So, the ability to kick arrows back towards the archers that just fired them sort of emerged naturally because the arrow object has the same collision/kickback/movement components as the other interactable objects I'm keeping it #screenshotsatuday #godot #indiedev #gamedev

31st game of 2026, Big Walk Playing this with a group of friends, all well into their adult years, all shouting "Big Walk!" every time we have to go somewhere, getting very excited about finding and holding gourds over our heads... It is a very special game, highly recommended

30th game, Many Nights a Whisper Please play this game. One aspect of the narrative centers around "If you could grant any wish, which wishes would you grant?" and it has been a while since I had to put a game down and really contemplate the choices I was asked to make It is short and very sweet

Thought it would be good to give the player an option to get even with the archers before going on I do like the current level of oomph when enemies go splat #godot #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

This is my 1st game where I handcraft each lvl instead of procgen Just spend 2h making a lvl that I can play through in about 3 min Assuming players take 2x as long and a 4h playthrough, that's 80 hours of #gamedev on base lvl design One step at a time 💪 #godot #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

The environment of my game is a lot of black and white, so I figured that adding a chromatic aberration to accentuate impact would be noticeable and create some more oomph I do think I'll keep it #gamedev #indiedev #godot #indiegame

Sometimes I just get excited about a certain brush and want to do something with it. Doesn't always turn out the way I expect, but good practice regardless And DTIYS is always fun Thank you for setting up @eggroyale.bsky.social ! #RoyaleBDay2026 #DTIYS #art #digitalart

29th game of 2026, Drop Duchy This is a deck builder where the cards are tetromino shapes that you have to play tetris with, giving bonusses and effects based on their surroundings I think that is a very fun idea for a game and I was exited to play But I can't get past the roguelite elements

Working on swarm pathfinding, to minimize them getting in eachothers way Some tweaks to be done, and I need a better idea for what happens when you kick a group instead of "they all get dazed", but I'm pretty happy with it #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #godot

Another #DTIYS, tried to create some depth with three tiers of thorny branches, I'm pretty happy with it (and my art progress in general) Thank you for setting up @lichjuliorra.bsky.social, your art is very evocative and pretty #LichJuliorraDTIYS #art #digitalart

Lich Juliorra@lichjuliorra.bsky.social · 3w ago

✨Finally, a #DTIYS with Snowflake✨ I made it suitable for all fall occasions, so I hope you like it and that I'll see many interesting interpretations💫 Please check the comments for more information :3 #украрт #drawing #illustration

Another #DTIYS I've been seeing a lot of minimalist, flat color fanart, so I figured that would be fun to try Also, I'm a sucker for incorporating text into the drawing Thanks for sharing @michellehemora.bsky.social and happy birthday in advance! #art #digitalart #notmyoc #oc

Hey can I try this? My Birthday is on the 29th of this month and it’d be cool as hell to see my creatura in other people’s styles (This is not a deadline by any means) #DTIYS #oc #ocsky

For all assets I make myself, I'm in a cycle where I keep replacing placeholders with other placeholders that are slightly more representative So now dialogue boxes are just a picture of me talking to a picture I drew of the main character #godot #gamedev #indiedev

28th game, Neon white This game has made me more interested in speedrunning as a concept. It is just really good at getting you into that flowstate. Also, really like the stylishness of it. Highly recommended!

Recently played Neon White, still thinking about it several weeks later. The speedrunning in it is just designed very well The art style is also pretty evocative, I just enjoyed looking at the game itself and was inspired to make some fanart #neonwhite #art #digitalart #fanart

