My wife’s journey from quick sketch to what she’s calling “first pass” for a tree asset for our game. So happy with this! #indiegamedev #pixelart

I checked in over at the other app for the first time in well over a year, and man, it’s a ghost town regarding people I used to follow.

I haven’t used Bluesky at all for promoting our DnD stream. But we’re very early into Rime of the Frostmaiden, it’s going to be a chill fishing episode, and we go live in 2.5 hours from now. Come join us over at twitch.tv/GettingDicey #kiwirpg #actualplay

Added some basic bestiary functionality. Here I show undiscovered monsters, close the bestiary, and use a debug press to unlock the goblin. #kiwigamedev #indiegamedev

Just trying to get some basic stuff in before we finalise the characters #indiedev #pixelanimation #gamedev

A simple but much needed visual for the pre-battle stats screen: an indicator of how much damage you might take. It’s there in number form, but a quick to glimpse visual is never a bad thing #gamedev #indiegamedev

Just learned that Wellingtaru is on tonight. Too short a notice for this long-covid guy, but will definitely join in next month. Very keen to get back to socialising.

Wellington gamedev folks. Are there regular catchups these days? I’d love to get back into socialising with like-minded people again.

Honestly, I’m not sure I would’ve gone with that slogan.

Drop an old person you’re going to turn into in the future

Oh hi! It’s been a while. New build out for supporters! #indiegame #gamedev

When someone says "I've trained the LLM to think like me" all I hear is "this horoscope is so accurate!"

Isn't it about time Nolan North got another big gig?

Nothing fancy to show today, but work has begun on the camp where you prep for the next mission. #indiegamedev

Put up the 18th build for supporters of the project today. Really happy with how it’s feeling now. Time to start working on the camp for in between missions. #indiegamedev

Session 2 of our #ShadowDark playthrough is up! Sometimes you just have to know what's coming and play right into it. #kiwirpg youtu.be/FYtzTPrINkU

Back into the #gamedev stuff this weekend as I try to fight back against my long covid. Some nice little adjustments made and bringing in controller support before adding in the next big feature: the camp

Can you all show me your awesome #indiegamedev stuff

For those hungry for a decent #ShadowDark #actualplay, please do come and check out our first session into that world. Rule no. 1: don't get attached to the characters. youtu.be/vyYlTgk8C_U

just innocent men innocent men innocent me

I haven't really touched social media in a while. I've spent the last 18 months with long covid (and still going) and honestly have spent way too much time scrolling through subreddits and community sections of things where everyone seems to hate everything constantly. What even is the net now?

I can’t get Silent Hill 2 out of my head. It’s so good. It’s the kind of good that’s rare in videogames. It’s the kind of good where if any one part was any worse it would all crumble down. So much love was put into this remake. Hot damn.

Silent Hill 2 remake is straight up a 10 out of 10 game. I had forgotten that games could hold that kind of intensity.

Getting save/load states up and running has been fairly eye-opening. There’s been a lot of back-end development which isn’t the most fun to show off, but will hopefully have a nice big update soon.

Hey so does our govt make anyone else completely and utterly fearful for NZs future? Just me? Ok cool.

I've been a bit quiet on here but that doesn't mean I haven't been working hard. Really happy with how it's all progressing. #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedev

www.patreon.com/posts/120027... A new build out for supporters. And an enormous amount of changes to go with it.

It’s been a fun four months! #indiegame #gamedev

Starting the weekend strong creating a seriously scalable unlockable skill/spells/abilities feature. #indiegamedev #kiwirpg

Wrapping up the weekend with some more new features #indiegame #gamedev

Boy oh boy. Can’t wait to share more hyper compressed videos here on Bluesky… #gamedev #indiegame

I finally figured out the whole “connect itch.io to Patreon” thing, so if you want to support the project (and the stream) then jump on over to Patreon.com/GettingDicey

I spoke with the Wizards & Warp Drives crew about DMing for live-streamed games. Have a listen, I promise you’ll enjoy it. #kiwiRPG youtu.be/TyAswtJngMQ?...

Okay so, Wicked was fantastic

I’m quickly learning that game dev is spending all day to get something that looks like it would be incredibly easy to do. #gamedev #indiegame

Anyone else feel that this is National’s way to set up a private sector saviour?

Ready to test something out; just need someone to gift 1 million dollars for it. The test? See how sweet life is with a million dollars.

A fairly important piece of the puzzle #indiegame #gamedev P.S How do you get Bluesky to not ruin the compression so badly?

I’m not sure if this proves or hurts my case when I say Bex is one of the coolest people I know.

I need more folks talking about video games. What are you all playing?

Star Citizen really is a stunning game (and broken as all fuck right now)

I don’t know what the home-sewing market is like here on Bluesky, but my wife is having a 25% Black Friday sale on all her patterns over at forgetmenotpatterns.com #sewingpatterns #makersgonnamake

Once I get my next block of features in, I might start looking at turning the flat 2D look into something more 2.5D. I love the idea of proper shadows and lighting but maintaining the pixel art character look. Here’s my current list:

My Twitter timeline is literally just brands I follow now. And with that my conversion to Bluesky is complete.

Are you following us on twitch yet? Don't miss out on the fortnightly fantasy fun! #kiwirpg #ttrpg #stream #dnd5e Twitch.tv/fateofisen

Star Wars Outlaws is the Beyond Good and Evil sequel I’ve been waiting years for

Lots of new followers thanks to this whole game dev thing I’m doing. Nice to meet you all! I’m the host of GettingDicey and slowly turning the stories and characters within into a Fire Emblem style RPG. Thanks for following and joining me on this journey.
