I'll show you an animation of opening the inventory in my paper dungeon crawler game. I made it 8 years ago. My friends suggested I add an animation to this post to get people interested. store.steampowered.com/app/1000470/... #gamedev #indiedev #steam #solodev #thebestgameever

Many years ago, I released a first-person paper dungeon crawler. It's hard to believe that was 8 years ago. Time sure flies! store.steampowered.com/app/1000470/... #gamedev #indiedev #steam

That's awesome! The program looks amazing, especially considering it runs in #Aseprite! pixelmatt99.itch.io/asevoxel

Low-poly interior models + attempt at modular environments. Kenney (prototype) textures were used. #Godot #3d #indiedev #psx #lowpoly

I made a paper model of a transformer (it really does transform!) I decided to take a break from game development in the evenings. I designed it in Blender and Inkscape. #papercraft #transformers #actionfigure #crafting #ペーパークラフト

Interesting situation. I released a game in 2017 called "Vzerthos: The Heir of Thunder" Someone calls their game in 2025 "Varthos - Heir to the Throne" A funny coincidence (?) It was "Heir to the Throne", "Varthos" was added 20 days ago. (according to SteamDB) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #steam

I made a first-person turn-based dungeon crawler with pixel art graphics and a sci-fi setting for a jam on Itch.io: darkdes.itch.io/the-disk-heist darkdes.itch.io/the-disk-heist Look at this @dungeoncrawlers.org #GameMaker #pixelart #dungeoncrawler #3d #gamejam #indiedev #indiegame

Wow! Nice jam and so many cool games! I'm surprised that I got 330th place of over 9500 games in one of the categories! Cool! My lowest place in another category is about 4000, which is also good for me. darkdes.itch.io/moto-looper itch.io/jam/gmtk-202... #GameMaker #2d #gamejam #indiedev #GMTKJam

I made a game for #GMTKJam. Call it Moto-Looper. Drive a motorcycle, make loops and collect your balls! You can play in the browser! Or download for Windows and play. darkdes.itch.io/moto-looper #GameMaker #2d #gamejam

DarkDes @darkudesu.bsky.social · 11/05/2025
The Jam has ended! There were a lot of good games. And my Tutoretta took 10th place! Yay! I updated the game by fixing bugs, adding improvements and PAPER graphics! Tutoretta is prototype for #Drawngeon2! #dcjam2025 #dungeoncrawler #gamemaker #pixelart #handdrawn

Almost ended the game for #dcjam2025. You can play or download: darkdes.itch.io/drawngeon-tu... Also, I keep thinking of trying to make an “HD” version with paper drawn textures. #dungeoncrawler #gamemaker #pixelart

Still making a game for #dcjam2025. I don't have enough free time, so I'm going to try to meet an even tighter deadline! I'm once again failing to make an interesting fight. Should I keep these graphics or try to have time to draw non-pixelated ones? #dungeoncrawler #gamemaker #pixelart

DarkDes @darkudesu.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
I'm going to try to make a game for #dcjam2025 I will use "programmers art" for this time. But sometimes I get carried away and start drawing pixel by pixel. I named her Tutoretta. #pixelart #aseprite

Number 10. Portal. DONE! Finally completed the Godortal game! It was very difficult and took about a month to complete. Still a lot of bugs. The video is a walkthrough of one level, there are 4 in total. Check it out: darkdes.itch.io/godortal-game #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Still working on the game-10 Portal. Decided to make a 3d model for a character seen through portals. I based it on a capsule. I accidentally made Amongus. I made an animation for him. Work in progress. #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Portal effect in portal. Since my previous posts about the portal, I broke portal teleportation. Well, at least I added basic portal placement! #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Portals for game number 10. The final game. I don't know why, but the code in _physics_process triggered twice. And I had to make a very ugly moment with the flag that skips one frame after teleportation. However, it almost works as it should! #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Testing physics portals for game number 10. The final game. It's not easy, it doesn't work right. I've been messing around with transformations for a long time. #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Number 9. Doom. DONE! Call it Droown. Made it in 3 days. Graphics from my game Drawngeon. There was a threat of deadlines from a broken plugin, but I made it! It was a lot of fun as well, as was Crash. Check it out: darkdes.itch.io/droown-a-doo... #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Number 8. Crash Bandicoot. DONE! Ugh, that was really hard! But interesting! I swore at Godot a lot. Some things seemed illogical to me and several times the engine CRASHed (not bandicoot!). 1 of 2 level in video. #godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev
