I think its important to appreciate those that helped you. Might just be some simple text now, but want to keep a record. Any tools, companies, people that have an impact on my projects I would like to honour them in credits/about. #gamdev #indie

Started walking for 2 hours a day, nabbed a walking pad so I can do it whilst playing a game... (more like so I actually do it) Too easy to neglect health when you work in tech and like playing games...

@kenney.nl Did you know that you are mentioned in our Special Thanks section in our Credits? Your free assets have been a crucial part of our game dev journey, and we use a lot of them in our game. Thank you so much for supporting the game dev community for over 10 years ๐Ÿงก

Godot why is my main scene randomly pointing to a non-existent UID... Well more important why isn't there any checks or flagged in logs. You'd think there would be some mention of not being able to find/load the scene

Saturday's Screenshots footage featured both the ๐Ÿฎ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐Ÿณ ๐—™๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—”๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐˜๐˜€. The visuals is intentionally desaturated :) e'm prolly going to use this look for cinematic narrative direction ^_^y #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #Godot #RTS BGM : Yuki Masuda-Zutto Kimi Ni Soba De

Chessemble 0.5 - Era of range is now live - New pieces: Yabusume, Trainee Archer - Search pieces in forge - Check feedback - Ability to surrender Read more: lundregan.itch.io/chessemble/d... #godot #indie #indiedev #gamedev #chess

Corfu was a beautiful little island

Was hoping to push a small update but things came up, and last minute bugs always strike when you least expect them. Probably won't be a patch next week either

Yabusame The horseback archer gives up their capture on move, for a more elegant ranged attack #chess #godot #indie

Ummm who gave the pawn a bow, this is highly illegal shizz... #godot #indie #indiedev

Working on a large refactor to support some more exotic kind of abilities and effects for pieces, will be aiming for a smaller patch, but will include some things like: - Feedback for king being in check - formation renaming - ability to surrender #gamedev #godot

Looks like the servers for Chessemble were misbehaving. They should be back up now, apologies for any disruptions.

Had a lovely chat with @chilltownblues.bsky.social where we talked about RPG Chess! You can check it out here if you're interested๐Ÿ‘‡ #gamedev open.substack.com/pub/chilltow...

Perhaps sacrilegious but don't think ill be including the checkmate rule, but instead only warning when the king is threatened... Potentially there may be many ways to escape checkmate, plus I think its pretty cool to actually take the king. #indiegame

As I add more pieces, it becomes more important to offer better tools for managing your formation. First iteration allows you to search for pieces from the big list Other filters will be added as mechanics are cemented and the available piece list grows #gamedev

Chessemble 0.4 is now live - New piece: Hound - Ability to change display name - UI sounds to button clicks - Movement animations for pieces Read more: lundregan.itch.io/chessemble/d... #godot #indie #indiedev #gamedev #chess

With a variety of new pieces upcoming, there should be a way to see what a piece does... in the future I would like to have some visual gifs of their movement/attacks/abilities. or maybe a render board showing their use #gamedev #solodev #godot #indie #indiegame
