A bit more involved this one (so I had to throw it on YouTube), I am onto the polishing stage of this prototype. I am hoping to release something for people to play around the 21st Feb. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A73f... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Working on my AM Radio Simulation. Spent forever getting the modelling done (a few graphical errors need cleaning up). Getting there :D what do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Fellow gamedevs, which image do you think is scariest and why (or if none of them, why)? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

I am so hyped to see Nosferatu next weekend! Heres is my old attempt at colorising this iconic scene from the original movie. We saw it at the Shelly Theatre in Bournemouth with a live orchestra and that was such a great way to spend Halloween 🦇🖤🦇 #nosferatu #gothic #art #illustration

Excited to show off my AM Radio Simulator that I built in #unity I am planning on turning this into some sort of #horror concept. All the tuning is simulated. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Finally adding in the keyframes thanks to @nightblind.bsky.social! This is a WIP for my next piece of #vgm concept music. Where do you think it's set? #gamedev #indiedev #music #indiegame

Anyone familiar with GDExtension in #godot? Trying to get it to work with custom resource loading, but cannot fathom what is wrong. Any tips? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It's almost new year here in Blighty, you know... The place with the bell tower that goes bong? I'm just excited to hear the tower Bong, it's what all British people yearn for. A Happy New Year to all the #gamedev and #indiedev, I hope in 2025 your #indiegame gets the attention it deserves :)

Reading Moby Dick - so far, what a wonderfully weird novel. I like to engage with media outside of #indiegame as I feel that's a good way to learn new ideas and philosophies and grow as an artist. What do others look to for inspiration, I wonder?

Any other #gamedev get inspired by things you've experienced in your life - jobs, people, activities? Who doesn't love meetings about meetings, or the obligatory Christmas party? A few ideas there... Or maybe a glitter cleaning simulator? It would never end. #indiedev #indiegame

I hit a milestone #gamedev regarding my next game, and just before Christmas too. So... I have to try and do this thing called "relax" which I'm not really sure how to do or what it is. Is it like, an API?.. a toolset?.. a typed dialect of Lua? Life is weird. #indiedev #indiegame

It's been a pretty intense year isn't it? Time to wrap it up with a new devlog, where we discuss all the things that happened this year, and what we've been working on since the last devlog! www.patreon.com/posts/118405... #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev

I've been told many many times to play #OFF and now I can, as apparently it will be released on Switch - so I get to purify from the comfort of my own bed. (I have played the first 10 minutes of the original and it is definitely my thing)

Thanks to #indiedev, I am divided between #godot, #gamemaker, and #unity for what to use on shorter-form and free #gamedev ideas. At this point, any will satisfy my requirements, but leaning towards Unity (because of the web app). Things will be 2D, but spoofing 2D in 3D is a better. Thoughts?

On the left is the first ever piece of #PixelArt I had made and it was #Omori fanart The one on the right is for the current game I'm working on and I wanted to repost it because... I don't know, I guess I'm just really proud of how I've developed as an artist #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieHorror

Any other #gamedev folks that work in #C++ sometimes feel like their code is secretly doing something horribly wrong, despite the fact it works perfectly with no memory leaks? I am just waiting to get a few more years into the game only to have my computer suddenly explode. #indiedev #indiegame

I decided to highlight some #gamedev progress with a silly little video. Let me know what you think :) This is engine progress on the "Postman Lives" phase of work, so it's almost done (just need to add/finish the temp animations). Then it's onto the tech roadmap oh boy! #indiegame #indiedev
