The question now is: Do I ❌Power through & try to do the levels myself knowing they will not be great - but can be a learning experience? ❌Bring someone else in - who I can't pay fairly ✔️Shelve the entire project until one of those 2 options become viable? #gamedev #indiedev

New game project has already stalled. I wrote up a ton of ideas and plans, coded out the basic gameplay and framework, started making levels... and... motivation fizzled out because I don't know how to make maps that are interesting and fun and not just going through the motions. #gamedev #indiedev

200,000 wishlists and 480k demo downloads later, How Many Dudes will be launching on July 30th! Our roguelike-strategy riff on the "how many men to defeat a gorilla?" meme surprised us, so here's a few surprises for you! 👇 store.steampowered.com/news/app/393... #indiegame #gamedev #steam

If I could afford to hire and pay for a: ⏹️ Marketing Director ⏹️ In-house artist ⏹️ Level designer I'd be living the dream... since no-body plays my games, I can barely afford to buy: ⏹️ Lunch #gamedev #indiedev

I keep re-discovering that I am terrible at is level design... I have obstacles, locks, keys, & abilities, but putting them into something like a puzzle that doesn't feel forced/boring/dumb ends up eluding me... I want this game to feel a certain way ... but its not happening for me. #indiedev

<sigh> Back at it again at the Krispy Kreme... I have already started working on my next game project. Here's a teaser of the kind of vibe I'm going for... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

I love when the news is talking about any kind of virus or something, they show footage of what it looks like under a microscope as if someone is going to go: "that's it! that's what I had!"

I had really thought that after 10 years I would have *some kind* of audience by now...

Feeling less than creative lately... no ideas feel like they are worthwhile to pursue... I keep putting stuff out and I get no engagement... no comments, very little feedback... what's the point?

Look what just arrived! Illustrated by @xanaroker.bsky.social #stickers #gamedev #indiedev

I would be more upset about Sony stopping physical discs if my PS5 disc drive didn't stop working immediately after my warranty ended.

Feeling down so I'm watching some classics. (Godzilla vs Mothra - 1992)

After all the voting, we ranked #1200/3528 Overall. Very middle-of-the-road. I have a lot of issues with ranked Game Jams... but still had fun making the game. Check it out here: axolstudio.itch.io/the-colisino #gamejam #gamedev #indiedev

Unsurprisingly, I am stuggling SO HARD to do the UI for my @juniperdev.bsky.social Game Jam game ... I always think that the more I do UI stuff the better I'll get at it - and while that has been true for lots of other things, I only feel like I'm getting worse with UI... it's killing the momentum

RIP Bobby Prince. His music legacy will live on, making inspired music for Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, countless others. A true legend. And such a nice man, great musician, wonderful, fun-loving man, nothing but happy memories of him. A loss to the world.

Thanks for indulging me on this spam down memory lane! I'll try to post progress of our @juniperdev.bsky.social Game Jam game over the next week! Check out all of our big releases on our website! axolstudio.com

Dinosaur Ghost Rampage maybe my 3rd game using @haxeflixel.bsky.social It was for the "1-Game-a-Month" thing back in 2014. The windows version works pretty good! I want to make a full game/sequel sometime. Oh and it has some of the best music by @fatbard.com ! seifertim.itch.io/dinosaur-gho...
