My friend recently published a chain-reaction deck-building game in #GodotEngine, and it's criminally undervalued. The core loop and progression of the game is really good, and overall a fun experience. Try it out! store.steampowered.com/app/4195030/...

New PlayStation marketing just dropped

Made a little Godot addon that turns special GDScript comments into "backsplashes". Makes my scripts more readable at a glance, and more fun. 🤓📝💦 Grab it here under "Hashtag Backsplash": codeberg.org/MajorMcDoom/... #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

I just noticed in the Credits of @blukulelestudio.bsky.social's Gambonanza, one of the names shows hearts particles when tapped, and I think it's a very cute and subte detail ☺️

😁⚡️ Exciting NEWS!! The new PinKeep trailer is out! The game changed so much over the past several months. We had to create a new trailer to make you as excited about it as we are! Check out the demo on Steam and share your thoughts!

I'm 1 Wishlist away to reach 50 Wishlists. Thanks god it's #WishlistWednesday! store.steampowered.com/app/4288970/... #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot

TIL that the History tab in the #GodotEngine Inspector, it's not just a log of messages, it's a list of snapshots that you can click, and revert to that state! 🤯 #Godot

Long time without posting, but worked a bit on the infinite Freeride mode for my snowboard game #gamedev #godotEngine #indiedev

The plugin is already in the AssetLib!! Since the plugin stores the settings and cheatsheets globally, you can add it to any project in like 3 clicks, directly in the engine!! #Godot #GameDev #Tool

The relatable parts of this story are: a) releasing a game on Steam b) crying

THIS. Give me more gaming stories like this. :D

A friend of mine who runs these things always repeats something to me along the lines of "Playtests and Research isn't for telling you the right thing to do, it's to confirm to you that your assumptions are correct and that your intentions are getting through to the players" and that's stuck with me

Dan Marshall@danthat.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same. Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush. www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/s/...

It's #WishlistWednesday for Snowboard Rogues! store.steampowered.com/app/4288970/ #indiedev #indiegame #godotengine

Having an almost perfect run at my snowboarding game #screenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Walking on the street. I put my headphones on, and play Emptylands - Blood Cultures. I close my eyes, and teleport instantly into the Underworld from @skatestory.com. I love games that build such a connection with the music, that let's you go back to that world from it.

Worked on the chairlift queuing #indiedev #gamedev #godotEngine

Worked on the avalanche today for my snowboarding game. #indiedev #godot #gamedev

Added a snow cannon, and rotating visuals for the characters in my top-down Snowboarding Roguelike game, just in time for #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev #Godot

Really photo editing here by Hector Vivas of Getty Images. Composite of the women's snowboard halfpipe final, depicting all the female Olympians who competed.

I was wasting too much time going to the specific scenarios I wanted to test in my game (even with LimboConsole), so I made a dropdown of scenarios next to the play buttons in #GodotEngine, so I just need to press F5 and that's it.

Finally created the Steam page for the snowboarding roguelike game I've been developing on #godot for the last months: Snowboard Rogues! Inspired by 90's SkiFree classic. Planning to release a demo on itch in the next weeks! s.team/a/4288970

🍣 Goblin Sushi is out now in Early Access! 🔥 The goblin kitchen is officially open with a 10% launch discount to celebrate. From demo to EA, shaped by your feedback. Now available on Steam, Google Play & the App Store. Thank you for the amazing support ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3734290/...

I always had the issue that in signal receiving callables I needed to declare all parameters, even though I only wanted to respond to an emitted signal, and not use the provided params. Varargs to the rescue: `signal_name.connect(func(..._ignored): …)`. Nicer and clearer 🥰 #godotengine #gdscript

Yesterday I finished @skatestory.com from @bysameng.com. This game felt and vibed to me like no other game before. It trully felt like pushing the boundaries of the media.

Some days ago, my girlfriend and I did old vinyl painting with acrylics, so I painted my favorite album cover "Currents" from Tame Impala.

Indie #gamedev would be perfect if I could avoid these moments, 1/x: You suspect that parts of your game aren't good enough, but you don't know which. You'll rebuild a perfectly OK feature while leaving in something show-stoppingly bad.
