‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

🗨 "I think we should be talking about life expectancy, education, health, a whole range of metrics" @zackpolanski.bsky.social on why we need to move beyond GDP growth as the main measure of how well our society is doing.

day 608: ! built a fake real-time GI system for my game and it cost almost nothing to run! The warm sunset light wrapping under the car is not baked, not a probe volume, not a reflection capture. here is how it works 🧵 #buildinpublic #indiegamedev #unity3d

After getting some advice from @antoine.fyi, I decided to move the menu intradiegetically, directly into the device. :) I really like the result, and using an Area3D node to capture mouse events in 3D is really simple. #godotengine #gamedev #wildcosmos

LESS THAN A WEEK!!!!!

2 years ago, I realized I was running out of time before turning 30. So I stopped waiting, quit my job, and started building. With my brothers, we created our own indie game, inspired by Moebius: Maseylia – Echoes of the Past. Not perfect.. but 100% ours!

It took me 2 years and 5000+ hours to make this indie game. And it takes you 2 seconds to engage and maybe change my life. Currently at 9700 wishlists. Can we round it up?? ;) It's called Maseylia: Echoes of the Past. A 3D platformer metroidvania inspired by Moebius, releasing in 2026.

bangers and bangers and bangers!

🛠️Work in progress 🛠️ We are currently reworking the main character visual ! Now they have 8 directions and they look at the mouse cursor while walking #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #godot #madewithgodot

quick lil sketch playing around with my glass!! flute!!!

trying to be better at taking time off so here is proof that i didn’t work and instead filled this bank holiday with fun lil things ☀️🌷✨

after a failed attempt that was a performance nightmare, ive got a working throw arc trajectory. the different gravity zones made this so much harder lol. still not perfect but at least its not taking 8-12 ms per frame anymore 😬 #gamedev #3dplatformer #screenshotsaturday #solodev

Black hole visual update from the last twitch stream :) (twitch: www.twitch.tv/heytibo) #godotengine #gamedev #wildcosmos

I played Without a Dawn a few months back and holy shit it's such a work of art. the sense of dread and the way it perfectly captures paranoia is something that will stick with me for a long time and if you haven't played it yet, treat yourself ☺️

i rambled on a lil about my experience with writing music for Wax Heads so if u wanna see inside my brain then check it out 👀🤘
