Here's a screenshot, as Bluesky video quality is ****. - I've increased subtractive blending to the patterns. This creates a deeper image (great on OLED screens etc.) - Also adding colour & alpha to the vapour trails, to create a beautiful shimmering effect. #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegames

Putting the *limited* in Limited Run today - there are now only 16 hours left to get our Greatest Hits Cassette Tape! At the end of the day orders CLOSE FOREVER. 10 years, 10 games, 1200 fonts for commercial use on one nifty cassette tape USB chequered.ink/chequered-in... #GameDev #IndieDev

It looks like a menu. It behaves like a menu. It might actually be a menu.πŸ§™β€β™€οΈπŸͺ„ Tell me what you think - too much? Not enough? Too sentient? #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegame #TrailerTuesday

I kind of like how messed up it looks at low resolutions. Steam - store.steampowered.com/app/2663840/... Itch - clubcottongames.itch.io/an-aisling humble - www.humblebundle.com/store/an-ais... #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #GameMaker

This is how easy @itchio.bsky.social (and @gamemaker.io) has made it to integrate version checking in your game. (Thanks guys!) Took me only a few minutes to add this in right before I released the game. Let me show you! (🧡) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #tips #tricks #gamemaker #itchio #api

Using #gamemaker? Wanna do a #gamejam? THE CHOCOLATEY GMC JAM 55! The jam will run from Feb 26th - Mar 3rd! More info at the link: forum.gamemaker.io/index.php?th... #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH ... *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA! #fuckAI #hypocrites

This is one of the main reasons why I will not use any "AI" products. The gradual erosion of one's self-worth along with the growing dependence on easily manipulated and often wrong information, is incredibly dangerous, and it's no wonder it's being pushed in the current political climate. #NoAI

tried to teach my friend gamemaker. asafe to say im traumatized

Already working on the next free #gamedev asset pack. This one will feature puzzle elements and collectible items, like these gemstones. Could be used in Match 3, could pop out of a treasure chest in an adventure game... or anything in between! #GameMaker #Art

And if you missed our deal, or you're hungry for even MORE fonts, my good friend @hawtpixel.bsky.social is running a similar deal until the end of January!

#GameMaker tip of the day: even if an object has no sprite, you can still stretch it and color it in the Room Editor. This is perfect for making control objects easier to find in large rooms. #indiedev #gamedev

Hey everyone. I'm running a deal on all 650 of my commercial use fonts until the 31st! Representing over a decade of my font output, at a crazy low price of just $19 (less than I normally license a single font for!) Cheers and a Happy New Year to all! :) hawtpixel.itch.io/hawtpixel-fo... #gamedev

For those of you just starting out with #GameMaker, here's a quick guide on loading in custom fonts like the ones we make! chequered.ink/how-to-use-o...

The Paramecium class has easier handling, and the ability to spawn bubble streams! Ride them for a speed boost, or use them to push enemies away! #gamedev #indiedev #gamemakerstudio

Fun fact - every level in #Burgertale is contained in a single #GameMaker room asset, it's mostly for making it faster to edit but it also means it's surprisingly easy to just read ALL collision data for a detailed map on the pause screen. #indiedev
