youtu.be/NUT5SBZkVys?... I think this is my all time favorite documentary, when I feel uninspired towards game dev I always come back to it, it's amazing

Same game, 3 different years, 3 different iterations, 3 different engines

still thinking about that Godot HDDAGI PR......

Been using the new chatgpt 5.4 for some guided backend study/research and idk why but it sure feels dumber, it's hallucinating simple things. Tbf it does get things right after I tell it fucked up but that's a hassle to do every time

#screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

Now features one feature I can't live without: - Instance Shader Uniforms This has been a life saver for a project I'm currently doing, to the point that I can't imagine it being done in any other engine!

Features I have no idea why Godot still doesn't have: - Carousel Buttons - 3D Debug Draw - On-Screen Debug Messages Was gonna put virtual joystick on the list but apparently it is being implemented on the next release, which is awesome

I still need to refactor github.com/ahopness/god... to use compositor effects instead of simple shaders, but I guess that will take a while

Most classes in Godot tend to be so simple and clean, it still bugs me how compositor effects can be such a hassle to set up. Creating a new effect feels like 90% boilerplate and guessing compared to simple screen reading gdshaders. Tbf thats prob on purpose tho.

Gonna start using The Conet Project's Three Note Oddity as my alarm

tbh toyota's fluorite game engine seems quite interesting, mixing google's flutter and filament into one package feels just right

Every p̶a̶i̶n̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ game is a s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶p̶o̶r̶t̶r̶a̶i̶t̶ walking sim with a depression metaphor

We should bring VRML back

Tbh I miss publishing games on newgrounds

Discovered a new pastime: Watching archived videos of David Lynch directing people onset

Update: not happening 😵‍💫 got caught up with life and the game will have to wait until next year, sryyy

Semester isn't over yet at my uni but I already started working on the last project in the collection 💥💥 hope to finish b4 the end of the year

Btw, Jarren just posted the songs he made for the collection on Bandcamp, check it out: jarrencrist.bandcamp.com/album/some-s...

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
