Building in AME Engine feels like using custom LEGO blocks 👇 You: - Pick components - Assemble them into entities - Tweak behavior through tools - Test instantly Less coding barriers, more iteration - and fun! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

Small dev insight: A lot of AME Engine level-building power comes from a system I designed years ago, called PBMS (Pivot Based Modular System). It handles modular assembly in both 2D and 3D, and it’s fast and reliable, and quietly does a lot of heavy lifting! #indiedev #gamedev #gameengine

One of the main AME Engine goals is to make it super easy to create game entities. You can mix and match custom modules to build robust behaviors, no programming required: high customization, clean structure, and systems that just work together! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

What's you idea of a good GUI editor? 🤔 I think it should be 100% intuitive, light, fast, have basic functionalities like anchors and generally stay out of your way. Oh, and binding should be overly simple. If you agree with me, you'll like AME. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

It's #gamedev resource sharing time again! 😄 Did you know that universities like MIT allow you to follow top-notch courses at exactly 0$? Most of these have lessons assignments, labs and other material included (also gratis, dear #indiedev), so that you can follow them as if you attended MIT!

Check this project out! 👇 Making things like your own engine or renderer is super fun and educational, I'd recommend it even to people more interested in gameplay programming and design! #indiedev #gamedev #3d #renderer

For clarity: I don't want to encourage any flame war or anything. Honest mistakes happen. But this is a mistake. Please use nodes as much as possible in Godot, that's how the software was designed. It is not random and has to do with ECS, the same paradigm used in AME. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

👇 AME's GUI editor: Intuitive. Lightning fast. Very powerful. You can do anything you want, working in a completely modular environment with easy input-output event linking. Best practices and typical solutions are suggested and guided! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

What makes AME's GUI editor different? 🤔 I could say simplicity. But the real point is that the entirety of AME is built to guide the user through essential game dev skills, transferable to any tool - that's more than just simplicity. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

This is a useful resource for a lot of you guys - especially since I expect most of my followers are in TTRPG. Enjoy! 😄

I recommend VEXED for all game devs, especially tiny teams and solo devs who aren't able to make their own assets. I've known and liked VEXED's artworks for a very long time :)

It's still surprising, to me, how much math can help you develop a good, funny game. It's not just about the power it gives you for complex rendering/game engine software, it makes so much difference even for the simplest game concept 🤔 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

👇 Daily update: - Fixed GUI architecture 📑 Next: - Improve customization with all-visual approach #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

As someone deeply involved in engine dev, I always try to stay updated on all projects out there. I already knew Flax, but never tried it. Have you? 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools

AME Engine GUI's in the works! 💪 I think I've nailed the right design for this. Can't wait to share it with you guys! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools

What a cool project, check this out!!! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Serious question: Should game devs use an existing engine (AME, Godot, Unity...) or make their own? I think both are valid. Making your own engine is insanely educational and fun, but also extremely challenging and not for all creators. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines

Still working hard on AME's GUI!😻 It won't be just how the engine ui looks, it will also be the system users use to create their own custom GUIs for their games: Player HUD, game menu, gameover screen... - that's why it's so important! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools

For anyone who missed this. I used this site to go from 0 to college in mathematics. Pretty useful when you're in game development. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #math

👇 Daily update: - Designed GUI elements and system - Minor fixes 📑 Next: - Implement & test GUI #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

We're barely past day 2 and only 5 bucks away from hitting 85% of our goal, sending this into the streets in the hope of someone wants to throw five dollars at a bunch of crusty indie devs (less than a coffee or cheese of middling quality) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ind... #indiedev #chicago

I just found out @khanacademy.org is on Bluesky! 👇 It's an AMAZING, completely FREE platform for learning. I know there are a lot of indie devs here: go to this platform and I promise you'll learn the math you need for game dev -and have fun! That's what I did 😻 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #math

Working on AME Engine's GUI system!😻 I opted for not using a GUI library. I feel like something as specific and complex as an engine should be built 100% with dedicated tools and architecture. It's also very complex but very fun! ♥️ #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools

Don't miss this week's #devlog! Main news is the addition of Web Publishing, I kept it short and clear 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools

I absolutely, undoubtedly LOVE Lua. ♥️ It's my favourite language along C (C, not C++!) 👀 What's *your* favourite language? Let me know in the comments! 🤔😍 AME is mostly built in Lua, unsurprisingly!👇 #screenshotsaturday #DevTools #indiedev

Solving some weird cases of blank screen when generating maps 🤔 Should be able to start working on publishing upgrades today anyway, don't worry! 💪 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

Map generation testing will be finished for today! ✨ This means tomorrow I'm starting with the upgrade for game publishing - especially for the very requested web publishing! 🔝😍 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

Life's getting in the way a lot today. I need to move and I think I've seen every cheap, decrepit house within 100km. Each time I see how much I'll need to do to fix these places I kinda feel a bit panicked, ngl. Luckily I'm making good progress with AME! ❤️‍🩹 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

Hey guys! Working the new YouTube video! 🎦 As usual, I'm trying to give you something of value. I think the right direction is to create longer-format videos, as it's hard to explain and follow concepts in series of short videos! 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

👇 Weekly update: - Completely rewrote map generation - Rewrote secondary functions - Optimized data flow/storage 🔭 Next week’s plan: - Test & fix the new systems - Upgrade & fix game publishing #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

Done a lot today 💪😍 I finished updating most code for map generation. Now working on the entities spawning dedicated func but it should be ready by the end of the day! 👀 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog

👇 AME Engine update: had to re-make from scratch how map data is transformed in the actual game map, still WIP. To be fair, it was a good thing, the old csv-based version was way to convoluted... #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

Making good progress with AME Engine development! 💪 Map reading/generating system is now being updated to work faster and accomodate mixed level design techniques - manual, modular and procedural! 🔝 #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

Just finished the new YouTube short! 👇 Here's the link if you missed this series! 🎦 www.youtube.com/shorts/DCFP9... #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

🏋️ Working on the full-version video tutorial for OOPBA and coding AME tools at full speed today! Hope you're having a great monday working on your games! :) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

Hey guys! I'm coming back full speed on monday. 👀 In the meantime the new episode of my mini-series is coming out saturday evening as usual. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

This is Stein! An absolute menace. He chases rats, knocks over items, and fights with customers. You'll need to keep an eye on him... #gamedev #indiedev #indie #indiegamedev #indiegame #marketingmonday #madewithgodot #steam #wishlist #cat

France starts moving government systems from Windows to Linux France is ditching US software for homegrown alternatives of Google Docs, Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Telegram Libre Office is very good. www.techspot.com/news/112032-...

Hey guys! 😍 My YT short on Inheritance VS Aggregation is out (part 2!), check it out 👇 #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

New short finished and programmed for tomorrow evening! Don't miss AME updates and educational content on YouTube! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

Hey guys! Out of nowhere, I was wondering: has any of you ever developed games with a Framework (ie Love2D) or you always use engine such as Unity and UE4? #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

Hey guys! I'm in arctic Sweden right now, and I'm working on the next YT short and coding AME :) I hope to have the first engine videos available in a couple of months max. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

New YT Short WIP, I have both content and structure established. Making some nice progress on AME Engine systems improvement. Still a lot to do, but it’s finally definitely moving in the right direction! :) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine

🎬 Kicking off a new series of YouTube Shorts about AME Engine I’ll be sharing practical ideas and design concepts you can apply to your own games or engines! First one is live! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools

Had a terrible night, couldn't get any sleep, woke up at 5:00AM. Started working on AME content. Now everything is great. I love my job. Btw, I just finished my first educational experimental content and I'll soon need your feedback! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools
