You can get my bundle of +20 handmade #Godot cheatsheets for 8$ during the itch summer sale!! itch.io/s/188351/sum... ☀️ Have a nice summer!! #GameDev #GodotEngine
Godot: - is free & yours to modify - isn’t run by shareholders with a different agenda - doesn’t support genAI - is easy to transition to - is very capable - has its own quirks - exports to desktop & mobile, and to console through 3rd party services (for now) lmk if you need help transition to it
Parallax layers are almost done. Meanwhile, my partner added building traps mechanic in the forest, cause you never know what creatures will come at night from the dark. #indiegame #pixelart #horror #survivalcraftgames
Two months in Godot and it's great. The integration of script, objects, signals and how well they work together means I'm writing and extending gameplay code and shaders (badly) while doing art and design work. Things seem so much faster for dev but it could also be our small multiplayer project.
New #Godot Cheatsheets about shaders!! They are included in the ready-to-go collection($10) with +18 other cheatsheets + some exclusive extras qaqelol.itch.io/cheatsheet-v... You can also download them for free, one by one! qaqelol.itch.io/godot-cheats... #GameDev #Tutorial #IndieDev #Shaders
I've had the first 3 wishlists for my #incremental #indiegame built in #godot! 🥳 Yesterday was rubbish for #gamedev output so, needing a win, I threw caution to the wind & put my #steam page live: store.steampowered.com/app/4622380/Id le_Mining_Manager

Having struggled with (f)unemployment for a while, I've concluded that to get responses to job applications, I have to focus purely on #gamedev. The moment I make any progress on my #incremental #godot #indiegame & have any motivation/optimism for it, I'll be contacted by a swarm of recruiters 😬
To standardize game engine pronounciation, they should rename to Godot, Gunity, Gunreal
On this baking weekend, finally created scenes in #godot for my #indiegame store page capsules. I used the existing CRT shader and assets (the best my artistically challenged self can hope for). I think it turned out... 3.6 roentgen? (not great not terrible). One step closer.. #indiedev #gamedev
Gearing up for a big dev push on Sloppy Forgeries, the two-mouse game about copying famous paintings as quickly and accurately as possible. Coming Q3/4 2025. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #art #digitalart #games #videogames ✨ Wishlist ✨ ⇢ bit.ly/sloppy-bs
It's on days like this I wish I had a laptop battery that lasted for more than thirty seconds. At least I can do my 3 hrs internally debating what game system would be best to build next out in the sunshine, before going back to tweaking the UI for the one hundredth time. #gamedev #indiegame #godot
I'm at #godotcon, you'll recognize me by the pin 🫠 Feel free to say hi for free goodies! @godotengine.org
SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits
The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

I've been slowly chipping away at the mountain of #gamedev things to build/make better on my #indiegame. As well as repot the blueberry trees, interview for jobs and stress about why the tomato plants aren't thriving. Here's where my #godot Match 3 game was at a week or so ago: youtu.be/B5ixg6B3Q2Q

Having struggled to get vaguely acceptable looking animations in my Match3 game, I was over-the-top excited to see @kenney.nl releasing a Match3 Starter Kit: kenney.nl/starter-kits. Reviewing it has given me a lot of food for thought... #Indiegame #godot #gamedev

One year ago, I used #Godot for the first time!! Since - I made 6+ tiny games - I became ambassador of Godot Quebec - I went part time to make Godot guides - I started making a real video game Godot and it's community allowed me to grow in ways I never thought I could 🥺 Thank you so much 🩵🩵
