This is actually nice, certain tools might let you know when your code is referenced in public repos in Github. In this case it's from a game template, but always a good reminder to update my credits list 😛 #gamedev

Version 0.4 is out, now with a nice animated background to chill while you drink your fresh water 😎
Also, a 16/9 in incremental DB is definitely a personal record! :D #gamedev

Just "vibe coded" this little incremental game using Gemini 2.5 and my 0 knowledge of javascript and p5.js.
I don't even want to look at the code 😂 but so far it's being a fun experience of telling what to implement next, although I'm missing a proper IDE integration

Very proud of this small designed and #3Dprinted gadget to hold my Ikea's greenhouse lid. Prints in place with working hinge and needs some tree supports for the hook. Took me ~3h to design and ~1h to print on my new #X1C 😍

My latest #gamedev sidetrack is that I discovered a neat Discord bot API made in Kotlin and I'm playing with it with no specific purpose 😂 Cannot not-love any API that looks like this for prompt-response interactions by using coroutines 😍

Remember #godot #gamedevs out there, if you don't want the sound control of your games to work like Bluesky's audio control in videos, where at ~40% you can barely hear the sound anymore... remember to map your slider's linear values to proper DB values:
`linear_to_db` and `db_to_linear` FTW!
`linear_to_db` and `db_to_linear` FTW!

Sooo it seems adding a save feature wasn't that bad at the end!
Managed to save player's inventory, quests and world state (interactions, unlocks, etc) in one night.
Also went a bit rogue and added a little hacky code to display the saved game day on the menu 🤭

I've been playing around with beepbox.co and it's definitely a great tool even for newbies as myself :D
Preparing for an exploration game, where would you put a theme like this?

Refreshing the home feed on the web doesn't seem to work very well sometimes. This screen appears briefly when hitting the load more button and now it stays after refreshing
