Been fingerpainting weird stuff on my phone again

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 21/09/2026

I think CRTs are cool (watched movies on them for most of my childhood) and I thought it would be fun to use one as an extra monitor, but I can’t stand the high frequency whine it makes. Idk if it’s just my TV, but I don’t remember hearing this when I was a kid. Maybe I just didn’t notice, haha

Drew a yarn ball creature and rendered it with MRMO-CRT (by @mrmotarius.bsky.social) This shader is pretty cool, very realistic

Forgot to post the results of my initial work into integrating Box3D and Physics into my engine a week or two ago. Looks promising so far.

Been working hard on my custom game engine again for the past few weeks. Finished MD2 loading and keyframe-interpolation animations. Also been working on a proper scene-based entity pooling system. It’s almost time to start integrating a physics library so I can finally start making a proper game.

My Tetris-inspired game, DWELLTRIS, is now playable for free on itch with a Steam page coming eventually.

Making this silly zombie model has brought me so much happiness

Made a little zombie model for my 3DS game (maybe?). Next step is loading him into my engine.

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 23/06/2026

Been working on a custom game engine written in C for the 3DS that actually runs on the hardware. Recently figured out hardware lighting and custom fonts (TTF and Bitmap). (Placeholder textures are CC0 from the Zortch texture pack) #3ds #nintendo

Working on that iridescent oil slick, bismuth look

New shader I wrote last night. I gotta stop doing this and work on gameplay stuff for a change 😩 #shaders #godotengine #solodev

Re-uploading this because the previous upload was like 20fps for some reason: Looking for feedback on the SFX design. I think it’s cool but I worry that a lot of people will quickly get sick of it. #indiegame #solodev #tetris #screenshotsaturday

Rediscovered an old #pico8 game I made in 2019. I forgot how much fun I used to have making tiny games like this.

An alternative variation of the impact warp. Not sure which one I like better… #godot #indiedev #shader #tetris

Worked on a slam impact “warp” shader effect for my Tetris-like game #godot #indiedev #shader #tetris

My weird Tetris is getting weirder And it’s actually pretty fun! #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame

Reworked the camera because I wasn’t happy with It before. I really like this thing 😄 #godot #indiegame #indiedev #tetris

Made a little Tetris-like game while watching Christmas movies with my family #tetris #indiedev #godotengine

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 04/11/2025

Reworked the lighting again. All of the 'lights' you see in this video are just clever shader tricks on completely unlit geometry. This is significantly more performant than using Godot's omnidirectional lights and dynamic shadows aren't really a concern for my art style. #solodev #indiegame

WIP beam attacks. After charging the attack you don't have to charge between shots if you don't miss. It rewards precision with high damage potential. Still working on it though, especially the VFX. #solodev #indiedev #godot

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 25/10/2025

Better fire VFX for this creature

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 23/10/2025

Haven’t been able to touch the game for a few days but I wanted to share this thing in motion. It was supposed to be ominous but maybe it’s just silly. It should be more unsettling when I animate the mouths to chomp and chatter and finish designing its ranged attack. #indiedev #solodev

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 18/10/2025

Fixed the billboard particles so they work right with the 360 degree FOV. Hardly noticeable change for some people but it was something I couldn’t overlook.

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 05/10/2025

Finished texturing this abomination I made for a commission. #lowpoly #horrorgame #horror

Thanks so much to whoever donated, you absolute madlad!

Pocket Dimension now supports custom color palettes! Once I publish this update I’ll make a guide (or maybe even a video) explaining how to make custom themes/texture packs.

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 09/09/2025

While I was developing my #roguelike, I made this weird little level where I would have all of the game’s creatures locked up in little prison cells and all of the items easily accessible. It was very convenient for testing bugs, but I accidentally made a torture chamber I think 😅

‘Pocket Dimension’ A bite-sized traditional ascii-roguelike you can play during a coffee break or the other "unskippable side quests" of our present age! Made in my spare time over two weeks as a personal challenge

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 05/09/2025

Here’s the key art for my upcoming #roguelike game, “Pocket Dimension”, skillfully drawn by @ woefulbeetle on Instagram. Much better than my insane scribblings 😆 If I get off work at a reasonable time today, the game will drop tonight. So keep at least one eye open!

I am currently working on a properly windowed mode with a customizable bitmap font for the people who don’t want to play games in a real terminal.

DeepDarkDweller @deep-sea.fish · 26/08/2025

Made a silly little roguelike in python last Friday for a “gamejam” (stress-induced mania). Ended up being so fun that I’ve been polishing it up over the past several days. I think I’ll release it on itch.io this weekend, just because.
