Okay, I've updated Pocket Bird's itch page to better reflect the program's style! It's not perfect, but it's way better than before and a lot more fun. Shout out to "itchpack" by @billiam.org for making editing way easier! New page: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird #opensource #gamedev

Started working on the dynamic water simulation for my relaxing building game today. Obviously a lot of work left, but it’s already working with overhangs and everything. Looking forward to making waterfalls more than just lines and making it possible to build aqueducts! #gamedev #indiegamedev

I didn't think I'd get choked up reading anonymous Animal Crossing-style messages from people around the world, but here we are. Happy Saturday night.

Just added 1,300 newly submitted anonymous letters to my @acmail.idreesinc.com project! People have shared some truly amazing things, check them out if you have the time: acmail.idreesinc.com #animalcrossing #acnh #opensource

I have thousands of anonymous letters to review for @acmail.idreesinc.com which is an insane amount, but they are so full of kindness and love that it is honestly a great problem to have 💌 Still, this is going to take forever!

It’s concerning how quickly someone can just “vibe clone” an entire open-source project and call it their own, all while escaping the original license. How is a human dev supposed to compete when it takes hundreds of hours to make something by hand and a day to tastelessly copy it?

On the bright side, it is very satisfying watching the map warp as I add anchor points to match the Minecraft coordinates with real world locations!

God, the amount of linear algebra I'm having to do just to make a train in Minecraft that travels around a scale map of the earth is disgusting

Pocket Bird 2.0 has been released with 10+ new birds, rare unlocks, and more! idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird/... #opensource #bird #pixelart

Currently trying to decide between these two designs, any opinions? First one is slightly slimmer, second is fatter.

I'm going to be testing random Animal Crossing photos as backgrounds for my anonymous Animal Crossing letter project! If you have any in-game photos you would like me to use, feel free to send them to me! #opensource #animalcrossing

New limited edition spring stationery has been added to the Animal Crossing Letter Generator, get it while it's hot! acmail.idreesinc.com

This error message somehow showed up as a file listing ._.

I am quite pleased with this extremely rotund blue jay

Quick question, should I continue posting with the gradient backgrounds or should I start using screenshots from the game as the background to make things more interesting? #animalcrossing

Created a little sprite editor thing to help me design new birds for Pocket Bird. Could I have made like a dozen birds in the day it took me to write this? Maybe, but look at how cute it is! #opensource #pixelart

Wait, there's a group of lepidoptera with MOUTHS?? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropt...

Someone was kind enough to post about @acmail.idreesinc.com on Instagram and now I am swimming in anonymous letters to review! At this rate, I'm going to have to build some little app to help make approving letters easier because manually copying each letter into my code isn't cutting it lol

Had an idea for a game last night so made a quick editor as a proof of concept. It's a "3d" editor that involves you drawing pixel layers that then get stacked giving a faux 3d effect when the layers are transformed and drawn on top of each other. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #javascript

Pocket Bird officially has over 500 chrome users! Thanks to everyone that has chosen to let a tiny bird loose while they browse the web! #opensource #desktoppet #pocketbird #birds

I’ve just started playing Pokémon Legends ZA and I’ve already accidentally encountered two shiny magikarp flopping about??

I'm just saying, if you're trying to leave Discord for PictoChat or whatever, I've got an open-source recreation for mobile right here...

Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/picoc...

I've made an open-source program that updates your Bluesky display name with the current moon phase! github.com/IdreesInc/Bl... #opensource #bluesky

Added more bottles to acmail.idreesinc.com and finally fixed the issue where line breaks weren't being saved! Also added this pretty social media card formatting. Wish I could figure out a way to generate a preview image of the specific card for the tag, but I don't think that's possible?

I made a script that posts a daily "message in a bottle" shared through my Animal Crossing Letter Generator, check it out!

Pocket Bird now comes with cute hats! Find a dozen hand made pixel art hats scattered across webpages to give your pet a new look: idreesinc.itch.io/pocket-bird/... #opensource #indiedev

Oh shoot, I did not realize the Animal Crossing music on the Nintendo Music app could automatically sync to the time, that’s so cool!

happy to say rowbot rally's been nominated for a #playdate community award!!! thank you to everybody who's played and enjoyed it over the last year. (fun bit of ~relevant trivia: it's currently sitting at precisely 1,111 copies sold. wish come true, ig!)

Now that I’ve moved to a walkable city, I can finally work towards that 10 million steps!

Quickly coded up a lambda to post a random daily message in a bottle from acmail.idreesinc.com in my discord! It's a bit clunky as it simulates a whole browser just to use the "Save Letter" functionality, but it only runs once a day so who cares.

A drive across the country along with two guinea pigs that were having none of it

Reminder to my new followers that I’ve got a cool little discord where you can follow along with all of my projects and help me beta test things! #opensource discord.gg/6yxE9prcNc

Doing market research for Pocket Bird

These are all of the hats I designed for the newest update! I'm no good at pixel art, but I think they're pretty adorable 🎩
