Hoo boy... I'm a solo dev, working (forever) on a Blender motion graphics node library, while my main project is a music visualizer (and more!) built in Godot. Oh, and I made a shader editor for phones last month.

obscuregames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Trippy vibes, very cool!

fideldestro.bsky.social•54 days ago

Thank you very much!

blackholeguy.bsky.social•54 days ago

godot mention peak!!! this is so awesome

fideldestro.bsky.social•54 days ago

😊 Really appreciate the kind words!

Gamedev by day. Indiedev by night.

jaindie.bsky.social•54 days ago

Does learning count?

obscuregames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Hell yeah! What are you digging into?

jaindie.bsky.social•54 days ago

Juste learning Godot and the overall design stuff, I LOVE this!

obscuregames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Awesome! Look forward to seeing what you come up with

jaindie.bsky.social•54 days ago

By the way, I’ll try to play your tomorrow, they look fun

jaindie.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well, it’s not much, just some GameJam games with crappy art or placeholder assets and no sound, but I’m focusing on mechanics while I keep learning:

Making a state machine compiler in Godot in prep for a 3D mecha game. Day job is mobile apps.

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Sounds complicated! Impressive motivation to code in the day and after work 💪

marshallcouch.bsky.social•54 days ago

Got a side hustle going. Working a mash up of tabletop simulator and jackbox party games. Just released a proof of concept.

Moved to Japan and have been making indie work! It's been hard but I'm paying my bills so far! :3

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Oh wow that's great! In Tokyo? I lived there for ten years.
Feel free to share a video of what you're working on!

cloudygamesllc.itch.io•52 days ago

Yoo that's wonderful! What brought you to the area? I moved out here since I was trying my best to just go indie and wanted to start over in life a little bit. My biggest indie project is Dragon Drop <3

Been on hiatus for a hot minute but I'm back at it!

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

This looks awesome! Look forward to see what you cook up next.
I was in japan to learn the language then study. I got a job after that but I moved to Korea a few years ago

cloudygamesllc.itch.io•52 days ago

Oh wonderful, how has Korea been treating you? I haven't been able to go yet but I'd love to visit someday!

And thank you! I've got a lot of irons in the fire right now, doing director work on multiple projects so it's been wild! XD

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Korea is great! Similar to japan but also very different. You should definitely give it a visit if you have a chance!

broelbrak.bsky.social•53 days ago

Parttime Mailman, Fulltime Indiedev. Working on a cinematic horror platformer called The Yokai Club!

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Sounds cool! Share a video or pics if you have them 👍

broelbrak.bsky.social•52 days ago

Stamina = Life

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is great! The movement reminds me of the first prince of persia game. Fun idea!

broelbrak.bsky.social•52 days ago

Thank you! Yes classic cinematic platformers like Prince of Persia are a big inspiration

cyryl514.bsky.social•53 days ago

I'm creating a cozy brick-by-brick city builder with production management and villagers life simulator with handful of info about their lives. Hopefully I'm gonna finish it in this decade 😃

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Sounds big! Share a video if you have it!

catskullgaming.bsky.social•53 days ago

Solo dev working on a puzzle game

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Got any pics or vid?

catskullgaming.bsky.social•52 days ago

Its still early days, the game play loop is half done but I have a good Idea what the game is. I know as you learn about different things in the world the dither effect will be lessened. I'm calling this prototype/proof of concept "Doug"

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Interesting idea! Very cool

somiaz.bsky.social•53 days ago

Thanks! It's fun! It's like a puzzle, you know the solution. The problem is how you get to it.

disfixional.bsky.social•54 days ago

Oh I'm all in. Kept seeing the advice of "make small games"...

...so the only logical thing to do was to make a 3D open world rpg.

obscuregames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Could be awesome, who knows right?
Passion will push you through!

starsickle.bsky.social•54 days ago

I am all in solo, but mostly because I'm a middle aged overeducated Gen-Y that had a late start.

So I'm broke and it sucks, but I have three main projects. I'm stuck on art.

I am available, but not cheap.

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Please share some pics or a video if you have them!

paperswordsman.bsky.social•53 days ago

I’m building a hero based combat platformer. The original intention was to use it as a project to learn Unreal, that became a bit much so I’m going back to Unity.

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

I've barely touched unreal. What was it that pushed you away?

paperswordsman.bsky.social•52 days ago

Honestly it was mainly an issue of familiarity. I have years of Unity experience and I was trying to learn unreal. Between my family and work learning a new engine was a bit too much.

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

I hear you. I would love to learn Lua and pico8, unreal too, but the climb back to proficiency puts me off. Never say never tho!

achiegamedev.bsky.social•50 days ago

Pico-8 I feel is super easy to pick up if you have any coding knowledge, the community is helpfull and our tutorial makers are amazing! /so to @nerdyteachers.bsky.social who tries to get a lot of new folk into the community through amazing materials!

mrnoone-dev.bsky.social•53 days ago

i am working on it

obscuregames.bsky.social•52 days ago

Great atmosphere! Keep at it 🫡

blackholeguy.bsky.social•54 days ago

i'm currently trying to make a 2D platformer kinda game solo,, i'm on mobile rn so i'll quote repost or whatever with a vid of my current progress,, it's incredibly barebones i will warn you

obscuregames.bsky.social•54 days ago

Share it up! Nothing is too bare bones among devs

blackholeguy.bsky.social•54 days ago

thank you!!
