Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Today we’re highlighting the cozy pet sim Give A Dog A Home by @gina.dev! 🐕💖

Pick from 15+ dogs & 4 rooms to make your ideal puppy space, then embed your new best friend to your site. They’ll nap, roam, bark & add the cutest touch to your page!

🔗 Give A Dog A Home
In my virtual pet game you can choose from 4 different rooms for your doggy to live in, which one is your favourite? 🌸🎃🌿💻 ginagiannetti.itch.io/give-a-dog-a... #gamdev #solodev #godot #indiedev

My little game opening ⭐ not sure if I've made it obvious enough that it's a tree? 🎄 #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Well I guess natural human movement is hard, because currently the market go-ers in my little Christmas game look like they're in a zombie apocalypse. sigh. #godot #indiedev #gamdev

My next small game is going to be a Christmas market! Here's the almond stand. The shopkeepers randomly generate so every time you load the game it will be different :) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

If like me you have more time than good sense you can change all your iPhone apps to look like the Nook Phone in Animal Crossing. Yes yes. xx #acnh #animalcrosssing #cozygames #cozygaming

Does anyone else remember the giant omelette in Neopets? Like I would go and get a free omelette every day?? #neopets #retroweb

@lyamgtt.bsky.social I've just fallen down a hole playing all your games on Itch and they are incredible! Such a pretty aesthetic I'm completely obsessed 💜💕

Another @neocities.org site has used my pet doggy! Ahh it makes me so happy! lemontchi.neocities.org/home #indiedev #gamedev #neocities #godot

I've added an animated CRT effect to my website just to add to the #retro vibe. Also there's a new cursor because... well you just have to really. gina.dev #webdev #indiedev #gamedev @neocities.org

This was the inspiration for my little game. My happy lucky rescue pup called Honey. #dogs #dogsofbluesky #indiedev #gamedev

This morning I was sent a website that has embedded my doggy game on their page! Ahh it finally happened 💕 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

My @neocities.org page was already showcasing my little game in action but now if you toggle dark mode it even changes the doggy and the room to match! gina.dev #neocities #webdev #gamedev #indiedev

Yesterday eve I had a comment on my Itch page that flagged a genuine bug, I fixed it and posted it in a devlog update. Maybe it's silly but the idea that someone found a bug while trying to use my little pet game made me feel like a real game dev. 🥹👾👩🏽‍💻 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Cool website idea: a "dark mode" button but when you click it things get spooky and mildly offensive ?? 💀 🎃 #webdev #indiedev

A couple days ago I tried to launch my game and Itch was down. Today I tried to market my game and there was a global AWS outage. I guess for the sake of the internet I should give up. 😭😭 #indiedev #gamedev
