I’ve been digging through my discarded projects and found this little gem. Dominoes is one of my favorite tabletop games—it’s in my Cuban DNA. I may turn this into my next game, while learning more about AI for player-vs-computer matches and multiplayer. Let’s get this thing rolling! #indiedev

I have been "accused", and rightly so of spaghetti coder 😁. Here's my path to redemption. This, by far is one of the best books I have read about code architecture in Godot and I'm eating this like a hungry bookworm. #GodotBestPractices #gamedev

As Steam Next Fest comes to an end, I just wanted to say thank you. I know ~140 wishlists isn't a huge number, but seeing Word Search Cafe grow and watching people discover the game has made me incredibly proud. Thank you for supporting my game. #indiedev #Godot #gamedev

I know 100 wishlists isn't a massive milestone, but it means a lot to me. Watching the number grow over the last 2 days of SteamNextFest has made me feel proud of the work I've put into my game. Every wishlist is someone giving my little game a chance. Thank you all for giving it a try ❤️ #indiedev

As Steam Next Fest approaches, I'm feeling excited, nervous, and proud all at once. Tomorrow, the press gets early access to the demos, and Word Search Cafe will be among them. It's a little surreal to see a project I've worked so hard on reach this stage. #gamedev #Godot #indie shorturl.at/xfsQK

Small feature, but one I really wanted in Word Search Café: When you finish a puzzle, the game now snapshots the solved board and shows it in the victory screen instead of covering the puzzle instantly with a popup. Considering adding sharing to Steam/socials later too. #gamedev #Godot #indiegames

One feature I debated adding to the game was a leaderboard system. In the end, I decided to include leaderboards only for levels where the timer is enabled. Rankings are also separated by difficulty mode, with independent leaderboards for Normal and Hard. #indiegames #gamedev #Godot #solodev

Word Search Cafe is now on Steam. WOOHOO!!! Wishlist it + try the demo — judge me early, it’s fine 😁 No stress, just chill word hunting. Demo = pure gameplay (no achievements or level-ups yet). Thank you in advance for giving it a shot! #indiedev #godot store.steampowered.com/app/4410460/...

Working on getting my demo ready for Steam Next Fest. Adding details here and there, but it is mostly ready and pending approval from Steam before I can launch the Store. Question: Should I create a separate Steam page for the demo, or include it on the same page as the full game? #Godot #gamedev

Steam Achievements added! Still debating if Steam Leaderboard is worth implementing for this kind of games. In case I decide not to add it and players want it, I guess I can add them in any upcoming patch. #gamedev #animation #solodev

My game is almost done. I have spent the past 5 months working on my very first game, it is called Word Search Cafe and will be available on Steam and Mobile, and perhaps on Facebook as well. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. #gamedev #Godot #animation #VideoGames
