It's important to step back and see your game for what it is, as opposed to how hard you've worked to create it. Development is a long road, and I have to constantly remind myself to avoid serving my pride when I should be serving the project. #GameDev

This #Godot #GodotEngine update is brought to you by State Machines lol. Quite an intense load of lectures there, and it was frustrating when it didn’t work correctly, but I figured out what the problem was because I’m great. This will be a roguelike hack ‘n’ slash game. #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieDev

Christophe is making Prerolled! @qaqelol.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Did some research on fancy string formatting! In Prerolled, we colorize words in CAPS but it became an issue later on. In my guide, I add icons to words with % around, but that's not very flexible. This version is inspired by Deadlock, it uses regex and this {a:b:c} syntax! #Godot #GameDev

Your game may be someone's first game. What you think may be basic may be something they have never encountered. Does your game introduce itself well and help them fall in love with games or bounce them out and send them running? #Gamedev #UX

A few weeks ago, Joan He, an author I follow and admire, posted a note, anachronism.

The latter half resonated with me, particularly where He questions if she will always be herself even without a face, a voice, a body, etc. That she will still exist in the works that she has made.

sometimes it feels like a lot of normal people conceptualize an "artist" as a superposition of both A. a super wealthy fine art elite who does low effort abstract art nobody understands B. someone magically born with the art talent gene even though A is 0.000001% of artists and B is not a thing

For artists who make lineless imaginative-realism type art, what would you say is the most important thing you learned that sped up your process? As much as I enjoy the process for the *most* part I’m becoming increasingly unhappy with how long it takes to finish a piece

There is nothing wrong with free tools. Using Audcaity for sound work? go for it. MS Paint for art? more power to you. Don't let people shame you for using a free tool. If it does what you want then who cares.

One of the most frustrating things about creating anything is spending weeks creating something that takes 20 minutes to consume, and people who may really enjoy spending 20 min that way not having that 20 min available. We live in an attention economy where someone has X hours for infinity options.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.
