I find myself in the insane position of not needing to work for the next ~18 months, so if you're an #indiedev and you need #programming help for cheap, send me a DM. I have endless time and I'd love to work with you! Please share so whoever needs this might see it! #gamedev #videogames

Tonight I’m watching ‘The Elephant Man’. My first David Lynch film I’m pretty sure. What should I watch next?

I'm hoping to start a new project in August, any non-programmers looking to collab on something? Your ideas or mine, I'm happy either way 😄 I have ~10 years SWE experience and have been making little games for most of that time. DM me! #gamedev #art #pixelart #collab #lfg #indiedev #videogames

So so happy with the impact animation I drew for the players laser cannon, I never thought I'd get to a point where I was actually proud of art I'd created but this whole project is shaping up to be something really fun. First time for everything I guess :D #playdate #pixelart #indiegames #gamedev

#gamedev and #art folks, do you use TikTok to show off the stuff you make? Do you get engagement? Is it worth the effort you put in?

Kinda fun story - I accidentally made a (terrible) autopilot for the space station interior. #playdate #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart

A little bit more of my space station interior, what do you think? #indiedev #playdate #pixelart #gamedev

I've been working hard adding a space station interior zone to Cranky Aliens, here are some WIP screenshots. If you think they're cool, consider liking and sharing? It helps little devs out so much. Thanks! #playdate #indiedev #pixelart

Ive had an insanely productive couple of weeks and Im pretty proud to be able to share more screenshots from my upcoming playdate game Cranky Aliens - I hope you like them! The finished game will have 3 stages, each with a unique player character and boss battle #playdate #gaming #noai #indiedev

I always forget that i'm supposed to actually share what I'm working on every one in a while... So here's a WIP from an upcoming @play.date title. I'll share more over the next few weeks with a hopeful release sometime before summer. #indiegames #gamedev #videogames #playdate #pixelart #monochrome

It also glosses over that those intermediate stages are crucial to the end product. By having an AI do that work you're outsourcing your creative vision to a Frankenstein's monster made of the stolen ideas of other artists, and by the same token feeding the monster with your own ideas.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Wow I have been super not present for a few months now. People of Bluesky... what's going on? Tell me about what you're working on, or want to work on. Any and all. If you're reading this, I mean you! #gamedev #indiegames #makers

I'm so happy with how this is coming together now, the laser feels fantastic. It still needs more juice but I'd say this is about 50x as effective as the previous iteration, what do you think? #playdate #1bit #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Slow progress as Ive been in a bit of a slump but my little guy can shoot now. I hoped I could get away with not showing projectiles bc of the performance cost but I dont think this sells the effect. Anybody got any ideas for ways I can add juice without more sprites? #playdate #gamedev #indiedev

You've got about an hour left to score Brutal Legend (one of the best heavy metal games of all time), for $0.00 (one of the best prices of all time). doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend The 666-minute giveaway might almost be over, but our love for Ozzy will never end. 🤘 🖤 🤘

I've been doing some @play.date dev recently, it's a tonne of fun and really easy to get into. GIF from what I've been working on 👀 #playdate #indiegames

Accessibility question for PC games - What I'm working on right now will have the mouse as the only means of interacting with the game (nothing very precise). Are there accessibility concerns with that? If so, what alternatives can I consider? #indiedev #accessibility

Would anybody with a background in 'professional' game dev be willing to chat with me a little about project planning and project management when working within teams? Super engaging topics I know 😭 I'd be very grateful! #gamedev #indiedev

Our new game I AM RIPPER has just been announced! So proud to share this with you all! You can watch it here: youtu.be/wiJXmB20oEs
