Well this looks interesting!! I shall be firing up the demo later 😁

Just stumbled upon this and it looks just my kind of thing. Will be checking out the demo later.

Love the look of this character. That's, what has drawn me in to check this one out. Realizing now as a #gamedev I should be analysing exactly what makes me, and others, click the link. Any suggestions?

Maybe, I just clicked on the "Release Demo" button for The Abbess Garden and maybe you can play it now 😱 store.steampowered.com/app/3873090/... (it's a cozy and historical gardening game ;) ) #indiedev #cozygame #gamedev

I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Great looking #Godot project here. Will be following this one closely.

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

Ready to show peeps an updated Super Spelling Ducks at Nottingham Games Festival!

Time to get back on the horse! This weekend I'll be at Nottingham Games Festival (www.nottsvge.com) showing off some new modes in Super Spelling Ducks!

Oooh...pretty!

Nice! Not in need of vast grassy planes myself right now, but very interested to understand the techniques behind this.

new developments in the land of Super Spelling Ducks - spawners and conveyor belts!

Love the idea of this one. Going to be checking it out later.

Interesting insight into designing an adventure game.

I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine

I need to work on my tooling, so I'm always keen to see what other #godot users have done. Looking forward to playing with this one.

I have zero context on this, but I just love the animation style. Hopefully there will be more of this soon.

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I am in the process of reimagining my #indiegame with a simpler more abstract graphical style. Something more along the lines of #monumentvalley. The main reason for this is readability. There is too much going on in the current demo that distracts from the puzzles.

I have been experimenting with using synplant 2 as a #sounddesign tool for my #indiegame. It is capable of making the kind of organic otherworldly sounds I need. Also the plant vibe kinda fits with #shorticulture. #indiedev #solodev

Looks like a useful tool for all us #godot devs.

Exciting news! Many of you asked, so now we officially have a curator page on Steam! 🎉 Follow us there to get our recommendations and prepare for the next Steam sale! thinkygames.com/news...

I was lucky enough to meet some of the amazing team behind @debugmag.com at #developbrighton yesterday. I am now the proud owner of the first 10 issues (digital - I don't do physical media) and have taken out a subscription. I would urge any #indiedev or #indiegame fan to check them out.

Just arrived at Develop. Hanging out at the bar.

I too feel that way sometimes. but seeing you get there gives me hope 😁

I will be getting up very early tomorrow and heading down to Brighton for develop. If you wanna say hi, I'm always happy to meet a fellow #indiedev or just anyone enthusiastic about stuff. Will have my #steamdeck so happy to demo my #indiegame #shorticulture to anyone. Just look out for this hat!

Oh my dog, it's full of rats! Making a #indiegame is an odyssey filled with perils! Chief amongst those perils for this #indiedev is an inability to type accurately.

Am I the only #indiedev who hates admin? Thought not. But there comes a point where you have to take a day off working on your #indiegame and catch up on that mountain of paperwork. Regrettably, today is that day...

These block-pushing puzzles where the walls close in on you are very tense! www.youtube.com/watc...

This looks fun!

I am looking into similar techniques to allow me to draw loads of plants efficiently. Great to see another godoter treading similar ground.

Another huge influence for me has been the amazing #scavengersreign. Love Levis gradual assimilation with the alien plantlife and resurrection as a new biotech lifeform. #sci-fi #animation #robots #plants

I could just watch the patterns to be honest. Very satisfying.

This is divisive I know (happy to have the debate) but I use AI as visualisation tool. The will be no AI generated content in game. It just allows me to iterate ideas quickly before designing assets. This was a mock-up of my plant-walker drone. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #midjourney

#cambridgegamemakers meet-up tonight!! They are a welcoming and inspiring group of people. If you are a #indiedev in the Cambridge area then why not come along to the Blue Moon this evening and meet us all. I will of course be demoing my #indiegame #shorticulture to anyone who is interested 😁

Whenever I show #shorticulture to another #indiedev I almost always get asked - #Unity or #Unreal? Is it wrong that I feel quite so smug when I reply #godot actually. #godotengine #madeingodot #indiegame

These guys have a great game. Not too late to help them make it even better if that's your jam!

In all honesty this film is not very good 😆 But the idea of domed gardens in space with robots tending them really struck a chord with me and has been a theme I have used in a few projects over the last few years. #silentrunning #scifi #robots #gardens #shorticulture

In less than ten days, I will be running Thinky Puzzle Game Jam 5. In previous years this has been a lot of fun and a source of many excellent games. It's not too late to sign up! :-) itch.io/jam/thinky-p...

This sokoban has a bunch of meta puzzles, secrets, and (of course) penguins! www.youtube.com/watc...

The demo for Kaizen: A Factory Story is now live on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2275490 This is the first demo that I have made for one of our games since... 2011? I've been operating under the assumption that Bulletstorm killed the PC game demo, but apparently that's not true anymore.

Yap, here is a gameplay of energy splitter... maybe I should show more, but these are spoilers for gamers. I showed a few objects, and there will be about >50+, I don't remember how many I described in the Game Design Document, for now I made about 80% prototypes #scifi #puzzle #games #indiegame

Small prototype of a deferred renderer in Godot 4.4. I managed to implement everything directly in GDScript using the built-in RenderingDevice API—no engine recompilation needed. The amount of features accessible this way is just impressive. #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev

Today I've been working on music for my #indiegame. I set myself the goal of roughing out three different themes. No idea if I will use any of the pieces I wrote today, but if nothing else it was a good exercise for getting back into music production - it's been a while. #indiedev #gamemusic #reaper
