 😭🤣

The ugly prototype is done, running on its own power on battery with everything fitting into a case. Next is making it pretty!

Switching my Godot project from C# (my most proficient language) to GDScript. Talk me out of it. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #csharp #gdscript

#Indiedev question: for #Godot devs shipping to consoles are you using GDScript or C# in your pipeline? Which one actually made your life easier when it came time to port? Would love specifics from shipped projects if you’re willing to share. #gamedev #GDScript #csharp #indiegames

#GameDev question Have you found its worth building a finite state machine for animation & gameplay logic, or do you mostly lean on built-in animation state machines (like #Godot AnimationTree) and add code to the controller logic as needed. #indiedev

Beyondo is now on our RedBubble shop!

We decided to use RedBubble to start selling Gutterspace merch. It was a hard choice, but a poem notebook with Tittle and Dot on the cover seemed like the right place to start. www.redbubble.com/i/notebook/G...

We ranked in the top 200 of games for @blueoceangames.bsky.social #RisingTide3 which is even better than we did last two times before. Feeling top 100 for the next one! If you want to get funding for that indie game you are working on sign up! Don't be intimidated! blueoceangames.com?ref=cncj8xig

I’ve been working all morning on a lightweight flocking behavior for the next update, using the new Wakakakao as a test subject. The way predators chase their prey needed improved logic. It was also a necessary step for implementing the upcoming passive and aggressive swarms. #gamedev

6am start. Blinds open, coffee on the desk, nobody else awake yet. Spent the first hour refactoring a component architecture. Nobody asks for this work. Nobody sees it. The game just gets harder to break. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

6 months ago I dropped out of school and took a deal to make a game after throwing a concept trailer into a competition. Today, our silly FPS game Cardboard Cowboy hit 1k wishlists on Steam! Here's to the next thousand pardners 🌵🥳 #indiedev #indiegame #FPS #wishlistwednesday

We have had a running streak of wishlists everyday since voting started in #RisingTide3. I'm glad @blueoceangames.bsky.social put the Steam links on voting pages. if you have an #IndieGame in development I'd highly recommend trying out the competition. Even if you don't win it can be beneficial.

When playing certain games, you gotta ask yourself Am I enjoying this or am I making ice cubes? You deserve better than ice cubes.

We literally use screen shake now... am now experimenting with frame stoping.

Spending the day creating art and games with the love of my life.

The literal second I liked this I got a notification about a new wishlist for Gutterspace... I'm choosing to take it as a good omen! Also be sure to check out Relic Abyss! Ive been following the #DevLog journey and am very excited to see such a positive outcome for it.

Spending the morning voting for the top 50 game trailers. winner can get up to 300,000 in game funding, You can vote to! blueoceangames.com/challenge/vo...

Sorry gang, running late on this cuz I'm still cooking! 😅 Worst case, we might send it a day before release or on release day. But the form will still be open until then so if you haven't yet, you can still submit for it! ✨

The leaderboard on my game was inspired by the early internet, and getting some cloud experience is probably useful right?? 💜👾 #gamedev #indiedev #webdev