I'm getting too bogged down in minutiae, so instead I'm just going wild with placeholders, populating all planned levels with nonsense geometry, so that a full playthrough is technically possible This includes placeholder dialogue between player and friendly NPC #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Arrows, like other movable objects, check if they are still over floor pieces every frame. If not, they fall Strictly speaking, because of how inheritance works, this is expected behaviour But the archers don't really inspire fear like this, with their weak arrow game #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Made a new exploding enemy type that you can kick into other enemies and walls, seems to be working Running into the problem that currently, distinguishing between different types of enemies at a moments notice is hard. Gonna have to work on silhouettes #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Another #DTIYS I try to find challenges that include something that I've never drawn before (in this case, bloodstains and light gore), really helps with the motivation to keep practicing I'm slowly making my way through all the brushes in krita #DTIYSCASCADEHILLS #art #digitalart

Uylisis@uylisis.bsky.social · 4w ago

So I wanted to celebrate Cascade Hills Vol 1 being finished on Royal Road, so I decided to do a Draw this in your style! Use #DTIYSCASCADEHILLS to enter! Open until September 24. The winner gets a half-body drawing with bg! The winner is chosen at random! Good luck! #DTIYS #Uylisisart

Making an bow and arrow enemy, forgot to link arrow scale to enemy scale I love #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #godot

I want to thank everyone who participated~! 💙 It was a busy month, but I'm glad you all had fun and I loved to see your drawings of Nazar! Thank you all for participating!!!!! 🥰✨ 💙 Entries: @martijnfolmer.bsky.social @yuzubyte.bsky.social @shyorchidghost.bsky.social @froglucose.bsky.social

I need to make safe areas that enemies can't go So I made a type of tile that are explosive only to enemies #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Congrats to @martijnfolmer.bsky.social for winning the giveaway! :D Check out their awesome artwork: bsky.app/profile/mart... Of course, these references can be used at any time, not just for this little challenge. Thanks as always for the support! Happy arting ^^

27th game, BE-A walker If your fantasy is playing a AT-ST crushing Ewoks and imperials, this will fulfill that just fine, clunky controls and all The story isn't very good, gameplay a bit repetitive, but it is -90% (€0.81) the next couple days, the novelty of it is definitely worth more than that

Another #DTIYS, based on the post by @nyanorsmth.myatproto.social The more art I see on bluesky, the longer the list of stuff I want to try and draw. I appreciate everyone who shares their creative stuff

Mira (everyone kisser)@nyanorsmth.myatproto.social · last mo.

mm i guess i should do this meow #art #dtiys

This was a particularly interesting #DTIYS, a wheelchair is lots of interconnected beams and what is in front and what is in the back is kind of difficult. So good practice for simulating depth Thank you for @sambestock.bsky.social for setting it up!

A little #gamedev tip : in a topdown game, rectangular collision boxes can mean the player gets stuck on edges a lot Make the movement feels smoother by pushing the player towards the nearest corner of the collision box whenever they walk into it, so they'll slip around #godot #indiedev

Favorite bug of the week, there is a button prompt for talking to the friendly NPC, which is supposed to flash above their head But because I rotated the whole character and not only the sprite, the prompt rotated with it I love #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I've been using #DTIYS challenges to draw with brushes and in styles that I've not done before/wish to practice with, and that has been good fun, lots of stuff to explore This one is of an OC by @ipsalo.bsky.social, thank you for sharing! #art

To celebrate reaching 400 followers I will be hosting a #dtiys!! Asteria is one of my most popular ocs, and since it's a shapeshifter, both humanoid and feral artists will be able to join in on the fun 🥰 Deadline will be August 29~ More details and refs below ⬇️

Another #DTIYS I really like how the originals clothing folds, shading and highlights are done, I want to do more things like that Also learned that I got to practice nails (along with hands, drawing straight lines, accurate faces, etc.) Plenty to learn, but happy with progress #art

amildbreeze | comms closed@amildbreeze.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I've never done one of these, but maybe? My #OC Khaelira (Izri's and Ember's mom)

Been working on custom Lvl editor, so I just have to place rectangular areas in the editor and it will populate and surround the areas with floors and walls Now for the easy part, coming up with engaging levels that players enjoy #godot #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Been working on a custom Lvl transition. The main visual theme for my game may turn out to be 'floating shards', so this felt appropriate #gamedev #indiedev #godot
