Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 3hDon't wanna promise too much modesty, that may need to be limited to the sequel 010
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 4hFeedback heard. I've redesigned the main character's clothing to be more modest. 120
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's becoming a game about kicking things, isn't it... #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 24710
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Totally didn’t even know that existed until right now 120
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yea I don't mind scrapping things. it's part of the process, despite it feeling wasteful 030
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I threw away last week's biome and replaced it with a new palette and new sprites. Honestly, it seems throwing away things I've made is like half the process... #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 710614
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Something about great bulk brings great responsibility 010
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Could there be a way to bounce the block upwards temporarily if there’s nothing on top of it? 000
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 22/09/2026If you can see it, you can very much destroy it #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 1264
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 21/09/2026dropped a new funky Fool's Metal trailer (the game with the big guy destroying entire levels with his overwhelming presence) #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 0173
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Playing around with a new biome with a new palette. Keeping all the same destruction of course. #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 2226
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Keep it ofc. And you've got 2 projects going, so can always switch to the other for a bit. 100
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Time for some new explosions art #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart 1284
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Been working to make sure everything interacts with absolutely everything. #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 717714
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Making games is all about combining one stupid idea that shouldn't work with another stupid idea that shouldn't work. Point in case. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev 2296
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 04/09/2026What about not customisable, but chubby nonetheless… 130
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 04/09/2026That would meaning making Nazis exist in the game’s canon. 110
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Any more mechanics I should steal from Raiders of the Lost Ark? #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 2252
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Yep, the lava in my game is exactly that edge case. Framerate is flawless until the level is covered with lava, then I may as well be playing Skyrim on PS3. 000
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Thanks, I really appreciate that. Development progress can feel slow on my end, so it’s really cool to hear that. 110
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I’d been trying to make them seem really heavy, but I think you’re right. They’re a fairly new addition to the game so I’ll keep tinkering around with them for a while / will give your height based topple-speed suggestion a try. 010
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Definitely an inspo for me. I kinda think of it as Broforce meets Spelunky meets Crash Bandicoot 100
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I’ve been working on Fool’s Metal for nearly a year.

Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 29/08/2026It's a lot of fun to play with/design with, but it opens up just as many design challenges too. 000
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Experimented with new attack animations this week. #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 78812
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I can't even wrap my head around how this works. 000
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Enough destruction for one week. #gamemaker #indiegame #gamedev 082

Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 25/08/2026This whole "domino" mechanic thing has really made making levels fun again. #gamemaker #indiegame #gamedev 2233
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/08/2026That’s like, the perfect description of it. 000
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/08/2026What if I told you that dirt blocks are that item? 111
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Maybe something I should add as an accessibility feature. 110
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I didn’t expect this clip to take off 😬. If the game looks cool to you please check it out and wishlist Fool’s Metal on Steam.

Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Been toying with a new “domino” mechanic. At least that’s what I’m calling it for now. #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegames 1116722
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Imagine this …but like with Crash Bandicoot music. That’s the vibe I’m going for. #gamedev #gamemaker 0193
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 08/08/2026A humble first attempt at a trailer for my big fella break things game Fool’s Metal. Will keep iterating constantly over time and always in search of feedback. #gamedev #gamemaker #screenshotsaturday 0103
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Toying with unconventional environment manipulation stuff in Fool’s Metal. Players always understand they can break/explode anything, harder to wrap head around hooking and moving things around. #GameMaker #GameDev 0101
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Saved this image for reference when I attempt it 010
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/08/2026I’m trying to even imagine how diagonal tiles would be drawn in this pseudo 3d perspective and it’s hurting my head already (and this is well before any math) 110
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/08/2026At this point all blocks, but now you’ve given me something to think about 110
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Was starting to feel a bit creatively tired working on Fool's Metal so I decided to try make things that are just silly and fun for a bit. So now, you can turn into boulder. #GameMaker #GameDev 1171
Alan - Fool’s Metal @alanpickled.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Lots of incremental games driving it I’d hazard to guess? 110
