Just stumbled upon this and it looks just my kind of thing. Will be checking out the demo later.

Love the look of this character. That's, what has drawn me in to check this one out. Realizing now as a #gamedev I should be analysing exactly what makes me, and others, click the link. Any suggestions?
Mashina is OUT NOW.

Dig and mend the world in this chill stop-motion mining adventure.

I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Great looking #Godot project here. Will be following this one closely.
Changed my tree models to use quad billboarding, I had wanted to get this kind of shader working for other kinds of trees and bushes mainly but I like how it turned out with these ones. May mix in my old models too for variation but we'll see

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

Nice! Not in need of vast grassy planes myself right now, but very interested to understand the techniques behind this.
Infinite grass in Godot! I'll present today at Berlin Mini Game Jam my grass patch generator and foliage renderer, which allows to render multiple layers of foliage infinitely... With visibility ranges, wind, obstacles and quality settings ^^

Love the idea of this one. Going to be checking it out later.

Interesting insight into designing an adventure game.
Channelling classic point-and-click energy, THE DRIFTER dives deep into pixel art grit and Aussie pulp suspense. @dave.powerhoof.com breaks down the narrative craft and 70s thriller vibes in this stylish new release.

I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine

I need to work on my tooling, so I'm always keen to see what other #godot users have done. Looking forward to playing with this one.
My GridMapLayer plugin is on Godot's Asset Library now!
godotengine.org/asset-librar...

Recently I've been using it to play around with rendering Pokemon's FireRed/LeafGreen tileset in 3D! It's been an interesting experiment so far. I'd love to see how others utilize it!

I have zero context on this, but I just love the animation style. Hopefully there will be more of this soon.

Happy #screenshotsaturday! I am in the process of reimagining my #indiegame with a simpler more abstract graphical style. Something more along the lines of #monumentvalley. The main reason for this is readability. There is too much going on in the current demo that distracts from the puzzles.

I have been experimenting with using synplant 2 as a #sounddesign tool for my #indiegame. It is capable of making the kind of organic otherworldly sounds I need. Also the plant vibe kinda fits with #shorticulture. #indiedev #solodev
July 11, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Looks like a useful tool for all us #godot devs.
