Ever wonder how a “simple” chest works in a game? Behind the scenes it’s player alerts, animation, hooks, enemy/item mapping — all tied together. www.youtube.com/shorts/jFNzY... #GameDevelopment #Unity #IndieGame #devlog #indieDev

So much of game dev is invisible. The smoother a feature looks, the more work probably went into it. I Wrote a piece about the hidden effort behind smooth scene transitions and why “simple” is never simple in game dev. #indiedev #unitygamedev #gamedev #devlog

🎮 My first game dev project fell apart. 📊 Enterprise engineering—of all things—taught me how to finish what I start. Here’s what I learned the hard way: 👉 open.substack.com/pub/fuzzyind... #GameDev #IndieDev #SoftwareEngineering #devlife

I saw the Unite 2025 Keynotes and Highlights so you don’t have to! Here’s the rundown on what’s coming in Unity 6.3, and upcoming plans. substack.com/profile/5429... #gamedev #unity3D #unityKeynote

New devlog is live! I’m breaking down my Interaction Trigger System — dialog triggers, quest starts, lighting effects, teleports, all from one setup. Super fun to build. 🎬 youtu.be/IihJXNs6m_c #gamedev #unitygamedev #indiedevelopment #indiedev

I made a salsa yesterday, after seeing it on IG reels. Its pretty decent. I think I can make it better though!

Just added a new Fast Travel System to my indie game Varadia! 🗺️ Finally… no more running across the entire map 😅 🎥 Watch the short: youtube.com/shorts/tG92E... #GameDev #Unity #IndieDev #FuzzyIndie #Varadia

Many new developers always seem to be worried about imposter syndrome. And I believe if many of them talked to each other more, regardless of experience, will realize that we're more alike then you think... That were all concerned about quality and getting a good product out the door.

Varadia Prologue came out almost two weeks ago! If you haven't seen it yet don´t miss out on all the background of the world of Varadia and its land! Watch the prologue now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMlC... #indiedev #GamingCommunity #fypシ #RPG

Just dropped Devlog #2! This month was chaotic: 🛠️ Rebuilt my stat system 🧠 Gave NPCs actual emotional dialog (think Hades-style) 💻 Finally built my new PC too 😅 📺 Watch it here: youtu.be/1YB0QvfbxGE #gamedev #indiedev #unity #devlog #roguelite #hades2 #bindingofisaac #fuzzyindie

People seemed really surprised about us using Procreate for our hand drawn indie game! Made another little video explaining our process 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #Procreate

New Unity tutorial is live! 🧠 Teach your NPCs to CHASE & LEASH using BDPro behavior trees. 🎮 From idle... to on your heels. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=8paP... #Unity3D #GameDev #BDPro #IndieDev #AIinGames

I’m building a co-op roguelite, and this week was all about NPCs, systems work, and the weird bugs that came with it 😅 If you like behind-the-scenes game dev, come hang out: 📺 Watch the devlog: youtu.be/EaM33lzXPQc #IndieDev #GameDev #Devlog #Unity #SoloDev

It's pretty fun making YT vids. Full vids and shorts. I got a new one up with a Heart Spawn effect built in Unity. Let me know what you think !👀❣️ youtube.com/shorts/NMjkv... #unity3d #gamedesign #gamedev #indiegamedev #uxgamedev

I think I'm getting pretty good at video editing. This is probably my most. Viewed short so far youtube.com/shorts/Oce4_... #unity3d #uitoolkit #uxgamedev #gamedev

Anyone know how to add videos to bluesky video feed ? 🤔

When you finally fix the bug.... .... but have no idea why it works... #unitydev #indieDev #unitygamedevelopment #indiegamedev

Forgot to share this before, but this mornings breakfast. Home made chilaquiles, with frijoles 😋🤤🤤 #foodielife #gamedev #unitydev #indiegamedev

Just dropped a new short on Behavior Designer Pro Stacking in Unity! If you're into clean AI setups (and keeping your brain sane), check it out: youtube.com/shorts/NZeB0... Would love to hear your thoughts—or your own tricks!🧠🎮 #GameDev #Unity #BehaviorDesigner #IndieDev

No switch 2 updates 😞 Still excited about any news from Nintendo

So who got a pic with wukong yesterday?? #gdc #gdc2025 #unitygamedev

Had the opportunity to show off my Duolingo streak with duo yesterday, then I got a plushie 🙂 #gdc2025 #duolingo #developer

@teddydief.bsky.social thank you for your talk today. I've thought about that bottom up process before too, but never formed that idea in the same sense you did in your presentation. I do hope this idea grows!

