What happens if you shut down a game mid-save? Ask 10yo me, who lost 30+ hrs of FF9 to a lightning strike! Refactored my game's SaveManager this week: writes a temp file, swaps it in once done, keeps old save as backup. Worst case: minutes lost, not everything. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Saunagon Escape is now playable from start to finish, yay! Time to polish. Fun fact: roughly 900 cups of coffee went into making it. Though it's only ~1hr long, a lot of work went into the systems: 7 rooms, inventory, save/config managers, and more. #gamedev #solodev #godot #indiedev #pixelart

Finally got the "boring thing" done for my game project: the Pause Menu and all its settings (at least the first version of it). Tadah! I had avoided this like a final boss with no health items left, but turns out it wasn't that scary. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Had two close ones playtest Saunagon Escape earlier this week. About an hour of gameplay, and loads of great feedback on the puzzles and setting. Watching someone else play your game for the first time is something special. Back to polishing! ✨ #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

Went outside to record some SFX on ice at −22°C. Got a few good ones for my game, and also frozen fingers 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

I’m drawing the background for my game's main menu, and I'm really liking how this is turning out. This is still the first, unpolished version, but here goes. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

All 7 rooms are now in place, phew! What started as one sauna grew into a bigger complex with even outside areas. I still need to create and draw a couple of puzzles (plus menus and intro and endings...!), but it's starting to feel closer to done. 🔥 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Today marks 3 years since I published my first mobile game on Google Play. It's a humorous, endless beer runner. I made it with Godot 3. It's been downloaded only a few hundred times, but played thousands of times, which I'm happy about! play.google.com/store/apps/d... #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Room by room, pixel by pixel... The escape sauna is coming together. 4 rooms in, about 60% done I think, and it’s starting to feel real. To all other devs: keep on keeping on! 🔥 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Somewhere beneath the ice, a key lies buried. Dodge the perch and pikes, hook the key, and reel it in without losing it. Does this look too tricky or just the right level of challenge? 🎣 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Ngl, after finishing my game's room 3 I hit the brakes. I didn’t know what puzzles came next or how the story would end, and that drained my motivation. Went back to my GDD, designed the path, and now I'm hyped to build again. Well designed is half done. ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

The flooding 2nd room of my isometric escape-the-room game has progressed nicely this week. Soon I'll get to work on the 3rd "room", which will be Outside Pool 🥶🧊 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #screenshotsaturday

You'll float too. ☔ Thundershower visual prototype is done for now. Time to dive into development tomorrow! 🏊‍♂️ The end result should have flashing lights and music, and also some electrifying puzzles.. ⚡ #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Spent last week designing puzzles for my game's 2nd room and this week drawing it. The room is still wip, but it's taking shape! Love doing pixel art with iPad Mini btw, easy to take everywhere 🚗💨 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

In January my goal was to work on my game every single day and get some bigger features done, such as save/load game and room change functionality. Got all this done and some more, yay! In February I'm building the second room 🧩✨ #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Buried Cake Games @buriedcake.games · 22/01/2025

Changed my game’s resolution from 320x180 to 256x192, and somehow everything feels better! Gotta reposition the room selection buttons somewhere next :] 🧩 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Buried Cake Games @buriedcake.games · 19/01/2025

Created some room selection art for the left side of the UI, will animate them later. Not sure about the final UI structure yet, but we'll see. So much space horizontally with 320 x 180! 🌌 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Buried Cake Games @buriedcake.games · 15/01/2025

Yuss, I got an automatic save & load implemented into my game! It was 10x easier in Godot than I expected. Now, every time player makes an action or picks up an item, it gets saved 😁 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Buried Cake Games @buriedcake.games · 14/01/2025

Diving into Save & Load mechanics today! Last time I tackled this was two years ago, and apparently my brain didn’t save the process either. Time to do some relearning! 📚 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

Been adding room change functionality under the hood and also improved code for all sorts of tricky game testing! ✨ The first room is nearly finished, only some SFX recording remains. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #godotengine

Goal for January: Get the Sauna room finished! 🛠️ This means polishing pixels and recording SFX, and yes, maybe taking a mic into the sauna. The things we do for game dev. #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart

Can’t decide: playful background music or winter forest ambience? ❄️ Playful is funnier, but ambience makes all the little SFX pop. Pretty sure I’ve spent more time overthinking this than actually making the game lately 😜 #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine #pixelart #solodev

Confession time! I’ve been avoiding developing one big feature: handling room changes. Save and load them? Hide and show? I have traumas of memory leaks 😭 In the meantime, I’ve mastered the art of refactoring and adding small stuff to dodge the hard decisions 💪 #gamedev #solodev #godotengine
