Got something strong enough to run bigger games now, so my Godot journey is gonna start this summer 🗣️🙏🏿

Thinking of starting a bi-weekly podcast, audio only, where I bring on a creator from any field (mostly game dev probably) and we talk about their craft and such. Wouldn’t do this till AFTER the Nintendo Direct project, but I think it could be fun? Hour long episodes, would you listen? #gamedev

Oh yeah, no idea when exactly this will enter production, but I’ve got a pretty solid plan and pitch for this now, gotta finish Spriit’s Arcade first though

Question: if I make a single-player game, and later decide to add multiplayer as a bonus mode, is that substantially harder than just making it multiplayer from the start? Like is that am extra year of development, or would it only take a few months? #gamedev

more people need to give themselves the opportunity to be a jack of all trades when it comes to gamedev. go on and learn the music software to make the music. learn to code (even if poorly). do the art and animation yourself. you’ll get it to work! it’s liberating to see how much you can accomplish.

My solo developed game FIENDRISE officially launches next week, on Thursday, April 17, 2025! ⚔️ #indiegamedev

For any small YouTubers reading this: don't use AI to make a thumbnail, that shit looks ugly as beans. Learn how to make one yourself (it's really not hard) or pay someone good to make one for you. It will look infinitely better!

I think after Spriit's Arcade, I'm going to make the jump to Godot. I've been putting it off for a while, namely because my laptop can't run anything with a third dimension very well, but by then, I should have enough extra saved up for a decent PC that can handle everything I'd want to do.

NOOOO GAMEMAKER, YOU WERE MEANT TO BE THE CHOSEN ONE

One of these days, make my words, I’m going to make a dating sim with a challenge beyond picking the right word choices 🗣️🙏🏿 I dunno when, but it will happen 🗿

Despite everything, I've still been working on BWAG, and I'm focusing on the visuals right now, with this plush defect that makes him follow your cursor. There'll be other subtle differences with the defects, so you'll have to play around and pay attention #gamedev

Next hypothetical, what if I did a shorter more relaxed show right after this big one that was specifically catered for devs? It’d have developer interviews, upcoming dev tools, and showcase asset creators and the like. Yay or nay? #gamedev

I lied, April Fools, Imma try to put it together this summer, already started production, so hopefully all goes well! If you're a developer who'd like to join, planning on opening submissions at the end of May, all you need is a trailer! (and other information but mostly the trailer) #gamedev

Might be good to share this again 🥱

Why is Pinterest so overrun with AI slop? It’s really frustrating when I want to compile references for a project and all I can see is AI, AI, AI, ad, and more AI. Could they at least add a toggle or something?
