I haven't updated this profile in a while. I want to start updating it again talking about my projects, current and future ones. Lately life has been kinda rough and just opening what basically is a work related profile wasn't too easy. Things are not better, but I want to try again.

For the past few weeks, I've been working almost nonstop on a new major update for Insane Escape. Currently, the complete changelog with all fixes, improvements, and new additions is 20-30 text editor lines long. It's going to be a big update.

Insane Escape Version 0.6 is out!
This new update comes with some rebalance in difficulty and some nice fixes!
You could almost say this is the "Merchant update".

There's still not much to show about the new game, but I can showcase some animations I made (just the animations, not the sprite itself) which I'm particularly proud of. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #animations

Btw if you want to watch me doing gamedev on this projects I go live on Twitch everyday except Sunday. I stream both gamedev *and* gaming, and unfortunately I stream in Italian, but if you still want to take a look at my work and say hi you can come Tue-Thu-Sat from 10 AM to 3 PM CET.

My radio silence this past month was due to a break in gamedev I took around Christmas and me working on this game *and* another project, and basically being unable to showcase anything. I hope to be able to share more on everything by the end of this week.

We are currently working on an update for Insane Escape that's going to add a lot of improvements, fixes and QoL to the game! We improved the lighting, we added some tutorials, we even added a new accessibility option! I hope to be able to share more soon. #indiedev #gamedev

I'm sorry I've not been posting much lately, I'm taking a small break for Christmas to rest a little bit. I'm actually working on some small stuff tho so I'll probably show you something new soon.

Interested in #indiegames? Want to try a #gamedemo on #steam? Then why not try Lab 77, and if you like it why not wishlist it and help this #gamedev get to 100 wishlists before launch.

Btw, I just want to point out that I actually got to 600 followers in like a month or two? On the other site that's called after a single alphabet letter (for some unknown reason) my all time high was about 700-800 after *years*.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I love BlueSky.

Even on Christmas, the bug-fixing never stops! ✨

We received a report the other day: apparently, the previous patch failed to fix a major bug so we rushed to fix it this morning.
We can't let players wait if it's important.

I've decided to try experimenting with 3D modeling I don't remember much about the Blender tutorials I watched like 2 years ago, and I mess up a lot, but I'm pretty happy with what I achieved this morning in a couple of hours, everything considered. #indiedev #gamedev #3dmodeling #blender

Hey #Godot friends! I got tired of needing to open my .obj files in #Blender and correct the origin/pivot point, so I created a plugin that does this in the editor 🙌

I have submitted it to the Godot Asset Library, it is pending approval 💙

regular reminder that it's very useful to indie devs if you review their games on steam, especially if their games have less than 10 reviews.
games can't have positive ratings on steam until they hit the 10 review mark, and they get a boost in discoverability when they hit this threshold 🙏
