Goblins! #gamedev #indiedev

Decided to send the very first prototype of a building system to the artist. This was the result. We have a LONG way to go. #gamdev #indiedev

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Check out the progress of our first 3 days of #jamsepticeye compared to the final version! Try Darkest Deal here! v v v onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

We made a game for #jamsepticeye! Really came down to the wire on this one. onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal #indiedev #gamedev #gamejam

Oh boy! That was a roller coaster. Just finished our game for the #jamsepticeye game jam. After 5 days we did it! You can play in browser, so no need to download anything. Let us know what you think! onyxprism.itch.io/darkest-deal

Top Gnome is now officially out of Early Access! Haven't been too active on here for (mostly) this reason. Took way longer than it had any right to, but that's just how it goes in gamedev I guess? Anyways, check out our game below! store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/...

from someone who also lived through high control. please head these warnings. #tyrany #control youtu.be/X_D-yW8v0Jo?...

all i can say, is that i'm extremely disappointed in the US right now. we are a nation of immigrants and inclusion, at least we should be. but we continue to prove we are not. we should be getting better not going backwards.

Been playing around with making art in rust, its a fun challenge with the limitations. #darksouls3

Elden Ring spinoff standalone co-op!!!!??? #fromsoftware #eldenring I am beyond excited right now.

and before I go to sleep tonight, I still have plenty of time open for developer interviews on game-wisdom, if you're interested in talking about your game or game dev, and I'm always happy to interview teachers about games in the classroom as well. forms.gle/TLcT6saYBpqy...

For any new followers, my name is Josh and I cover game design and indie games either through my writings, books, or with videos and developer interviews on my channel youtube.com/c/game-wisdom. And there are links to all my important stuff on my profile.

I have a small design rant I want to spend a minute talking about, as it goes with a conversation I just had with @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social on the subject of studying games. From time to time, I see people talking about games that had an overnight success like Vampire Survivors or Palworld...

If you are looking for an alternative to Photoshop, and don't want to deal with subscriptions Affinity is having their 50% off sale right now. I highly recommend and it holds up for professional work. #affinityphoto affinity.serif.com/en-us/

Some older #pixelart The alchemist's table.

Why @powerwashsim.bsky.social does this not turn on when its cleaned? 😭

Awesome video essay. But I would argue that counter media won't ever work, because the appeal is the violence. That's where the "cool" lives. The people that identify with the media that the Youtuber talks about, would never find someone going to therapy and (thread below) youtu.be/3VzGdo1IDdc?...

A Beagle. Get it? #art #creaturedesign

Since I got a couple of new followers I want to share this doc with game job search resources again that I'm maintaining. Just in case anyone is looking rn. Please share this around and let me know if you have any additions or feedback! docs.google.com/document/u/0... #GameJobs #GameDevJobs

helo blueguy (🐈), here is NFG so far #godotengine #gamedev #howdoiusehashtags

I looked up from drawing and misread this as "feeling butterfly." I'm ok with this.

This game and dev deserves more attention, its really good. @hanesto.bsky.social #gamedev #game #hiddengem

I made a first attempt at a devlog! Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD6C... #gamdev #indiedev

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches. (This is generally a good thing- it's going to remove the ML- generated cruft from circulation 🤘) #TTRPGs

Sleep is not something I have done yet. Have a giggle worm 🪱

I don't know how many people have this problem as well, but I really struggle with expressing my self in writing. Always end up putting my foot in my mouth somehow. Talking and art is so much easier for expression. 😩

Today. Turns out releasing a game is exhausting. Time to go play powerwasher simulator until I pass out. #gamedev

Did you know? Top Gnome works really well on the Steam Deck! #gamedev #steamdeck #game #indiedev #topgnome steamcommunity.com/games/249908...

Top Gnome early access released now! #indiedev #Gamedev #topgnome #game Special thanks to all our friends, old, new and future. store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/...

Top Gnome is officially out in Early Access! It's been a long road, still tons of work ahead of us but this is a huge milestone for us and our studio @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social ! Check out the game and try out the demo here! v v v store.steampowered.com/app/2499080/... #indiegame #gamedev

This is such a wild concept. lol I downloaded the demo and put about 20 minutes into it. Finally made it to wave 5. Gonna watch this one to see how it develops.

We are now requiring asset page creators to tag their use of generative AI in their work. You can learn more here: itch.io/t/4309690/ge... On your dashboard you can find a bulk tagging dialog if you have pages that need tagging.

Made my own block list that I will keep working on as time goes by. Blocks MAGA, and transphobes mostly. But will include scammers, trolls, crypto/AI. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Gamers: Why don't the dev's listen to our feedback and make all the changes we want ?!? The game if we implemented all their feedback:

Code names 😛 @exttsectorz.bsky.social names things funny. #game #gamedev #indiedev #topgnome

R.I.P box_2.png You don't fit in the shop anymore.

I’m the author of the document 🥳🥳🥳 I’ve posted on my page too but in Neil’s defense - we didn’t know the other had a Bluesky account 😂

Please check out and follow @bigesqbae.bsky.social she is amazing

LINEUP ANNOUNCED! Virtual Indie Booth will feature the following 5 games @16bitnights.bsky.social @eatpantgames.bsky.social @rasterrouser.bsky.social @markuskoepke.bsky.social @onyxprismstudio.bsky.social Join us LIVE on YouTube/Twitch Wednesday 9pm UK Tell a friend #gamedev #indiedev

Here is a free template/guide for indie developers signing their first deal. I've seen many awful deals happen because developers didn't understand what some things meant. Hopefully, this helps. Feel free to download and share on your platforms. This doc isnt legal advice. shorturl.at/70gXm

Layering things for the shop animations is nuts. Its kinda funny how the shop screen is the single most involved thing in the game, yet the most rushed through thing by players. (NO micro-transactions, just in-game earned currency) #gamedev #game #indiedev #topgnome

I can't stand adobe. Every time I try to use it again I think to myself, "it can't be as bad as I remember." Yes, yes it is. So back to painstaking animation in Affinity photo. (no its not meant for animation at all)

Anyone ever experience an insane game breaking bug during development and then you're never able to recreate it again? Happened to us once. And right before we released our game's demo, too.

Time to jump on the bandwagon too 😀 Some things I do and like: 🌱Nature 🎹Musician 🎨Artist 🎮Gamer 👩‍💻Game dev 🎤Foley 💙Very left 💙Fonts 🍄Mushrooms 🐀Love all animals 🏳️‍🌈Feminist and Pan Much more to put here, but my brain went blank. 🤷 #promosky

Remember to check your Bools it just might be the bug you're looking for.

One of the cool things about making everything in house, is that you can make any font you need! Saves a lot of money on licensing. #fonts #gamedev #indiedev

Rule of thumb for game development time: If you think it'll take less than 3 years, you're wrong. If you think it'll take more than 3 years, you're screwed.

Just when you think a bug was fixed, it comes back... 😒 I am good at breaking our game, its great but sucks at the same time.
