My game The Collector, made for the Ludum Dare #58 Game Jam, ended up in 7th place in the Jam category. Huge thanks to Freeek and Lokiman, who helped a ton in the last few hours. ldjam.com/events/ludum...

Almost missed this Ludum Dare! Found out on Saturday morning. The theme was perfect, got an idea instantly. Started Sunday, finished Monday night with help from Josh & Vlad. They nailed the testing, balance, and SFX.

I made another game jam game! split82.itch.io/jump-and-dare This time for #BrackeysGameJam 2025.2. Climb a 400 m tower, collect gems, take daring bets, unlock upgrades, and claim the biscuit at the top! #RiskItForTheBiscuit #gamedev #indiedev

Working a bit on the UI for my small puzzle game. Wanted to try something more interesting this time, so I ended up with these flipping tiles. What do you think?

Made this small math puzzle game last week during Puzzle Game Jam. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to hit the deadline, but I will finish it anyway. Missing just some win animation, levels and menu :) #madewithunity #indiegame

Today is the 7th anniversary of Beat Saber! I found this cool screenshot of the commit history. It really shows that the real work began once the game was out :D

When updating to Unity 6000.0.47f1 my fixed timestep got set to 0.0001. Most of the projects will loose tons of FPS so it's pretty easy to figure this out, but on small projects I see only tiny bit different physics behavior :) @unity.com

Made a short trailer for another game jam game I made quite some time ago. I polished it a bit and hopefully will release it soon. #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

I was happy that reflection probe normalization when using SSGI with APV was finally fixed in Unity, but unfortunately now I can't bake APVs at all :D

Can someone recommend me a good alternative to Logitech MX Master 3S? I love the ergonomics, but hate the materials. No idea what they are making it from, but they somehow dissolve after quite short amount of time.

Hey Mike. New observation about LD web not working on iphone. It looks like there is some redirect. When I hit back in the browser I can briefly see the web, then it disappears again.

I love it when I start working on a feature that seems necessary, only to realize it will take quite a bit of time to implement. During the implementation process, I come to the conclusion that I might not need the feature at all. I just delete it from the to-do list. Done! :)
