Aspiring game dev. Terrible at social media. Actually just terrible at social. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My #gamedev motivation has been more or less dead, so I've been tinkering with something fangame-y for now. May or may not ever see light of day. Got some stuff together, but I dunno what engine to pick. Godot is what I want to work with for myself. Unity/Unreal could give me experience. Thoughts?

I'm in this and I don't like it. #gamedev

💥 New Zealand knows what’s up!!

Participating in the Bigmode game jam has me rethinking how I'm doing my project. I learned so much. Definitely pretty burned out though. And yes, it's broken. I'll make a new upload for a fixed version in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev catballgames.itch.io/charge-cube-...

Nailed it.

There. Have done the #DeleteFacebook. Their new rules allow for calling me property, and calling friends and family I have mentally ill. It's bullshit. Fuck Facebook.

My #gamedev focus is lost for the time being... Think I'll need to find a side project to poke for a while so I can come at my main one with fresh eyes again. Yay for #adhd I guess.

Here I am...

I left my game to run for a half hour or so and then went and picked up all my xp bubbles... I think I did an oops and didn't dispose of them correctly. So many orphan nodes... #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Had a nice and much-needed rest over Christmas, then spent the last couple of days making some awesome progress! There's now two styles of enemies: ones that track you and ones that streak across the screen. Also, ground clutter that is chosen on map generation. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #solodev

Hi #ScreenshotSaturday ! It's been a very slow week for personal reasons, so here's a scene of a shiny new tripping hazard. Watch your step! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Well, PC hardware upgrade is done. Not much of an upgrade, as the primary goal was to replace the ailing motherboard. However, computer does seem to be a bit snappier, so that's nice.

Post about the music you like listening to while working on your project. We find Hollow Knight's soundtrack to be really fitting! #gamedev 🎮 #indiedev 🕹️ #indiegamedev 👾

Well, not too much done this week, but those happen. Had other stuff going on. But, as it is indeed #ScreenshotSaturday I will show off my fixed landscape. No quick video this time, but my landscape doesn't look caught in a hurricane AND my generation is improved. Cool stuff! 😀

I think github copilot has a sense of humour today. It suggested this - utterly unhelpful, but it's okay. I feel that, too. Oh, well. No more autocomplete silliness in a few days. Can't really justify the cost after the trial. var key = "0_0" #gamedev

I'm legitimately floored at how much of my #gamedev stuff just plain works under #linux. To say nothing of the games I play actually working. I'm really glad I made the jump. I was pretty worried about the landing, tbh.

Uhhhhh oops. The ground is NOT supposed to do that. I should have known this would happen but it hasn't been a full-brain-cells kind of day. XD #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I went from "cool, that works, but I hate HOW it works" to "wow that doesn't work at all wtf" and I just don't even know. XD

You ever just wonder if you've been sleep-coding? I swear this stuff worked yesterday, I haven't touched it, I was just double-checking the current state to keep working from. Agh! #gamedev

Yay a new CPU/motherboard soon! This motherboard is falling apart (almost literally - bluetooth doesn't work and the USB ports can be sketchy, and the M.2 slot might be questionable). It's not much of an upgrade but I'm okay with that. I just want it stable.

First steps. Some stuff isn't quite where I had it in Game Maker, while some stuff is better. First screenshot I've shared, too, but I *just* missed #ScreenshotSaturday. :P #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Just game dev things I guess... x_x

Having my Nintendo Switch on is causing my TV to restart. I have no idea why, and it's never done this before. T_T

Wow. Hostinger does NOT let me alter my DNS settings unless I have a hosting plan. I wish I hadn't just renewed or I'd switch away in a moment. Too broke for crap, dammit. I wanted to use my domain for my handle here. :<
