Just Zoo Weight by CanisBorealis

Animal stacking has never been so silly

CanisBorealis @canisborealis.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

This marks 5 years of #KenneyJam submissions, and this time I made a silly animal stacking game called "Just Zoo Weight". You try to maximize the weight of (sometimes uncooperative) animals on the giant scale in the sky. Thanks to Kay and Kenney for hosting once again! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Tiny Farm is out now & completely free! 🌾Includes 130+ tiles, objects and items to create farm based games. They fit previous Tiny-pack releases perfectly, so do combine 'em! kenney.nl/assets/tiny-...

I have a collection of sound effects and music files I'd like to sort, but going through them manually sounds like such a chore that they all still live in a big folder with a subfolder per pack. Really not sure how to improve it without a ton of effort 😞

I really like the mechanics you've combined here. Taking damage when you overlap tiles makes so much sense. Always impressed when someone comes up with a gimmick that feels so obvious once I see it in action :)

#pixelart tip: if you give everything a thick 2 pixel outline there's less pixels you can mess up because you lack drawing skills follow me for more terrible tips

Epic has announced Unreal Engine 6. It's a 20% bigger number than 5, making it the biggest number they have ever announced. Unfortunately it fell short of the last major update (4 to 5), which was a whopping 25% increase.

I let chests inherit the default enemy movement behavior... which also made them attack everything. So I guess they're all hyper-aggressive mimics now! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

tbh anybody who's worked on an old PC game and owns the rights to the source code should just release it into the wild, if you don't have any other plans for it. Maybe now it seems like nobody cares about it but I promise you there will be someone who does.

That's an impressive amount of work for a weekend! Who's to say if, like many prototypes, tape and glue are holding it together, but you couldn't tell from looking at it! Taking notes on the subtle animations of the UI and buttons... 📝

You might have noticed that we love frogs, and we think that you might love frogs too. Thus we have decided to take the bold leap to become a fully frog-centric development studio. As a first important step we're officially rebranding Parkitect to Frogitect. We hope you enjoy this new direction 🐸

Yet Another Rhythm Game (YARG) supports shader backgrounds as custom venues, so I've been porting a handful of Shadertoy shaders over amidst lots of gaming 🎸 #YARG #Modding

Sample shader venue in YARG, faux ocean waves

Sample shader venue in YARG, a black hole

Sample shader venue in YARG, a rocket launch pad

I have purged the overworld of skeletons and turned them into grass patches. Also the tiles align correctly now 🌱 #godot #zeldalike #gamedev #indiedev

WIP procedurally generated overworld for an unnamed 2D top-down action adventure game.

Why, yes, I do in fact have multiple video essays about how A Link to the Past is the best classic Zelda game queued up to watch. This is very important research for developing my game and not just confirmation bias!

Subtle detail, but I really like the drop shadow on the enemy sprites. Nice little added depth

Initial overworld generation attempts are going well! (Don't mind the minor collision-ignoring-skeleton infestation) #godot #zeldalike #gamedev #indiedev

A procedurally generated series of overworld rooms for a player to traverse in a top-down 2D rpg. Free-roaming skeletons dot the landscape. Debug highlighting indicates where rooms are supposed to connect (not all of them work as intended yet, though).

There's something really amusing to me about the duck waddling along as the spikes pop up out of the ground behind them

CanisBorealis @canisborealis.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Busy refactoring to support multiple dungeons (and retaining the dungeon state if you switch between them) which does not yield a lot to show off. So instead have a room with more than 3 skeletons! (finally) #godot #zeldalike #gamedev #indiedev
