I have made so little progress on the game's music the last few days. Trying to make something simple but catchy has been difficult. Any tips for a solo dev trying to make some basic chiptune? #gamedev #gamemusic #chiptune

Happy monday! Any games launching this week? #gamedev #newrelease

I find that the music is the most consuming part of game dev for me. Maybe its just cause I am not that familiar, but I find myself spending a ton of time finding sounds or playing around with chords / patterns than I realize. #gamedev #indiedev #videogamemusic #chiptune

Here's what we got done today. Naturally, I am finding some more issues right before I want to publish but we are pretty close right now. I think the movement could feel a bit better but feedback will help with that. Biggest thing is I need to add updated music. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

There are two games in recent memory that I have really found super addicting in the past year or two. Megabonk and Guildrun. Both scratch that same itch. #videogames

Happy Friday! What is everyone working on this weekend. #gamedev #indiedev

Wasn't able to make any progress today. Worked later than expected. I think thats unavoidable some days when game dev is a side project. #gamedev

I think stack the Deck can definitely be a steam release, the problem I keep running into right now is difficulty scaling and how to make it challenging enough. I have a few mechanics I can add, but would like to see how it works with the bare minimum. Hope this alpha test helps. #gamedev #indiedev

I spent more time this weekend just playing my game since it had been a while. Gave me a chance to remember what the game is missing before demo release. I realized doing this that feedback would help alot so Im hoping to get an alpha on itch by friday. Fingers crossed. #gamedev #indiegame

Okay we are back. Going to comb through the bugs list today and revisit what is needed to finalize an alpha build. Let's get to work. #gamedev #sologamedev

Going on vacation for a week. When I return, will be fully focused on getting out an alpha build of Stack the deck. Can't wait.

Devlog about Spin to the void is up! Talk about how it went, and what I am working on next! Check it out! #gamdev #sologamedev #devlog drivengames.itch.io/spin-to-the-...

Finished my first Game Jam!.... Sort of....

So this week I finally published Spin to the Void after starting more than a month ago. This was originally an idea for the Juniper Dev Super Serious Game Jam and (pretty obviously) this game was way....

Have my devlog ready for itch but the site is down it seems. Should have it posted tomorrow. I have been debating starting up a youtube and this is probably another reason to do that. Anyway, devlog will be up tomorrow probably! #gamedev #itch #solodevlog

Do any game devs publish short stories related to their story games when they write the games narrative. If so where do they publish. Im curious #gamedev #gamewriting

Decided to put The track i made for Spin to the Void on soundcloud. Debating on distributing to spotify. Anyway, Check it out: on.soundcloud.com/PNlyEcI5S08Q... #VGM #GameSoundtrack #NowPlaying

Update - fixed issue with the Zip folder. My bad😅

Well here it is, first published demo on itch.io! You can play Spin to the void now on itch. A month past the submission date but glad I finished it. Was a nice break from my main project and gave me experience of actually publishing to a platform. #gamedev drivengames.itch.io/spin-to-the-...

Spin to the Void by Driven Games

Floating aimlessly in space, destroy enemies to survive.

Ok so I think I am done with Spin to the Void for what I plan to put on itch. Here is a preview of the title screen. I'll export and publish tomorrow along with a devlog. Its just a demo project and obv would need more work to be a real game but more on that in the devlog. #gamedev #solodev #itch

Decided to see what I could make as far as theme music goes for Spin to the Void. Let me know what you think. Kept it pretty simple. With this done I think I can publish to itch in a day or 2. #gamedev #music #Chiptune

Just fixed a bug with one of the menus loading the proper data. As far as what I want to get done for a prototype build, its mostly just menu / ui polish left. I'm wondering now, is it worth trying to add theme music to this or are sound effects enough? #gamedev

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Did a chunk of visual polish yesterday. Mostly related to shaders and transitions. ✅CRT Shader ✅ Added a few scene transitions ✅ Updated the Enemy Slow effect ✅ Minor tweaks to card animations. ✅ Added an enemy destroy animation Im just about ready to call it done (enough for itch) #gamedev

I would love to spend a week working on nothing but shaders.

I'm debating if I want to add some UI polish/effects to my small game tonight. Menu formats, button/card effects, Scene transitions. Things like that. I think it might be worth it since they can be re used in the future pretty easily. #gamedev

Here's what the main menu looks like at the moment. Pretty basic.

Got Some more done tonight. Pretty much everything left now falls under these areas. - UI tweaks. - Maybe some animations - Music. Since this was originally intended as a small project for a game jam I think Scaling and some bugs are going to be in there. Fix them later. #gamedev #godot #solodev

I need to finish the small game I have been working on this weekend. It was originally supposed to be part of the Juniper Dev Game Jam and we are about 2 weeks past that.🙃 Didn't hit the submission but want to publish it anyway so I could finish something end to end. #gamejam #gamedev

Added a bit of UI effect to my small space shooter game. ✅ A little floating description box on hover. Should be useful down the line, so glad I added it. #gamedev #godot

What is everyone working on today?

Finished rebuilding the level up menu. Switched from a random power up selction each level to using scrap as currency. #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev
