I've been working on my paper mario inspired deckbuilder and I have transitions into and out of combat fully implemented, as well as a system to store both the combat and overworld environment simultaneously loaded but while ensuring only one runs at a time. #gamedev #godot. #indiedev

I'm really bad at the whole sharing progress thing, and its not a social anxiety thing, or a fear of being judged thing, it's a #gamedev is too much fun thing. I keep planning out a devlog or a post on bluesky, I get out the project to record or screenshot, and suddenly 15 new features are done.

#gamedev #indiedev the main character is gonna have glasses so we gotta be able to use an effect like this

#gamedev #indiedev since we got a hybrid card game rpg we gotta have a card game themed #earthbound style background. #godot

while I was learning how to do video editing for the devlog, I made a shitpost of @melonypepon.bsky.social describing #FireEmblem,

spent a few weeks between my jobs working on a devlog for my game, hopefully more than 3 people see it. youtu.be/9B_Zz6K7vSE #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Tech bros talk like AI is so efficient but if you say please or thank you to me I don't consume an entire swimming pool worth of water

I think more left leaning people need to take up art, not because we need more art but because so many of them focus on arguing about what the finished canvas should look like and almost none of them discuss the individual brush strokes we need to get there.

I just want the techbros to know that I studied AI since 2015. My hatred for the technology doesn't come from the idea that it may take my job, it comes from the fact that no amount of money made me okay with the harm that AI was doing or the lies we had to tell to keep people interested in it.

AI works by recreating patterns of the works in its data set, it will always be behind the times, trying to play catch up. if AI manages to recreate a style that style will instantly become so oversaturated that consumers will be sick of it by the time you can get anything to market with it.

I had a dream last night that Calzones became a memey way to refer to anything anti-trump/anti-fascist so after I got home from work I made some of the memes.

Something companies like Amazon need to realize is that their business model is fundamentally reliant on people's habits which means that if this boycott lasts long enough these customers are just not coming back, you broke their habit. Keep canceling prime subscriptions.

What I've learned from all this nonsense is that most people don't know what a Federated government is. It is both a blessing and a curse that to most Americans the shit Trump does really is like a bad reality tv show and the things that would effect them have been undone at the state level.

Getting back into #gamedev I've added Keyword Hints to my #TimingBased #deckbuilder Should I just upload this new version to itch immediately? keyword hints make the game so much easier to figure out especially since the feature can be used to make small tutorials.

As I read more and more comments about what is happening, I realize that no matter how much I express my disgust at what is happening, people from other places will still think of me as an extension of it, instead of my own independent person. That is how WE got into this mess, so I worry for them.

Sure, but make him do it. Don't obey in advance.

I'd like to get back to working on my game during weekends, but I feel like I need more people to play my prototype so that I can get feedback on how it plays and people to bounce ideas off of. maybe I should post a short devlog or something. #gamedev #indiedev doommustard.itch.io/timing-based...

They made #balatro irl!?!

upgraded from "deactivated and avoiding using facebook" to a full on "deleted my account" today. I encourage everyone else to do the same because its on your mind and its something you wanted to do anyway even before they did all the stupid shit.

I need everyone to know that #MarioAndLuigi #Brothership is thematically the same as #MetalGearSolid2 and they are both better for it.

New Year! new prototype! The new years playable prototype of my #TimingBased⏰#Deckbuilder 🃏 is playable at doommustard.itch.io/timing-based... complete with derpy little #mspaint assets #Godot #GameDev #IndieDev #PlayablePrototype

It is now possible to die! Isn't that exciting! you're welcome #indiedev #gamedev #Godot #TimingBased ⏰ #Deckbuilder 🃏

I've added some animations to the enemy, as well as more #programmerart for it #gamedev #indiedev With animations for the enemies it has been much easier to realize that my block mechanic was working as intended, but NEEDs enemy animations to be fun to use.

