Months of work, a lifetime of learning, but the Levelling The Playing Field 101 Courses program launches right now. Eight €40 courses launching 10 days apart, I aim to make the critical less-spoken parts of indie gamedev accessible away from expensive visa-locked hotel bars. courses.ramiismail.com
✨ Working on a new game. Not ready to share it just yet… So here’s Bit ESC, my last game #indiegame #gamedev
Also, my current game project: Vikings on Trampolines. Its a co-op/versus brawler where you're vikings, you fight on trampolines, and balloons are sentient and evil.
gdq just showed a video about everything going on in palestine (their charity for sgdq is doctors without borders), and spikevegeta, normally a silly goofy guy, is in tears up there talking about it. fuck man. go donate if you can. free palestine 🇵🇸❤️
Begging for reviews feels so pathetic, a shame it's one of the few good ways to grow 🫠 Review the games you play Please... Thank you it means a lot #IndieGameDev I #gamedev
As someone who is their own worst enemy a lot, a reminder: It's okay to scale back/simplify a project. Even temporarily! Exciting ideas like to run off and create big goals, and get complicated. Don't get overwhelmed and give up! It's okay to do just the basics, come back later for fancy stuff! 💜
🎬 I really really like the idea of multiple endings. Not just a different cutscene, I mean entirely different endgames / levels depending on your actions. It was a nightmare scope-wise though... 😖 #indiegame #gamedev
In Bit ESC, you’ll do kickflips, feed cats, fight ninjas, fish and transcend dimensions. Did I add a bit too much variety in the game? #indiegame #platformer
Posted on Substack about Bit ESC, how it started and it's themes if you'd like to check it out: essssam.substack.com/p/burnt-out-... #indiegame #gamedev
Experimented with #gamedev on and off for years before Bit ESC. Never could commit to anything. What really helped was building publicly and posting dev updates to Twitter… till I was too deep to not commit 😬
🏝️Castaway, only 2.39 USD on Steam because I love you all (link below)
😡🗯️ BREAK IT UP! I love adding these little "useless" interactions to my games. My favorite part of #gamedev by far #ScreenshotSaturday
💻 "App windows" in Bit ESC were A LOT of work to put in I usually thought I could "fake" it but more often than not I had to make an almost fully-functional thing for them to work right 😭 #gamedev #indiegame
☀️✨ It's summer sale season and Bit ESC is currently 40% off on both Steam and Xbox!! #indiegame #platformer

Bit ESC started off with a 640x360 base resolution. Halved that early on to make things easier to work with. It also made stuff a bit cuter I think, which is a huge plus (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) #gamedev #indiegame
Originally animated this intro for Bit ESC's trailer at a whopping 90p in aseprite and a little blender #indiegame #gamedev
