Please let me upload the video today, bluesky. Had to write my own, shitty particle emitter, because Löve's default one doesn't really support running in reverse. Thinking of replacing the blood splatter effect with this one too... Have a rainbow on this dready sunday evening :) #indiedev #gamedev

Can we please make this go viral? I want that feature in all games now, it's beautiful ;-;

If you're not drinking water like this, you're not drinking enough water. 💦🫗🐧 #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Honestly, you should keep the fast walk around for comedic effect, it's great^^ Just sparks joy on a friday afternoon :)

got my animatrions backwards sharing this for your enjoyment #gamedev #godot

My feed is full of cool shit today, just what I needed for my soul when there's still half the workweek ahead of me^^

#screenshotsunday Planet bloom effect in #picotron remake of Space Garden. #indiedev #gamedev

Note to self: the spritesheet does not go into the particle system. (Still need to figure out how that happened, but unfortunately other things are on my mind right now) #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

My take on the Big Walk AI drama is I don't mind people shaming companies who use AI, but I wish they would put one tenth of that energy into championing game devs who explicitly don't use AI. Speaking of, here are starter packs of that: go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

Hell yeah! Make a looping version, so I can watch it for an hour ;D

Been working on rendering planets for this unannounced game I work on in 5 minute intervals at a time

This morning's on-the-train coding session had me hastily implement charged attacks for humans (been wanting that for a while now) I think I need some kinda "collecting-energy" type of particle effect for those, but I've got the functionality done already :) #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

Awesome starter pack time continues today with this important starter pack by a very inspiring dev. Also don't just look at the pack, check his game out while you're at it👀 #gamedev #indiedev

I flew back to New York last night, so I have not been very productive. So you know what that means? That's right, time to share the three starter packs I made of game devs who don't use Gen AI. I got the time today. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

That's a hella nice font! :D

Daniel / Caaz@caaz.me · 2w ago

Despite having a full time job my income accounts for all bills but not at all for food, so consider buying my font Decree! Also in 16x form! #pixelart #font #indiedev

Look, this kind of awesome shit is what got me into gamedev in the first place, I'm so fucking here for this. Just signal boosting this, because it's fucking awesome! :D In general, all software should be like this and invite curiosity^^

Do you not like the music in my game? It literally just plays whatever is in the folders. Art? Replace the files/json Don't like how the cards work? Change the json in notepad Don't like the script or words? Just change it. All you need is a filesystem and notepad to make my game into anything.

I'm using the pomodoro technique: - 20 minutes of gamedev - 8 hours of work - 20 minutes of gamedev Worked on the stamina mechanic this morning, now on to make a living in between^^ #indiedev #gamedev

C'moooon another 11 is doable :D

Why does it show like there's a comment on it, but I can't read it??? Did I block the person? I can't see it when logged out either? Bluesky, what's this aboutttt

Hard to believe, but the AI is working as intended (as in they're enacting a combo, only the combo is just spamming the dodge button) Now to add a idle action so I can give the player a little breathing room. #indiedev #gamedev

This is great! Need to keep the tab open until I know I can afford an artist for the in-game portraits :) (or well, until I'm confident I can push my game over the finish line) #art #humanmade #noai

Aimee Cozza Illustration@aimeecozza.com · 2w ago

7 New artists just added to HireHumanArtists.com! 🌟 We're excited to work our way through the remaining backlog and get even MORE artists added! #HHA

Always worth re-sharing because this might be my favourite community online^^

If you're a lovely person solo deving a game and refuse to use genAI pls tell me about it and I'll add you to my starter pack that I wanted to make months ago😁 #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev go.bsky.app/Kmiwwf5

I just lost a thread I spent like 20 minutes writing so @bsky.app can you please just add this thing so that accidentally navigating away doesn't throw everything away with no chance of recovery?

Holy crap this looks nice :D

History has proven that Windows will never get better. Once you accept that, the practical and ethical need for alternatives becomes crystal clear. It is not an easy ask, but a just future cannot involve Windows. aftermath.site/we-must-kill-w...

New wallpaper material^^ Couscous, you're a wonderful cat ♥️

Fixed a memory leak in a function inside my main draw code, being called every frame. A shader I recreated each frame to draw a fading line. Garbage collector couldn't keep up. Wasn't even visible unless you're holding a ranged weapon. Now I'm back to (mostly) stable 500Mb :) #indiedev #gamedev

Some more inventory work - maybe there'll be stats in the empty spaces, but I've yet to see. Slow progress, but I'm content. #indiedev #gamedev

Bananicorn@bananicorn.com · 4w ago

Inventory and trade screen now share their rendering code - I've got a different thing for it in mind, but I don't know if I can pull it off in terms of readability #indiedev #gamedev #vagueposting #cursed_existence

It's weird having a Laptop with a CD-Drive nowadays, because sometimes you accidentally make it pop open when moving and ask yourself when you last had to use it... Has it been 10 years yet?

My brain's not doing code for SHIT today, playing some of the Gothic remake instead. Sometimes it's time to cool it for a bit. #indiedev #gamedev

Feel you there... Then again, us indies need to do what we can to help each other out :) Well our audience here is mostly other indies, but still a share can't hurt^^ Nice sploooosh!

Poison explosion animation! I enjoy drawing, music, and coding, so I’m always going to just avoid ai because I don’t understand offloading the fun… But it is disheartening trying to gain visibility in the sea of slop. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

RT to lend my voice, because... OVER MY DEAD BODY DOES EVEN JUST A SINGLE LINE OF AI CODE END UP IN MY GAME. shouting over.

Mega Knockdown@megaknockdown.com · 3w ago

RT if you don't use AI for coding

Laptop crapped out on me during gamedev time on the train :( Blender on battery power was too much for its poor little heart... (I have another laptop, but this one is dear to me, even if it's weaker) I really hope it's ACTUALLY off and doesn't fry itself in my bag .-. #indiedev #gamedev
