Two veteran developers starting anew, using Godot. We develop strategy games with original mechanics and ideas.

We're keeping our first game close to the chest for now, but feel free to follow for various gamedev tips.

The news of twitter officially becoming just a data pool for MuskyAI makes you kinda want to start a twitter account just to publicly delete it. :D

Indie life - actually making a game is a luxurious break from the daily life of applying for grants, building the website and having random meetings.

At least one of us is having the fun they signed up for :D

Guess it's a good time to announce our first game is going to be released on #switch2.

Eventually. When it's done. And when we find a publisher for consoles :D

This is very cool on 2 levels. One is the subject matter and the other is someone actually reading and interpreting the data correctly.
Developing a game compatible with Linux doesn't necessarily drive any significant increase in sales, but instead leads to far more bug reports.

So, was it worth it? Read @software.kodera.pl's experience.

Scope Creep happens when a developer doesn't believe their game is good enough.

Which is almost always.

POV: you're a programmer and are reacting to a designer just who tried to do some coding.

Without version control: ^$^&$)&$#@#@#
With version control: Hah, that's cute.

If you prefer to be cute, use version control.