Any indies interested in marketing, howtomatketagame.com/gdc2025 NGL this talk was super informative. #gdc2025 #indiegamedev #indiegamedevelopment #unitygamesev #ynity3d

Just attended the talk by @juliaminamata.bsky.social , @nehapolitan.bsky.social , and Renee Gittins, and it was so awesome hearing there experiences, struggles, and obstacles publishing and working in game dev. Ty for the talk!!

It was a great day 0 and so happy to be around so many fellow game dev focused peers. Here's to an awesome week all!! #gdc #gdc2025 #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #gamedev

For all the people going to GDC, be sure to work on your plans this week! There's plenty of opportunities, but there's also some events that won't let you in because they're already full up. So checkout what's available, and what you want this week 🙂

I had a nice working AI system that would run into walls, teleport when stuck, and crash into other NPCs. Then I switched to A*, and now I have a nice working AI system that zigzags a straight line 🙃

Many times I want to jump ship and go on the game industry. However releasing my own title feels so much more fulfilling and potentially a better transition then an industry job.

Hello! I'm excited to be a mentor for the #unlikelycollaborators game jam! I'll be on discord if anyone needs to reach me too! - FuzzySmurf Best of luck to everyone! @igdafoundation.org @igda.org @unlikelycollaborators.com

Worked on a cool fade-in and fade-out effect while transitioning scenes. Now theres no weird pause while the next scene loads. #indiegamedev #gamedev #unitygamedev #soloindiegamedev #indiegamedevelopment

I spend more time on bluesky then I do on any other social platform. The way it curates content based on your interest is so much better.

I'm trying to work on some videos for dev logs. I made a YT Short with Group patrolling mechanics, and showed a few things that I thought were interesting. However I am always looking for ways to make these videos more interesting. #indiegamedev #gamedev #sologamedev www.youtube.com/shorts/dEKkR...

Played with 4man pathing, and the wolves waiting for the pack to get there. Also added the wandering mechanics from my other project. looking good. #gamedev #unitygamedev #gameDevelopment #indieGameDev #indieGameDevelopment

Woo! Got my new hot sauces in!

If you get this email (your date will obviously vary) then don't ignore it as a "oh just an inflation/price increase". It's worded to look like that. But the reality is they're chucking on a co-pilot fee. Doing the stuff I put in the other post will flip you back to your non-Copilot subscription.

I hadn't made a video in a while, but wanted to showcase a few map updates for my current project. #indiegamedev #indiegames #unitygamedevelopment #gamedevelopment #gamedev youtube.com/shorts/NVKwl...

Never knew how annoying Shader Programming could be until I had to modify one.

Working on some Group Patrolling Mechanics. looks good so far! #gamedev #indieGameDev #unity3D #unitygamedev

I started working on Short GameDev Log updates, and recently wanted to showcase the new ability of one of my golems. It still needs more work, but for now, I think it works quite nice. #indiegamedev #gamedevelopment #unity3d #unityGameDev youtube.com/shorts/IXeYB...

I dont understand how most people can say "I just want to retire and not do anything". I find Joy in what I want to do, and wouldn't ever want to stop in retirement. I think it relates to having purpose, and I think thats way more important.

I really enjoy using Opsives UCC, as it gives me a pre-made character AI I can use and modify. Once in a while though, I do find conflicts I need to tweak to fit my own needs. like the UseCompleteEvent. #gameDev #gameDevThings 1 / 2🧵

I don't watch enough anime. Need to hit that 52 weeks next year💪

Working on my Golems AI Mechanics. Initial implementation will inspect the location of where the damage came from. #gamedev #unity3D #gameDevelopment #indieDev
