Every sunday night I do a game jam. This is the result. Forget a shovel, lets just use a flamethrower! #GodotEngine #gamedevelopment #indiedev #gamedev

Where's my shovel?!?! I'll settle for a frying pan... #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Just a nice way to end the week. Hope yall have a good weekend! #godotengine #gamedev #indiegamedev #indie #indiedev #godot

So I’m gonna be doing this whole building in public thing. This is what I got so far and I’m struggling with what to do for replayability besides getting high score? I enjoy it but idk if others would. Any ideas welcome. General idea is fill all circles. Might deviate from that though. #gamedev

Heard people like the CRT filter ;) #godotengine #godot #gamedev

This week Zach asks how can we possibly find our audience as creators, then Buddy brings a bit of a variety segment to the discussion by looking back at the gaming trends the pair saw the birth of. Listen now! And become a patron for extended episodes! Link in our bio ✨

Digging yourself out of the hole can be so hard sometimes : /

A friend reminded me that I need to celebrate the small wins. Those are the things I keep us going. Quantum Cell: An Idle Evolution hit 6k plays! I'm working on a big update for the game and excited to have it out on Thursday! #smallthings #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev #celebrate

Pressing T changes the theme! wiafe.itch.io/quantum-cell... #gamedev #GodotEngine #indiedev

Worked on a simple idle adaptation of Conway’s game of life last week. Just put it out on itch for feedback! If you like idle games take a look. wiafe.itch.io/quantum-cell... #idle #idlegames #incremental #shipit #gamedev #godotengine #godot

youtu.be/Unc9TsHfSr0?... Great interview my friends are on! Check out their game on mobile as well. #podcast #gamedev #arthistory

I think this is so true. I genuinely love creating and feeling myself leveling up. Last year I worked on 25 different prototypes. Some I might revisit but most were to learn and understand certain concepts. @localthunk.bsky.social Thank you! #gamedev www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c...

Having a composer / sound designer on the team is THE BEST! Sound on πŸš‚πŸ”Š #gamedev #indiedev #trains #roguelikedeckbuilder #godot #turnbased #indiegame

Working on a project with @tempuslens.bsky.social We decided our game needed some nostalgia factor. I've uploaded the shader to godotshaders! godotshaders.com/shader/jazz-... You can change: - Colors - Speed - Size #godot #godotengine #gamedev #shaders #nostalgia

After all the work today. This is what I'm most proud of! I'm not even sure anyone will see this but I wanted it in for my sake lol. The hearts react differently depending on the side you come from! #godotengine #gamedev #delight

5am sound design. Looking for that satisfying thud. #sounddesign #ableton #gamedev

Godot 4's RichTextLabel are awesome! #godotengine #gamedev #text

Alright! New Year new me ;) Ultimately didn't end up meeting my goal which is ok! I can just push the deadline ;). Shooting now for mid Jan to get it done!

Day 18, 19, and 20! Not a lot to show visually. Lots and LOTS of bug fixes. Been working on audio and got great feedback today. Goal next week is to pin down sound and at least 2 more scenes!

Wrote up a full-length tutorial for the cross-hatch light shader: hexaquo.at/pages/handpa... And also added one on Pop-Art-style halftone shading, since the approach is quite similar: hexaquo.at/pages/pop-ar... Hope it helps! #godotengine #godot #gamedev

Day 17! Did a lot of lighting work and bug fixing. Excited to show it all working together on Friday! #godot #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

To save player inventory in Godot, make a dictionary for items, convert it to a JSON string with `JSON.print()`, and write it using `File`. Load it with `File.read()` and parse with `JSON.parse()`. This enables seamless save/load using JSON. #MakeGames #Godot #GameDev

Day 16! Did a lot today but I'm most proud of this button 🀣. I decided to go with an oscillator effect on the button. Why!? Because i think it looks good! #godot #godotengine #indiedev

Because people really seem to like the #GodotEngine plush I find it apt to mention that I actually animated a lil' character based on it when the plush was first revealed! Look at 'em go. Off to cause chaos, and carnage. I'm so proud of them. #IndieGames #PixelArt #Animated #GIF #GameDev

Day 15! Lets make it juicy! #godot #godotengine #gamejuice #indiedev #gamedev

Day 14! Today I did nothing! Sometimes you just need to noodle, very execute.
