My game making the big bucks already #screenshotsaturday #retro #nes #unity #gamedev #indiedev

I hit 20% beat rate in all beatable games I own ⭐

Turkish pop music is so funny, mfers can be talking about the worst painful love story imaginable but the song sounds like you're flying through thousand rainbows on a unicorn while Gandalf is breakdancing on a nearby cloud. I love it.

Smol niceties

Fan art for Cakez77's tower defense game Tangy TD that's coming out soon. Wishlist it on Steam, he needs all the support: store.steampowered.com/app/2245620/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Sketching the intro for Glaide. Sorta kinda NES style #screenshotsaturday

Tired stream. Working on my tower/base defense game Glaide. www.twitch.tv/nettleflap

Ahhh I wanna just grind drawing and painting, I can feel that I'm improving but ahhhh I wanna develop games and release them too😖 It will never end will it?

Glaide has 3 different gladiators now: Knight, barbarian, and ranger. (Placeholder music from opengameart by @sketchylogic.bsky.social, placeholder font by @somepx.com) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #unity #retro #nes

Last night's dream, I was shamed for not playing Splatoon ever by two girls. I said "but I probably played games that you haven't played" in my defense and for some reason went on counting "Myst, Atlantis, Broken Sword, Monkey Island..."

Cups, still life

gladiator army

Progress! Can buy and place gladiators now. (Music and font are placeholder) #indiedev #gamedev #unity

the terrible beast - portrait of a grey squirrel When I find a photo with weird lighting in my camera roll I am cursed with the compulsion to make a study of it. Fur is kind of fun to paint tho.

I like how civilization is bunch of black rectangles in Crystalis (1990, NES) intro.

I've got a 19.7% beat rate on all the beatable games I own.

Main menu assets in the engine. It's not final but we're getting there. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #unity

WIP main menu progress for Glaide #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

I'm looking at Glaide (my other small game) as a break from BunBun: www.twitch.tv/nettleflap

First still life of the year

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

One of the biggest mistakes I made in the architecture of my code was to depend on visuals (in this case it's DOTween sequences) for my execution order. This made it very difficult to navigate through the order of things happening and therefore implementing something like Undo or Input Queueing.

Bon appétit

Short dev stream. My goal is to make levels beatable, working on the win condition system. www.twitch.tv/nettleflap

Did a 2025 recap of everything I have done during the year on paper and my resolutions are: - draw and paint more, gotta beat 2025 - go with solo projects and keep involvements in team projects to minimum - release at least two small games this year - keep exercising, take breaks from sitting

Have been procrastinating on this for a while with other tasks but finally started sketching the final design of the main menu. The background will also be used in the levels. I'm also considering a fluffy shader for the clouds.

All the pushing and shifting and conveying is bug-free! (As far as my tests went) Although I decided not to make the editor available in the main menu. I didn't like the options I had for solving the situation where multiple conveyors conveyed to the same tile. I'll just avoid that in level design.

I'm really happy that this whole thing works at all but the bugs are not over yet. The combinations of pushing, conveying, and shifting things are simply too many.

So close to making conveyor tiles behave. I completely rewrote how they convey their contents.

Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand

Due to high number of bugs popping up regarding passing ingredients between tiles I'm working on a payload system. Time to genericize.

For a change I looked at gamepad & keyboard navigation of the main menu.

Fixed 4 bugs today related to burger not conveying on conveyor tiles, sticky tiles duping ingredients, and player input not being re-enabled.

Now that all basic tile functionality works, these following few days will be about edge cases and bug fixing. Meanwhile maybe I'll share stuff from the other project if I can spare any time on it.

Shift tiles are back too #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #unity

Tostchu reached 6000 sold copies! It is great feeling to be able to reach this many people with our tiny game. Thank you all who bought it <3

egg loop is back do the egg loop

Wrestling with the conveyor tiles in the next chapter of my puzzle game's development www.twitch.tv/nettleflap

Once chaining of conveyor tiles worked perfectly (as can be seen in the gif) but refactoring that followed the level editor coding broke it. Most likely it's about the conveying order. This is what I'll fix this evening.

It plays! #gamedev #indiedev #puzzle #madewithunity

Sunday chill gamedev-ing www.twitch.tv/nettleflap

"Indie" is difficult to define. If you say without publisher/external funding then Hades II and Silksong are the only ones. If you say low budget then Ball x Pit and Blue Prince probably. But low budget = indie is a bit weird, where do you even draw the line?

Level editor is done so it is time to rework how the game levels open www.twitch.tv/nettleflap
