That sounds awesome, I don't do Minecraft really. I mean, I used to, in build mode. If there is anything I can help you with, by all means let me know. For those of you who don't know Daniel yet, go drop him a follow. You won't be disappointed.
Hey Max!
I'm working on a Minecraft skin editor, mostly to use in my own work pipeline but since there are so many out there that rely on painting on the 3D model directly, I'm publishing it online on KoFi for others to use.
I mostly struggle with my state manager ATM haha!

Bluesky feels best for me when people actually talk to each other. Lately it’s felt a bit quiet here - let’s change that together.
Reply with (if you want ofc):
– what you’re making
– why it matters to you
– one thing you’re struggling with
I’ll follow a few, and I hope others do too 🤝

I've created a tiny little 1 minute devlog? youtube.com/watch?v=jgyf... The result of a poll I did a while ago, was that you wanted to see me do Devlogs, this probably is just halfbaked, but it shows the beginning of my weather system. Let me know what you think.

December is Poseidon’s month.

Not because the sea is calm —
but because it never stops moving.

Even storms shape the world.
Keep going. 🔱🌊

This morning I was nearly in an accident. Five centimeters made the difference. Even after a rotten night, my reflexes kicked in right when it mattered.

We’re often stronger and sharper than we think. If I can do it on a bad day, so can you.

Today I’m designing the Poseidon/Atlantis level for Gaia.
Most of Atlantis sits safely above sea level… until the boss fight, when Poseidon strikes the earth with his trident and the whole world floods.
What would you add to pre-flood Atlantis?
November 17, 2025 at 7:05 AM
I reworked some of the level design of Atlantis a little bit for Poseidon. Still not the tileset, but the dithering in the sky and mountains, as well as the reflection has been addressed. Now looks much cleaner, look at before and after. Before...

I recently released a psychological horror visual novel!

Gavriil and Yeva, strangers who met by chance on the same train, in the same cabin, and when their train derails in the middle of nowhere- they're suddenly forced to work together to survive.

Got some nice progress going today on the Poseidon level for Gaia. Made a very icky tileset I guess, but at least we can use it, and we got the parallax effect working. It is very subtle but I like it. More work needs to be done for sure. #indiedev #gamedev
October 23, 2025 at 12:50 PM
A quick update from the recent streams and I have been struggling because Poseidon himself seemed to want to destroy my water shader. I fixed it and this gave me the chance to make a new scene for Poseidon. I designed it first (first screenshot) added it to Unity next. #indiedev

Lets go gang! You all know what to do! Go give this game a wishlist (don't forget to also hit follow) and play the demo if you want. I will be adding it to my wishlist as well.
This indie game looks super cute with the snow globe diorama. Let's see if we can get the dev some more eyes. store.steampowered.com/app/3030650/...

In Gaia, every God leaves chaos behind. But progress means cleaning up the mess and learning from it. #DevLoreMonday What mess are you cleaning up today?
