What makes Tome a different #gamedev experience for #indiedev and #solodev people? Instead of trying to serve everyone, Tome RGE knows exactly who it's for and what it's built to do: bridge the gap between pencil-and-paper #TTRPG and computer games. Also, you buy it, it's yours. Forever.

Guys if you're in #gamedev or #indiedev you really need to see this, I absolutely LOVE this kind of ideas and also Lua is my favorite language 😍

With a #TTRPG game manual, you're getting a theme and a ruleset, both to expand and modify to your liking. The resulting experience will look like this: Create content → Story develops unexpectedly → Play as long as it's funny/you die. That's exactly how Tome #gameengine works. #indiedev #gamedev

Tome is the specialized 2D Roguelike Game Engine built for creating complex, emergent, TTRPG-style roguelike experiences without writing a single line of code. Its tools are intuitive, powerful, and purpose-built. Launch the engine and start creating within MINUTES. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I'm officially on #fiverr! If any #indiedev needs help with #gamedev, #gamedevtools, or even a #gameengine, I'm available! I'm proficient in Lua, Love2D, Defold, LOVR, Godot and GDScript. I have experience designing and developing both games and game engines. If in doubt, contact me!

Check this out! 🎉 I generally prefer working with a #game #framework, but if I have to use a #gameengine, Defold is my number one choice 😍❤️ Not just because of the language (huge fan of #Lua for #gamedev), but also because #Defold is amazingly code-centric and is well designed.
Defold Engine@defold.com · 4w agoSave the dates! 🗓️ Defold Game Jam 2026 is open for registration! 🎮 Make a game with #Defold in 2 weeks, share it and compete for rewards! 🎁 The jam starts on September 20. 🍂 Preceded by a 2-day online Defold Conference! Register on itch: itch.io/jam/defold-g...
If anyone of you #indiedev people need help with #gamedev, #gamedevtools, or even to build a #gameengine, just know that I'm available. I'm proficient in Lua, Love2D, I know Godot and GDScript, and I have experience designing and developing both games and game engines. If in doubt, contact me!
As promised, I have big news regarding AME Engine. 👇 You can read all in detail in the linked #devlog, but the essence is this: we finally have a clear vision, target and goal that will actually satisfy the #indiedev people I've been making this #gameengine for. Stay tuned for the next updates!
AME evolves into Tome: the specialized Roguelike Game Engine
I know there is always a lot of apprehension when it comes to trusting indie projects - because it is such a democratized space, you really do find everything, from gems to scams. I hope to be able to...

Hey guys! Found some arrangement to pay my bills, I'm starting to #devlog again. 👨💻 I've been working on AME for a couple of weeks now and I've implemented a big overhaul that will make the #gameengine direction and goals better and clearer. More on this soon, stay tuned! 💪 #gamedev #indiedev
Hey guys! I'm not gone or dead. I'm just looking for a new full-time job and I'm struggling a bit. If you're interested in AME, please DO NOT unsubscribe: the engine will be developed NO MATTER WHAT, and updates will be posted here on this page and on Itch! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog
Hey guys! Out of nowhere, I was wondering: has any of you ever developed games with a Framework (ie Love2D) or you always use engine such as Unity and UE4? #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameengine
Building in AME Engine feels like using custom LEGO blocks 👇 You: - Pick components - Assemble them into entities - Tweak behavior through tools - Test instantly Less coding barriers, more iteration - and fun! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
Small dev insight: A lot of AME Engine level-building power comes from a system I designed years ago, called PBMS (Pivot Based Modular System). It handles modular assembly in both 2D and 3D, and it’s fast and reliable, and quietly does a lot of heavy lifting! #indiedev #gamedev #gameengine
One of the main AME Engine goals is to make it super easy to create game entities. You can mix and match custom modules to build robust behaviors, no programming required: high customization, clean structure, and systems that just work together! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
What's you idea of a good GUI editor? 🤔 I think it should be 100% intuitive, light, fast, have basic functionalities like anchors and generally stay out of your way. Oh, and binding should be overly simple. If you agree with me, you'll like AME. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
It's #gamedev resource sharing time again! 😄 Did you know that universities like MIT allow you to follow top-notch courses at exactly 0$? Most of these have lessons assignments, labs and other material included (also gratis, dear #indiedev), so that you can follow them as if you attended MIT!

Check this project out! 👇 Making things like your own engine or renderer is super fun and educational, I'd recommend it even to people more interested in gameplay programming and design! #indiedev #gamedev #3d #renderer
Cristina Ramos@saffroncr.bsky.social · 3mo agoHere's my new Playdate prototype's devlog post, this time focused on the trials and tribulations of creating my own 3D software renderer... because why not? saffroncr.itch.io/katavatis/de...
For clarity: I don't want to encourage any flame war or anything. Honest mistakes happen. But this is a mistake. Please use nodes as much as possible in Godot, that's how the software was designed. It is not random and has to do with ECS, the same paradigm used in AME. #gamedev #indiedev #godot
Albasoup@albasoup.itch.io · 3mo agoNo!!!
👇 AME's GUI editor: Intuitive. Lightning fast. Very powerful. You can do anything you want, working in a completely modular environment with easy input-output event linking. Best practices and typical solutions are suggested and guided! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
What makes AME's GUI editor different? 🤔 I could say simplicity. But the real point is that the entirety of AME is built to guide the user through essential game dev skills, transferable to any tool - that's more than just simplicity. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
This is a useful resource for a lot of you guys - especially since I expect most of my followers are in TTRPG. Enjoy! 😄

I recommend VEXED for all game devs, especially tiny teams and solo devs who aren't able to make their own assets. I've known and liked VEXED's artworks for a very long time :)
VEXED (commissions OPEN)@v3x3d.bsky.social · 3mo agoStill on the edge of Eclectic Collection's sales goal! 😲 itch.io/s/119330/ecl... These goals help me pixel full time. Your support means the world to me! 🌎❤️ All this and much more in the bundle!👇 #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev #indiedev
It's still surprising, to me, how much math can help you develop a good, funny game. It's not just about the power it gives you for complex rendering/game engine software, it makes so much difference even for the simplest game concept 🤔 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev
👇 Daily update: - Fixed GUI architecture 📑 Next: - Improve customization with all-visual approach #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #devlog
As someone deeply involved in engine dev, I always try to stay updated on all projects out there. I already knew Flax, but never tried it. Have you? 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines #gamedevtools
Simeon@pixelforgedev.bsky.social · 3mo agoFlax added jiggle physics and web support. Guess Godot isn't the only one with options.
AME Engine GUI's in the works! 💪 I think I've nailed the right design for this. Can't wait to share it with you guys! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools
What a cool project, check this out!!! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev
Cristina Ramos@saffroncr.bsky.social · 4mo agoWelcome to 4D Labs. In this room you can observe a rotating 3D room through 4D space, causing it to flip. All warping must occur while standing on a warp pad. Otherwise you may rotate into a mirror body. Earth life is strongly chiral, so you'll be no longer able to eat. Best not to think about it!
Serious question: Should game devs use an existing engine (AME, Godot, Unity...) or make their own? I think both are valid. Making your own engine is insanely educational and fun, but also extremely challenging and not for all creators. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengines
Still working hard on AME's GUI!😻 It won't be just how the engine ui looks, it will also be the system users use to create their own custom GUIs for their games: Player HUD, game menu, gameover screen... - that's why it's so important! #gamedev #indiedev #DevTools #gamedevtools
