Quick update—I’m stepping away from streaming for a bit while I focus on my health. I’m okay, just prioritizing what I need right now. This might be a long break, but who knows what the future holds. Appreciate all the support, and I’ll still be around. Take care, and keep being awesome!

After 14 months of development, I am proud to share with you that my game is finally released on Steam! Go solve puzzles, have headache and enjoy the final product! I do not ask often, but please share this! store.steampowered.com/app/2731590/... #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #puzzle

I've been taking a relaxing streaming/dev break, but I'm ready to hop back into making Rise of the Intern tomorrow! See you then!

Our Stream Team Jam 2025 game has been submitted! Introducing Backhand Bandit, a western-themed pinball game where you play as a bandit trying to rob the town. A game by Average Game Studio & 2 Nerdy Nerds. 2nerdynerds.itch.io/backhand-ban... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot #twitch

Backhand Bandit is almost ready to submit after 2 weeks of game jammin! Only a few more items remain. I can't wait for everyone to play! It's been a pleasure working on this with @2nerdynerds.bsky.social 🤠 (sound on) #gamdev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot

I made amazing progress on stream tonight, even after almost bricking the game... Thanks for hanging out while I struggled through closing the game loop! Level select, progression, and even winning the game is possible now! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot

Backhand Bandit is coming along SOOOOO well. Overhauled sfx, made music and added background sounds. Added bullets to the HUD & RELOADS. The game feels ALIVE. @2nerdynerds.bsky.social doing wonders with the art and gameplay programming 🤌 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot

Backhand Bandit (game jam with @2nerdynerds.bsky.social) is coming along nicely! With a little over a week left in the jam, there's still tons to do, but here's a little update video (with sound lol). Enjoy! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #godot

Backhand Bandit is coming along great! I'm working with @2nerdynerds.bsky.social to bring our silly game to life. We have 2 weeks, and I feel like it's going well. 2 days down! #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I started a new project with @2nerdynerds.bsky.social for our stream team game jam! 1 day down, like 12 more to go! Introducing, Backhand Bandit: A hot potato pinball game set in the wild west! Thanks for hanging out on stream while we build it! #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

In case anyone was wondering what the bug was that I COULDN'T figure out last night.... I forgot to connect the boss death signal 🫠

With the indie game dev stream team game jam coming up, this might be the last Rise of the Intern post until the end of the month. Survivor-like gameplay with RPG elements - ALMOST DONE!! See ya Friday 🥸 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot

The boss health bar is now added to the HUD when they spawn. This was a weak boss, but you get the idea! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #godot

I got RPG-style enemy selection setup. This will be used for targeted abilities and checking up on enemy statuses (ie. elite, boss, level, health). Bonus, my survivors-like setup is endless for now! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

How do people keep up with their various server Discord messages without making it a full-time job?

Now that I know how to pass shader variables around. I can age the player as you level up 🤣 #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I'm working on enemy scaling, abilities UI, and some other stuff tonight on stream for a few hours. Come hang out and say hello! www.twitch.tv/theaveragegoob #gamedev #indiedev #twitch

Them: How will you know when the boss spawns? Rise of the Intern: You'll know. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #indiegame

Happy New Year everyone!

Spawning system setup and ready for tweaking. Thanks for hanging out in stream while I build the wave spawning system for Rise of the Intern live! I added XP, timer, better ranged enemies, and wave system/boss spawner. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

I cooked up some ranged enemies and made them run away if you get too close. I hate this in games, so I figured it made sense to add it! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

I just launched my new website rebrand/redesign! Come check it out if you have a minute and wanna see my portfolio. I brought back the orange from my previous brand design when it used to be called North Suns Entertainment. 😁 Here's to 11 years of indie projects! averagegamestudio.com

How can I NOT share what I've been working on? Almost too much for one short video. HUD, Pause menu, experience drops, and CRT monitor shader for Rise of the Intern! Happy Holidays! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #indiedev

The ranged attack took way longer than I expected, but it's working now! Thanks for chilling with me while I built this mechanic live! I can throw nerd mugs at enemies 👌 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #godot

Time for some ranged enemy mechanic testing tonight on stream for Rise of the Intern. Starting at 7pm EST. www.twitch.tv/theaveragegoob #Godot #gamedev

Thanks for hanging out on stream while I built out the starting functionality for melee enemies in Rise of the Intern! They deal a ton of damage right now... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Never forget!
