Cookie to celebrate that Full Metal Syncope just achieved 1K DOWNLOADS!!!! Thanks to everybody that played it, it means the world to me <3 #gamedev

If that game was a song: youtu.be/wv_4JnHvOTc

I have a feeling that this last title will be the hardest to finish. It's an idea I've had in my head for about 3 years, and in all of those years that idea never fully materialized. It was a pretty stupid decision of mine to leave the hardest one for last...

thinking about making a game with monogame before finishing the game dev adventures of mine

i believe it will take a while until the last game in the collection is done, i got virtually no time to work on it rn (blame my uni), the current estimation is mid December, no promises tho

i really want to unify all of the games in the collection into one apk, having a bunch of different app listings on the play store is really bothering me.

about 3 years ago i released a little horror game called 'GIFT' that was removed from the play store due to a lack of updates. i always wanted to make a sequel to that game and now that Full Metal Syncope is released, i totally see it as GIFT's spiritual sequel, both being these weird walking sims.

This will be a very special #screenshotsaturday because i just released a game! Explore the surreal world of Full Metal Syncope, meet, greet & scream at it's residents. w/ (EVEN MORE) music by @jarrencrist.bsky.social check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

It's out, enjoy :)) play.google.com/store/apps/d... play.google.com/store/apps/d... play.google.com/store/apps/d... play.google.com/store/apps/d... play.google.com/store/apps/d...

I made a couple of songs for this! It's a cool little atmospheric game where you walk around and interact with stuff, uncover dialogue, secrets, and the sort. And I'm pretty proud of the tunes I did for this one!

Full Metal Syncope achieved **200 pre-registrations** on the Google Play Store! Thanks everyone who pre-registered it, I'll be releasing the game later today, stay tuned. #gamedev #indiedev #mobilegaming #art

ok, time for another round of #screenshotsaturday. This is 'Tidal Hell', a zero-player war sim game where you engineer weapons and send off your pawns to watch them fight. w/ music by @jarrencrist.bsky.social <333 check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Thinking about learning Jetpack Compose after I'm done with these game dev projects, I genuinely find mobile development fun

one of the reasons that i cancelled this project was due to constrains on the vfx side, im really happy to see motion vectors being finally added to godot 4.6 after all this time, now i can finally do some crazy post processing effects for my next game

I'm a big fan of anti-marketing, just releasing the game when it's ready, no announcement, no anticipation, just consumption, but unfortunately nobody cares about your projects if you launch them this way, shame.

i think i just finished developing my next game, might take a week b4 i released it but im happy with the results :)))

for today's #screenshotsaturday, i'll showcase 'Castration', an horror game i made where you confront complex entities inside a reality bending prison. check it out @ play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Weird, Godot android Gradle builds feel faster in 4.5 and I can't pinpoint exactly why.

ok so, my portifolio/website is now up on the world wide web, go check it out! lucasangelo.dev #indieweb

ok, plans b4 exam season start: - publish updates to all of my previous games on the playstore (already done, just need to upload) - finish my new personal website (domain secured) - remaster my first mobile game (gift) and re-relase it (prob will take a while)

tbh i want to finish another 3 game dev projects b4 the end of the year, i wonder if i can do it...

unlisted all my projects from storefronts, working on updates rn, will relaunch them later, just thought i could make the final product better

Finished watching the 2nd season of twin peaks, I'm obsessed over it, I didn't know it was this good Looking forward to the movie and the 3rd season now

its such a shame that monogame doesn't have a web export, i found more success with that than with desktop and mobile platforms combined. tbh im kinda lost atm, i dont wanna go back to godot and neither give up html5 for this project, i guess ill just go with the flow and see where it leads me

2 curious things about @itch.io that i found out with time 1. players prefer browser plays rather than downloading your game 2. yes, there's an audience for mobile games on itch.io #gamedev

gamedev bsky is a really cozy place

Godot 4.5 seems to be a bit lackluster, looking forward to 4.6 tho

using 3 libraries and none of them using the same data types is making me go insane srly, what do dotnet developers have against System.Numerics????????

taking a look at how exok managed to render that 3d map in celeste and something caught my eye, they drew all of the transparent meshes in one draw call and i have no idea how. other than that, everything is super straight to the point, they even use baked lightning to keep it even more simple

more on this #monogame #gamedev

tried importing a GLTF model, was kind of a hassle, there's barely any documentation on the lib i was using, but was able to do it nontheless i really wanna keep working on this, working with frameworks is fun as hell

trying out MonoGame's 3d features for the first time. I love this framework, it's really fun to work with

i don't really get why so many people on reddit say that the dotnet ecosystem sucks, i think nuget and csproj both work really well, never had any issues or felt something or some package that i needed was missing b4

sdl3's gpu api is a really useful abstraction over modern graphics libraries, my only issues with it has to do with third party support - mainly browsers supporting webgpu and android vendors supporting vulkan - and all of these issues can be fixed with time, and i cant wait for them to do so

Thinking about making a "bring your own editor" kind of game engine, in the veins of bevy and alike

gonna ditch git to use cvs instead

twt's search is so broken that i spend the longest time without noticing that people ACTUALLY STILL USE MY PACK OF RETRO SHADERS ☠️☠️☠️☠️ i have no actual idea of the influence these shaders had on the godot community, insane stuff

Gonna create a monopo for my personal learning projects, multirepo approach is waaaaaaay too messy

Stack-based processors > register-based processors

update: I gave up on it after a while, ux was a hastle and the ui was clunky, switched to sourcegit for the moment, it appears to solve those issues and I've been having a pretty good time with it lately

I gave up on programming gui apps in c# for a side project, went head first on flutter and have been loving the experience ever since, only bad thing is that dart's lsp loves to consume ALL of my ram and freeze up my PC mid development 😵‍💫

made my own static site generator in python, didn't want the complexity of hugo for such a simple portfolio website, so i just wrote everything in HTML files and mashed them together for Kognum's website, was a fun experiment, check it out here github.com/Kognum/Website/

remembered that i had a student license for gitkraken, gonna give it a try. i still like github desktop but it was having some weird bugs on linux, expected since it is a unofficial port

i feel like im having the same problems with godot 4 as i had with unity when i was about to quit it: too much quality inconsistency, outdated docs & near awful developer experience. sometimes i feel like the people that are working on the engine dont make actual games with it.

are there any game design/programming resources on making combat? im literally just the rule of cool for everything, but at the same time i have no idea if the gameplay is actually fun or not

1 week until launch 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Miscalculated, it's 4 exams coming up* ☠️☠️☠️

Google somehow mixed kiki and bouba in one design language

I'm convinced 65535 is the best number of all. 16 bits, unsigned, beautiful to look at, simply the best.

On the flip side it makes my games take ages to load compared to itch io