animation and sound effects really add to the impact of the timing based ⏰ #deckbuilder 🃏I'm working on, even these ones that don't really fit the vibe I'm going for still add a ton to the experience. #gamedev #indiedev

I've added damage effects to my Timing-based⏰ #Deckbuilder🃏 as well as little indicators for mana cost and defense. started testing the blocking mechanic #indiedev #gamedev

Yesterday i looked into uploading some of my old game projects to itch just to see how possible it is and unearthed an ancient spaghetti monster. I might be able to upload them if anyone knows how to make lwjgl play nice with web embedding. But for now I'm gonna focus on my timing based deckbuilder

As part of recovering from sick I had to do a ton of cleaning today, so I couldn't work on #gamedev. but while I was, I had my old school laptop, dump my old game projects onto an thumb drive so I could look back on them on more stable hardware. Here's something I made in 8th grade.

Added a quick and dirty description of what cards do to my Timing-based⏰ #Deckbuilder 🃏 I also added a leniency value to the combo effect so now a combo will still occur even if the card is coded to check the combo value before you manage to get one in. #GameDev #indieDev

I caught a cold so I'll just post cryptic nonsense and call it "marketing" ✨Productivity✨: Timing-based⏰ #deckbuilder 🃏 #indiedev #gamedev My goal is to have a playable prototype in people's hands by the time I have to go back to work around new years (but this cold might kill my momentum.)

just want to send a singnal out there that while assholery may be tolerated by the powers that be i won't tolerate it and i know how to use the block button.

I spent the day adding mouse controls to my timing based #Deckbuilder prototype, the combo mechanic is as fun to mess with as I thought it would be Its easiest to see with the Compass which returns to your hand on a successful combo.(ending turns counts) #game_dev #godot bsky.app/profile/doom...

I originally suggested #borthership is about the internet as a joke but as I get further into it, I think the reading holds up really well. The internet is a cool place to connect with people assuming that people also touch grass. bsky.app/profile/doom...

Don't be sad, Get mad! You don't want those damn lemons, what the hell are you supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give you lemons. Does life know who you are? You're the one who's gonna burn life's house down! With the lemons!

I think it started as a realization that all games are made by people, then it became a kind of puzzle to figure out how to make a certain thing in a certain way, now I get an idea stuck in my craw and it's hard to do much else until it's done.

Im mostly trying to be active on here to talk #game_dev so maybe instead of my interests I could do a #promosky for the inspiration of the game(s) I'm working on: 📜Paper Mario 🃏Slay the Spire 🌌Metroid ❤️Undertale ✋️Gravity Falls 🗡Adventure Time 🌐Stargate 🌼Pikmin 🅱️Baba is You ⭐️Super Mario 64*

I have an proof of concept working for a Slay the Spire inspired #deckbuilder with real-time mechanics. the real-time is done with 2 mechanics: Combo- queue the next card before this card's animation finishes to do an effect Guard- can be discarded on enemy turns for an effect #game_dev #indie_dev

Mario and Luigi Brothership is about a magic tree that has the power to connect people. Bad guys have used this power to fill people with hatred and now the world is more disconnected than ever. to make it more obvious that tree is a metaphor for the internet, the world is made of networking puns

I have a game that has existed in my brain for a while and I think it is no longer a matter of IF but a matter of WHEN I will get this game into a state where I can share it with the rest of the world. #stay_motivated #game_dev #indie_dev

I made a water shader in #godot and it works #gamedev

trying to figure out how to manage social media stuffs to find people that might be interested in the work I'm doing is distracting me from the work I'm doing. (its game dev btw)

I'm a hobbyist game dev, thinking i might start making stuff for more than just my close friends and gamejams. Thought of a way to turn my dev-logs into games themselves. This next experiment should be very, very interesting.

Friendly reminder that twitter isn't the only social media you don't plan on using anymore, may as well delete facebook to while you're at it. they shouldn't be tracking you anyway
