Yesterday I put together a reel showcasing the work I have done over the past year on FireFly. I quite like how it ended up so I figured I would share :) #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Yesterday was an experiment day to see if I could get FireFly to both run well and play well on my phone, and I think I came up with a control system that really works with the game’s movement!! And, it’s just sooo cool being able to run this on my phone. #indiegames #gamedev #godot
While idk if I’d call BOTW perfect,,, this video is still a pretty great breakdown of its visuals and what makes them work so well! Check it out!!!
Made my first YouTube video! It’s a deep dive on the art of Breath of the Wild. Please watch! youtu.be/zUV-60MCHDk?...
Tonight, I’m hosting and running production for a Smash Bros. Invitational featuring some of Tennessee’s best players! I designed today’s stream with a full Halloween theme because I really like the holiday! www.twitch.tv/tennessee_go...

The Grotto Gaps are finally starting to look how I envisioned them 😊 #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #IndieGameDev
Finally finished re-decorating The Slime Zone Does it look pretty? Or is it too distracting? #gamedev #indiegame #speedrunning #pixelart
After playing Silksong, I was awe-struck by the use of parallax to create depth and environments that felt alive. It inspired me to apply it to Firefly. What do we think? Cool enough to polish all the old levels like this, or should we focus on building new ones? #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart
In FireFly, your Glow isn't just visual, it's your power! The faster you move, the brighter you shine. The brighter you shine, the bigger your boosts! #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #CozyVibes
This project looks so sick! And she did it all with C and SDL! I wish I was this cool 😵💫
Released a short promoting FIREFLY this afternoon! Wanted to focus on showcasing the games mechanics, what do we think? #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev #platformer
FIREFLY IS NOW ON STEAM 🤯😳 After a light fundraising push, FireFly has a public Steam page! Which just feels wild! Wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4002900/... Wishlisting helps FireFly get discovered + gets you first in line when playtests open. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame
Any time I’m bullshitting music for firefly, there’s a part of me that’s terrified I’m just accidentally recreating a Zelda song ive absorbed into my subconscious brain.
Was polishing up some new content updates, and my ADHD-ass impulsively pivoted to redesigning checkpoint visuals. Was the distraction worth it? #GameDev #PixelArt #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #gaming

Made a thing for my local Smash scene! This fall’s invitational uses Twitch points for vote-ins. I made a Python → Google Sheets → JSON pipeline so stream widgets & sites show live results. Open source for democracy & for all who want! bbussell.com/GLRA-Democracy/ #SmashBros
When I first experimented with moving platforms, my initial attempt at allowing the player to conserve their velocity functioned by adding the platform's velocity to the player's velocity whenever they jumped... They uh, don't work like this anymore. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
FireFly got a major update over the weekend! The ✨WildWoodlands🌿 are denser, livelier, and a little more mischievous… Full details here: bbussell.itch.io/firefly/devl... #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

Dev Log?
Devlog? Hi! I have been developing this game for the past year and a half or so, and I have decided I should start writing a dev log here! Maybe it’s weirdly late considering where I am in developme.....

Bf treated me and Loveland (frog child) to a light show in Gatlinburg last night, and of course, Loveland asked me to take his picture! 💚 #loveland💚
Saying that elden ring should have an easy mode in a room full of men just to feel something
Season 2 finale of rings of power has a character looking at the camera and saying “You’re just a Lord of the Rings” But it’s actually awesome.
