Ok last weekend I was animating a book, this weekend I did the sound effects of the book (and tiles) in my game. It was more fun than I expected actually. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Things 2025 taught me about Game Development part 2 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev
Tiny features make a big difference. There should probably be dogs in your game. Some tiny bugs will take a long time to fix and some big features will be quicker to implement than you think. Try to stay calm and ride the wave. Try to have fun. Games are meant to be fun.

Things 2025 taught me about Game Development Make small games! Your first game should not be your magnum opus. Get the scope down and don't allow feature creep. You don't have to make your own artwork to make a game you can buy asset packs from other artists on itch.io so you can just focus on programming. Some of them are free. (Also don't use AI for artwork, duh) Ask people to play test! They will be happier to help than you think and you're so close to the game that you might not see something obvious

I just went live on TikTok playing a little indie game I found called Across Stitch, and it was terrifying! I had some technical issues but I got through them and really I think 2026 is the year that I do more things that scare me. Just imagine what the year would look like if you do that. #indiedev

Updates on my next game! It’s a potion puzzle game and you click ingredients in certain patterns to eliminate the potion cards. It’s early but I’m pleased with it. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #cozygames

My Little Christmas Market has now overtaken my first Itch game, that has been up for 3 months, in views (and also collections) in a week!! I'm really proud and pleased with the growth, this is really the sign I needed to keep making my small games. 👾 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #cozygaming

The solitude of making a game is really nice. Then entering the social world and marketing it is... a real pivot. Surprisingly I don't hate it but it does feel like emerging from hermit mode. #gamedev #indiedev

Told myself I would take the evening off promoting my game and play The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood instead. Then I saw a small bug in someone else's gameplay and had to fix that. 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev

My day has been made by a video reviewing my game!! Also they uncovered the secret that the lamp posts can also be moved. 🎄 I am just so blown away by the kindness of people taking the time to play my little game. #indiedev #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhAB... ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr...

I took the game dev advice of "make small games" very seriously with this one. A Little Christmas Market is free to play in browser on @itch.io ginacities.itch.io/a-little-chr... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #cozygaming
