I got awesome reactions on Bodhi. A player mentioned they lost 3kg of bodyweight just using the journalling part. Also got feedback: re-decoration was too sensitive. I included a check for "screen drag" to make it easier to redecorate for those without steady fingers. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

"A world without Caesars". Damn, you're awesome @jay.bsky.team ! Keep up the amazing work until there is no Via Appia for new Caesars to walk left. #bluesky #socialmedia #tech www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7Ow...

👋 Hey there awesome person! The first release of my game Bodhi is out! The goal of the game is to build a cozy bathhouse for spirits by tracking the food you eat. You can download it using this link (it's 100% free) play.google.com/store/apps/d... #godot #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #art

Revised version of the Shiko Workout you can do in Bodhi, with some camera shake. Rikishi, or Sumo Wrestlers, are known to do Shiko over 300 (!) reps per day to strengthen their legs. It's an interesting balance exercise and a fun one to do! #workout #gamedev #indiedev #godot #sumo #shiko

Bodhi 🐸, the paper-drawn game I'm working on, will be primarily a food journal focusing on nutrition. But you'll also be able to do "follow-along" workouts with a Sumo Wrestler to gain extra xp. Stay happy and healthy! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #sumo #shiko #art

Can you imagine all the years of hard work put into training the GPT models and somebody just scrapes it and uses it for it's own gain without your permission? Terrible news indeed. P.S. fellow Gamedevs; be careful when sharing/generating code on R1. #ai #gamedev #indiedev #deepseek #openai #r1

I added a Torii Gate to help welcome the spirits to the bathhouse. When we went to Japan I saw so many, and learned that you should never walk through the middle as to not disturb the spirits walking through. #art #indiedev #godot #gamedev

I love how HP forces me to use their "HP Smart" environment to make use of my 15 year old printer but still wants me to add that same printer "as new" every time I scan my drawings for game art assets. Corporations are more disconnected from reality by the day. #gamedev #godot #indiedev #art #hp

I made a quick development update for January 2025 for my Gamedev Activities. You can watch it here: youtu.be/tF0unCAoP9g #gamedev #godot #indiedev

I'm going to pick up teaching Physics soon. Anyone know of a game that uses Physics Experiments or is built for simulating experiments in the classroom? If not; I'll build one myself! Video is of Dichroic Cubes for a demo. Reposting is appreciated <3 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #games #physics

Added a second Onsen option to the game. This time it's a big wooden circular tub. #godot #indiedev #gamedev #art #drawing #ghibli

I've added a sort of "porcelain" or "decorative" version of the Great Wave as a decoration option in my game. Honestly when studying the original art I'm even more impressed at how it was made. Have a great day y'all! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #ukiyoe #art

掃除の時間だよ!🧼 The bathhouse is getting dirty, some spirits come in to thoroughly clean themselves. 🧹 Make sure to keep it tidy! Have a great day y'all. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #art #drawing #ghibli

Drew two new decorations for my bathhouse food journal game. Not the best drawings I ever made but I think they add a nice touch to the game. Stay happy and healthy <3 #gamedev #indiedev #drawing #art #onsen #ghibli #godot

Probably the most dramatic photo I ever took of a book. #booksky #books #stoicism

Guys how do I fix this the shader of my water seems to load only half the surface. Any ideas? Could it be the DOF? I'm using the REALWORLD engine, pretty strong on physics but it does have some bugs. #gamedev #indiedev #godot (Picture of a half-frozen lake near my house)

Game Reviews like these are so awesome to get from random strangers. I deeply thank you, kind person, that you took the time to write those motivating words. It's a review for The Enchiridion a game-version of the book. You can download it here: play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #indiedev

For my fellow (game) creators out there; Pinterest seems to be the first platform to fall to the avalanche of A.I. Blubber & Slop that's being generated. I really, really hope Bluesky will be different. youtu.be/PR73xDbB24c?... #gamedev #indiedev #art #ai #blubber

For all of you fellow Gamedevs and other awesome people out there starting there year... For all those working on goals, big ideas, dreams and adventures... I hope you all find and thrive in the four ingredients of your "Ikigai". Have an awesome 2025 <3 #ikigai #goals #indiedev #gamedev

I'm interested in what you think; What's on your mind at the last day of the year? P.S. Have a great years-end, be safe and healthy <3 #art #drawing #nye #newyear #bluesky

Quick holidays sketch. "Snoopin' around" ...enjoy your day amazing person. #art #drawing #markers #ecoline #paint

Rembrandt's "Titus at his Desk" BUT INSTEAD it is "Titus at his Desk" (OC, watercolor markers). #warhammer #spacemarine #40k #art #drawing #watercolor #markers

I think this is the best piece of art I drew in 2024, right before it wraps up. Happy holidays y'all, don't open the door to strangers that stink of death! #art #drawing #warhammer #40k #deathguard

🎮 How my Gamedev journey started (end of 2023) vs. how it's going (end of 2024). (🔊 experience my emotional journey with sound on) It's been quite a ride. How has your year been? #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #unity #games

I want to feature some Ukiyo-e art in my Godot game (Bodhi) so I'm learning how to draw it. The art-pieces should all lead to different minigames. Here's the second piece I made; A Sumo Suplex. Do you have any feedback? #art #sumo #gamedev #godot #indiedev #drawing #ukiyoe #rikishi

What if they remake the classical RollerCoaster Tycoon but instead it's multiplayer where you built the park together in real-time? Just having a relaxing good time together - building, chatting, crashing rollercoasters, locking up guests... ...wait wat? #gamedev #indiedev #games #rollercoaster

🔴 Live training example of OpenAI's new Reinforcement Learning Algorithm called "Chi-K3n" based on a K-bandit Greedy Policy. Might use this in my game but exploration metrics need some fine-tuning; Chi-K3n didn't explore if the blue circle gives it even more food. #ai #software #gamedev #indiedev
