If it was just a « vibe coding soft helper », focused on game dev, why not.

But straight up stealing pixel art to produce garbage animations and what not ?
Urgh.
Head's up to the #GameDev community: there's a new version for the retro-style gaming IDE called Sorceress Game Creation Suite & Tools 2.0 that comes with a built-in AI coding agent for #VibeCoding. This is news, not recommendation---yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAfV...

The emergence of 'friendslop' games is reshaping the gaming landscape, with indie developers rapidly jumping on the trend characterized by low-cost, humorous multiplayer experiences.
Friendslop games are dominating 2026. It's time to take them seriously.
Games like We Are So Cooked, Log Riders, and Yapyap are flourishing on platforms like Steam thanks to a widespread embracing of friendslop

Two posts for the price of one today !

Trying to figure out #pixelart, since I want to have two characters with simple animations for my game

I must be doing something wrong with AI, but I feel like I'm just wasting time trying to debug the code I get, where the one I'm writing myself works most of the time.

Anyways, new day new feature : object inspection !

Working on a 2.5D horror game !

Will be a really small scope (I hope lol.)

If anyone has a great technique to fade in/out a particle system in #Unity, let me know !

If any indie dev have a demo or a free/cheap game they'd like me to check out then please shoot me a reply. (Or any indie artist/creator that wants feedback on their stuff in general)

Looking to try new things and talk to new ppl

You can now generate an animation with a prompt.
But why, when you can spend hours doing a shitty and hilarious one in Unity ?

You can tell not enough people played Kingdom Come 2 last year, because the finale to this random sidequest didn't get the full Game Awards stage treatment.

J-7 avant la prochaine Indie Game Night ! 💫

Il est temps de lever le voile sur l’une des trois présentations de la soirée…

Depuis son trailer en 2018, le développement de @hytale.bsky.social a connu de nombreux rebondissements jusqu’à sa sortie miraculeuse ce mois de janvier.

... why I use @kenney.nl assets instead of my own for any 2D game I'm making #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #whatthefuckisthat

Pretty sure 30% of the code I write ends up being useless lmao, good practice !
A less exciting (but equally important) aspect of #gamedev on this #screenshotsaturday is the cleaning up of the underlying programming. So I've been busy deleting unused variables, fixing errors and adding notes wherever possible.

En vrai je m’sens trop bête de pas avoir fait ça plus tôt mdr, genre je me suis fait chier TELLEMENT de fois sur du level design pour ça.
I don't know why I never did that before, but made a quick tool following @rystorm.com 's video :
A Zoo Maker, so that I can finally browse all the assets I bought, instead of dropping them in the scene one by one, to see how they look.
