Two weeks ago for a game jam, I made 2D planet gravity from scratch... and it's really easy! Here's a short thread on how it works 🧵: #gamedev #tutorial

Finally 100%'d The Knight Witch by @supermegateam.bsky.social. Such an incredible game, really regret not trying it sooner. Might be my favorite Metroidvania I've played in years!

Working on adding different buildings to towns. #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

YES!!! Finally! (The game is "Dragonsweeper", by the same game dev who made 2023's "Storyteller", another fantastic game and a favorite of mine. Go play them both!)

took the screenshot and got blown up right after... i'm so bad at this game ;_;

New UI: wheel menu that appears only when necessary, no overlays, no clutter. Also, they can be "context aware," so you have more options at campsites and towns. #gamedev #indiedev

Procedurally generated a new world... and it's kinda shaped like Italy??

It's all ogre now. #gamedev #indiedev

Everything has a skeleton :) #gamedev #indiedev

My game didn't feel like an "authentic" fantasy game until we added the low HP level 1 skeletons. Now where are my giant rats... #gamedev #indiedev

Sorry for not posting updates last week! The UI system has been 100% re-written from scratch to use SDF rendering instead of bitmaps. This should help with non-pixel fonts on item descriptions etc. But it's taking a little longer than I thought 🥲

Used the magic of copy/paste to make two new knight designs this morning. Yeah, it's kinda lazy, but players won't notice... 🤞 #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

I can't decide on the knight's colors. Which do you like best? Or none of the above? If I don't have an answer by tomorrow, I'm adding customization to the game, and making it everyone else's problem 😤 #gamedev #pixelart #ドット絵

Sprite stacking is AWESOME!!!! New Boat Sprite made by @tinmerlo.bsky.social ! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Finally back to work on my game, after a few weeks of holiday break. Almost finished the Traveling Merchant's sprite! He needs some more junk in his wagon and then he'll be done. #pixelart #ドット絵

After several failed attempts, and help from @benji.gg. Behold my Hello World Triangle with OpenGL, SDL and of course, odin.
