Otto's Basketball Game's v0.9 is now playable on Itchio! Help me get this to a v1.0 by giving it a try and leaving a comment here on Bsky (reply or dm) or on Itch! ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket... I made hours' worth of last minute changes, so hopefully I didn't totally break it :--) #gamedev

Streaming occasionally lets me capture the genuine look of disappointment when I see some particularly terrible code past me wrote 😆

I realized my games are often “curated simulations” in that they approach things from a physical simulation perspective but don’t necessarily simulate the real-world activity faithfully/completely.

"Öoo" has been nominated for Gameplay Design at The Indie Game Awards🎉 @indiegameawards.gg I’m honestly shaking to be listed among such legendary creators. With almost no marketing power, this was only possible thanks to your word of mouth. Thank you so much.

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all (game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw) #gamedev #lowpoly #axz

Indie devs: what’s your “I could have made that” game?

I want to make an off-roading game, but I want to drive on furniture instead of nature

it's release day. <3 please buy or pirate Merp in Merpworld. storefronts and links to everyone who helped make this beautiful video game 🧵 below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWWj...

I was holding the accelerator trigger at like 5% lol

“Floor is Lava” is one mission type I’m working on for “Drive On It”, I’m excited to make more missions types soon.

Break dancing in a 4x4 🛻🕺

Two laps drifting through the Mount Rushmore parking garage from my game “Parking Garage Rally Circuit”

Attention Indie Devs! I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility. The anti-spam key is "kook". lonewulfstudio.com/indieshowcas...

I was adding a passenger into the 4x4 and at this intermediate step things suddenly seemed very dramatic 😅

Hi #PitchYaGame! Our ghostpunk roguelike deckbuilder set in a haunted hotel comes out Jan 27 2026! Come for the 90s nostalgia and teen drama, stay for the chance to throw a rice cooker at a clown or dynamite a spider horse! store.steampowered.com/app/1727590/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxTh...

Code is cheap. Of course this is a nuanced topic but I generally feel this way.

A big part of gamedev is working out custom ways to use your tools to create the specific content for your game.

This is my game “Drive On It” still in early development but already sooo relatable 😛

Ranma 1/2!!!! #art

if you have ever played BLOCKSUM, I need you to check out SINGOU BREAKA-- it's got the blocksum DNA and it's really engaging, surprising, and unique! The mechanics feel like they'd be too limiting but somehow they aren't store.steampowered.com/app/3506550/...

Car vs Mattress Tower

No animations just IK and code for dynamically posing the driver. Still a lot more to do but I’m happy with the progress.

friendly reminder Parking Garage Rally Circuit is an ideal Steam Deck / handheld game, and it's Steam Deck verified too 🚗💨 store.steampowered.com/verified/273...

Why is everyone talking about modern AAA games when you can just play the Sega Saturn instead

Math and geometry in #gamedev are so cool 😇

Springs instead of tweens or animations: one of my favorite #gamedev techniques!
