David Sap @davidsap.com · 08/09/2026Ocarina of time remake was pretty much everything I could’ve hoped for. The young link visuals threw me off for about 5 minutes but I adjusted. Everything else is GORGEOUS 000
David Sap @davidsap.com · 03/08/2026Grabbing is silent! But...just about everything else makes noise. You can always crouch walk for complete stealth, but it's slowwwwww. And big treasure makes ALOT of noise 😅 000
David Sap @davidsap.com · 08/08/2025hey #gamedev #indiegamedev friends! haven't posted in a billion years but I'm back to working on my lo-fi themed platformer here's a morning clip for you hitstop enjoyers. yes the enemies in the game are all canonically corporate stepdads 😂 0115
David Sap @davidsap.com · 26/01/2025I think more devs should look into if their vision can be better scoped to amusements as the space is less saturated and can be just as enjoyable for players. Examples of the excellent Townscaper, or Tiny Glade, I’d classify as toys, and both are fantastic hits and have had commercial success 🧵5/? 000
David Sap @davidsap.com · 26/01/2025While laying it out like this makes it seem like games are inherently better than amusements and so on, I actually don’t think that’s the case. Each serves a different purpose 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 26/01/20254. Game: an experience that relies on 2 or more mechanics that interact with each other such that the interaction creates an experience (game loop) that’s more than the sum of its parts. The game loop is the fun 🧵3/5 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 26/01/20252. Toy: an experience that provides 1 primary mechanic -> you can interact along 1 axis, and that one axis is the fun 3. Amusement: an experience that provides 2 or more mechanics, unconnected-> there are multiple axes but they don’t interact, and each mechanic independently provides its own fun 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 10/12/2024got the basics of enemy detection & pathfinding going -- certainly not Zelda quality but should do fine for the simpler combat 🫠 I would follow this cat mushroom to the end of the earth #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegames 4324
David Sap @davidsap.com · 02/12/2024Not sure if there’s still room, but I’m making a game specifically about herbalism and alchemy! 100
David Sap @davidsap.com · 02/12/2024thanks! all I can see are the areas where I havent finished the animations yet but ive probably been staring at it too long 😂 010
David Sap @davidsap.com · 30/11/2024time to show off my new project so far for #screenshotsaturday! only about a week into this so far, but happy with what's in so far. it's an adventure game with broad stroke inspiration from some of my all time favorites - wind waker, kingdom hearts, dark cloud, jak and dax :) #gamedev #indiegames 2236
David Sap @davidsap.com · 30/11/2024Speaking on behalf of I’m sure a million indie devs, we appreciate you!! 010
David Sap @davidsap.com · 27/11/2024I was wondering the same thing recently, if you figure it out let me know! 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 25/11/2024Thanks for your thoughts and for reaching out! I really appreciate it. Definitely, it’s a back and forth I’ve felt before and for now am landing on doing something else but you know I’ll be keeping up with yours. Can’t wait for a future where we can all play together 🥹 000
David Sap @davidsap.com · 24/11/2024I’m open to it! Although my networking proficiency is mostly limited to Unity’s architecture and I think they work in godot 010
David Sap @davidsap.com · 24/11/2024while I'm a big proponent of "no other game will have your unique voice", in this case, I just wanted a KAR clone to exist that provides the same gameplay I love but with modern online multiplayer I'm just glad it exists, even if I didn't make it. now freed up for other things! 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 24/11/2024lol and just like that DracoDrift is back on hiatus! I came across @goofyblocks.bsky.social excellent in-progress AirRide-like, and decided to put pause on my own to pursue other projects for now (update on that soon!) if you're a KAR fan like me, go support them! 321
David Sap @davidsap.com · 24/11/2024Would love to be added! Been happily building games in Unity for a decade ☺️ 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 24/11/2024Couldn’t agree more. Does not make sense to me how effective it is but I’m addicted to silencing the world 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 18/11/2024I’m working on it 😭 gotta be the change since Nintendo won’t answer the call 030
David Sap @davidsap.com · 17/11/2024Would love to be included if there's room! I'm working on a Kirby Air Ride spiritual successor. Similar vibes as the original, but with cute racing dragons 😆 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 16/11/2024I’d love to be added as well if there’s room! New to Bluesky, still learning how it works haha 010
David Sap @davidsap.com · 12/11/2024Mine is “If this message is displayed, something deeply wrong happened” 😂 110
David Sap @davidsap.com · 12/11/2024One more update from the past few months - draco evolution! as you gain/lose powerups (in this case offense), your draco visually changes. other players can get a sense of your stats at a glance! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames 0121
