Just a few days ago I was looking at ssx and thinking "wow this looks kinda jank than what I remember" and then I see this and I'm like THIS this is the rose tinted memories I remember. This is awesome!

Announcing my new futuristic arcade snowboarding game that takes place in space! - inspired by SSX, with tricks, combos & boost - gravity bending tracks with lots of shortcuts - equippable gadgets like grappling hooks It's called CarveOut 2160, and you can wishlist it on steam! #gaming #indiegames

Man, my mutuals are so cool. I don't interact with half of you half as much as I'd like but I can guarantee I'm keeping an eye on so many cool projects! Been a long while since I've had time to work on anything to show off myself but it's been gnawing at me. I wanna make thiiings

Solaire's steam page is finally live! This has been years in the making at this point and I could not be more proud of how far this game has come. I hope people are excited for what's in store! store.steampowered.com/app/4441110/...

If I get to 1000 followers I'll drop the steam page link for Solaire. I'll also do that if I don't get to 1000 followers but don't tell all the people who haven't followed me yet shhh (don't tell them i don't have the link yet either)

Interesting behavior I'm seeing by recruiters recently, copying the entire job posting except the bullet points where AI use is required.

Can I request people to tag me in any interesting posts so I can skip browsing the feeds and just be force fed the good stuff™

Hey #gamedev, any tips on how to get people to stop playing the worst game I've released? It has consistently been the reason people find my itch profile and it is easily the least polished thing I've made on my own. It has zero good reviews from people who have played it. But people keep playing.

This is hands down one of my favorite games to play. It scratches a problem solving itch I've got, and it's very at your own speed, which allows you to really ensure that your networks are perfect, or at least as perfect as they can be.

If you ever wanted to build a space trade empire inside an hour, Slipways is still great, and it's 60% off while the Steam Summer Sale lasts. store.steampowered.com/app/1264280/ Released it just before turning 35. About to turn 40 in three days and the game is still going strong! 🚀

Ooo ooo ooo fresh hot tips for optimization stuff. Never really knew how batch drawing stuff worked under the hood, just that it does things. Preddy interesting!

Okay, I am stuck on a train for a bit, here are some quick tips on making your game assets faster. First up, lets talk DRAW CALLS and STATE CHANGES in simplest terms: When your 3D card is told to draw something... it loads the model, and the material tells it what shaders and textures to load...

Highjacking this because people are starting to come around to "code is art" so here's some very generalized tips about code. Don't be afraid to be messy. Getting an idea of what you need to happen is the first step. You can clean it up later if necessary. You don't need to make it perfect.

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)

Okay so like everyone is making their own engine or what? This sounds... Fun.

EXTRA EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! Although its still a ways out, an official Lunchroom Lies demo WILL be coming your way in the future! store.steampowered.com/app/4705640/... #indiedev #indiegame #puzzlegame #detective #handdrawn #mystery

I love reading people's code and discussing it with them, I think a few folks here already know that. PR reviewing had always been one of my favorite part working in tech, because it was a chance to learn more from people much more skilled than me. This is also why I no longer work in tech.

Something I don't think I've shown before; some enemies will try to dodge out of the way as you aim at them. There are some enemies that do this to a more extreme degree buuuuut you gotta wait a bit longer for them. Sorry! (Also updated battle background!) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Stomach bug has been slowly affecting the whole house and I am the latest victim if you don't see me again it's cause my insides are now outsides

This manifesto really does align with things I agree with but wasn't following. I was thinking about Godscrown in terms of marketability and that kind of killed my motivation on it. Looking at it through this lens really makes me think I ought to dust it off and go at it again.

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

Hi, looking for my next role 🙂 I have 10 years of experience coding at startups and smaller companies. I can do front end, back end, full stack, and game dev. Resume: jeremytjackson.com/resume/ Games: jeremyjackson89.itch.io Remote preferred, I'd rather not move and be in the situation again 😅

With the right shader settings the trails on objects look exactly how I wanted them to look! The lighting looks a lot smoother too! Pretty neat effect! Also happy pride! #PONGDFECT

Adrian Rainey 🧡@thecommander.bsky.social · 2mo ago

You should use shaderglass (mausimus.itch.io/shaderglass) with #pico8 games. This is just two things: - A PICO-8 window that is at native resolution (128x128 pixels) - An NTSC Composite Video + CRT Shader It's like magic. :3 #gaming #retrogaming #shaders

Had this bouncing around my head. Little whack a mole zombie style game with a fun perspective. Moon would move to show the time remaining in the level, zombies getting close would deal damage to you. Maybe I'll do this for a halloween jam or something #pixelart #pico-8

Alright I've been stunlocked by this for a day because I know it's a meme but it got me thinking about the games I play that don't have roguelike elements and why I play them and like, am I the roguelike element that's ensuring each playthrough is different from the last?

I released my little pico-8 sprite packing tool that I created for this #PKMNDFECT! It's pretty handy and I imagine I'll be using it for all sorts of stuff. Includes code to display specific layers as well!
