Looking back on my game dev journey so far. Featuring events I've been in. (Also, I started a blog) Can't help but feel nostalgic digging through the old pics. To more events in the future, hopefully. blog.ardeimon.com/attending-ev...

Found some interesting games during a quick browse of PGDX earlier. (There's also Balana, Dogwood and Pitchfork Perfect but got no pics). Will check them out when I got the time. You should too!

Craggenrock turns 1 today! 🎂 Thank you so much to everyone who supported me along the way and to everyone who gave the game a chance. To another year of exceptional moments (and poor decisions)! 🥳 #indiegamedev

Seriously, what's up with this year's segments? So confusing.

000

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 12/05/2026

Idk what's with this year's Eurovision. It feels cleaner but almost too clean. I guess I got used to '24 and '25's "concert-like" vibes. Looking forward to 2nd semi! Cheering for Norway!

000

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 12/05/2026

Eurovision hosts and fillers are so bad, people got thinking like this. This made me laugh so hard lol

030

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 06/05/2026

Eurovision's drawing near. I really hope they tone down the flashy lights in some of the performances. The flashing can be a bit much, based on recent years. Painful to watch.

Craggenrock v2.0 update is arriving this May, with new decor options, plenty of balance changes, QoL improvements and bug fixes! 🥳 #indiegame #pixelart

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 25/04/2026

Working on some icon updates for #indiegame Craggenrock. Overall improvements with shapes, some color correction and general #pixelart refresh. 🎨

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 09/04/2026

Looking at (and working with) my old code makes me want to rewrite everything and start from scratch. It's amusing to see the different phases I went through, though. Switching from ds_* stuff to arrays was amazing.

000

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 06/04/2026

Been on a roll these past few weeks working on Craggenrock's next big update. It feels good to be in the zone again. Being careful not to burnout myself again. A lesson learned the really brutal way.

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 06/04/2026

More decor options coming soon to Craggenrock! 🖼️

While I'm really glad that my game is finally out, it's kinda hard to celebrate coz of the heavy rain and potential flooding in my area. 😬 (Still, yayyyy~) Apologies for any late replies. Internet's a bit spotty rn.

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 21/07/2025

i'm so scared. This is nerve wracking 🤢

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 24/06/2025

It's that time of the year again. ☹️ I really want and need to sleep, but I have to stay alert coz there's a chance it'll flood. Living in a floodprone area is a real pain.

Darkest Dungeon II's narration reminds me a lot of Schitt Creek's Moira Rose. The vocabulary.

Went to the IGG PH Awards Night earlier. Congrats to the winners! 🏆 It was nice catching up with some game dev friends (and getting some fresh air).

It's so hot 😩 Drinking cold water and taking multiple showers just ain't cutting it anymoreeee

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 11/03/2025

I'm a few weeks off my target, but I made quite a progress redoing Craggenrock's demo. Expanded story and dialogue, UI/UX improvements, re-balancing, etc. Onto testing next!

030

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 05/03/2025

I don't usually ask for help debugging my code, but when I do, it's some stupid mistake like a misplaced ")" or referencing variables that doesn't exist. A bit embarrassing having someone point out something trivial like those 😅

Paladins was my go-to game for years 😔 Sad to see how it's turned out...

I think this isn't my year. It's like sickness after sickness even before the last year ended.
