We just found out that we can't make #multilingual posts on #bluesky. Well, we can, but it appears most users set their content language to just their native language and that causes Bluesky to filter posts tagged with multiple languages, so almost nobody sees it 😕

Maybe separate posts work better?

I'm feeling inspired to compose new #gamemusic in the #indiedev studio today. 🎶 I'm thinking of a droning but driving background track and a sister track in a relative modal key. Then I can create a mashup of the two for a 3rd track, which could create musical symmetry among them. 🤔

Our #indiedev duo has a functional game loop demo! It's ugly and not ready for public comment, but our game designer and tester can help us get there. Now our process switches from building to refining. It's a fun transition!

Also, sorry we post early and neglect our time zone: Intentaré mejorar

It's finally p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y˰𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 pictures time! 📐🫥

This is fun but discarded #gameart for the back of a card, which was really just practicing with the new drawing pad and basics in #Krita. Being #indiedev means learning new things and reinvigorating some long-atrophied skills 😓

Our friends @playmodeofficial.bsky.social made something exciting for the #Dune Imperium Uprising #boardgames that holds all of the game pieces in AND out of the box so they come out ready to play! Cut our setup time in 👉⅓👈

I want this for all our #tabletopgames. Check them out!

We're not quite ready to post draft #gameart 😰

So by way of apology, please accept a picture of our boys also looking at us impatiently

We're now deep into coding what concert tours will look like in Improve the Groove but we've also created a few art concepts along the way. Stay tuned for p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y˰𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘵 pictures! 📐🫥

Save drafts! 🚨

#IndieDev isn't a perfect process. We discovered our #gamedesign was bad when testing the game loop and it felt like failure. Was there a bad change or was it always bad? 😨

Luckily we could revert to our first draft cards and game balance was restored, revealing the bad changes. 😌

Who looked at this and said, "this is a music game!"?

We did... allegedly.

No more working title!

"Improve the Groove" will be the first game from #indiedev Studio Dhjamb!

We felt like this was a good fit after developing the mechanics of how audiences react to your band's evolving musical style that is based on how you upgrade and play the cards

Studio Dhjamb is registered for Super #MAGFest in January and we're excited to attend!

If anyone wants to chat #indiedev, #GodotEngine, or #VideoGameMusic (Jeff is a musician and huge #VGM fan), please feel free to hit us up to meet and chat!

Some big developments last month...

- Theme established: Music! Build a band and earn fans around the world!
- Outlined a #gameaudio structure using #Godot for dynamic background music to support the theme!
- Game title brainstorming (soon no more "Project Purple")!

Work on the #gameaudio and #gamemusic is taking off! We had a great meeting with our collaborating analog #drummer to conceptualize and compose distinctly different moods that complement the draft synthesized tracks. Can't wait to see how this plays out (pun intended)!

We learn more and more about what we can do with #Godot for #indiedev every week! And today we'll give the first demonstration of Project Purple (working title) to the game designer who helped us create the physical card prototype that our deckbuilder is based on.

Exciting!

Hey, #GamingCommunity! What are your *all-time* favorite games?

We challenged ourselves to list up to 50 of our favorite #gaming experiences by asking, "What games do you have the fondest memories of playing?" We then rank-ordered and compiled them to generate the #StudioDhjamb top 10!
May 23, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Well, it's not always about #gamedev in an #indiedev studio. Sometimes you're trying to get #linux and #godot to run well on a laptop that wasn't specced for #linuxgaming development and demonstration. However, it's good manners to share when you succeed:

We revisited our list of game conferences to consider and saw that ECGC has ended. 😢 What other east coast #gamedev conferences are US #indiedev studios interested in?

We're looking at #godotcon and next year's #magfest since we're mid-Atlantic, ourselves

Hello friends, Jeff here to tease our first game! 🎉 It's a deckbuilder that will have you play from your deck to your opponent's position as well as your own! Choose the combination that gives you the advantage! 🤔 Much more to come!
