Why can absolute knobs feel no shame in saying the most hurtful, ignorant and cringy shit ever uttered and I feel profound guilt because I said "Good morning" to someone at 12:06pm one time? I need all the phycologists to have some sort of conference about this. Keep me in the loop.

Working on some new music for my game. This song is called Breaking Out Space. Next step is to update the Steam page with better gifs and a nicer trailer. I hope you like it because I probably wont be shutting up about it for a while 😅 #gamedev

Dev Story 😁 Run Game 🤖 Error 😐 But I remade all those broken assets. Run Again. 🤖 Error 😡 BUT. I. REMADE. THOSE. BROKEN. ASSETS! RUN. AGAIN! 🤖 Error 😒 You stupid, useless game engine...Wait, I forgot to remove the broken assets from the scene. 🤖 Fucking hell. #gamedev

Demo is in sight. My current to-do list is scarily small: - Level Select Screen - Some Polish - A Few Pesky Bug Fixes No doubt some unforeseen annoyances will happen, but I remain hopeful this will see the light of day (whatever that is) soon. 😁 #solodev

So instead of working on the actual UI, I got an idea to make Ve wave to the player before you can move on. Is this a good idea? Probably not. But is this a good idea? I think so. The joy of solo dev games is no one is around to make sensible decisions. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

As someone who very much doesn't like UI code, I'm absolutely certain this is 100% complete. There is no more needed to be added. Press A to restart, Press A to continue, Press V to make Time happen. No camera rendering because cameras aren't needed for anything. Job done. #gamedev

Surely saying "Make your own X with AI" is an oxymoron.

I felt the shooting in my game was a little too aggressive sounding so I've made everything more musical and full of whimsy (I think that's a word) 😁 Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been absolutely obsessed with writing music and making sfx. Major updates on the way 😀 #gamedev #solodev

Ever wonder how much practice cooperation mouths must go through to answer questions by not answering them, committing to nothing at all while trying to sound like the heros? "Will you have discs?" "Well, we want to ensure that there are options" "Like discs?" "You're asking the right questions"

I felt my Battle Scenes needed some flair so I did this. The guitar is absolutely overkill, out of place, and completely awesome so I'm very confused. Still needs some work but we're getting closer. #gamedev #solodev

Anyone wants higher resolution spacecraft? 👀 #gamedev #pixelart

Enough of this self conscious nonsense! Here's a walkthrough of the tutorial level with narration by me. If you pretend to be a handsome and confident developer then that is what you become! I read that in a notepad txt file that I wrote so it must be true. #gamedev #solodev

Here hang on, my latest video was liked by an AI guy who states "Currently curating ideas from watching awesome bsky folks" Curate my middle finger 🖕

I discovered in my journeys that no game has ever dared to be set in the deep void of Space! I will change that! Five Arcade: The only game made entirely from denial. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

It's funny how things go very wrong in groups. I found 3 fundamental, game breaking bugs at once. It seems lately everything I do makes things worse. Just one of those moments. As despondent as I am right now, I will keep at it. Hopefully it will be worth it. Love from a sad Irish Dev 🌹

If you are new to gamedev and see some really cool stuff online and think only you make stupid mistakes, just know I've been doing this a long time and I deleted the physics shapes of all my tiles, so I spent the past few hours drawing primitives over 128 different 16x16 pixel tiles. Aint just you

always a pleasure when Unity crashes, then the Unity bug reporter auto loads...then crashes.

I just learned Run To You by Brian Adams, and Walk by Foo Fighters on the guitar...unfortunately I'm still on the wheelchair. The search continues. I should probably give up and just learn Rollin' by Limp Bizkit.

I just fixed a UI bug that's been bothering me a while. Now, this was absolutely the fault of me, failing to notice the UI elements pivot point was set incorrectly. However, I will blame the game engine and UI in general for this fiasco, because when you think about it, it was not my fault #gamedev

When you accidentally hit a weird combination of keys on the keyboard and a strange symbol appears, text gets highlighted, pop ups happen, the computer sings to you but in an aggressive tone, a cup falls off the table, lightning strikes...

Big takeaway from interviews so far is that the next gameplay video needs to show off combat… need to communicate dodge/parry and the interesting combat behaviours of enemies in a large scale combat situation… on the list. In the meantime, keep wishlisting ;) store.steampowered.com/app/4035190/...

How can a single UI element cause this much pain and despair?! Just go to the Lower Right of the screen! That's all I asked, why are you chilling off center you stupid image of a gas cannister?! I created you! I can destroy you!

The real reason we don't go to space is because of rouge bats in bat spaceships. #gamedev #solodev

Just finalized the music for my upcoming demo 😁 I can't wait for you to hear it.

Do you ever pretend to give interviews about how your game was successful? Like the interviewer is asking you things like: What advice would you give aspiring developers? You are very handsome and cool, how? You need to get out more, ya know? If so, you're not alone. If not, me either. #solodev

I am getting far too excited about this game. I should probably wait to show these when there's more polish but I have a more professional account for that, and I'm too excitable 😂 (There's also a new song) 😁 So here is a bat in a spaceship chasing Ve in his spaceship #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Why should you play Five Arcade? Because there are bats in spaceships 😁 They are quite aggressive, prepare yerself. #solodev #indiedev #pixelart

Aww no, I used this book in Uni to help write some awesome enemy behavior. I needed to look up something today to help with some enemy chase math. Remember when these two words used to be rather awesome?! Can techwanks stop ruining once cool stuff please and thank you. #gamedev
