I did some 1 bit-ish pixel art sketching today for my video game, and I’m very pleased with the results so far! 🎮 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegamedev
My game is coming along pretty well now. A little bit at a time. Think I’ll have a public demo ready soon. Still needs a name though. 🎮 #gamedev #indiegamedev
I kinda forgot how fun it can be to somewhat mindlessly poke around on a computer without any real intention.
I'm always working or gaming on them. It's been a minute since I vibed out on a desktop, for lack of a better term.
Anyways yeah that's what I was doing social media sucks bleh :p

While playing Super Mario Odyssey last night it dawned on me that Animal Well is also a collectathon. I need like, six more eggs? Last ones are frustratingly hard to find.

A coworker who generally advocates for AI recently admitted to me he was saddened by the possible future of coding not being what it used to be. Throw on your headphones, get in the zone, flow state, etc. 🧵1/2

Who knew that trying to record gameplay footage would be a task in and of itself. I thought it would be “click record”, but there is a lot of set up and trial and error to get the best image quality. #indiegamedev #gamedev

Real talk though, don't rely on the possibility of a viral post for success. Had to remind myself of this again. Better to start posting dev logs to slowly start building an audience, such as on YT. Do actual market research on games like yours and what you aspire to accomplish.
Why does game dev marketing advice feel so contradictory at times?
They’ll be like, “Don’t post anything unless you have a following and Steampage so you can get those wishlists!”
And at the same time, “You gotta post about your game so you can build your following!”

Past few weeks have been kinda rough, cleaning up bugs in my project. Got a lot done but doesn't feel like it. Pretty exhausting. Took a break over the weekend to chill, no code. Played hella games and watched some tube. Will be glad to get back soon to some no code tasks. #indieGameDev #gameDev

That’s not good news…
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Learned by accident recently in GameMaker:
If you middle-click a built in function, property, attribute, etc. the local docs will open to the page of said function, property, etc.
Also works on any assets in your project. It will just open that asset.
Super convenient!

I don’t always use caps lock, but when I do I make sure to forget it’s on and hold down SHIFT so everything is lowercase 🙃

Kinda hoping Borderlands 4 is good. The fact that it has couch co op and physical release at launch is appealing to me, wish more games had that these days. It’s dumb that the price is jacked up on it but I guess that’s gonna be more standard with AAA games.

Look, I'm not saying this is the right way to do things, nor am I recommending this, but sometimes you just gotta YEET stuff.
