I can usually be found making video games, playing video games, or sleeping. Currently working on cozy plant care game "Plant Sitting" in Godot! #godot #gamedev #solodev

I mean it’s objectively pretty funny to get a promo email for the character I wrote the day I’m let go #apexlegends #apexlegendssparrow #apexsparrow #respawnentertainment #ea

Sometime game dev is fun. But sometimes it’s slogging through a big list of boring tasks e.g when localising. However, if I put some good music in and work on it each day I can eventually get it done. So can you!

I re-discovered libraries this year, since then i've been going there weekly!! Libraries are amazing, my city has a huge network of them and even has the latest video games!! Been trying to convince my friends to get a card, it's free 🐁🐁

"Input Prompts" features icons for many input devices including all common consoles, PC and more. Over 800 icons, all completely free (public domain). A new update is coming soon! kenney.nl/assets/input...

Since I unintentionally started a conversation on open-source funding, please remember to donate to #Godot itself! It is the reason a lot of us are here, how we make cool games, and why I started this project altogether. I love it and it kept me making stuff all these years. fund.godotengine.org

I am still working on my game but have big news! On top of my current position as a game dev instructor, I will also take on a new game dev position to prepare for my move from America to Croatia!

Mentally I'm here, knitting a bunny sweater at the 1987 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, on a Nintendo knitting machine that will never be sold to the public.

I've added a Peace Lily! Now to make sure that plants are placed in reasonable positions in different pots... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #godot #blender #aseprite #art #indiedev #solodev

Bigger pot for bigger plants! Can you guess the first plant I have in mind for this pot? (Hint: the color of the pot is the color of this flower!) #screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #blender #aseprite #art #solodev #indiedev

While you can't see any water yet, the can is filled by using a hand pump, and can water flowers by holding down the mouse with the can equipped. Each "watering tick" will display a water particle system raining down on the plant! #godot #gamedev #solodev #blender #indiedev youtu.be/d15HGqa76so

No visual updates right now, except for my increasingly messy notes! Working on water-levels for a watering can and for plants. #godot #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #art #blender #aseprite

First video test for PlantSitting! Placing physics objects and rendering them to not clip through objects while held was a bit of a pain, would you like a video on how I made it work? #gamedev #godot #indiedev #solodev #blender #aseprite

Hit 300 followers! Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to growing and thriving on this platform and delivering you a cozy plant game! #gamedev #godot #blender #art #solodev #indiedev

Before I can get started watering with the world's worst modeled watering can, I need to defeat that age-old evil - model clipping! I'll likely be using a shader for this, how do you prevent item clipping in your #Godot games? #art #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Just wanted to plug poly.pizza which is a great resource for free assets, hosting most of the assets from Google's defunct Poly. Any good resources like this you would recommend? #gamedev #indiedev #blender #godot #art

Hey, gang! If you find #GodotSteam useful, please consider sponsoring the project on Github Sponsors! The money helps maintain all the various branches, docs, upcoming tools, and example projects like Skillet, our open-source / free-to-play game to show how it all works. github.com/sponsors/Gra...

Working on some normal maps and lighting to get the look of the game set up, these textures will be replaced later on but I want to start building out some plant nooks! Next up, putting our watering can to good use and the addition of a sink to fill it from. #digitalart #art #gamedev #godot

Is it really solo development if I have Reeses and Nutella as studio support members? #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Was researching native plants to Croatia and came across the "Missing CS:Source" flower! ("Kockavica", or "the checkered plant") #sourceengine #gamedev #croatia

I'm going for a mediterranean look with some @kenney.bsky.social textures! Do these look better as placeholder than the higher res textures I had previously? #blender #godot #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Can't wait for my Draw.io to get even more messy as time goes on! But what is creativity without a bit of mess? Any suggestions or comments on the ideas so far? #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

@steinmakesgames.bsky.social Thanks for the addition to your Godot extension pack! I'll be excited to share more on the #Godot game I am working on which has the tentative name of Plant Sitting! #indiegame #solodev #gamedev
