Did another dev log recently where I talk about loot and how I make these systems more impactful and exciting than simple +1’s.

Originally I had no animation for opening random loot. But now you can kick the crap out of things to break them open!

So this tech guy made a post on LinkedIn about game dev layoffs, tactlessly suggesting "Just use AI to help you make your own game. The thing you always wanted to do."
I tried to tell him "gamers hate AI, watch out" and now some other tech guy is trying to convince me my experience is wrong.

I finished my playthrough of Fallout 1! At the end I do my typical scoring, in case you need a review that's 28 years late!

How do I encourage my users to leave a rating? I'm worried that since I have so few that it affects my visibility. Is this even worth thinking about?

RPG Maker can be a tough engine to get fancy features on. I tried various plugins to achieve lighting effects, but kept getting issues. So now I've devised lighting with no plugins for it!

0.3.10 update is live! Had to fix a major FPS issue related to loading saves.
There's also a new feature to make fights more threatening when there's only one enemy left. Should keep things engaging!

I once read another dev comment that he found playtesting his own game boring (for balancing/fun, not debugging). Maybe I'm a narcissist but I'm having a blast playing my own game. #indiedev #solodev

Another round of games I tried out to review. I may have some news on my own game later!

If you want to design a game but "hate math," too bad. Even the simplest games have hit points, statistical chance, frame timing, etc. You have to make formulae to tell things how to work!

Game Design hot take: stop putting combos in metroidvanias. SoTN didn't need it; think about why. Take that part of the scope and put it toward better system design. Your exploration needs it!

Had this idea in my head to try to mimic the style of key art used by big studios (specifically Cyberpunk 2077). Makes it feel less busy, more attention grabbing. #solodev

I never really realized just how comforting it is to be on a platform where like 50% of the posts I'm shown are from LGBT folk ❤️

Started working to remove the AI placeholders by frankensteining my assets together until I can get a real artist. Any thoughts? #solodev
