Paddlenoid is in the Steam Autumn Sale! 🍂 It's a brick breaker you can play with a friend. Control your paddles, bend the universe, and defeat the Galactic Empress. For under $3 you can look as happy as my niece does playing it.😊 store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #indiegames #steam

That's a really important point. Testing should always be as frictionless as possible. Otherwise it just won't happen enough.

My advice for making a game that you'll still want to play after months of development: add cheats early. You shouldn't have to prove you can beat your own game every time you need to test something halfway through it 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

Interesting. I hadn't even thought of that. But you're right. This way the player chooses to invest, which makes it more meaningful.

I spent far longer than expected getting Paddlenoid's story right. Two endings, a dark sci-fi mystery, lots of rewriting. Then I made every cutscene skippable. I wanted to tell a story, but maybe just want to break some blocks 🙂 #gamedev #indiegames

That game was better for it. But it is always hard to scrap some serious effort.

Paddlenoid originally had scrolling landscapes to make it feel like you were traveling through the world. We spent ages on them. Then cut them because they distracted from the game. “Kill your darlings” 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

Completely agree. Every feature in the tooling should earn it's place. But I'm still so conflicted sometimes. During the making of my previous game I feel like it was only when working on the last couple of levels that the tooling really came together. I wanted to go back and redo everything 😅

How long should you spend working on your game engine before getting back to making a game? I'm trying to apply everything I learned from Paddlenoid. Turns out I learned a lot 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

Paddlenoid's full soundtrack is just over 6 minutes long, distilled from more than an hour of music I composed for it. I spent several months on it with barely any musical experience. Still very happy with how it turned out! 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0H7... #gamedev #indiegames

My first attempt at an iPad App Store preview for Paddlenoid. Turns out it's way too long (1 minute) and the 60Hz frame rate is too high. I didn't mean to show off. 😅 #gamedev #indiegamedev #AppStore

My enterprise code: I review carefully and test every path I can imagine but I don't code at all anymore. My game code: I still find myself replacing and manually coding large swaths of it. One is just a bit more dense and tricky than the other... #gamedev #indiegamedev

The space levels are the most fun. This is one of the later, multi stage levels, where the game has obviously broken and you'll move through different out-of-place areas. You can play Paddlenoid on Android too: play.google.com/store/apps/d... #indiegames #gamedev

Absolutely. Or the very least let's them refuel for the next challenge.

Not every level needs to be harder than the last. A good game balances challenge with fun. Sometimes players just need to breathe. This level is about mid game 😊 #gamedev #indiegames

There's this secret language that I know, I talk to machines and make them do what I want. But now the machines are starting to understand natural language. What is my place now? There's always value in understanding the machines. #ai #coding #gamedev

It's morse code 😊 The long blocks are dashes and the shorter ones dots. Just a sentimental wink to lost friends. Pets do become part of your family. #gamedev #indiegames

I think the whole discussion is between the purist and the pragmatist. If coding was always the objective you'll hate AI. If it was just a means to an end you'll love it. ... and then there's the sales people 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

They're collectibles. But whether you should collect them is up to you... If you pick up enough of them you'll learn their true purpose and what's really going on.
