I love game dev, the endless series of interesting challenges. I just tweaked a library I was using to do splines, so I could change the materials. When it worked, the feeling was sublime, I love game dev. #GameDev #IndieDev #Programming #Unreal #chatgpt (👀 in comments for a counter example)

Having fun building tracks now I have it working! (Trying to get to the point where I can design levels with tracked and free flight sections...ooohhh) 🛹 🚀 🏁✈️ #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiegames #indiedevs

Track integration is coming along nicely, trying out using alternate routes in levels. To The Skies! - Wishlist on steam store.steampowered.com/app/2930600/... #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #indiedev 🏄 🛹 🚀 🏁

Yay! Can now make stuff stick to the track! Blissfull relief at no more fiddling around, can just slap things on and they go somewhere sensible when you drag them around! Actual time saved versus doing it by hand... debatable 😀, still learned some cool tricks! #IndieDev #gameDev #racing 🏄 🚀 🏁

Back from my first Edinburgh Festival. Amazing experience, utterly unlike anything I have seen before. Saw comedy, improv, sketch, solo shows, people I had heard of, people I hadn't. Real Life is gonna be weird! Will get more sleep though! Looking forward to next year already. #edfest #edfringe

blueoceangames.com/challenge Second blue ocean challenge is up - if you are working on a game, you can submit a trailer and try to win. (They also have a track for people with just an idea). Cash prizes, and a chance to interview for investment! #gameDev #IndieDev @blueoceangames.bsky.social

bsky.app/profile/byte... This game has a similar vibe to what I am going for (in terms of tracks/flying and tricks). Looks cool, love the sky hook mechanic. (On steam as well). Looking forward to giving it a try later! #IndieDev #GameDev #FollowFriday #ArcadeRacer #Gaming #Videogames #Arcade

Double Decker found at bottom of bag, not even a single decker anymore, sad times #Snacks #DoubleDecker

I AM AN IDIOT! I thought I had 3 wishlists, and this was causing a certain amount of constination. Turns out I was looking in the wrong place - I have 54! I will now be organising my retirement party shortly after launch. #BuyingAYacht #GameDev #SoloDev #Idiot #RTFM #IndieDev #PEBKAC #Steam

Every now and then I see a video from the people making this, and I think it looks very cool. store.steampowered.com/app/1937070/... I have always loved mechs (big stompy mechs, not so much turbo speedy mechs). #IndieDev #GameDev #Mechs

I was just grabbing some bits from an asset pack (rocks, road textures and such). While I was doing this, I wondered ... what are those cloud shadows? I discovered a whole wonderland of trickery. #IndieDev #GameDev #Unreal #LearningByPoking #DiscoveryFunTimes

Spent all day rewriting my flight controls to use physics based rotation, rather than arcade style fixed rotation. It's getting there, and my brain is fried - but now it can do surface tracking as a fun side effect - genuinely sooo exciteds!!! yayyyy! #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev #Flying #Racing

bsky.app/profile/psyp... Cool looking retro racer I stumbled upon! #IndieDev #Racing #SadlyLackingInFlyingSurfboards

Just getting random praise for bravery from ChatGPT I think its sycophantic urges are getting a bit much tbh. #IndieDev #GameDev #SoloDev #MassiveBalls #AI #ChatGPT

Interesting thing... just switched my board collision from a capsule (sausage) to two balls, and it is much smoother when sliding along the landscape. I totally hadn't expected it to get rid of weird hitching that I was getting, but it has! #GameDev #IndieDev #WokeAt5amWillRegretLater #SoloDev

1000 musicians playing 1 song, amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JozA... ps.. This was to ask to Foo Fighters to go to do a concert in Italy. pps... They did. #Magical #Motivation #Inspiration #LetsRock #FooFighters

Just made a little plan of action for my saturday. Did the socials stuff then got to the classic "do some work on teh game". So I guess I better do that ... by making a post on the fact that I am doing that .... #GameDev #IndieDev #PuttingTheProInCroastination

I guess this means I'm triple A now! #GameDev #IndieDev #HorseArmorStartedIt

Wahey! Clippys back! Now, if clippy mk2 had said "it looks like you are avoiding making levels by adding features instead, would you like me to sigh with exasperation" < That would be useful, I would pay for that. #GameDev #PowerpointWasntEvenOpen #AIsGoneWild #IndieDev #Copilot

I reckon they are hiring some graphic designers to train the AI on how fleshy humans usually use monitors. #AIGoneWrong #GameDev #Developers #ProofReading

Cheeky favour to ask in 3,2,1... Anyone able to confirm if my first tiktok video works? (I just created an account, and uploaded my first video, figured I should probably get on there). www.tiktok.com/@totheskies_... (I appreciate I should be creating videos in vertical format for tiktok!)

Working down my task list, just got to "Make boost more woomphy" Ok, Me in the past - I shall get right on that :) #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

I really liked The Running Man book, which the Arnie film was only very loosely based on. (Stephen King wrote it as Richard Backman) Trailer looks more upbeat than I remember the book, but I haven't read it in 20 years. Would love a Long Walk film! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4LW... #Film #RunningMan

What are peoples thoughts on releasing early stage demos on steam? (Kinda like early access, but for a demo). Is Itch the better platform for that kind of thing? (More in comments) #IndyDev,#GameDev,#SoloDev,#ArcadeRacer,#Gaming

youtube.com/shorts/GrN4S... Cascadeur - such a great piece of software #indieDev,#3d,#ICantDoThisButWishICould

My initial excitement at my first two wishlists has tapered off somewhat... I now find myself in the phase known as "The lagoon of despair" 😆😆😆 Race is on to be the fourth wishlist! #indiedev,#CanIRetireNow,#Unreal,#GameDev #HeresYourCoolGlassOfRealityJuice
