The Katipo source repository is now public! The internet is broken in ways that can't be fixed. But we can build new alternatives, and this might be a good place to start. github.com/mjdave/katipo

OK I'm actually going to make Pi Zero 2 W a legit target for my stuff, actually seems like it should be readily achievable and a fun goal. I developed Saucelifter and Fargoal on a Pentium II, after all. I'm counting on you to do the heavy lifting though, SDL3 🙏

We didn't have $1 million for a Game Awards trailer so we’re posting Icy Tower here for free instead! #indiegames

Gotta make sure my next games will run on the Raspberry Pi or something, since we won't be able to afford the (6._.)6 "fancy RAM"

Shit shit shit. Difficult realization that we're financially at our limit. I need work yesterday to support my wife and I. At this point, anything goes. Full time, part time, you pay and I code for you. I'm a 20+ year pro software/gamedev in "Fake London" Canada mikekasprzak.com/Resume-MikeK...

I'm going to bump this just one more time here. I don't want to be a downer. I'm a 25 year professional software/game dev/community organizer that's in *DIRE* need of employment ASAP! I've been stuck in tech-company interview & waiting hell the past 9+ months. I desperately need a job or gig now. 💜

Who would drop a new game, unannounced on the same day as Deltarune 3 & 4? 👍🤪👍 This guy! Here's Hard Code, an attempt to make the perfect ball droid sim using mouse controls, a short but polished game for $3 for PC and Mac. Download: gamehole.itch.io/hard-code #indiedev #gamedev

if you're looking to learn martial arts for self defense in a protest scenario, judo is a really good idea. it's MUCH easier to learn trips, throws, how to use your weight, breakfalls, scrambles, etc than to learn striking. striking is great but it takes a lot longer to achieve proficiency

I will remain by your side. Until this frail hope shatters.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: here's a WIP video clip of an Elven village. Still needs all the people adding, but I'm happy with the way it looks.🙂

@distraction.engineer OMG Fist II was released in 1987, that will be 40 years in 2027 D:

I made some mead and no idea how it turned out, so I was “testing” it and now I’m drunk 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy Women's Day! <3

I'm putting together a Canada game dev starter pack in response to this idiotic tariff war so people can support Canada-based game devs through follows / purchases if they choose to. Reply if you're a game dev in Canada and you want to be on it. Please repost. Thanks!

@madgarden.bsky.social Thanks for making Punch Quest!

why the fuck would i want realistic graphics. i can see real things just by opening my fucking eyes. i want to see 1000 different interpretations of the world. show me what makes each thing a thing

I had this crazy idea the other night... what if I recreated all of the little games that I made as a kid, to the best of my recollection, as a means to an end for updating my game framework.

Why is Tobal No. 1 not on PS Plus 🥺

This is "crafting week" where I scramble to make passable gifts using my questionable skills right at the last possible minute

I keep thinking about the old Datasoft platformers. Especially Bruce Lee, Zorro, and The Goonies. They've just got this VIBE.

I recently did a courtesy call with an indie developer. They wanted to talk to me because their game's target audience is ... uh, me. 25-40-year-old women, many of whom are moms. They wanted to know: what did I need to pick up a game? What would bar me from playing? Here are some answers 🧵(1/?):

THOR, the BARBARIAN! THYRA, the VALKYRIE! MERLIN, the mf WIZARD! And QUESTOR, the.. uh, elf 🤷‍♂️

Shovelling snow for the past 3 days, will get to coding soon

Looking forward to abusing libtcc in order to spend 90% of my gamedev efforts in a livecoding hack dood flow.

My new #C64 #RPG: been working on some combat spell effects, so here's what I have for a lightning spell (and yes, I do need to increase the damage it does😉).😀

I'm a bit conflicted on the use of momentum in platformers. On one hand, it makes everything look and feel smooth and natural, satisfying... as opposed to just coming to a sudden start/stop during movement. On the other hand, just barely sliding off of the end of a platform and into the abyss sucks.
