David Wesst @david.wes.st · 05/10/2026Bob can’t be ugly with moves like that! Keep up the awesome! 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 05/10/2026Still unsure if I’ll complete it, but it’s pretty comforting which appears to be what I need right now. 000
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 05/10/2026Truth is I have been playing it off and on for the past week when my kids aren’t playing it. I’m still in the first area with the ability to unlock the second, but have opted to just try and level things up on the main area first in an attempt to “understand” the game. 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 05/10/2026After a large number of hours— I think it’s safe to say that I like Pokémon Pokopia. Yup. That’s the message. 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 29/09/2026Gotta say— being a part of this has been a lot of fun! Highly recommended for people who like cool things and awesome people. …you do like cool things and awesome people, don’t you? 😎 011
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 29/09/2026Ooo— the screen shake is good. Didn’t think of that. Same with the dizzy animation. I’ll play with those ideas a bit and see if they fit. 110
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 28/09/2026This is the question. Going to get some playtesters trying this out ASAP. My hypothesis is that there isn’t any visual feedback telling the player controls are paused, so they’ll get stuck I am considering letterboxing it or showing a visual on the player character. Feedback is welcome. 😊 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 28/09/2026It takes over. It’s meant to cause sort of a “scene” where you lose a bit of time. Only happens if you’re sprinting though. If you’re at a walking speed, you slow down or come to a halt before hitting the thing. 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 27/09/2026There is also sound in there, although you can't hear it with the GIF. Next up is putting together a full greybox level so validate things are feeling right. All in all-- feeling pretty good about things. :) 100
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 27/09/2026Haven't posted to #ScreenshotSaturday for this game yet-- just been talking a lot about it. 😅 This is a prototype I call "passenger" and in this screenshot I'm running into stuff and getting bounce back to get that "feeling" just right. #indiedev #gamedev 2164
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 26/09/2026The new Majuular video is out about #UltimaOnline. It’s 4.5 hours of tasty, in-depth, retro goodness. K bye. youtu.be/35SKawn2SDI?...youtu.beUltima Online Retrospective | The Last HurrahYouTube video by Majuular 000
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 25/09/2026FYI— My day job is enterprise software development. Game dev doesn’t pay the bills (yet). But hopefully one day! 010
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 25/09/2026Reposting because I can’t write sentences anymore. 🫠 After attending and hosting a panel Prairie Dev Con in #Winnipeg I drew some conclusions about the future of #softwaredevelopment and that future is agentic— which might not as bad as some think. david.wes.st/blog/prairie...david.wes.stThe Future is Agentic (Prairie Dev Con 2026 Takeaways) | David WesstWith Prairie Dev Con (PrDC) 2026 complete, there was a clear theme in everything I managed to see and share—the future of software development is agentic. This doesn't… 110
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 24/09/2026Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for fighting the good fight for the rest of us. 😉 030
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 24/09/2026I’m no expert, but from everything I have seen and been learning— being in gamedev has never been the best place to be indie, especially now. However, the community in gamedev has been the best I’ve interacted with. 020

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 07/09/2026What is crazy is that I have been told repeatedly that multi-hour power outages are once in a lifetime event in my neighborhood. So far, two this year, one last year, and other the year before that. 000
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 06/09/2026Not today. I do have some for a breakfast this weekend though. 010
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 06/09/2026First meal was veggie burgers with a stack of grilled veggies. Burned myself a bit with oil, but this will be quite useful this fall. 110
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 04/09/2026And for the record, there are a lot of awesome games being pitched. These are just the ones that called out to me the most. Good luck to all of devs! 000
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 04/09/2026So uh here’s all the games I want to be made in #dfaf2026 Cosmic Bonsai Fermi’s Playground Lesbian Sled Death Plot Armour Muscle Madness Tractor Takedown Virtual Pet Manifesto I could only vote for 3, and I’ll keep that part to myself. I love that @doublefine.com is doing still doing this. 150
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 27/08/2026I know it’s a small number, but I am DAMN proud of it. Thanks to everyone for subscribing, watching, liking, and especially for commenting. Woot! 000
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 27/08/2026Vacation week is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t make some progress BEFORE vacay!

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 30/07/2026One of the best parts of a @gamesdonequick.com marathon is the absolute bangin’ soundtrack between runs.

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 29/07/2026Two more weeks means a new #gamedev devlog. However this one makes me a bit nervous. Rather than hide that I use GenAI for some admin and code work, I thought I would share where I use it, where I don't use it, and where I've tried using it.

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 21/07/2026✅ Finish PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid’s Curse Improved experience from the last one, but had some of the same flaws. All in all, good time for a visual novel. 020
David Wesst @david.wes.st · 16/07/2026The past couple of weeks have seen little progress with my game project and studio development. But it's okay to take a break sometimes. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment youtu.be/ttY27loPVLgyoutu.beBurnout [Devlog 0005]YouTube video by David Wesst 0122

David Wesst @david.wes.st · 01/07/2026Are video games business or are they art? I mean, they're both to someone like me who is on a journey to make my own studio, but after a 6-week business development lab, I have some more insight into how it impacts the vision I have. #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment youtu.be/2s4oDvjBpxQyoutu.beAre Video Games a Business or Art?
