Finally got around to posting it. This is like a spiritual successor to Whoops, Forgot To Post These. Full of random, standalone works I've made in ReNoise since 2025 when I started using Linux. Also I sing in one of them. chaoskid1024.bandcamp.com/album/im-in-...

I'm going to release some standalone songs I've had lying around on my hard drive soon. Kept on putting it off because I didn't feel like "finalizing" it, but honestly, I *need* to just get it out there already because the fact that I STILL haven't posted these is starting to drive me crazy.

Prototyping a new boss fight. I've been going back and forth on this one for a while but I think I'm finally getting somewhere I like! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Did a Game Boy cover of Dire Dire Docks. It did get automatically claimed, though. Might want to steer away from Nintendo stuff in the future. Nevertheless, I like how it turned out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQA7... #chiptune

Various new (and some old but fixed up) mechanics in Sugarland. Also, there's sound effects! I replaced the marshcats (they were marshmallow cats) with smore spring pads, and added a couple new sugary treats like donuts and gummy bears. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Been a while but I finally posted another chiptune cover on the main channel. I have another Game Boy cover I'd like to post soon as well, and then I might post a collection of original works that have been piling up for a while. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxa6... #chiptune

I'm feeling really burnt out so I'm going to stop doing game dev for at least the rest of July. Need some time to recharge. Sort of pondering if I want to do some chiptune again. Honestly, I kind of miss just doing chiptune on the YouTube channel.

This background was a headache to program, but it seems to be working now... more or less. It's still a little flickery, but I'm pretty sure I know how to fix that.

ChaosKid @chaoskid1024.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

Very irresponsible thing for me to have done with a language I barely understand that could also totally brick my entire computer but I made a rudimentary snake game in bash. I'll warn you, it's got a lot of flickering, though.

Fixed up an issue with the web build of CHAOS MAZE. Looking back at the old project and playing it again, I've realized it gets too easy once you figure it out. I'm lightly considering adding a hard mode now. chaos-kid.itch.io/chaos-maze/d...

Fix for web build's culling issue

The HTML5 version of CHAOS MAZE used to use really aggressive culling systems which I frantically made myself last minute because I encountered a weird, web-exclusive issue on the last day of the jam....

ChaosKid @chaoskid1024.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

The artwork's pretty lazy and placeholder-y right now, but I've been creating a sort of, like, Sonic special stage-esqe thing for Dreamscape, reinterpreting the player's moveset so they move *forward* rather than left or right. It's kind of trippy! #indiedev #gamedev

it works, the new renderer is bug free! to catch folks up on the experiment, this is a zero polygon renderer which uses a heightmap raycaster similar to comanche. it's a single pass with terrain + n bookended pairs of layered geometry, so you can do overlaps.

Battle against claw machine. Took about three days, pretty happy with it I think. So, that's three bosses done now, and anywhere between three and five to go. Day one was making a rough prototype, day two was drawing spritework, and today was sound effects. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

ChaosKid @chaoskid1024.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Starting to wonder if I should just remove the roll ability from Dreamscape and just replace it with the roll jump. It's a kind of weird and awkward mechanic that I haven't been using in level design at all really, but I do find the roll jump much more fun and easier to design levels with.

BUMP is done! Made in ReNoise, kind of like up-beat synth wave with a sprinkle of Jet Set Radio. And a LOT of supersaw synth lead. Going on Bandcamp first because I'm still waiting on the YouTube video to render. chaoskid1024.bandcamp.com/album/bump

Album artwork I drew for BUMP, a collection of ReNoise works that should be coming out very soon on my Bandcamp and YouTube channel.

Pixel art of the word "BUMP" in stylized, blocky letters. Triangles and squares with different patterns overlap to create weird dithering effects. It is an analogous, red-magenta-blue color scheme, save for two green triangles.

ChaosKid @chaoskid1024.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Learned some bash scripting, made a really rudimentary local backup system. Way better than my previous "system" of just manually copy-pasting. I know there's probably software I could use to do this better but, honestly, this works well enough for me, especially with how small this game is.

A simple Linux bash script. It first copies the project directory to a "working directory", removes a few folders from that directory, then uses 'tar' to create a zipped archive copy of that working directory, and finally deletes the working directory when its done.

Had a busy month eaten up by schoolwork and finals, but now I've finally got some time for Dreamscape. Made a new mechanic that bounces the player like a pinball, allowing them to gain ridiculous speed and height. Just test art for now, though. #gamedev, #indiedev

you can make a multiphonic wavetable that sounds like 3 notes, and then you can stack them on 2 channels for some thick sounding chords

Kind of been getting slammed by finals lately. But there's going to be a new album soon. Probably mid May-ish.

Finally, the bulk of my music is no longer only available in YouTube video form! This was way more work than I thought it'd be, but it's exactly 32 tracks long, which is a power of two so it makes me happy! There's also some new stuff in here, actually. chaoskid1024.bandcamp.com/album/select...

Finally getting around to porting some of my standalone YouTube work to Bandcamp. Plus some "new" stuff that's never been posted before. It's going to take me some time to work through all of them, though.

Moles were feeling weak. So, I reworked them to pop up more quickly, and added elemental variations to their attacks. The tethered wrenches are easily my favorite! Wrench jumping is still technically a valid strategy, but Earth and Air moles now need appropriate resistances. #gamedev #nes #indie

I really hate asking for money, but if you want to help me get through this very last stretch of development which coincidentally seems to be when my finances are the worst they've ever been, I would greatly appreciate it.

Quick update: haven't had any time to work on Dreamscape, just been working on school. Got to do a comp-sci based research project at least. But, yeah, busy semester.

Have an old laptop I used to use as a late teen that I barely turn on anymore. Used to have very fond memories of that time, until one day recently I had to find an old video on it and decided to look through some of those old files... I think I'd rather leave that time behind.

Been trying to get backgrounds done but haven't had much time due to a rather busy semester. So things have been, and might continue to be, slow. In the meantime, here's one of the backgrounds I've been experimenting with.
