I have been playing the beautiful Spring Falls by @sparsegamedev.bsky.social for inspiration. Obviously some thematic similarities, but it also has mechanic involving making connections. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Still prototyping. The idea is that flowers convert sunlight into energy which is transferred into the circuits of ancient machines. Playing with different ways of visualising that and mechanics around blocking/unblocking the sunlight. #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #blender3d #godot #indiegame

Well this is exciting!! I love the idea of being able to do a bit of modeling and animation work on my iPad in a coffee shop. Can't wait to see how it comes together #blender3d #indiedev

I freely admit that this is an ugly mess. But it is also the very first step in prototyping a new way of interacting with plants in my #indiegame #shorticulture. Hopefully this will come together over the next few days and I will share something more meaningful. #indiedev #godotengine

I have been experimenting with using synplant 2 as a #sounddesign tool for my #indiegame. It is capable of making the kind of organic otherworldly sounds I need. Also the plant vibe kinda fits with #shorticulture. #indiedev #solodev

Oh my dog, it's full of rats! Making a #indiegame is an odyssey filled with perils! Chief amongst those perils for this #indiedev is an inability to type accurately.

Am I the only #indiedev who hates admin? Thought not. But there comes a point where you have to take a day off working on your #indiegame and catch up on that mountain of paperwork. Regrettably, today is that day...

This is divisive I know (happy to have the debate) but I use AI as visualisation tool. The will be no AI generated content in game. It just allows me to iterate ideas quickly before designing assets. This was a mock-up of my plant-walker drone. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #midjourney

Sp1k-E has an upgrade to their scanner. Now it locks onto the closest track and follows it. This makes it much easier to see what happens with circuits below the surface. Next step, come up with a nice UI to enable switching tracks. #inidedev #indiegame #shorticulture

I've been wanting to try this for a while, #shorticulture on #ios. No touch UI yet (using a Bluetooth controller) and the framerate isn't amazing. But I'd say it's playable. #indiegame #indiedev #godotengine
