Finished the mainbird rig! Took endless iterations but finally it can do all the stuff I need and transfers flawless to Unreal Engine. 🥳 #indiedev

Please remember to repost and like stuff you see on here. If you have enough energy maybe even leave a nice comment. That will always make someone's day. Maybe it's just me but I feel like I'm seeing a lot less of that in the #gamedev space compared to last year. #indiedev

I started working on giving Makena a friend! This is the second of the five ghost club girls. I gave her a bowl cut for fun but uh... I actually kinda like it? Is it a look or do I need sleep? #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #horrorgame

Thank you to everyone who sent in a voice acting application! The talent was incredible, and the decision was really tough. I listened to every single submission and took notes. I truly hope all our paths cross again in a future project or that I get the chance to recommend you to someone in need! ❤️

Respectfully obsessed with how precise Steam’s image format requirements are. I did my best to follow every rule — and yep, it took 16 different image files to cover all the bases 😅. Will share a file explorer screenshot once I'm approved and NDA-safe! #indiedev #steam

Here’s the first prototype of my mini game, but it’s not really fun yet. I think I might have to ditch the rim/peripheral view for spotting predators since it doesn’t feel intuitive. Any thoughts? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #bird

Finished the texture for the mini-game Mainbird! I started off aiming for a European blue tit, but the colors just weren’t working for me. Sometimes the best results come from happy little detours. What do you think? #GameDev #IndieDev #Bird

Sebastian @birdsdev.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Oh boy… I’m almost finished with this texture, but it sure took me three times longer than I expected! The result is kind of mediocre—but it’ll have to do for now. #gamedev #indiedev

Started to mockup the Mini-Bird-Game. I have some cool ideas for it, hope to keep the scope creep low. Working Title: TINY TITMOUSE TRIALS #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #devlog

Sebastian @birdsdev.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

I need a name for the Mini Game Project. Do you think 'Titmouse Trials' could accidentally get flagged as NSFW on Steam or other platforms? 'Chasing Tits' is definitely out... I think. #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

🐦 Exciting News! Before I take flight with my big dream bird game, I’ve decided to release a tiny bird game to test the ropes of publishing and everything release-related. It’s a stepping stone for the bigger project! #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #BirdGame #IndieGameDev

I wanted to post some stills from my cutscene test too cause it took so long and I'm a bit proud. #indiedev #gamedev #horrorgame #indiegame

Makena (my horror game's main character) is sleeping in her bedroom. The door has been opened and a bit of light illuminates the room.

View from above Makena's bed. A ceiling fan frames the picture.

Bird now avoids crashing into trees without affecting player steering. Would you prefer this, or should it crash or steer away? #screenshotsaturday #GameDev #IndieDev #devlog

Small update today: thinking about expanding the prototype model a bit to test some new techniques, like feather weighting and adding some wiggle using shaders and vertexcolor. #GameDev #IndieDev #MadeWithUnreal

Sebastian @birdsdev.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

Is this technically already a game? I’ve done it! Not sure if a racing mode will make it into the final game, but it’s fun testing! #IndieGameDev #gamedev #bird

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.
