Spring has arrived in GoBattle.io! 🌸 I am really happy with how the new boss turned out, drawn in Aseprite and animated in Spine. If you love old-school platformers, you should try it! ⚔️🎮 #PixelArt #IndieGame #RetroGaming #GoBattle #GameDev #indiedev

I’ve added an API to Uxperior that lets you use the desktop capture as a texture, allowing shaders to transform the content. Here’s a privacy filter done in just 50 lines of code (code in the video). I’ll make all filters open-source so anyone can create their own! #MacOS #IndieDev #buildinpublic

Here’s a better video of the vintage TV skin example, this time over the VLC app, since the Apple TV app doesn’t allow screen recording. #MacOS #RetroTech #IndieDev #UIUX #AppDevelopment #buildinpublic

Another example of a Uxperior plugin using window positioning: a focus/relax mode for any app, like the Notes app, for example. #MacOS #Productivity #IndieDev #AppDevelopment #buildinpublic

I’ve added an API to track the position of windows on macOS, enabling Uxperior plugins to do things like create custom skins or interact with window edges. In this video, you can see a skin for the Apple TV app that transforms it into a vintage TV! 📺😊 #MacOS #IndieDev #UIUX #RetroTech #buildinpublic

Carsick.app has passed $200 MRR! 🎉 The Windows version is almost ready, and I’m hoping it gives things a nice boost. 🚀

The new version of carsick.app with background support is ready on the App Store! I was not sure Apple would allow it as I had to do a hack to keep the Bluetooth connection in the background.

Thanks to my app, Carsick.app, I can now use my MacBook during my trip to Los Angeles without feeling sick. If you struggle with motion sickness, give it a try! carsick.app

I’m developing a new Mac App that lets you customize your Mac’s UI with customizable effects powered by my 2D engine. It supports shaders, animations, and full programmability with LUA. I’ll also release the source code for all effects. Let me know if you’re interested! #macos #indiedev #ux

Balancing a game is so challenging! We made a change to GoBattle’s King mode that increased the average playtime by 25% and better balances the skill of new players. But now some high-level players are complaining because it relies more on skill. #gamedev #indiedev #GameBalancing

Having a lot of fun adding more controls and experimenting with the Metal shader in my app, Carsick.app.
Carsick.app is like the iOS 18 visual motion cues feature but made for your Mac. If you get motion sickness, give it a try! carsick.app

Sometimes I forget the impact GoBattle.io has because I can’t dedicate 100% of my time to it. But I’m amazed when I see stats like these: the number of players who have tried the game on CrazyGames and their ratings. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #GoBattle

I love drawing pixel art too, even though I’m not the best at it. Here’s a boss for GoBattle.io that I’m working on. I drew it in Aseprite and I’m animating it with Spine. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #GoBattle

Here’s a quick look at my voxel engine! 🎥 This video shows it in much better quality than the last one, where the Chromebook screen didn’t do it justice. Still a work in progress, but it’s getting there! #gamedev #indiedev #voxel #multiplayer
