🎃 #CodeAndCauldrons Day 1!!!! Today was um BUSY! I had a lot of Uni stuff today BUT whilst I was half asleep in lectures I was also thinking of ideas and I chose one! I'm going to do a bit of a speed running anomaly game ish? Every day you wake up to find the doll. If you don't find it in time...

A few days later and its looking pretty similar but I now have a system for the idle clicking plus an actual way to upgrade your clicks / idle power. Pretty excited for where this project might go in terms of features (like meteors!)

Day 1 of development on Earth clicker #indiedev

I want to create a game were people are excited for new updates to drop. Were there is a community of people who really enjoy it and want more and more of it. Its going to be a lot of work but I know it will happen, one day, I hope. Just wanted to put this out to the world :) Have a great day

WIP Prototype (yes very early) for a bumper carts mobile game! Im trying to show more stuff here, maybe this is too early but oh well :)

Imagine working on your 18th birthday.... lol who would do that... Oh wait, ME! AND I got a FREE Sunday roast and a FREE chocolate cake

I turn 18 today. By the time it was 12:17 I had bought a Google Play developer account. Yesterday I made a studio name, im currently getting all the socials sorted. This might be the start of it. Big stuff coming soon. 🚗🌪

NEXT WAVE IS OFFICIALLY OUT! If you'd like to see some upcoming indie games, be sure to check it out in this showcase brought to you by Story Nerd Studios! #gamedev #indiegame youtu.be/jmUDmLRWDkc

Well I am glad that I turn 18 soon but like come on... I dont fancy giving my face to people

I wanna turn the phone operator role from the series The Night Agent into a game :)

Hi, I am a senior game designer.. Oh I am also a senior managing programmer, director of art and animation, lead technical artist, head of marketing and chief financial officer.

Toblerone ad jump scared me, im boycotting it now.

Bluesky is just as political as Twitter. Ok maybe not the SAME but its BAD. I come here to check out cool game dev stuff and I just see people shitting on America. It doesn't matter my opinion, I dont want to see any of that. Please, let me live in my own word.

Am I cooking or nah? (THIS GAME IS SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED AHHHHH 🤪🥳😫)

My grandad just introduced me to his vinal player and tape player and CD player. I didn't even know he had it. Got to listen to some roy orbison the way it's meant to be listened to. Made me realise I am sick of sites like Spotify ruining music with adverts.

Update on current STUFF coz I feel like it's about time to spill some stuff :) I am currently working on THREE projects! One of them is SO close to being finished I just need to lock in for a day but can't be bothered. I'm not really counting it as a current project anymore I guess. However...

Just finished college! Time to lock in on my game until Uni starts

First 3D model character, kinda cool

My Dad stopped talking to me around when I was 16. I say this not for pity, but to let folks know that if you don't have a dad, to celebrate today, that's okay. Celebrate yourself for getting this far without one. To those dads doing the job and doing it well, Happy Father's Day.

I'm also inspired to create a YouTube channel called Rantendo and rant about Nintendo stuff like its 2013 with gameplay in background

Its so nice to hear so much positivity about the Switch 2 and MK World! There was so much hate before we even went hands on and yes it's expensive, but I believe it's so worth it. Let's all try and be more hopeful for upcoming things (Tomodachi Life Living The Dream)!

Wow. The Switch 2 is a great console and I love it! Mario Kart World is such a fantastic and chaotic game and 24 players really makes it so much more crazy. This is my first release day purchase ever and am super excited for the future games of this console.

Managed to order a switch 2 which is in store right now, going to pick it up after college!!!

Guys, be nice!

I've been messing around with comic ish things for the first time and its been fun to create really short (and crappy) sketches. Each are just a piece of A4 paper folded into 8 pages.

👽 Here's a look at how my games going for the 185th Mini Jam! The theme is Aliens and the limitation is "Limited Space". It's my first Jam so this has been a really interesting experience but I am pretty proud of my product so far :)

I'm taking part in the Mini Jam #185! The theme is "Aliens" and the limitation is "Limited Space" (what a great limitation lol). I already have my idea, and I'm excited to share more as the jam continues! (1/?)

If anyone wants to help out with the show, shoot us a DM! Mostly looking for video editors to help with the trailer segments in case it ends up being too much for one person. If you want to help out in a different way, we have an official Patreon! patreon.com/thestorynerdstudios #gamedev

I have 3 mobile game prototypes, 1 PC game prototype and a web game 80% done. I'm finding it really hard to finish a project. This web game is SO CLOSE! I just need to finish level locking and create a settings UI for it to be a finished game. But no! My brain is like, hmmm new project yes please.

Guys Trello is down, this means I can't do any work (trust)

This is more important than ever. GTA 6 has just been pushed back to 2026 but an indie dev has just reached the top charts of Steam with Schedule 1. If you are reading this, you have so much potential to be BIG and share your passion to the world. Keep going. Keep trying. Keep having fun. #indiedev

BlueSky let me tell you something.... All I want to see is: 1. Indie Game development 2. Indie Game Development 3. Indie Game Development 4. More Indie Game Development

Something bad happened in the mail room #gamedev

Saw Unity did this earlier now GameMaker too! Any other engines joining in? * cough cough * @godotengine.org

This is pretty sick, no matter your opinions on Unity.

Just got my self a 3DS and I'm so excited! So much nostalgia is gonna come my way

I'm so excited for the new Tomodachi game! Literally Monday I was thinking how cool it would be to make a game like the original so I'm super excited

Actual progress???? Crazy! Glad to say I have done quite a bit today and now have a lot of the main system working for my capture the flag game.

Getting something to work truly is an amazing feeling :) Have a good day everyone and keep at your projects!

My game caused me to almost lose my 90 day duolingo streak... Glad to say I got some sort of flag capturing system doing stuff but it's still really broken :)

Here's a new mini trailer for Paleophage, my Resident Evil and Dino Crisis inspired indie survival horror game. Thanks to everyone's support and feedback, there has been so much progress and so many updates to the game over the last few months, I figured it needed a new trailer.

My next game, “Kill the Twister”, an FPS boss fight against a giant tornado, is releasing April 11th! The game will be free, but if you wishlist now you can be notified once it’s released! store.steampowered.com/app/3417820/... #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity #FPS

I realise I have 725 followers but I haven't even posted any gifs of stuff I am working on. I want to share more stuff that I am working on, hopefully some coming soon!

I'm quickly realising how Godot really could be the best engine for my local multiplayer capture the flag game: - Super easy local multiplayer and controller support - That's about all I have done so far :) I'm excited!

I've decided to give Godot another chance :)

Would anyone be interested in a indie dev blog page but a bit more modernised? I'm aware blogging is dying a bit but I believe it still has a lot of use for indie devs. I know there are sites like indieDB but they aren't really modern. I'm just interested in hearing from people, might not do it :)

Big scary final exam in 10 min :)

BWAG Update: Added in the plush, as well as the accept or reject button. Of course, there are no variants of the plush to reject, nor any other reaction after accepting or rejecting them, but I really like how it all looks right now! Hopefully I can make the whole game eerie though #gamedev
