Game dev is allowing yourself to not fit the mould vis a vis regular posts, dev logs, YouTube updates and not feeling guilty about that Your mileage may - and likely will - vary And that’s cool #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

This month in 🎮 game dev: Features aren’t always worth putting in a public devlog Been working on under-the-hood map gen stuff that nobody will care about and that’s fine. Skipped a dev log or two #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

Haven't been speaking much about game dev because I've been labouring over some functionality that's hard to talk about because I don't know how to go about it Finally got to the point where I understand how this guy's mind works #solodev #indiedev

Game devs who are using Godot specifically, what’s on your Godot feature wish list? #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I’m an unpublished, unproven and amateur game dev, but I’d suggest that giving yourself breaks and forgiving yourself when you get “stuck” is the route to producing a good, fun and decent game as an indie dev #gamedev #Godot #solodev

Been a little while since I posted here - wanted to take a little break from game dev last week to reset - but here's part 8 of my DevLog Got some even cooler stuff I've been working on coming down the pipeline #godot #gamedev #solodev #rpg

In this devlog, I talk about adding trees, procedurally generated rocks, terrain and a day-night cycles into my game with some pretty pictures! I'm a solo dev creating a multiplayer RPG set in an Ancient Greek style world. Nice to get to do a bit of game art stuff done #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Capsule takes their first steps! Officially a toddler game 👶🎮 Nice piece of game programming! Client tells the server where it wants to go and server calculates the path finding. It's a bit jittery, definitely some work to do to smooth it out, but it's very cool :D #gamedev #godot #rpg #solodev

A question for all my #ADHD gamers out there - what good representations are there for ADHD in games? Leslie Knope always springs to mind when I think about characters in TV, just wondering about games?

(Game devs please share) Are there any game publishers on Bluesky? What do you look for when trying to find a new project to team up with? #gamedev #publishing #gamepub

Part 6 of the dev log for my multiplayer RPG game "Calyros" is now up! If you're seeing me for the first time, I'm a solo dev who decided to say "fuck it" to conventional wisdom and make a multiplayer RPG game set in a vaguely Ancient Greek world! Join me! #gamedev #godot #indiedev

So, I - and my multiplayer RPG, Calyros - are on itch now. Here’s the link. You can also see the dev log there instead of going to my blog, if you prefer #devlog #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot

Added game lighting, procedural rocks, terrain shader and placeholder lollypop trees added, and suddenly it looks a bit like a game And yes, it's synced between game clients #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Rocks (and soon trees, plants, grass etc) in my game Calyros are all procedurally generated. Here are some examples! Still some work to do but what do you think? #indiedev #solodev #godot

I forgot to post it here the other day but... I thought it was time I finally introduced my game 🎮 I'm a solo dev working on a multiplayer RPG set in an original, Ancient Greek-inspired world. It's very early days, but if you want to come along for the ride, check out my dev log #gamedev #godot

🎮 Game developers of Bluesky, I have a question 🙋‍♂️ How do you grow the audience for your games? I’d like to start building a little community in the coming months, and just wondering how all you lovely folk have achieved that? For context, in a solo game developer. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

🎮 Can Godot do multiplayer? Absolutely! Completing the basics of networking for my multiplayer RPG feels very good, even if it doesn't look like much yet Getting to work rolling in all the visuals I've created #gamedev #solodev #rpg #godot

submitted 129 days ago • 0 comments

Thinking of writing a post about how to do networking in Godot for those who are interested in writing multiplayer functionality for their game. Any takers? It’s not crazy complex and I’ve just finished it in my own game dev, so it’s still fresh in my mind #godot #gamedev #solodev 🎮

🎮 🎇 My game dev New Year’s resolution - especially as a solo dev - is to do project proper management. I love the puzzle solving aspect of game dev, so I get distracted from making the stuff that counts I’m gonna use the 80:20 rule to prioritise tasks #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

No devlog update today (because Christmas) but I’m back on the tools now and hoping to have something to talk about next week #gamedev #devlog 🎮

Merry christmas, all! If you’re an obsessive game dev like me, take this time to let new ideas stir, have a proper rest and spend time with your family. We can get back to neglecting them in January. Drink and make merry 🍺 🎅 #gamedev #solodev 🎮

Game devs of Bluesky! Just curious, what weird things have you found inspiring when making your games? I ask, because a walk I went on recently got me thinking about trees and how I might procedurally generate them #godot #gamedev #solodev
