Taking a moment to thank a few sponsors for reaching out and supporting our first jamcraft.io gamejam. love.irish matched the $100 prize! www.linkedin.com/company/al3a... with assets! #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #itch #itch.io #gamejam

I FINALLY fixed the tree horizon. Trees generate as far as you can imagine without a major impact to performance. Huge win. How does it look? #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #suggestive #humor #comedy #adulthumor #funny #steam

Working on a big update for Find My Wiener(dog). This post shows off new tree variety! #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #suggestive #humor #comedy #adulthumor #funny #steam

In Find My Wiener(dog) VR, what kind of features would you like to see in the VR version? #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #suggestive #humor #comedy #adulthumor #funny #steam

Finally got the hobby site/portfolio up and running. What do you think? jamcraft.io #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames

Adding a VR billboard shader for the upcoming Find My Wiener(dog) update. Available here: godotshaders.com/shader/vr-bi... #gamedev #godot #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #vr #vfx #shaders #steam

Tweaked the colors, fog, horizon, and World Environment #gamedev #godot #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #suggestive #humor #comedy #adulthumor #funny #steam

Updating the credit roll portraits for the core dev team: myself, Sarah Knight (composer, @ SKnightComposer on X), and James Herr (programmer, @jamesherr.bsky.social). More to come! #pixelart #art #indiegame #gamedev #IndieGameDev

New menu system is coming together. Some of the icons are temporary. #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #pixelart #art #rpg

Do any of these Collaboration Smells sound familiar? Knowledge Silos Low engagement on calls Slow code reviews Working in isolation Work stops when key people are out Code quality is questionable Then mob programming might be for you and your team! #gamedev #mobprogramming #agile #agility

Early preview of The Secret of Luin. Words cannot express how happy I am to be working on such a beautiful project. #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #pixelart #art #rpg

Throwback to our gamejam submission for Juice Jam II. This one was cool because we used mob programming and some special idea gathering facilitation. severalherr.itch.io/poke-the-bear #gamedev #godot #twitch #mobprogramming #pairprogramming #softwaredev #indie #indiegames #screenshotsaturday

Mini-retros - The secret sauce to continuous improvement! After every gamedev or work session, take 5-16 minutes to reflect on both the social and technical aspects: ✅ Did our timers work? ✅ Were we mobbing effectively? ✅ Any experiments to try next? #gamedev #agile #mobprogramming

My wonderful wife artist experimenting with a new art style with some Chappell Roan doodles. #gamedev #art #doodles #chappellroan #pinkponyclub #goodluckbabe #mykinkiskarma #karma #drawing
